Haptic feedback broken? - Sony Tablet S

Hey all.
I've recently noticed that none of my keyboards vibrate when I press a key. Along with that, the stock Sony KB doesn't seem to have the option to turn it on/off in the settings.
Did Sony disable vibration in the 3.2.1 update or is my Tablet borked?

No replies?
Could someone at least test their keyboard vibration and say if it works or not?

Mine doesnt work but i cant be sure it ever has.

Mine doesn't vibrate either, As far as I remember I don't think it ever did.

It's just not build into the tablet.

Thanks for the replies.
I could have sworn the keyboard used to vibrate but I guess not. Puts my mind at ease

It has never and never will vibrate.

Guys I distinctly recall haptic working on the demo tablet in Singapore (Bugis Junction Sony Store). It's not working on my tab currently. I did however update the firmware immediately after purchase sony that could be it?...

no vibration here. I do not thonk there is oneā€¦

haptic feedback definitely felt first and last time

I posted this issue on the Sony community thread today:
"Vibration mode on the non-3G Sony Tablet S (SGPT111GB)
Topic started on 10-Jan-2012 23:27
in Sony Tablet
I discovered something today, Sony Tablet S (SGPT111GB) which is a non-3G version has the ability to vibrate in applications that can use this option.
I was looking for a alternative to the built-in TV remote control app and I came across "BlueIR" in the android market (free). unfortunately it's not suitable for me in the UK but whilst playing with the pre-installed virgin media cable box profile low and behold each time I pressed any of the software remote control buttons, anywhere onscreen, I received a vibrate/haptic feedback confirmation which I checked in the options was available.
The strange thing is though once I played with it a little more vibration/haptic stopped and I couldn't get it back again or test it in the settings options.
Anyway just wanted to share and to see if anybody else got this functionality working in their Sony tablet S, non-3G obviously, as I was unaware this tablet had this functionality?"
Still early days for an answer on the Sony community forum but as I'm waiting to see if anybody else is having this issue so when I read this post on this thread I thought it best that chime in here.
UPDATE:
having slept on this issue I decided to uninstall "BlueIR" and reinstall it to see if I could replicate the haptic feedback but had no success so make of that what you will but I definitely have the functionality on the first install so we need to see if there is a haptic motor in the hardware of any of the Sony Tablet S models.
I'll have a check on Google for any of the tear down videos and report back.
UPDATE#2:
I've sent a e-mail to the developer of "BlueIR universal remote for android" to see if he can shed any light on this functionality which I of course will update here if and when I get a reply.

trouble finding "teardown reviews" that don't repeat Tech Republic
Most of the blogging sites Google brings up seem to be just repeating the teardown on Tech Republic.com website so I've left a question with "Bill Detwiler , Head Technology Editor of TechRepublic", but as it was September 2011 when the teardown was done we will have to see if the article is still being monitored.
Anyone else got suggestions?

Phone Answering UI

Is it possible to change the UI for when the phone is ringing?
I've been searching all morning and have noticed I'm the only one it
seems who has trouble answering the phone, the slide to answer scheme
is horrible and I hang up on people all the time.
Can't seem to find an app or launcher to change the default setup.
Thanks for any help given.
-Muddy
Yeah, I am kind of with you. It's not the best scheme.
But I haven't found anything else available either.
I believe you could try an alternate phone apk in maybe the nexus forums? I'm not sure if it's a good idea yet to switch over and lose the stock phone dialer yet. Guess I'm just scared of doing anything to my phone until all of the BIG bugs with customizing are worked out.
Agreed, guess I'll keep my bluetooth headset nearby to answer with until we find a replacement. :-/
How are you accidently hanging up on people? Don't you just need to swipe left or right?

Xperia P video problem

Hi guys a found a very annoying problem when i upgraded my devices (Xperia P) firmware to Android 4.1.2 Build number: 6.2.A.1.00
The problem is that when i play embbeded videos and go full screen there was no control bar anymore. The pause/play and the seek
bar was also removed. Before the update everything worked perfectly then. I have tried using different browsers like chrome dolphin and even
the stock
How to produce issue
1. Go to a site (any site even Youtube!) with a video
2. hit the fullscreen button
There was this guy who reported it to sony but he also did not get any answers ( Sony said that it was the websites fault). talk.sonymobile.com/thread/143065?tstart=0 These are the pics from him:

Hey, have you found any fix for it? I've always thought it was Opera's fault, lol!

Sound Notifications - how to?

Hi,
I have waited until the 1.4 update so that the Speaker would be activated. This now works very well for the phone and media playback, but I cannot find a way to enable sound notifications (the vibration is so low as to be almost not present). I asked ASUS technical support and got this reply:
"My name is Matthew and I will try my best to assist you issue.
Please feel free to rate our service according to the solution provided in the questionnaire that will be sent to you shortly after our reply to your inquiry.
Concerning your message about the ASUS Zenwatch 2 (WI501Q):
In this case what I can recommend is that you check the top swipe menu in Intreruptions, if it has the intreruptions stopped or if you can activate them, also to check the settings of the device to check if you can activate audible allerts. Also to check in the manual of the phone for more help with teh settings of the Zebwatch."
This was not much help, so when I asked for clarification, got this even more useless response:
"In this case if you are no longer able to find this setting and there is no option for the allerts, it is likely that the Android update disabled this option. Unfortunately there is no option of rolling back the Android updates from you Zenwatch."
They have no responded further.
Can anyone help with this as I could easily have missed a setting?
Thanks, Richard
There is no way to have sounds for notifications for now.

I recommend just installing a third party launcher instead. I too found no easy way to remove it.
it's a fixed position widget starting from Android 8
sadly the only way to remove it is third party launcher ...
I had this problem too. Like said above, the problem is solved immediatly with a third launcher. I've taken Nova Launcher and it works perfectly.
Otherwise, if you don't want to install another launcher, you can try this method : https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
For a complete lists of your package, you can use the app : "App Inspector" on the playstore.
I did this for all google app. For the search bar, it didn't work fully but it was better than without this tip. I read that, for some people, it worked fully.
Hope you will succeed to remove it!

Happy that it worked for you too!
There is no special topic about this phone, does it work well for you?
I have it since last october ,it works pretty good! I would like to root it but I don't find a safe way to do it. I found some tip on german or russian forum but I don't speak those langages and the google trad is very approximative...
Do you find something to root it safely? ANd does this phone great for you?

I saw some guides but I didnt try to root this phone because I dont have a need for it, especially since the phone is already stock Android 9 where you can simply use adblocking DNS from within the Network settings.
Im generally satisfied with it, but proximity and finger sensors tend to misbehave sometimes, maybe its too sensitive to dust or dirt, I dont know.
My phone has V11 firmware, no updates available through the update manager, but there should be V13 available.

yeah it's true that you can replace a lot of root's features with third app's with this phone but it will be cool for me to have full access for more fun! Like totaly uninstall some apps useless for me, more customisation etc etc...
But it's really cool like it is now!
With mine : I don't have trouble witj proximity sensors but fingers sensors react weirdly, indeed. I think your hypothesis is the answer : it's too sensitive to dust and dirt.
The light sensor is a little bit weird too, but I think it's due to an android feature : user'shabits learning. Weird at the beginning, but works good after.
In my case, I have the V13 firmware (install directly via Cubot's website). I don't think it will be more update later...
One question : Do you know if this phone works well in USA? I see that it has some US's band so I think so , but I would like a confirmation
I received message from Cubot support that there are no significant or important changes in V13, so I'll leave it at that.
I also noticed phones behavior and sensitivity of sensors has changed over time, maybe it's that habit learning you mentioned..
I'm in Europe, so I can't say if it works in US. Shouldn't be too hard to find out.
I'm generally satisfied with this phone, as I tend to drop it a lot (relatively speaking) and it holds together well, and the software support+performance is satisfactory as well.
@urpi_ > Thanks for the feedback Happy to share with a Quest's owner, there aren't many
Like you, I've dropped it sometimes and the shakeproof it's real! I haven't test yet the waterproof. I will do it this summer
In very good points, I found GPS, Wifi and bluetooth respond very quick and well!
For the GPS, even in a remote location, the Quest fixes very quick
And the blutooth works very well with my earplug, even in running.
For the price, it's a very good smartphone, I'm happy with it too
Since when do you have this phone? I have it for 5 months nearly.

That's one of the reasons I would like to root it. Like you, this functionnality annoys me, although this button is very usefull . It's too bad that we can't configure it like we want and with a root, it would be possible.
For now on, I don't find a tip for changing this long press function. Maybe someone will read this thread and will have an solution
If I found something , I will share it here

Yeah, I have used Key Mapper ( https://github.com/sds100/KeyMapper ) to change normal press (no root required) but I haven't found a way how change long-press behavior. Perhaps it's possible with Key Mapper too, and I just didnt find it?? Maybe.
@urpi_ > Thank you for the share, I will try it and search too if we can do something for long press configuration!
But for the normal press, you can already choose any application in settings. So, what does keymapper moreover?
Otherwise, about the fingerprint sensor:
I re-saved my fingerprints but differently :
Without perfectly clean up the sensor, like "out in the pocket" 's mode ( ) and with the "soft" part of the finger.
Before I saved it with the very extremity of the finger. This time, I used this "soft" part (a little bit under the top extremity of the finger) and with the finger kept flat.
It works pretty better now! Maybe it could make it work better for you too
Im pretty satisfied with the fingerprint sensor now, but yeah it can be probably fine-tuned to work better with this phone, like you said.
You can choose any application for normal (side-key) press, but I wanted to map it to something other than applications.
I used KeyMapper to make it a Pause/Play key for media.

So I tried this app and I think I found for the long press mode.
When you are on the window for creating a new macro, clik on "more" and then choose "long press"
After,you click on "record trigger" and push the button you want to configure, then choose the action you want.
I tried for launching an app, it worked well
But I tried for togglethe torch and it crashed the app. ANd then, the app didn't work at all, I had to reinstalled it
Hope it will help you
By the way, can you tell me what does "Data protection" setting do exactly? I see it under Security & location - Advanced menu.
I know it asks for a security entry pattern, but what for? Phone is supposed to be encrypted by default.
Yeah good question! I wonder too and I never enter a pattern for this. I think it is an android protection by default, but there are another protection too. By the way, I think there is too much protection
Other subject : I had a security upate nearly by september, I found the fingerprint and thbe camera respond much better. DO you feel that way too?

No update available for my phone. Still at February security update from 2019.
Strange, maybe you should visit the official website? If you do this, be careful : I've done the update via this way because the direct OTA way didn"t work. If the OTA's way is just an update; via the official website, it's a total reset, so, backup before doing this way

[Question] How to pack a rom and flash for smart display

Hi guys. Not sure if I'm in the right sub but I'm desperate for help.
I've had a Lenovo smart display 8 and it was working okay before. I did not use it for some time until I moved back to my country lately.
I tried to set it up and it seemed to update to the latest firmware. Voice works but I noticed that the screen isn't responsive. Thinking that something was wrong, I tried to reboot the device but it didn't get any better, so I tried resetting by holding +/- buttons. It went through the setup process again but now at the final step, it won't go any further. It looks like a bug that has disabled the touch screen imo. I've searched and found a lot of people having the same issue with not just lenovo but also nest hub. Do anyone have an idea how we can flash an older firmware to fix this?? (I'm not in the US btw, so I can't send it to service center. And the device isn't distributed in my country so I doubt whether local support could help. I don't want it to become a paperweight) It gets even more frustrating that the device is connected to wifi network and can receive audio cast, even youtube cast but the screen will only show Almost done! Finish setup.
I've tried to collect resources across the internet. There is open-source from lenovo website. File in tar.gz and I don't know how to compile it into an img file for flashing. There is another thread when someone posted a system dump in another thread, but it's not active. I wonder which one to use and further steps to make it work. Can anyone with expertise help me, please??
This is from Lenovo site

Smart Display System Dump or APK
Hey, guys - I've been scouring everywhere whether anyone has been able to perform a system dump of a Smart Display device. Since the Home Hub is using Cast as its method of being display I'm almost positive it won't be able to be engineered on...
