I might be missing something, but I can't get this thing to vibrate when I swipe to unlock the lock screen. The one thing I liked most about my Note 3 was the haptic feedback and that little revving noise it would make when I unlocked it. I've rebooted, checked again and again in settings to no avail. Is it not working or just not there anymore?

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.
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.
I've had my Turbo for a few days now, and I'm really liking the wave to snooze alarm feature, but today when I waved to snooze, instead of the screen going back off, the phone went to my homescreen, so I had to reach over, grab it and hit the power button, completely defeating the idea of touchless control. The second time it went off I noticed the unlock sound right before the alarm sound, meaning that for some reason the alarm is unlocking the phone. I tried clearing Clock data, toggling lock screen types, and rebooting the phone, but the issue still persists. The same thing happens using the active display notification to snooze. The alarm really shouldn't be unlocking the phone when snoozing, but I haven't changed any setting or installed any new apps since yesterday when it was working fine.
Edit: Factory reset didn't even stop the alarm from unlocking the phone, but I'm 100% positive it did not unlock it the first 3 days I had it.
I exchanged the Turbo for a new one as Motorola recommended, but this one is having the same problem from the get go. Is this not a problem for anybody else?

Does the phone unlock or turn back off? What software version?
I have my lock screen set for fingerprint. If the device is shutdown or restarted, the lockscreen asks for a fingerprint. After that if the power button is pressed to shut off and lock the screen, the next time it is turned on the lockscreen asks for just a swipe. It wont ask for a fingerpring again until the system is restarted again. Anyone else have this problem? Solutions?
You have to go into settings and set the power button to lock device. Or you can change the settings to lock device after a certain period of time.
It's under Lockscreen/Secure Lock Settings

You can also set it to not lock if it's connected to a certain device, like a Bluetooth.
This is a god sent because it's always been a pain to unlock the phone in a car after it's gone to sleep and you are streaming music from it.
Thanks! That was driving me crazy. I knew it was there, but couldn't find it.
I know what you mean! It was confusing the heck out of me in the beginning but then caught on.
How do one wish to switch back to just a simple swipe after choosing fingerprint unlock
The SWIPE option is now greyed out ??

Hi,
Im wondering if there is any option to wake up screen when locked other than using sleep button , i mean something like double tap the screen or touching the finger print sensor...
Thanks
Latter works.
Inset up pick up to wake and face recognition swipe to unlock. So whenever I pick up the phone I see the notifications and can swipe them away without unlocking the phone.
Awesome
