[sm-t211] Enabling button haptic feedback? - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My device is the 7" sm-t211.
Can you guys tell me is there is an app for enabling the vibration and light of the back and menu button on the device?
I cannot seem to find it in the settings app. Also flashed rooted stock firmware with odin, not sure if that made the setting disappear, didn't check it before.
Back and Menu button is working, it's just there's no light, and vibration feedback.

there isnt suppoesd to be i believe, even for 8 or the 10

There's a vibration motor inside this 7.0 tab for phone calls, notifications, etc.
I'm sure we can enable vibration feedback for both of those keys with softmod.
but I'm not sure where to start.
as for the backlit, forget it, it's hardware limitation.
Update : tried to modify qwerty.kl in system/usr folder, but no dice.
somebody tried?

keyboard vibration

Hi guys
I cant remember if I had this done before but isnt it possible to turn the vibration off when the keys are pressed in the dialer? I do have the KB Mod but all options for the keyboard feedback are switched off, but it still does it
any ideas
Press and hold Menu until the keyboard comes up, tap the settings icon.Now select Text Input and uncheck the Vibrate when typing option.

Ah yes you are correct, it only turns off vibration for the Keypad and not the dialer, i shall keep looking
EDIT: Yep, that kinda sucks... even by turning off the Haptic feedback and Vibrate on keypress only affects when you use literally the keyboard like typing messages even if the description of the Haptic feedback feature says that it is also applicable to certain UI interactions. It would have been good if the dialer were included in the interactions. But the truth is the dialer seems like an another story, which I think it is a bit weird.
Once full root access is available, hopefully we can install an app like Wysie's Contacts app (available on Nexus) which allows you to disable the feedback function on the dialer.

Aye, it's a little annoying though and I too would like to find a way to have it's function disabled
As mentioned above, I think once full root access is available hopefully, and if it is made available for the Desire, we can install an app like Wysie's Contacts app (available on Nexus) which allows you to disable the feedback function on the dialer.

No haptic sound !

Hi guys! i got my new galaxy nexus yesterday! after a long time with my GREAT galaxy S i made the change.
One strange problem, when i turn on the nexus i notice that it make no sound when you press something on screen (like back key, home, but also in the settings menu etc) i was thinking that keypress tone was unticked but it was!
after 10 minutes the nexus ask for the update (great!!! ) to 4.0.2 , all gone fine but keypress sound still don't sound! also the keyboard don't make sound (set tone on in keyboard setting)
and also (and last) no sound when lock-unlock the phone...
any ideas?
thanks!
do you mean heptic feedback? when you press the keys and it makes a slight noise and vibrates or when your actually dialing numbers? If so have you checked your system volume?
Settings --> Sound --> Volume, make sure that you have your volume turned up.
Settings --> Sound --> Touch Sounds, make sure its checked.
Settings --> Sound --> Dial-pad touch tones , make sure its checked.

thanks for the aswers (also to sonikot) yes i mean haptic feedback sound
all sound checked, and volume is full for each voices, and its work because in ringtone, notification, games ecc the sound work fine!
i try to deselect touch sound dial pad ecc and reselect again but no effect.
Touch vibrate work fine, when check, the touch vibrate, when un-check the touch don't vibrate.
so i miss : haptic feedback, unlock-lock phone sound, and keyboard sound (i also check this point in the keyboard settings)
other sound seems to work fine... what happen?
a question: where is , in system folder, the .ogg for the haptic sound? so i check if the file exist ;-)
hi, nobody has any ideas for solve my problem with sound?
a new detail:
yesterday i unlocked the nexus and make root, after the full wipe the phone reboot to the standard initial configuration page (choose the language and after set your account etc) in these pages the haptic sound work!!! but when i finished the configuration of the account, back to homescreen, no haptic sound again... it's very strange !
please helpppp ;-)
I had this happen to me after unlocking my phone also. Sounds were ticked on, but would not play (even keyboard sounds).Someone in another thread suggested it might be due to using the "Restore Apps" option when first setting up the phone.
What I ended up doing was perform a factory reset and choosing not to restore apps. As I had just unlocked, it wasn't much of a hassle.
This may or may not be the case with your phone so you might want to try this as a last resort.

thanks! interesting, and possible... now i have already restored my apps (automatic, where do i set NOT restore app ??) so by now i can wait... it's possible that soon i'll try some fresh ROM from the devolper forum and maybe this solve all problem heheh
There is no haptic sound as such, just the motor buzzing when you press the screen. If a sound was to actually be heard each time I touched the screen I'd go insane!

?? haptic sound exist not every time you touch the screen, only for keys, keyboard and settings menu... but it exist, maybe your nexus is like mine and haptic never work for you like me... go to setting-sound and check ;-)

[Q] Missing Silent Mode on Jelly Bean?

Hi all, How are you?
I updated my Galaxy Nexus to Jelly Bean, and It seems that silent mode options were removed from Settings?
I have spent some time searching for the silent mode options on Settings and I could not figure out where they are now.
Please, May someone confirm that Silent mode options were removed from stock Jelly Bean (4.1.1 Build JR003C)?
thanks in advance,
Roger

Hi Roger,
I am new but thought maybe I could help. If you hold the power button for a second a menu will appear. Just touch the speaker with the / through it or just hit volume down until the speaker has a strike through it from the main menu. Does that help?

Use volume rocker down key till it goes to silent mode
Hi all,
thanks a lot for helping.
So, Were the silent options really removed from settings on Android 4.1 stock?Or are they somewhere else?
I could't find it...
Both work around posted works, but it is huge drawback as I can`t switch between Silent mode profiles easily anymore
(normal, only vibrate and mute all profiles) =(
On ICS, I could easily switch between normal profile, vibrate and mute all on Settings as those options where all on the same place.
Is there any Settings menu where I can do the same on Jelly Bean?

It works only to put the phone on vibrate, and It is not efficient/practical hit the volume rocker all the time when You switch among those profiles very often...

I am not sure what is missing because I always use the volume rocker or the power switch to change profiles. If you hold down the power button there should be 3 options on the bottom of the screen. 1. The speaker with a / through it (silent mode) 2. A vibrating phone (vibrate only mode) 3. A regular speaker (all on). If you are not seeing 3 options I am not sure how to solve your problem. Also if you are thankful, please hit the thanks button instead of saying thanks. Cheers and good luck Roger.

Hi NexUsandThem,
thanks a lot for helping again (this time I used the thanks button )
Those options were also available on Settings->Sound on ICS.
I have looked on Android 2.3 and 4.0.4 and those options are present there.
Therefore, I think they were removed from Jelly Bean =/
i have silent mode?

this is from 4.1.1
Well you are definitely missing something as the picture above shows the power-menu on jb with all the 3 actions you have requested? Mine looks like this as well.
Sound Menu API changed with Jellybean update V4.1.1.1
Why did Google change the Mute and Vibrate controls in update V4.1.1.1 ? I have been using two profile managment programs, 1 is automatic and 1 is a set of manual presets of the user's own design.
Changes that messed me up:
-Mute had been removed from the sound menu.
-Vibrate is on automatically on all rings and notifications when you turn the volume down to zero.
My profile programs cannot access the manual controls available when you hold the power button.
Because of the demands of my job, I have become a phone "user", rather than a phone hobbyist who has hours to tinker with a phone. I wish Google wouldn't just scramble controls around between versions, breaking the functionality of profile APPS bought on Google Market.
I am just sort of pissed because of the time lost to this problem and my phone is still vibrating when I don't want it too.

Notification vibrate

Two weeks ago, toggling the silent mode settings between Silent, sound only, vibrate only, and sound-vibe controlled the ringer and all the notifications. So, any app that generated a notification would follow this setting. You know, like every phone every made since their advent.
My phone just came back from samsung (screen repair) with MD4 everything. I also put MOAR on it. Now, that toggle no longer controls the notification vibration. The only way to set vibration for notification is go into the individual application settings. This is ridiculousness. I thought I could make a workaround with tasker, but "Vibrate on notify" is also no longer available.
Can anyone verify this is the way it is? Or is something wrong with mine?

I'm not sure if this will work as I'm on AOSP rom but try this.
Under Settings/Sound - select volumes, you should get a popup for volume settings. There should be an option for "Link Ringtone & Notification Volumes". Select that and notifications should follow the same rule as phone ring tone. Hope it works for you.
Bumping this. Does anyone have a solution to this complete epic failure of engineering by either google or samsung? It's absolutely absurd that if I want to cycle vibrate on and off, I have to go into 5 different apps, dig through menus of each app, and change each app's individual notification settings.
After you received the Device back from Samsung, did you happen to notice if the Toggle worked correctly ? I'm currently on MOAR, and everything works as it should. Did you do a Clean install of MOAR ? Meaning a Full Wipe System - Data - Dalvik Cache -Cache - Factory Reset ? Did you verify the MD5 Checksum of the Rom before Flashing ?

When I sent the phone away, it had MOAR 4 and whatever was prior to MD4.
When I got the phone back, it came with MD4. I clean flashed MOAR 4. Not more vibe on notify. I didn't check that before I flashed, but presumably that feature went away with MD4.
Clean flashing to MOAR 5 still lacks that feature.
So this leads me to believe it is an MD4 "feature".
Ok so I think I understand you a bit better now. You are not saying that the Toggle is broken, you are saying that when you use the Toggle certain apps do not respond accordingly. Have you tried : Menu - Settings - Sound - Ringtones and notifications. Make sure that Vibrate and ringing is checked.
No no. The problem is that THERE IS NO TOGGLE. The toggle for selecting notification vibrate no longer exists. It isn't there. Taken away. No option, no selection, no checkbox, no nothing. And tasker shows it as not available so I can't work around it either.
Look at these two screenshots. There is nothing to set notification vibrate, and there there is nothing to link notification settings up with ringer settings. All gone. The Vibrate when ringing checkbox controls only the phone call vibrate and has no effect on notifications.
The only way to control whether you get a vibrate for notification, is to go into each application and manually turn it's vibrate option on. That application will then vibrate at all times. If I set the phone for silent, that app's notifications will still vibrate. If I set the phone for sound only, that app still vibrates. If I have the app's vibe turned off, and I set the phone for vibrate, I will never receive any notification since there is no vibrate for notification.
Make sense now?
Did you try changing it in Vibration Intensity ?

Sure I could go into vibration intensity and lower it down to zero. But that is not a toggle. There is no way to adjust that without going through all the menus and changing the slider. It will not change itself when I put the phone into vibrate. It will not change itself when I put the phone into sound & vibe. It isn't solving anything. The problem is the removal of the toggle.
You can try THIS , or maybe the one HERE.

Those just do the same exact thing the phone already does. Toggle the RINGER. Nothing to do with notifications.
I've been asking around about this too. It's really annoying having to change the notification settings in each app every time. Someone suggested a Tasker profile to change the vibrate settings in specified apps but I haven't figured out how to do it.

[Q] CM 10.2 - How to turn off the touch buttons light on notification?

Hello everyone,
I am new here.
I have flashed CM 10.2 on my HOX and everything is working great except of the battery draining fast, but this is not why I am herenow.
There is a problem with the notification light on the touch buttons. I am not sure if this is only on my device, or if it's on all devices that flashed CM 10.2
What I tried so far is disabling the Button Backlight Notifications
Code:
chmod 444 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/slow_blink
But this just disabled all the notification lights. and not only the soft buttons' .
Your help is so much appreciated here guys.
Thank you
try this

It doesn't seem like you understood my question.
When I receive a new email, or any kind of notification, the only light that is supposed to light up is the one on top.
But I also see the soft buttons light on.
The app you suggested doesn't disable the notification, but it disables the buttons light or in other words, it just controls their brightness.
Thank you anyway

I copied it to the /system/app folder, gave it permission 644 as every other file in that folder.
Restarted the phone, there is no service, when I unlock the phone, it just turns off. it doesn't even restart, just simply turns off.
Have you or anyone faced this problem before?
Update:
Actually it just turns off after a few second. I didn't even have to go through the lock screen
Bump...
Anyone?? Please I need a solution.
At least answer me. is this only on my device, or on all CM 10.2???
Sorry I tested this under slim bean but i assume it would work under AOSP based roms under slim bean it added as a app and you could select various options like swipe 2 wake however maybe cm rom does not support it in the kernel. Sorry i can't really help anymore
It's okay, I understand, I got it deleted by mounting the system partition while I was in recovery,
And now it's time to try CM 11.0 nightly
Thank you
