S20 Plus Haptic types - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

I'm normally using gboard as my keyboard and it has 'regular' haptic response for all keys. However I had to go into safe mode and it defaulted to Samsung keyboard and I realised that it has different haptic 'types' for letters/number and space and backspace. The later two have a basic vibration feeling, but typing letters have this very nice and pleasant 'tapping' sort of haptic.
Is there a way to change what haptic feedback is used for any gestures, because I like this haptic so much now I'd love to have it all the time
Thanks

[Q] haptic feedback via physical keyboard?

this might sound weird but is it possible to have haptic feedback via physical keyboard?
before the epic. i was so used to onscreen keyboards and the haptic feedback. is there any app out there or mod that enable such feature?

[Q] Keyboard - arrow keys?

I'm coming from a phone with a trackball... a MyTouch 3G that I had kept current thanks to CyanogenMod. This is much better lol.
I used that trackball though, all the time, mostly for selecting text that I'd screwed up... or to move the cursor between words where I wanted to add a sentence. But sometimes was nice too, for moving to the next form field, or scrolling focus to the "submit" button, etc.
I'm pretty happy with my Swiftkey X keyboard - it's got an option to enable arrow keys. I'm surprised Swype doesn't? I'm used to Swype and really would like to use that.
So my question is twofold:
Any other good keyboards with either a simulated trackpad or arrow keys?
and/or...
How do you live without it? I can adapt if I know the tricks.

Hackers keyboard is nice. Has the four arrows and a number row. Plus you can enlarge or reduce the keys.
The best solution I have found so far is an app called GameKeyboard. The dpad simulates the repeated keypress of a held down arrow key, or joystick (which is essential for many games).
However, it has bugs, and the qwerty mode is slow (you swipe horizontally across the keyboard to switch between gamepad mode and keyboard mode). I enable it specifically for games, and then switch back to my main keyboard (i.e. swype) for everything else.
Here's a link:

in swype there is an arrow option. swype from the swype/option button to the sym/123 button and a arrow keypad comes up. also from sym/123 button to "f" brings up a number pad.
thumb keyboard has arrows

[Q] Keyboard haptics

Hi,
every spec chart states that the Y doesn't have haptics but I actually receive vibration feedback when I hold the hardware home button .
What I want to know is if it's only a software limitation, if there's a way to emulate it (like "touchXplorer"), I'm only interested in typing feedback so maybe a modded virtual keypad will do the job.
Because it's nonsense to me that other gingerbread have it and mine doesn't, even if it's there.
Many thanks
Use SwiftKey x or some other Keyboard apps, they have haptic feedback!
Thanks! I've tried some.
But I've found out why there's no haptic in the young.. even with short vibration time it has an awful feeling. It's really not designed to work this way.
hei man ... i recently bought a galaxy y ...and had the same weird feeling about no haptic feedback... lights on the buttons . but i found a way just to enable haptic feedback for the back and menu buttons ... thanks to the guy that gave me the flashable zips .
here is the link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1556491
i was wondering..if you guys know if i can get the "back "button sound...my phone only has that "click "on the left capacitive button ... is that normal ?

thats definetely true (lol). I remove my heptic mod right after I used it. a vibrating button will drains our battery faster anyway.

[Q] touch haptics

yesterday i saw my friends galaxy s.when i press any icon on screen it vibrates.is this not available in galaxy w.i am not talking about key board.but talking talking about general touch on the screen.any help?
Our SGW hasn't such a setting, but anyway it is not good for the battery life ;-)
There is no hepatic feedback feature on the Galaxy W from what I know of. Hopefully some developer can add this option.
When I use thumb keyboard I have haptic feedback. So it is possible.

Is that possible to enable haptics feedback when pressing the soft key, mean the "option" and "back" key?? I couldn't found any setting to enable it.

Read again the first post. Question was about haptic feedback in system, not in keyboard app. And yes, SGW has vibration device, so it can support haptic feedback, but there is no support in the system itself, we have haptic feedback only in some apps.

Once again, our SGW hasn't such a setting. See the posts above.
Our phone has the hardware capability for haptic feedback but Samsung has not included it as a system setting.So it only works in specific apps that have implemented it.An example is when you long press a shortcut in the app drawer or homescreen.

Love my note. Typing this on our. But I want a keyboard that I can type continously on.

I like SwiftKey.
I used the trial of SwiftKey for a bit and enjoyed it enough to buy it. I like to make the keyboard quite small and undock it and use my finger or the spen to swype my words out. I can get pretty quick sometimes. The stock one wasn't too bad, if I remember correctly, but while using the small, undocked version there was an annoying lag when summoning it after selecting a text field. Another I liked was the Multiling keyboard. I think that's what it was called.
Hands down Swift key. I can type with my eyes closed on this. Tablet version works great.

I own three keyboards, Swiftkey, Thumb and Swype.
On the Note, I use Swiftkey in split mode (landscape). It works good for me. Not perfect, but good.
It's predictions are very good. But in split landscape mode, it only offers two suggestions at any given time even with all the space available. It would be perfect if it allowed a bit more customization and handled incorrect predictions better. The keyboard on the Palm Pre and the HP Touchpad had better correction feature where if you hit backspace, it would revert back to the word you typed and not the prediction. Thumb keyboard also does that, but Swiftkey does not. I don't understand why since it is so logical. Swiftkey has a number of sizing options and I find it to be the best fit on the Note of all the ones I've tried.
Thumb allows for a lot of customization down to customizing the alternate keys on long presses and long press timing. Swiftkey allows for customization fo long press timing, but not the long press alternate keys. With all the space available in split landscape mode, Swiftkey allows you to place a numerical keypad in the center, but stupidly, not cursor keys, even with all the space. It has cursor keys on the number/symbol page, but it could easily fit them on the main page in split landscape mode. Thumb allows many other keys in what would be the otherwise empty space in split mode, including cursor keys. Also, none allow for a dedicated 5th numerical row like the Palm Pre and HP Touchpad layout, although the Thumb keyboard does allow for a 5th row of custom keys where you could make them numbers, I suppose. But I find the predictions on Thumb to be inferior to Swiftkey by a long shot and none of the themes, sizing and layouts really work for me as well as Swiftkey.
The Swype keyboard just doesn't work well in Landscape mode. The keys are too small and there is no provision for resizing them. So that's just out as an option.
You're best off downloading the free versions and toying around to see what you prefer. But I would try Swiftkey and maybe Thumb.
Multiling O keyboard.

I started using SwiftKey in mini mode undocked. It goes under my right thumb and I swype one hand like a phone. Not perfect but it works

I like Flseky. It is elegant and after you get used to type with it, It is really Fast.

SlideIt and SwiftKey.

I have Kii on all my device. I like the fact that it can be configured different for portrait and landscape. Like in landscape I don't like the keyboard the full width, I type with one finger so full width is a stretch. I put a 25% margin on the left & 5% on the right. Can have a number row on top or nav arrows on the bottom. Will also do swipe. The predictions aren't as good as Swiftkey but still okay. Themes, lots of configuration, split for thumb typing, themes. You can try the premium features for hour then they reset.
