Same problem here.
Any ideas?

Try a 3rd party keyboard. A lot of them are much better and don't seem to lose their vibration settings.
My two suggestions: Better Keyboard 8 or Smart Keyboard Pro. Either along with the Rapid skin to make it look similar to the stock keyboard, but nicer.

Have you tried downloading any other keyboards if you are using default keyboard? May I suggest using Better Keyboard which is very customizable and from my experience, all keyboards sorta lag on the x10 =_= .

I have tried better keyboard i didnt like it at all. But also a different problem is i have app that should have like a push notification but nothing happens..
1. Xfinity App for my email i have it set to refresh every hour but i have to do it manualy.
anyone know why?

I Was wondering

hey guys, so i was wondering that if i could reduce the vibration when i recieve a txt message..
ive seen it drains alot of battery.. and when it vibrates..it last for about 3-4 seconds and i dont really need that much to know i have a message..
if you guys know about and app or mod to control the lengh of this ..tell me please..i would love to
Thanks would be given
There is not a way i know of that will do this within the software pre se. You could try turning haptic feedback on system-wide and then in your keyboard settings turn it off (I use Swype and it has a check box for "Vibrate on keypress")
But If you use some other messaging app (maybe handcent) you may have better control
I messed with it a long time ago and really never found a solution just some hacky work arounds
Thnx oka...i think hacks should make it but no idea to do it

I know stock messaging it has the standard vibration that lasts for the 3-4 second duration with no altering. I use Handcent that you can customize the vibration to last as long or as little as you want.
Handcent is the way to go. You can customize everything about your notification.
Thank you guys i will try ot...stock messaging drinks my battery in minutes...i did a test

interesting. a few things that i've noticed others having: cant turn off the power saver notification option in settings/apps/power. some are having wifi connectivity issues (possible fix: uncheck DLNA from settings/wifi/advanced). some are having graphic issues with the stock keyboard (possible fixes: 3+ power cycles, rotate from portrait-landscape-portrait, change keyboard type then change it back)
The screen won't come back on (without me hitting power) when pulling the phone away from my face while on a call.

Yeah you are correct. HTC for some reason decided to make you have to pinch the notification to expand it and compress it...
That is no bug.

So the MMS apk in the 1.22 version of ICS did the toggle where if I send a picture while connected to WiFi, the 3g data will kick on briefly while still connected to WiFi, send the pic, then toggle 3g back off. In the 2.13 version and this new 3.15 version, it doesn't do that. Like, ill be connected to WiFi and try sending a pic and the 3g data will not toggle on in the background. I have to manual turn WiFi off, wait for data to toggle on, send the pic, then turn WiFi back on and that's a long annoying process.

When hdmi is plugged in it works, then when you unplug it the phone freezes and have to do a "battery pull"
SENT FROM MY LTEVO
[ANNOYANCE] Missing speech to text (microphone) on keyboards (i know this was probably an intentional design change, but i hate it, why would you remove functionality that worked perfectly, yes i know you can do it via the Now app, but having to jump out of messaging/conversation to go to another app to quickly respond with voice is ridiculous) did anyone else notice it's still in the dialer app for searching contacts though?
[ANNOYANCE] No scrolling wallpaper option (not a big deal because it really doesn't buy you anything. but other launchers give you the option to lock it or wrap it)
[BUG] Proximity sensor wile making calls; when dialing with phone away from face the screen instantly goes dark, won't come back on until power button press.
[BUG] Light sensor; capacitive buttons don't light like they should. If light is dim enough that i can't see them yet bright enough that the phone disagrees i have to cover the sensor with my thumb to trick it into lighting them.
[BUG] Graphical glitches; probably a unique thing, but my battery widget has a button to view desktop (wallpaper) unobstructed, when returning from that the screen now goes wonky/staticky for a second, quite likely the widget though
[BUG] Graphical glitches; in maps i found that zooming in and out on the satellite view caused a bunch of annoying flickers. maybe a localized thing, i wiped cache and dalvik from recovery and that seems to have corrected for now.
[ANNOYANCE] Bookmarks widget can no longer be resized. This is obviously an HTC/Sense thing but it seriously changed the size of the widget on one of my screens and was letting it lay overtop of other widgets and app icons. There's the "Internet" widget that's a smaller size but it seems to never take a break. I use Firefox exclusively for my browser but in my power stats "Internet" was far and away the biggest battery hog on my phone. I must constantly be updating the screenshots of the pages it lists.
Also, the HTC sense input keyboard is all wacky! Doesn't work!

That used to happen to me...now it works. I really don't know what was going on with that...
One bug I'm seeing and idk if it's been mentioned
If you calibrate the keyboard and then use it, there will be some tearing and the keyboard will just look messed up overall
Also, the lockscreen doesn't have it's on set keyboard. So if you set a pin with the default HTC Sense keyboard you're pin lockscreen will use that number keyboard. But if you use SwiftKey, you get that number keyboard.
I don't think I remember ICS being like this

[Q] Anyone having keyboard issues?

My keyboard keeps locking up. Won't respond in any app. The only way it'll work is in landscape. If I power off the phone it'll work again. This happens about every 1-2 days. Anyone else having this issue? Oh I'm using the stock android keyboard if that makes any difference.
No issues here. Check out the 4.2 keyboard.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964663
Only issues I've experienced are of my keyboard occasionally shrinking to about 2/3 normal size. However, i believe this has only happened with the Swype keyboard.

Vibration on Nexus 10

Why did no one warn me about this flipping thing.................'*`+*'!!!!! The Nexus 7 doesn't have this nonsense. Samsung you suck!
Is there a trick to rid myself of it completely (I'm not rooting the device)?
Can you elaborate, please? I understand that you don't want the machine vibration, but when? while you touch the screen, or the keyboard?
In that case just uncheck the vibration option under Settings -> Sound, or under Settings -> Language&Input -> Google keyboard settings.

Hi thanks I don't want it ever, I tried what you said last night (after googling it) but it didn't help. I discovered with more googling that me having everything permanently on mute was causing it to activate vibrate mode automatically. So I turned my volume to zero then up a notch or two (as was recommended). That cuts it out mostly but when I move app icons around for example it still bloody buzzes at me. Makes me jump every time.

Hey don't be like that man. We are only trying to help.
Go to settings, sound and disable vibrate on touch. This should disable the keyboard.
Download something like Widgetsoid and there should be a toggle that allows you to disable system wide vibrate.
Some apps may override it, like SwiftKey so you may need to disable it for some apps manually

I can assure you that with the following settings there are no vibrations at all (Nexus 10 stock). Maybe it is caused by a 3rd-party app?

I'm running stock. I have disabled it in the settings I did that before posting the thread. I've had a Nexus 7 since launch day, so I'm not a complete newbie.
I have only installed the following so far, all from the Google Play shop
Perfect Viewer
Comics (comiXology app)
build a lot 4
Stand O Food 3
As I said it is only happening now when I move an app icon around.

It's a stock launcher "issue"...
You could try Google Now Launcher...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher
... or any other launcher.
It happens to me too using the stock launcher and Nova launcher, and as far as I know there is no way to turn it off. My only recommendation is try apex launcher since it has the option to turn it off.

Before you start making incorrect sweeping statements & accusing people of lying, perhaps get your facts straight next time. Don't try & 'help' me again you're going on ignore.
I personally love the haptic feedback. I wish my 2012 nexus 7 had it. One of my favorite features.

As I mentioned I am not "suffering" from "bad vibrations" using Google Now Launcher (but otherwise completely stock). I didn't consider this to be the reason but who would have? At least I took some time investigating and finally realized why I am not experiencing this "issue" while others do and even offered a solution for those who are annoyed: Install Google Now Launcher (or any other launcher, though I don't know which one does "solve" that too)
It saddens me that some people get so offensive over nothing...
Wow, people complain about everything. Complaining about Samsung for adding a feature?:banghead:

For some of us, haptic feedback is not a "feature" it's an annoyance. At least give us the option to turn it off. It is the only reason why I switched from Nova to Apex on my Nexus 10.
