[Q] Haptic feedback not working on 3rd party keyboards. - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Works fine for the stock Sony keyboard, but not at all for Fleksy or SwiftKey. Anyone know how to fix that?

probably a bug with the app so you would need to inform the developer
but check your settings first

Works for me with SwiftKey

just checked swiftkey on my phone and it works fine
ensure you have vibrate on keypress enabled and in swiftkey up the vibration time anything below about 15ms and you can't feel it

Keyboard Dock and 3rd Party Soft Keyboards?

I'm using a 3rd party software keyboard and every time I plug my Transformer into the dock or turn it on with the dock connected, I get a message saying I should use the ASUS soft keyboard for "compatibility reasons." Can you turn this notification off? It's annoying.
I was just writing a post about this when I saw yours. When I have a 3rd party keyboard enabled the dock keyboard wont work. Can you confirm this?

No, I cannot. My dock keyboard works just fine. I just have to hit "Okay" on the notification to make it go away.
I am running the Hacker's Keyboard, by the way. What are you using? I can try it out to see if I get the same error.

Keyboard haptic feedback?

Is there a reason my haptic feedback doesn't work? I tried the Asus and Google keyboards, but neither vibrates on key press. Vibration works with other functions, so I know it isn't disabled. What's up with this?

Is haptic feedback specifically for the keyboard disabled?
There is a setting for that for each keyboard under the Language & input settings menu. Just find the keyboard you are using and hit the settings button to the right of the keyboard name. The Android keyboard also gives you additional haptic feedback options under the "Advanced" tab such as the duration of the haptic feedback pulse. If the duration is too short your tablet won't vibrate.
Ah, the Android keyboard was set to a vibration time of -1ms. Still can't get the Asus keyboard to vibrate, though.
Sorry I can't be more help I don't use the Asus keyboard much because of its cramped keys and lack of extensive secondary characters. Plus compared to the auto capitalization and word suggestion of the stock Android keyboard the Asus keyboard is pretty weak.

I was mainly using it because the stock keyboard is tiny in portrait mode. Think I might switch to Swiftkey X, though.

[Q] How do I turn off 100% of all Haptic Feeback and or Vibrate?

I do not want any haptic feedback, vibration, or my phone to ever vibrate from pressing a button on my phone. I cant find where to turn off 100% of this very annoying battery wasting feature.
Might someone please advise as to how i can do this?

I believe you can remove the vibration from the Settings - Sound - Vibrate Feedback option.
Now the keyboard is tricky, I install Thumb Keyboard 4 which allows me to remove sounds and vibrations of the key press, don't know about the stock keyboard. Yet I still recommend Thumb Keyboard 4

Keyboard has it's own setting under language and keyboards. Then you go to your specific keyboard.
I am also not sure if apps can override the global vibrate setting or not but most apps like calendar, gmail etc have their own vibrate setting you can turn off if one of them somehow skirts through the global setting.

Automatic default keyboard change after restart

Hi,
I have SwiftKey keyboard installed. Every time I restart the device it resets to another language keyboard and I need to visit the settings to get it back.
Also even when I switched off the vibration, vibration never quits.
Any solution?
Many thanks in advance.

If you are rooted then uninstall/freeze all other Keyboards like Vietnamese keyboards.
I also use SwiftKey keyboard never such issue but here is what I did
Goto Settings>apps>all apps> scroll down to find Indian keyboard or HTC Indian IME and tap on it and tap on disable so only sense input is on
As for vibration go to settings click on HTC sense input and in options uncheck vibration feedback and then go to SwiftKey app setting and go into haptic feedback and disable it and it should not be an issue
You might have probably done this but still go to settings turn SwiftKey as on after that go into the app and it will get you to a default input option select SwiftKey you should be good to go (although all this is done first thing when you install the app and tap on it in the app drawer)

[Q] why must Note 3 set Samsung keyboard as default when switching to BT keyboard?

i just bought a new generic bluetooth keyboard for use with my Note3 and my tablet.
when I do normal thumb typing, swiftkey is being used.
the annoying part is that when i connect my BT keyboard, it insists on using Samsung keyboard as default. After disconnecting it, the default does not switch back to Swiftkey and i have to manually set it back.
2 questions :
1. is this the normal behavior?
2. any workaround to this issue? - best scenario would be the onscreen keyboard is automatically hidden and Swiftkey remains as my default keyboard, so there is no need to switch after i leave my BT keyboard on the desk.
thanks.
