TL;DR : Phone has no haptic feedback or any options for haptic feedback anywhere. I remember it used to have them, don't know what to do about it
I've had my S3 mini for little under a month, and I remember having haptic feedback while typing, unlocking and while pressing stuff, as well as a set of haptic feedback options.
It sort of slipped my mind being used to haptic feedback for a long time, but lately typing hasn't felt right at all on my phone, and it took a friend to notice that my phone has no haptic feedback in most cases. There is no option for it anywhere, either (no option in the default samsung keyboard, no option under Sound settings or Power Saving either). The phone vibrates just fine during calls and has all the vibration options, and there's haptic feedback for a long-press of the middle button that summons the recent app list, but that's pretty much it.
I also disabled power saving mode.
Early on, when I got the phone, I installed both Ultra Keyboard (used it on my old droid and loved it), which for some reason does NOT work at all (app has an unexpected error when I open up the settings, and if I enable it as default keyboard it simply doesn't appear on my phone when it should, as if I don't have a keyboard at all) and SwiftKey 3, which I didn't really like, so I just reverted to the default samsung deal. I have no idea if this is relevant.
Google searches have been very unhelpful.
Am I nuts and does the phone actually have no haptic feedback options? Or is something wrong?
Thanks in advance!
With your keyboard app installed use this program called SELECT INPUT METHOD PRO from Google Play. You can then select your keyboard input. There's a free version to try out first, if you like.

How will that help me? I've lost all haptic functionality on my phone, not just from the keyboard. That and I'm not using any other keyboard than the default one.
As far as I can tell this only provides a shortcut to the input selection option.
I don't see how this is even remotely relevant
Haptic must be there, if u install a battery saver app there's always the option to turn it on/off.

I've installed no battery saver app. I simply do not have options for haptic feedback anywhere anymore.
Just looked on Elixir app and it says Haptic Feedback enabled. Try battery booster put widget on screen and enable haptic in green.

i too used to have the s3 and since i moved on to the s3 mini, i have been missing haptic feedback specially on the menu and back soft keys.
i wish there was an option or an app to restore that function again.
I couldnt find it full stop, not sure if it was there to start with in the stock keyboard, I ended up grabbing "Keyboard from Android 2.3" off of play and using that as that does have Haptic feedback enabled, still not found an option for it for Hard Keys though....
install Elixir 2, open it, select the first icon 'information', scroll down, simply press on 'Audio' and the third option will be 'turn haptic feedback off'
It will disable vibration as you (and I) wanted...although when modifying the home screen/adding or removing widgets it will keep the vibration...
hope this helps
Yep can confirm it works.

So, is there any way to enable haptic feedback?
I already tried Elixir 2 but it does not work.
Using 4.1.1 by the way.
notice that to....after i root it the haptic feedback setting gone...if flash original stock firmware everything seems normal...not a big deal for me actually...
How did u enable haptic feedback in Elixir?. What did u do exactly.

It is not about haptic feedback on the keyboard but on the back/menu softkeys.

Hi guys,
Recently I downloaded apex launcher to try to customize my homescreen. After which I uninstalled the launcher and wanted to use back the default sony xperia launcher but I realised I couldnt open most apps upon first touch, despite restarting my phone several times. Any help on this??

Disable Developer Options and try again maybe a reboot of the device its needed
That fixed my issue, i'm trying to find if the problem is from Window animation scale, animator duration scale or transition animation scale under developer options.
I had this problem before. Its happening because of activating the DEVELOPER OPTIONS! Even after you disable it you still have the problem! You need to restore your phone! And dont activate the dev. Options any more.

No need to restore, you can disable dev options and then go Settings -> Apps -> All -> Xperia home and then clear data that way you resetting only the launcher.

Goodevening,
I have had my Sony Xperia Z for 6 days and it's been great up till this evening.
When I touch to open applications, it doesn't respond and this happens with all apps. However the on-screen buttons and swiping through the app drawer/home screen were still working without problem and if after many tries an app opens, the in-app operation was smooth.So the problem is just in the opening apps from home screens and app drawer.
After a while I've come to notice that the apps only opens when I touch the upper left corner of the icon of the apllication. This is a bit frustrating.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

2 things:
1-you are using a charger not the stock one that came with the phone?
2-you disabled the animations in developer options?

1. No, I am using the stock charger
2. Yeah, I did disable animations. Re-enabling it didn't help neither
1st back track what you did before this started to happen.
-what did you install
-what did you flash
-what settings did you change
etc...
2nd did you do a full wipe of the internal after repairing it with Sony Update Service?
1) backup your files
2) Repair it with Sony Update Service
3) settings > back up and reset > factory data reset
if the problem still remains
flash another FTF file and they can be found here

There is apparently a bug in our phones, did u set no animation scaling in developer options? If u did, revert back to. 5 or 1 and reboot. should fix the issue
Hello,
Xperia SP is having huge display but some portion of it may be used by Back/Menu/Running apps button.How to hide it automatically after we use them ? so we could get full screen in gaming, movie etc..
Thanks..
on movies they are auto hiding... only gaming is problem, but i can live with it.,
Use lmt pie controls, found on xda. The controls pop up with a finger touch then disappear once used. Means you have the use of your whole screen.

Hello there,
I am looking for an app or an xposed module which would aloud my phone to automatically switch on/off preferences toggles when I start/close an application. For example, whenever I need Google Maps, I'd like it to switch the GPS on and switch it off when I leave the app.
As you may have understand I'm looking for some ways to save my battery. Since I switch to cynanogenmod on my xperia Z1 compact, it almost can't make it through the day.
Thanks a lot!
