Can we reboot the Vibrant without taking out the battery, or clicking, "reboot"?
Hello!
I just remembered how on the G1 I had you pressed, "call button+menu+end button" can we do this on our Vibrants?

Anyone else notice there is no way to turn of the haptic feedback from the keyboard? Everything else can be turned off but not the keyboard

You are correct. I couldn't find it at first. Thx

LMAO!!! Alright everyone who has this as their 1st HTC and or Android phone raise your hand.
I'm just messing with everyone so don't get mad. I'm sure it's just the excitment of 3 months of waiting and now finally having this thing in our hands that has everyone flustered. Carry on.
No on the first EVO wasn't the whole thing controlled by the main one under sound? Maybe not but whatever tis funny

You need to hold the back soft key for a couple of seconds.

Lol this it isn't the home button that brings up multitasking.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Holding down the home button brings up the recent apps. Holding the back button down brings up the "Multi-window" bar. If you don't see it, make sure you have multi-window turned on in settings or in the widgets in the notification bar. I think its one of the furthest widgets on the right (scroll).
Ok i guess i should use different words when i push the home button down sometimes it will stop bringing up the "recent apps" and i have to restart the phone for it to start working again

Exactly, the OP asked for the multitasking window feature, which is activated holding the back soft key that's located to the right of the home key.
I am stock

I see the OP asked for assistance regarding something completely different from what they wanted.
Sorry for the confusion i used to call it muti tasking on my old phone i guess since its a multi window feature on this phone some can get confused

Try going into Settings-->Application Manager-->scrolling over to the ALL tab, and clearing the cache and/or data for the TouchWiz Home. If that fails to resolve your issue, then you may end up needing to do a factory reset. My device isn't showing any stored cache, so I would delete the data from my phone before doing a factory reset. However, you may have stored cache, which I'd delete that first and see if the problem goes away.
Are you running any sort of task killer? If so, many time the recent applications list gets wiped.
Good Luck,
Jason

I sometimes think of long home press as multi-tasking myself. Recently opened apps are lined up in their last data state ready for quick waking. And you can quickly get back to your very last app by tapping the see through screen visible below all the other apps.
I tried clearing the TouchWiz data and that didnt seem to help i guess i will do a factory reset tomorrow and hopefully that solves the issue if not ive only had the phone for a week so i guess i can do an exchange

I just read about a person who had a defective power button, so if the factory reset doesn't work then take it into Verizon and tell them the home button is defective.

Anyone know how to fix my sunken/submerged power button? It's still responsive/functional. But it annoys me that it's too flat, that it feels like i'm not touching the button.
Thanks in advance

Every time I press the home button it brings up the recent apps/task manager multitasker window. I click it once for a split second and it brings it up like it would if I held it down for five seconds. This has been happening for about a month now and I have no idea why. Plus I notice that when I turn off the screen it lags for a second too. I'm on build MJ7 and I'm rooted. Yes I have tried turning the phone off and clearing the memory, along with setting processes to the lowest amount but nothing works. Does anyone know what it is or how to fix it? Thanks.
