Hi folks,
I swear I had this solved once but after a factory reset I can't find a way to do it again:
Settings > Sound > Feedback > Haptic feedback disabled
In fact everything under Feedback is disabled.
Yet when on the home screen I long press an icon in order to move it or delete it a feedback vibration occurs.
Is there another setting for this?
Cheers,
Daniel
Hi
under feedback tab uncheck all the 4 boxes and note you're not in silent mode(vibrating)
then check the issue and report the result.
Goodluck
Thanks a lot,
that's exactly what I did.
Please see attachment.
For some weird reason the vibrating
still happens for long screen touches
(but not for anything else).
In other words, is there a way to completely shut the phone up vibration-wise?
Am not sure about TouchWizz but I think other launchers have the option to disable the long press feedback..sorry can't remember for sure as I've been running ICS for quite some time

Try downloading "Spare parts" app from Google Play and disabling "Haptic feeback" from it...worked for me.
In Settings >> Sound , you've got "Vibration intensity". Pull all sliders all the way to the left and this will get rid of all vibrations (well at least I didn't notice any since I changed that).
I am not sure if it disables the "battery charged" vibration though, and don't want to risk being woken up at night to check

Hi,
Since the Diamond does not ring or vibrate when reveiving a new email while beeing in sleepmode i want to know if there is a way to completely disable sleepmode and just turn off the screen instead.
Try search... sms wakeup is one of the fixes you need.
I allready did that, and its working. But the diamond still doesnt wake up when i receive a new email. (I am using Windows Live pushmail)

Since im not using mail on my phone i dont really know, but im sure ive seen it somewhere.
Check link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=14379943
Sorry, maybe i am stupid, but i read all those threads allready and i couldn't find a solution. So if there is one, please give me the direct link. Thanks!
Don't know if this will help, but give it a shot anyways - since there doesn't seem to be a solution readily available.
Start-Settings-System
tap on Power
Go to Advanced Tab
Uncheck - 'turn off device if not used for. '
If that doesn't work - 'try unchecking turn off backlight' as well (doubt that's a really smart idea.. but what the hell)
Do let us know if this helps you out.
Logically speaking - that should work, but then - we are talking about Windows here.. logic usually takes a back seat when it comes to windows.
I mean - if it weren't so, then how come a windows mobile phone doesn't alert you when you receive an email!!
**** happens eh.
anyways - thanks to the developers on the forum who are coming out with tweaks and fixes and solutions.
Appreciate it, mate.

It sure helps him, but the battery power will be gone in notime.

HE ASKED FOR IT
Yes that does work of course. But with the screen allways on, the battery sucks. I only want to disable sleep-mode. I still want the device to turn off the screen and backlight and see how much battery it needs.
Device to turn off - means Sleep mode!
Options -> Sounds and Notifications -> Notifications -> Messaging: New e-mail message
Turn vibrate and sound on. Why its disabled as default i dont know.
The screen wont turn on, but it will probobly vibrate and sound.
With the backlight switching off on its own - you should have SOME saving on the battery (hopefully)

To be on the safe side - Check DISPLAY MESSAGE as well.
That should (technically) wake up the phone... right?

It probobly wont, why should everyone ask for sms wakeup in that case?
It still does not wake up with display message on.
When i disable sleepmode by choosing "device to turn off" i have the problem that the display stays on. It does reduce the backlight, but it is still on and eats the battery really fast.

Well, one can always try.
Actually for me - the SMS thing was weird (before applying the tweaks i.e.).
I had enabled Display Message, Sound and Vibrate ..
Now when I tested it - it worked.. but I was surprised that it would work only for CERTAIN service providers!!
now.. when I would get a text message from an MTC number (my provider) it would alert... and vibrate and display the message.
But if I would get a text message from Wataniya (another provider in the country), No alert, No Vibration!!

I have tried that, and every time i restart the phone the box is once again checked automatically?
I want the phone on all the time, since I just have to press the power button to set the phone in sleep mode.
It is very frustrating when chatting over msn and the phone goes to sleep all the time.
Is there a register tweak to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance.
So this app seems amazing! But I cant seem to get it to work right. I am assuming it will work like SPB phone suite where it can silence my phone and turn off all my data during certain hours and then turn everything back on after that time slot is over. It turns on properly and I love that part but it doesnt seem to turn off. Even after the time slot has ended I have to turn my ringer back up and turn on my BT and GPS. Is it supposed to turn those back on for me or am I missing something?

Check your "defaults". The need to be explicitly set otherwise it will not make changes when it doesn’t have an applicable situation.
Hahahaha, much better! Thank you!
locale
does anyone know how to disable a notification about profile change in Locale?
I want to turn the sound on at 6.30 in the morning but don't want to be waken up by the "ding" it makes when default profile is applied.
Remove Notifications from the list of settings for the situation
Got that already! I have to praise the locale support! sent them an email with this question and got the response back. There is also help section when you click menu within locale so i guess i should have read this first!
I misunderstood the notification feature - I thought it was refering to system global notifications like disabling globally vibration if new sms arrives etc.
So thumbs up to locale support! if only other companies were so helpful!
locale not working in background mode
I used power manager, but because i can't buy apps on the market (NL) so i want to try locale, everything is set, but i have to start the program and then it switches to battery / connected status... So if i plug in my phone i want locale will react immediately instead i have to start it (again and again) and when it's open in my foreground it works perfect. But when it's on background it doesn't work... Can't find settings for this... Any suggestions?
This one aspect of my phone has been really bugging me. We don't have the option to disable the automatic locking of our phones. You could enable an infinite screen timeout, but that doesn't really solve the problem as it introduces a new problem (increased drain on the battery due to the display being on the whole time).
It'd be nice if we could control those two settings independently. One is to be able to control screen timeout, the other would be to enable/disable autolocking our phones.
The reason this is useful for someone like me is that I usually leave my phone on the desk when I'm not using it. In my situation the auto-locking is just a huge pain because I'm not worried about accidentally hitting any buttons while the phone is on the desk nor am I worried about security/privacy issues.
Anyone see a need?
I think lockbot gives you an option of how long before the lock screen goes into affect if you'd be willing to use an app for a lock screen...

Well... I'll answer your question... But this won't be helpful (Just a warning )
A need? No.. I honestly don't find it troublesome to swipe my finger across the screen after pressing the trackball (or Power button if you're not rooted/haven't setup Trackball Wake)
So, I don't really see a need. But good luck finding someone to accomplish your request. Just seems like it'd be a fair amount of work, to remedy 1 seconds time... Just my $.02
Try ScreenModeWidget at market, free.
choose awake stay.

Look in the market for "curvefish" he's a developer of widgets and has a lock screen on off widget that will let you turn it off then back on without having to reset the pattern. Hope that helps!
Keyguard disabler on the market. It works for me. I set it after a reboot and it works. It has a option to start on start but I just do it manually with the shortcut.
actually, i've been looking for the same solution as you are looking for! even i find it highly anoying when i keep the fone on my desk and have to sweep the screen each time i want to check it.
ideally, i'm looking for something likr what u get in the 5800.... the screen comes back on (after timning out) when you tap on the screen, unless u lock it explicitly via the hardware button...
neways, u kud try "no luck" which simply disables the lock screen. when the screen times out, pressing the hardware "home' or "lock/unlock" buttons brings the screen back on without having to go thru the unlock procedure...
Cheers,
I've been using touchscreen smartphones since the Omnia came out and never once have i needed a lock screen. I can't for the life of me work out why anyone would need anything more than a screen off/screen on button.
I'm using No Lock from the market now. It has a handy toggle widget/icon for enabling or disabling the lock function. As a bonus it allows screen wake on Trackball and volume buttons.
+1 for No Lock! It's the best way to get around that swipe pain.
Hello everyone, I have experienced this problem quite afew times already. All of the sudden, I would not be able to use the touch screen, and the blue box would appear and keep scrolling to different parts of the screen. I've attached the pictures below. Restarting the phone doesn't solve the problem. I'm not sure how it got back to normal again. Any clues on what is this problem?
I have heard that themes cause some sort of problems, are you using one?
Have you tinkered around with anything in the Development Settings? There is a setting that I'm sure shows you the areas that are being refreshed.

Hello, I'm using a theme currently. Using High_contrast_theme_II. I'll change the theme and see how it goes!
Thanks for your input!

That's the funny thing, I didn't tinker in any settings. It just randomly appears and randomly goes away.
Hi,
@xgsh, it looks like Voice Assistant? https://youtu.be/T-QgE4bT0c0?t=91
Take a look in Settings-> Accessibility-> Vision-> Voice Assistant and see if it's enabled, maybe in the other Voice Assistant settings.

Hello, I think it is something similar. But for my case I am not able to touch anything on the screen at all. It is like a screen freeze, And that blue box keeps scrolling.
Hello everyone, I have found out the issue already. It is under Accessibility > Direct Access. Apparently it is on. So if you have it on, pressing the Vol Up + Power button at the same time causes the issue above to happen.

Just for anyone coming in here looking to solve this as well: it might be the above issue, but also you may have Universal Switch turned on. Reboot your device, press the Home button three times (that should temporarily disable that pesky blue box preventing you from clicking stuff, and then go to Settings > Accessibility >> Dexterity and Interaction >Universal switch and disable it. You're good to go again.
I purchased new A71, it's screen gets on by itself after every one or 2 minute. I checked simply whatever possible. Any ideas?
Never had this issue but did you try tweaking AOD settings?

Already,,, no use.
Now safe mode tried and no screen wakeup.
It means some third party app issue.
I'm trying to figure out which app exactly.
I had this with my wife's phone.... Screen literally cam on everytime the phone was moved.... She has a flip case, which i assumed was the culprit, and i could see the screen pop on even if she moved the phone to one side a little...
I found the answer to our solution in the settings somewhere under advanced features/motion and gestures.... Untick all that lift to wake crap!
Screen stays off now until you press power button or double tap screen...

I tried the same already but problem was still there.
Since once I reboot into safe mode, there w no issue. then started apps one by one in normal mode,,,, now not facing issue. I suspect one or two third party apps. Still not finalised which app exactly as these apps got updated meanwhile.
Any way thanks,,,,
my issue already resolved.
