I've updated to KK and haptic feedback does not work. Haptic feedback is checked, vibration intensity for haptic feedback is all the way up, and power saving is NOT on. I left the battery out for 10 minutes and put it back in. Nothing. Any ideas? Thanks.
Have you tried a factory reset? If that doesn't work, take it back to AT&T and exchange it.
Make sure you dont have turned off under your keyboard settings. You can have it ON in system settings but the keyboard settings will override that if you turn it off. I'm using Swiftkey and thats the case. Not sure about the stock keyboard if thats what you are using.
N/A - See next post.
I might as well give an answer to what I did to fix this. The phone wouldn't vibrate when I was called either. I ordered a vibrator motor that came with a plastic pry tool and I replaced the motor myself. It was really easy. Total cost was $12.00 including shipping. Now I'm a happy camper.

I tried to look if there is a fix on forums but with no sucess.
After a week of having at&t tilt once after using keyboard i slide it back but screen stays horizontal. anyone knows whats that all about?
Soft reset didnt work so far. i think it happend during wall charging when i started sending some messages.
So, after you reset, the phone boots in landscape? Or once you go landscape, you can't switch back? Either way, I think the kaiser uses a magnetic switch to sense the keyboard opening/closing. I don't have a definitive answer, but at least that's a starting point for some good ol' fashioned research.
yea, it doesnt want to go back from landscape. i thought wierd problem like this should be spotted before and i was hoping for a quick fix. phone is to new to have issues like this.
Swurv is right, the kaiser uses a magnetic switch to make the change between landscape and portrait. It sounds like the switch is sticking when you open it. I don't know of any way to fix it, you might have more luck returning it and getting another. Good luck.
It isn't going to actually fix the issue, but you should be able to get around it till you can swap the device : Start --> Settings --> System --> Screen and select the Portrait orientation
Best of luck getting a replacement, hope its smooth sailing.
Got curious about the magnetic switch and figured out where the magnet itself is located- If you have your screen open and tilted all the way forward, the magnet is on the back side of the screen, on the same corner where the front OK button and the messaging button are.

Hey. this actually restored my original settings. It works now just like new!
I switched setting to "portrait". Never touched this option before.
Thanx man. Thnx all you guys for your time.
hi guys
I have Att tilt and since 3 days a go my phone keep turning on by it self. any ideas how to fix this? Thanks.
i'm defnitely sure u need to call in an exorcist. for the time being, pls place the phone within a ring of garlic cloves
It's probably the instant messenger receiving an SMS message with someone signing on/off or you getting a message.
if you are using a case with a magnet in it it will cause it to turn on like if you were sliding it open to fix this download kaiser tweaks and turn off the option to turn on when slide open or keep away from magnet cases

This is indeed the only thing i can imagine is happening. Strong radiowaves can turn on/off devices and even uses them..... Just to give a exemple, I work on a warship and we had a 250KW powercable with some leaks in the isolation. This causes some of the other equipment to power on and even use it while all safeties were still on!
thanks guys for your help. i will try to disable the sliding thing. i hope it works.

My brother wanted to give me his old Wizard holster which closes with a magnet. I told him the magnet might cause my screen to turn on. Sure enough, as soon as the phone got near the holster the screen came on and switched to landscape just as it would if I had flipped out the keyboard.
Guess that's why my Kaiser came with a holster that uses velcro.
This has been driving me nuts since I got my Tilt! The slightest sliding movement of my screen would wake the phone up.
Thanks for the easy fix with the Kaiser Tweak setting!
Hi guys,
I did the Kaiser Tweak setting but still same issue from before. every like 5 to 10 min my phone comes on by itself.
any other sugestions?
now im having the same problem. wtf is going on. no magnets near my phone. it sucks lol
I'm on Cynogen ROM + 2.2 Froyo & enjoying the learning curve of the android. Its a pretty interesting phone. But have some quirks. IS there ANY way to disable the vibration fully? (I need it only when the phone is in silent-mode). For the dailler, the vibrate on soft keys is annoying. I've already turned off Haptic keyboard and "vibrate" set to NEVER ,but still happens. I saw a couple of threads but that did not helpme.
In sound settings, scroll to the bottom and turn off haptic feedback. If you did and you still have it, try a wipe.
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
I really like this phone but there are a couple things that bother me:
1. On iOS, you can set it so that you slide to unlock then enter your passcode. If you hit the sleep/wake button and then hit it again, you slide to unlock but you don't have to put your passcode in for whatever amount of time you set it for (ex: 15 minutes). On Android, you just enter your passcode/pattern and then you can either have it just open without a lock screen for 15 minutes or you have to enter your pattern every time. I had it set to the former, but it kept turning on in my pocket, so I had to set it for the latter. This is really annoying, however, and I'm wondering if there is a way to make it work like iOS (perhaps a lock screen replacement, although I'd much prefer it to look stock and have support for widgets (ie, DashClock).
2. The first Moto X I had had really nice feeling haptic feedback (rumble when you type, etc.). I got it replaced and this new one has terrible haptic feedback. It just feels bad and makes me cringe every time I feel it. Is there a way to alter the haptic feedback? Some root app perhaps? I'd rather not return it again.
Thanks.
If you're only looking to alter the haptic feedback for the keyboard you can go into settings, language and input, click the settings on Google keyboard, scroll to the bottom and click advanced settings, and there should be an option the adjust the vibration duration. I'm not for sure if this is exactly what your looking for our not.

There should also be a setting in security that says 'power button instantly locks' toggle this. I see what you mean. You want the slide to unlock when you dont have to put in the pin. AFIK there is no solution. Others probably know more than I do about this.
Also it turning on in your pocket is a problem not just because of this but it will hurt your battery life. It is probably coming on because you have the shake to turn on the camera. If you turn that off it will probably make it stop.

It's not the shake for camera, because it never shows the camera when I take it out and the screen is on. Even with the security on, I caught it trying to make an emergency call, which indicates that the button is being pressed and then the screen is accepting presses.
Thanks for the haptic feedback tip. I tried it, but it made it incredibly loud, so that's a no go.
