Haptic Feedback - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've searched for this throughout this forum and haven't been able to find anything...
I recently seemed to have lost haptic feedback on my Evo. I made sure that it's enabled and sometimes i would feel the feedback but sometimes not. when I press the capacitive buttons, i get hardly any feedback from them. When I tap and hold on the screen (for inserting new apps icons or removing them or adding or removing widgets) i get no feedback at all. However, I know the motor is working because my phone does vibrate when I test it with the HTC Function Test Program. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm using Myn's 2.2 RLS5 and I know it has haptic feedback because it was working up until 2 days ago. I can hear the motor is trying to spin up but can't quite do it but mainly for the short feedbacks such as, typing or pressing the capacitive buttons. Thanks.

Thank you.
I don't have that, or anything, under accessibility settings.
AFAIK, only CyanogenMod (and CM-based ROMs) will carry that setting. I haven't seen it in Sense or Ruby.
THANK YOU!!!
I too enabled this feature thinking it would be really nice. But I soon found that if you put the phone on speaker and have one of those auto-select prompts when you call a company and the screen times out you are basically screwed because you can't get the screen to come back. Pushing the power button ends the call.
I was running a Cognition Rom.
Adjusting your volume didn't wake your screen?

[Q] Increase vibration for haptic feedback?

I have been searching around for this for a while but I couldn't find a very clear answer to this.
The haptic feedback vibration on the phone, is soo soft, at first I thought it didn't vibrate when I was typing, but later I really felt it very lightly. Yhe vibration is very light in general imo, but it's acceptable, but with haptic feedback this is just too light lol.
Now the straight question: Is there a way to increase the vibration for haptic feedback?
I have already tried Kickback, and I like that vibration level, but it works on anything except the keyboard >.> Tried it with and without the system default haptic feedback options on and off.
I haven't seen an option. I miss a lot of calls when my phone is on vibrate. They probably kept it low to give gamers more battery time.
with the vibration thing, you know personally i dont use haptic feedback as i believe the feature will only add to the processes already eating the battery.. with your statments i presume you only want the feedback or vibrations when typing. you might as well try Smart Keyboard Pro from the market. It has a vibration feature for every key you press and the vibration length is adjustable too! at least the vibration feature will only work when typing and not all the time when you do something else with your phone aside from typing. saves battery!
No, he/she wants the vibrating to be stronger so he/she can feel it.
He is referring to when he is typing on the keyboard. Not when someone calls. Grab swift key keyboard, stock does not let you alter the level of. Vibratiob

Thanks for the replies everyone! I'm gonna fool a bit around with keyboards from the market
Wasn't referring to your post. It was meant for the person above yours. Should you have quoted and not be lazy.

[Q] Screen too sensitive

My Acer A100 (love it to pieces) but my screen is a little too sensitive. On my A500, under Settings/Screen there is a option to change but I haven't found anything on my A100.
Any suggestion?
What do you mean it is too sensitive? I didn't know that was possible.
I find it too sensitive too. Always double typing letters with thumb keyboard and unintentionally clicking when trying to scroll. I didn't realize there was an option to adjust on my A500, but i haven't found a need for it on that tab. I've looked for apps that might help, but no luck.
I agree that the unintentional entry into threads while scrolling seems to be a reault of over sensitivity. Starts to become rather annoying after a while.

Glad to see I am not the only one. I suppose that does not offer a solution on how to make it tolerable.

One thousannd dtimes this. I could type on my trannsformmer with thumb keyboard like a champ. With tthis thing, I have to type soo painstakingly to avoid ddouble keypresses.
The above was not exaggerated for dramatic effect.
You can put a screen protector on it. That will reduce the sensitivity.
THAT. Is a good idea.
I have put a screen protector; also as suggested by Acer tech support, removed the sticker from the side. Still too sensitive for my liking.
I also find too sensitive and have a screen protector installed. I also find it hard to click on links. If there are two links close by I always click on the one that I did not intend to. Seems its a little off. Anyone have this problem?

I have had my a100 for 2 months now. I really like it but what I find irritating is the inconsistent screen response. Most of the time it is too sensitive that it toes a letter multiple times or the back button will go back more than one screen. Other times I have to hit a link or a button a couple of times before it responds. Sometimes I hit a link and a link adjacent to it will be launched. I also have problems with scrolling a it will launch a link instead of scrolling. I already have a screen protector but it did not improve things.
I was just about to start a new thread for this, but it seems like a common problem with the A100.
Scrolling through my dropbox is nearly IMPOSSIBLE, every time I try to scroll, it clicks a link.
Also, trying to long press a item can be difficult, because it will treat it like a click instead of a long press.
I was having the same problem too!
I found out that after disabling SwiftKey X tablet keyboard returned the Acer to a great state of sensitivity level.
This might be the same thing, but with another keyboard or something.
I was constantly pressing the wrong icons and doing unintentional actions while scrolling!!!
I hope this could help.
how did you disable it the swift keyboard?
Sent from my A100 using xda premium
jahciple,
You either uninstall it from My App in Market App. Or uncheck the keyboard from input methods.
I hope that works for you!
Please post your feedback and share it with us!
nm i thought you were referring to the stock keyboard.

I think the problem when scrolling and it accidentally selecting is because the touch screen loses connection with your finger and thinks you lifted it off and then touched it again. If you download multitouch vis and test touch sensitivity by running your finger from side to side that the colored dots will flicker or sometimes disappear as if you lifted yout finger off. So I think its not because its too sensitive but less sensitive. This happens more if you just lay the tablet down on a surface so only your finger is touching it. If you touch the bezel with your other hand it as you touch test with the other then it will respond better. This could possibly be grounding issue.

Definitely having this problem on mine. This is really the only issue I have with the device, and it's quite frustrating!
Same here. Sometimes when I'm scrolling on the home screen it either scrolls backwards or scroll two pages over (skipping one page). Anyone else have the issue? As for the other issues (clicking links while scrolling) I experience those too. I really love the device too. I was gonna get the Nook Tablet but I gott this for cheaper and it's just as good if not better.

i think we need to bring this up to acers attention. Im sure its just a matter of software update. When the original evo 4g came out it had touch screen issue where it wouldnt respond correctly unless your touching the device with your other hand. It was fixed via software update. Same thing happens with this device. Again download multitouch vis and you can test touch sesitivity while laying it on a surface while running one finger all across the screen you will see it flicker as if its not recognizing complete touch. But once you hold the device up with the other hand while touching the screen with the other then it doesnt flicker.

Need Help phone won't vibrate

Hey folks Ive tried everything with this phone but just can't get it to vibrate and I really can't recall it ever vibrating. I've seen in other forums that others are having the same problems but there didn't seem to be a solid fix. The phone will not vibrate during calls or notifications of any kind when I have it set to always vibrate or vibrate during silence mode. I've gone to all of my messaging applications as well to select the vibrate function and it still doesn't work. Need help if possible.
Thanks,
go to sound settings and check vibration intensity...might be off??

Doesn't work, I have the intesity all the way actually. Also when I move the sensitivity levels the phone doesn't give any feedback. I think the vibrate engine may be blown.
Are you on power saving mode?

[Q] How to answer call with button?

Hi guys,
an annoying drawback of this phone is that when the screen is only a little bit wet (after being in a pocket), the screen stops functioning. You then have to turn off the screen, clean it with your cloth, and then it will work again.
So when I am receiving a phone call, I often cannot use the swipe answering feature, because the screen simply doesn't react to my touches. This leaves me just ignoring the person calling. :laugh:
I have tried some apps that are supposed to enable to answer by home button, but none of the apps worked.
Very grateful to any solutions!
