[Q] Adjusting Haptic Feedback for Moto X - Moto X Q&A

Does anyone know how to adjust the haptic feedback for this phone? Sometimes it feels really good and other times it just too overboard. Its almost as if when close to low battery, it feels better and less choppy.

You can adjust the intensity for the keyboard by going into the keyboard settings and hitting advanced. It's the "keypress vibration duration" setting. I have mine set at 6ms, that seems to be the sweet spot. As far as the general haptic feedback is concerned, I just turned it off because it is WAY too powerful. That setting is found in the sounds setting.

I wish there was a way to turn it completely off. Mine has a nasty rattle near top of the phone no matter how I adjust it.

Have you tried setting it to 0 ms.

Interesting, that option is grayed out on my device. I can't change the setting. It's a T-Mobile XT1053.

Vibration(Haptic Feedback)

Does the Nexus 7 have Haptic Feedback (vibration motor)?
Doesn't seem like it. Turning the volume down goes straight to silent mode.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but adjusting the volume to presumably a vibrate mode is different than haptic feedback settings on the keyboard/on screen soft keys.
I'm not running a CM9 rom on my phone at the moment, but I think the haptic feedback settings for the soft keys are in settings/sound and for the keyboard it should be in settings/language and input under settings for android keyboard.
Not sure if Jelly Bean is the same.
I could definitely see google deciding to remove the vibrate option from the os (because really, whats the point in a tablet) but i would assume that it has haptic
It doesn't have a vibration motor - I don't think there are many tablets that do.

I've had my Xoom since day one and it hasn't vibrated once so I don't think so... I haven't missed it either.

[Q] Vibration over the footer Home & Back ?

Hi,
Is it possible to have a vibration over the Home/Back buttons?

Any idea about making the led stronger? I barely can see it when it's dark/night

Screen randomly getting dim

I have auto brightness off, auto adjust screen tone off and brightness set to max. My screen randomly dims and then gets bright again...anyone know what's causing this?
sEnt from thE noTe 3
Hmm is it this adapt display option maybe?
sEnt from thE noTe 3
Same here then I went into my settings to check the brightness (settings, display, brightness) and it said brightness decreased to prevent over heating or something like that ..check it next time you notice it dimming and see if it's the same thing ..pretty annoying

power saver uses the dimming option for low consumption of battery and make sure auto adjust is off in display settings

Power saving isn't on. Adapt display didn't fix it either

I have everything turned off also ..I checked in my settings every time my screen dimmed and every time the same message ..it was driving me nuts for days (still is)
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
I've had this happened to me also.
It seems to be more frequent when I'm using Chrome ( not stock browser ). It suddenly gets dim and then may or may not eventually brighten up again, it's pretty random
Also happens when I'm on the launcher but not as frequent
- Automatic Brightness / Off
- Screen Mode / Professional Photo
- Power saving mode / Off
- Auto adjust screen tone / Off
Is there something else I may be missing?
It happens to me while using the xda app. Annoying as hell. It has the same message as Melissa

Does anyone know if this processor does thermal throttling? That could possibly trigger a power save dim with overheating. If we get root this can be disabled using trickster mod.

The Otimus G Pro had a setting in the hidden menu to disable thermal throttling.

Will do, you as well plz :good:
Thought this was an issue with my phone when I got it from AT&T yesterday. Glad to know it isn't just me. It seems to only have the issue when I am in a low-lite area (at least on mine) but when I am in an area with good lighting and the back light is 75% or more it doesn't dim nearly as much. Would be interested to see what a fix would be for this.

Same for me, it does it in low light obly, with or without power saving enabled. I have the same problem on my galaxy tab 2 (7) and couldn't find a fix yet.

The service mode is brought up by typing *#0011# in the dialer on this phone but aside from that i havent had a chance to mess around in there. I do know that key imput 1 doesnt bring up the main menu anymore.

So I've been having this issue and noticed it like two days ago, and reading all your responses I looked through and noticed I had one of the features that I thought I turned off. Smart Stay says that it starts to turn the screen off when we look away maybe it's a buggy feature (one I never intended to use but it might be the one doing this dimming thing (being one of the first steps to turn off the screen)

[Q] what flashlight app do you use?

droidlight - its all budget all the time but its from Motorola Mobility, so it should be 100% safe to use.
Torch toggle from gravitybox.
Does it make much difference? I am using the Motorola one but I'm wondering why you would ask - do different apps provide a brighter light?
The one I linked above is super simple.open it, the light turns on.open it again, it turns off.easy as could be

That's the Droidlight LED Flashlight, I saw some comments that it will automatically turn off when the screen time is up, do you have the same issue?
No, but motto puts a time limit on the led. I assume it is to protect the led from over heating.

Been using this one since my Driod 1. Lets you use screen or LED and seems to be very lightweight (would have posted the actual link, but I never really posted to XDA... just mainly read. Need to get rid of the stupid post restriction)
I use the flashlight in Power Toggles. I keep a set of toggles on a lock screen widget (WiFi, sound mode, Bluetooth, flashlight, GPS) and the flashlight is one of them.

TeslaLed, you can set a widget with it that automatically turns it on. It also has strobe options I believe. But it also works great with Tasker as it is built in as a plugin or 3rd party options. I exported an app with Tasker App Factory so I can activate it via voice as well.

Vibration Intensity

Is there any way to tone down the intensity of the haptic motor? It's just way too much. Plus it's way to loud...
Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk
Try this
Hi Pure+
I am not sure for the z4, but I know for some of the older models you could just go to Menu - Settings - Sounds. Then under Feedback, press Vibration intensity and select what you like best on the slidebar.
Hope this helps!

This phones vibration is way too intense. It would be great to tone it done, say in the region of a M9/S6/Nexus device. Hell, even the z3 series vibration was a lot better.

i think they use diff vibrator. i believe once root is achieved, the chance is high to mod the intensity.
