I love my Xperia. I installed the haptic feedback for the touch screen (which really helps alot) but to make my Xperia 100% it would be great if someone could tell me what I need to change in the registry to my make each key on my keyboard vibrate when I press it since the keys dont move much when pressed and therefore I always need to check whether what I pressed shows up.
I know there was a registry entry that could be done for the MDA Vario years back but i cant find that thread anymore.
Someone... please let me know how or a small app would be even better. Thanks everyone!

How you do that? I mean to install haptic feedback on xperia?
if you install "fingerboard 2.0" you get haptic feedback. much better keyboard than the standard one too...
Haptic feedback on our xperias keyboard is quite a good idea i look forward to seeing the outcome of this thread
I don't mean to sound negative, as different people have different requirements...
But, the whole point of haptic feedback with on screen keyboards is to create the illusion of a normal hardware keyboard which by default gives feedback when a key is pressed.
Why someone would want haptic feedback on haptic feedback is beyond me.
Haptic keyboard
What I mean is, when using the physical keyboard (the actual keys not the touch screen keyboard) I would like a small vibration with each key pressed. That is clear enough to understand i think

NO Lolz.
This is not haptic. This is vibrating hardware keyboard. Haptic is when the whole phone vibrates if you press the ON-SCREEN keyboard.

Haptic (wrt phone/pda) is just a word for the response given when something is pressed, regardless of what it is. He's perfectly right calling it a haptic keyboard. "Haptic" is not a word that's limited to describing keyboard/touch/stylus responses on a touchscreen (that said a keyboard is haptic by it's very nature, as the keys click, but it's pretty obvois what he's asking for, and while not to everyone's tastes, not the worst idea I've heard in a long time).
Vibrating keyboard
well, instead of writing back and forth about the name, does anyone have an idea how this can be done, the vibrating of the hardware keyboard when each letter is pressed = haptic feedback? THANKS!

Generally, yes. In the borders of his question, no.
The fact is out X1 keyboards they offer very little feedback from the buttons aka not a big CLICK as such.
And sometimes with people having multiple presses of the key problems etc im sure vibration when typing on keyboard feature can help this
you dudes know about a program that can make a click sound when pressing HW button like fingerkeyboard ? that would also be nice
^^ use built-in software, go to sounds and notifications and check hardware buttons (either select soft or loud) in the sounds tab

omggggggg thx
Does anyone have a tip on how to have the hardware keys vibrate when being pressed? Thanks!
Anyone have any suggestons? Amazing how some people are quick to point out proper terminology and write again and again regarding haptic or not haptic but no one is able to come up with a suggestion to the actual question
like some1 allready stated, "finger keyboard" ?
best touchkeyboard imo anyway

Those two softkeys on the sliding keyboard... they're always getting hit when I'm typing, often sending half-finished messages and attempting to call/delete contacts.
Is there ANY way to disable them?
I wouldnt go as far as to disable them, but I do find them quite frustrating at times, HTC should've seperated the softkeys from the rest of the keyboard.
I would also like to know if this is possible. They are annoying .
I would imagine that if you would disable them you would have to disable the softkeys period. But i would like that them to get out of my way too
tiny screwdriver + leverage?
lol, might need a knife to cut the keyboard rubber too
wonder if the could be remapped rather then disabled
you know duprade's herald/wing keyboard fix? Maybe you could use that software to remap the softkeys, assuming it allows you to do so.
I think the hardware keyboard soft keys and the external softkeys are the same input... so if you tried to change them, it would disable/change both sets.
Use AEButton Plus to disable the keyboard SoftKeys
AEButton Plus will do this. I have mine set so that a single press does nothing, but a double press does what it would normally do. Onscreen buttons still work as expected. Works great.

Hahahaha. Yeah, I freaking hate that.
Guys,
There's something bugging me.
Is it somehow possible to define the keyboard sensitivity, mainly the delay before a key is repeated?
I keep having keys typed several time when using the keyboard and it's bloody irritating...
Help greatly appreciated
Matt
Yes, it is possible. Under settings go into "Buttons" and than to the "Up/Down Control tab. If I'm not mistaken the Delay and repeat rate you define there is goes not just for the up/down buttons but for the whole hardware keyboard as well. HTH.
There is a reg edit. HKCU/Control Panel/Kebd/InitialDelay.
I set mine to 300. Found this today on another thread...
thanks a lot
i'll try that
i've been searching for an application that can make my phone vibrate on screen taps. i would try to use this instead of sound on screen tap because it looks like a good idea. so i'm very interested in this kind of app and i hope i'm not the only one.
during my search i found something called VibeTonz, but this does not come as a program, it is a feature built in some devices.
here on xda i found some threads about dialpad vibration and this thing works, so i think it would be possible to create something that would make phone vibrate on any screen tap.
P.S.: sorry for my bad english. hope you could at least understand what i'm talking about
yeah it would be cool to see something like this, the dial pad vib program is freaking sweet.
hmm.. yeaa that would be kinda cool. btw.. ur english is perfect
you mean something like this:
Phone pad vibrate when tapping numbers?
as i mentioned above, there is a cab like this on xda forums, but it only works for dialpad. what i need is something that could make the phone to vibrate on ANY screen tap. what i don't like about dialpad vibrate cab is that it makes the phone vibrate just as long as you keep dialpad number pressed,so if you just tap the number too fast there is no vibe or it is too short and so it's not suitable for fast typing. the thing that i would like to see would vibrate for fixed time (let's say 100ms) on any screen tap (including dialpad tap). i think this kind of touch screen response would make the use of it much easier and faster. but i can't know that because i didn't try this.
maybe if someone has a VibeTonz enabled phone could tell as about experiences with this kind of response?
anyway, thanks for your efforts and i'm glad to see there are some people supporting this thread and some interested in this.
I am searching for this app to, it would give great fingerpushing feedback. It will feel like pushing "real" buttons on your screen
About the vibrating dialpad: i thought i read somewhere that you can alter it so that it will vibrate instantly.
I second that!
I'd love this kind of app. My kaiser has particularly flat keys on the keyboard and there's no travel to them. So I stumbled across the dialer vibrate cab while looking for a solution. I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to mod that cab's registry entries to make it vibrate on any keypress, such as while typing... but so far no luck. A touchscreen vibrate cab would be awesome too. I think any program that is possibly developed should include settings for both the touchscreen and the keyboard.
Someone with a little spare time want to work on these ideas? Pretty please?
Bump!
I didn't have time to try this, but if you are interested here is the link:

good question. I have that problem too.
well... not a real solution, but I've noticed, that if You write on hw keys with screen tilted, then it's less easy to press those two keys, as Your thumbs will have less space above them.

Got to the same pratical conclusion.
I'd be happy if someone got a workaround about this .

It true that when tilted that they are press less easy, still sometimes i press those keys. i almost always tilt the screen whem typing with hw keys.
Still it would be nice if there is an sollution for this.
AE Button Plus
I use AE Button Plus with no action assigned to a single press of the hardware soft keys (in other words, it ignores a single press of those keys). It affects the buttons in both portrait and landscape modes. If I need to access the single-press soft key function then I just need to press on the screen. I also have the single-press function mapped to a double-press of the hardware soft keys as an alternative.
lol....
And I was thinking I was the only one with that problem...
And got the same soluttion than you guys... tiliting the screens is not so easy to press those buttons
On my previous WinMo device there was an app that made the phone vibrate every time the screen was touched. It gave a nice tactile feedback when using the device.
Is there a similar app for android?
The app SpareParts has a setting called Haptic Feedback. I turned it on and restarted my phone (might not be needed) and when typing on the keyboard it vibrates and when pressing certain buttons it does also (like holding the end key). So it doesnt do EVERY key press, but some of them.
SpareParts is included in many of the ROMs on the site, but im not sure where to get it as a apk.
Spare Parts is also available on market.

Spare Parts gives only an uncustomizable and long vibration while pressing the screen.
What i'm looking for is an app that gives you for example 10ms vibration for press and for release, anytime and anywhere, not in just VK
any clues ?

the only vibration you get from SpareParts is long pressing the screen/buttons. it has no effect on the vibration to the keybaord. the keyboard has the option in its own settings.
this is off topic but you know what would better than tactile screen taps? if you could change the way SOUND screen taps. i have a jailbroken iphone and i use the blackberry storm keyboard sounds on my iphone. its very nice and wish i could have that on my g1 being that it is my #1 phone.
This is an awesome idea. I would like to have this also
