[App] [01/26/2009] TouchResponse 0.3.2 - Vibrate on touch

[Snailslug]

01/26/09 - This is just a minor update to fix some issues and add a couple small features.

Feel free to give comments or ask questions.

Thanks!

This program is a touch driver to handle the touchscreen presses and vibration. A settings program exists to configure how the vibration works.

Since this is a touch driver, there is no program you need to run to start it.

It has been tested on an HTC Touch and HTC Touch Pro for several days with several stability issues corrected. I am only releasing this now that I feel comfortable that you will experience no major issues. However, I cannot guarantee that it will work flawless for you. I cannot be held responsible for any loss of data or time you may experience while using this.

If you are experiencing problems after installation, please let me know so I can fix these issues.

Features

Global enable/disable option
Vibrate on touch/release
Variable duration of vibrate
Disable during Phone Call option
Disable when device is silent
Disable when device is locked
Disable when stylus is out (for devices that support this option)
Enabled for On-Screen Keyboard only (Temporary option until full include/exclude list is incorporated)
Settings Program->Settings->System->TouchResponse Settings
AppToDate (http://www.apptodate.org/get) support


Coming Soon

Include/Exclude list for vibration
Different vibration patterns
Resolve any software conflicts
Vibration tweaks
Sound on touch
Vibrate on hardware button press
Multi-language support in Settings program
I'm open to suggestions...


Known Issues

May or may not play well with touchflo/ftouchsl. If TouchResponse isn't working for you, try disabling those if they are enabled.
Disable when device is silent may not work on some devices. Let me know what kind of device you have if this is the case for you.

Questions and Answers
Q. How to I change the settings?
A. Start->Settings->System->TouchResponse Settings

Q. Why do I not see the settings program?
A. For some phones, the settings program does not appear in the control panel. Until I figure out a fix, you can run the program by going to \windows\TouchResponseSettings.cpl

Q. Why is it not vibrating when I touch the screen?
A. Go to the Device tab in TouchResponse Settings. It will display information about your device. If it says to select your vibrate id then find the one that causes the vibrate to work. Send me a PM with the name of your device model along with the vibrate id that works for you and I will incorporate that into future releases.

Q. Will this drain my battery life?
A. I don't have any statistics to show the before and after battery usage. However, I personally have not experienced any significant increase in battery usage. It all depends on how long the vibrate duration is and how often you touch the screen.

Q. Why does the vibrate last longer than it's supposed to sometimes?
A. This should hopefully be resolved as of version .02.2. If you experience this after this version, please let me know when it happens and how often.

Q. Why is the vibration always the same duration no matter what the settings are set at?
A. Use a registry editor to go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>OEM>VIB and set STRENGTH_LOW to 0. Thanks to agdaniels for pointing this out. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3134815&postcount=449)

Please don't post this cab on any other site. Let's keep all discussion here. I appreciate your cooperation.

Thank you for your support!

[xboxhaxorz]

Ill try it and let ya know how it compares :)

[m.schmidler]

Nice idea, thanks for sharing.

I read about a phone (I think it was LG Incite?) where some people complained about vibrating even when entering text with the soft-keyboard.

Could you give us an option to dis-/enable vibrating when entering text ? Maybe there´s an event you can use when the soft-keyboard flips up...dunno

Martin

Since the driver has first crack at the touch event, I should be able to determine which window is being touched and either vibrate/not-vibrate depending on how it's configured. For example, I can see that the SIP is being touched and not vibrate. I'll add that to the list, Thanks!

[xmoo]

Just as Martin said.

When typng on the on screen keyboard. Vibrate on every button of the keyboard we pressing. That would be awesome.

Gonna test this on the X1i

[zakula]

It works great on my HTC touch PRO. :cool:

[_fm]

Yea Man !!

I love this Apps !!!

Thanks so much

all feature Works like a charm in my Kaiser (HTC TyTN II) :D

[curious george]

Well I guess I will put my suggestion here as I did with the other 2 programs like it.:) Would you consider creating a setting to were it is only active on SIP Keyboard AND when SIP keyboard is active I have choice between a vibration or a sound or both?

I know I can get a sound by going to the general settings of winmo but when it is on it makes a noise for all screen taps...annoying!!

Since this is a similar comment among everyone I will focus on this next. Thanks everyone for your feedback!

[richabi]

how about different types and lengths of viberations like the old motos used to have? dash-dash-dash-buzzz haha

maybe different intensities if possible?

[stutzedward]

I've always wanted 'heptic feedback' on my KS20 but non works for me. I've tried Heptick Feedback, Vibration Feedback and now TouchResponse, none work for KS20. Duh.... :(

[derekwilkinson]

Can these options be added?
1. Not to vibrate when on silent?
2. Change buzz length (make it shorter/less intense)
3. An "use only when SIP activated" option.

[Snailslug]

This is something I've been wanting to experiment with. I'll add that to my list, Thanks!

You may have tried something similar with the other programs you have tried, but you can try changing the Led Id in the Settings program under the Advanced tab. Be sure to press ok to make the settings to into effect. Hopefully it is just a case where the KS20 doesn't use the default Led Id for vibrate.

[Snailslug]

3. An "use only when SIP activated" option.

1. Yes, this is something I want to add! It's sometimes hard to go unnoticed when I use my phone in meetings at work when the vibration is loud. :)
2. Did you see the Settings program in the System tab of the "Control Panel"? Or do you mean a something like a longer buzz but less intense?
2. I'm going to be focusing on that with an include/exclude option next.

Thanks for your feedback!

Hey hey, it works for KS20 for the first time!!!!

I set the LED from 0 to 3 and hey, 3 works.

0 - LED displays green
1 - LED displays red
2 - LED displays blue
3 - it worked! :)

Thank you soo much! I gotta spread this on the KS20 thread because a lot of KS20 users are wanting this like me. I'll link them here.

[kidnamedAlbert]

very good work.
i have mine set to 25ms and the vibrate is a perfect length and silentness.
i agree on only sip active and/or blacklist

[tboy2000]

Just want to echo what's already said. What most ideally want is for vibration to be active ONLY on keyboard when text entering and to be as brief a buzz as possible. Some owners type very fast and we want the buzz to keep up and not still lag on the previous tap while tapping on the next key. It has to be super quick and not miss a key press when typing quickly. Thanks! :)

[derekwilkinson]

Ok, found the settings app, my bad :o

The other two requests would be awesome if they were to be fulfilled! :D

[rohithathie]

whats the difference between this program and this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425063 ??

[smotrs]

I've used a couple different Samsung phones with the haptic feedback (HF) option and really liked the way it was done. Using the HTC Touch Pro now, I can honestly say it's the only thing I really miss as it gave a pretty realistic response to button pushes. So I gotta say I like what you've done so far.

I only have one suggestion in regards to the vibration, not sure it can be done or not with what you have but I'll try to describe it. On the two phones I've tried which had built in HF, they had two different types of vibration, one vibration set for when a button was pushed down the other set for the button being released. When done in rapid succession it gave the impression of a button push and release. It's hard to explain but it felt like a ramp up when you touched a button and ramp down as you released it.

Hope that makes sense. Maybe others can try to explain it better. But it really gave a (from a touch perspective) realistic feel to button pushes.

could be gr8 also it this could work on resco keyboard

[Snailslug]

I haven't tried that program but this program and my program may seem to act similar. The difference is that mine is a touch driver. That means if there is any touch at all, it has to go through me first. Whereas I'm assuming the program you linked has to listen for a windows message that says a touch occurred which could cause the vibrate to lag behind the actual touch.

Another thing is that since I have control of the actual touch event, I am able to determine where on the screen the touch occurred whereas if you're only watching the windows messages you don't have that information. This will come in handy when I incorporate including/excluding touches on certain windows.

At least I believe that is the case...:)

[lmyers10]

Working good for me! Thanks!

One small suggestion if possible. Is there anyway to make it vibrate during scrolling in programs for example icontacts?

Great app thanks again!

Does it not do anything when using that keyboard? I'll have to try that out. Thanks for the feedback.

Actually, that was something I experimented with in an early version of TouchResponse. I thought it was pretty neat but needed a lot of tweaking so I shelved that idea in order to get this project in a stable-release state. I'll be looking into adding something like that in the future as an option. Thanks for the idea!

[smotrs]

Omnia outside the US and Instinct within the US. Those were the only two I played with. I had the Instinct for 3 months before the Touch Pro finally became available.

[Darkchaser]

I guess I'm the only one who has a problem.....

My phone is a Hermes / 8525 / TyTN.

Everything works fine after install, settings are ok and vibrate is fine. However after I leave the phone idle for a while, THE TOUCHSCREEN IS DISABLED. No joke, I touch my screen and nothing. I had to soft-reset which thankfully revived my touchscreen. Just for testing sakes, I left it idle again and sure enough, my touchscreen gets disabled again.

So for now, I've uninstalled it. If it helps, the only programs constantly running on my PDA are S2U2 and M2D.

Ah, I gotcha. Yeah I've played with the Instinct a little bit and liked the vibration response. I'll look into getting different patterns of vibrations to mimic that. Thanks!

I like the direction this is going great job so far.

[smotrs]

I know from using the Instinct and now the Touch Pro that they have two different system calls for the buttons, a press call and a release call. I suspect most touch phones have a similar situation. Could probably verify it with your own by pressing a button holding it for a few seconds then releasing it. If the button waits until you release it to show the released state, launch an app or perform it's function, then it has two system calls. One for the press state and one for the release state.

If the button reverts back to it's unpressed state while your still holding it, then there is just one system call.

Hope that makes sense as well. :)

[tom108]

i am using a cdma touch and the vibration duration does not change when i set it. 0 is hust as long as 12, 50, or 250ms :(

[rohithathie]

Just tried this one :D very nice ;) set my to 30ms works perfect! first after the reset i tought no it's so slow when entering settings :S but after that it's was like normal again 8-) now its working very fast no lags nothing!! i typed a sms with the touchkeyboard very fast ;)

1 question left, hows the batterylife when using this prog??

[Snailslug]

i am using a cdma touch and the vibration duration does not change when i set it. 0 is hust as long as 12, 50, or 250ms :(

Hmm, that's weird. Does it vibrate at all?

[Snailslug]

hows the batterylife when using this prog??

Good question...I personally haven't noticed a dramatic decrease in battery life but I'm sure it may be different depending on how often you're pressing the screen. I'd love to hear feedback about others' experiences with their battery life after installing this.

[cruzzmz]

Does it not do anything when using that keyboard? I'll have to try that out. Thanks for the feedback.

nope eventhough it has soft reset the phone.

[rohithathie]

ok then i am now charging it up. let's see what my day will bring for the battery.

i am going to sleep now because its 05:44 here :P way passed bedtime hahaha

[CRACING]

Hi,

I worked fine in my wizard without problem. But I think it will drain my battery kills the hardware motor also so I had to uninstall it.

Of course its a good app and will work on wizard also.

By the way, Thanks.......:D

[MarTeX]

Hi,

Just installed to my Diamond and the first feel is like WOW, this is something that i need for my htc. I report if i found any problems.

[stutzedward]

yeah... I hv this running in my KS20 and it certainly changed the feel of the phone. Tho it can't be seen like theme or skin but it really gives a different feeling. I'm setting the vibration at 60ms and loving it more as I use it. :D

[adderz91]

Working perfectly on my Polaris, this is one app i really wanted, thanks so much.

[Petulinek]

Works fine on Touch Cruise but disables Large Start Menu... In settings enabled but changed to small version...

[smog]

GREAT!! The tactile feedback while typing messages is awesome, I've never felt so confortable in writing messages with my diamond (DIAM100 unbranded + DIB 2.0) . On the otherside I am lookin' forward to next version where I can enable vibration only for SIP.

Keep up ... it's a great app.

[FatBoyExtraordinaire]

Can't wait to try this. With me having no speaker on my Wing, finally having some sort of feedback while using it will be a welcome addition.

[propagandax]

This program rocks on my touch pro!!! Works great

[tom108]

Hmm, that's weird. Does it vibrate at all?

yes. but for the same amount of time no matter the setting.

[chriggi]

works like a charm on my diamond. looking forward to the exlude list!
thanks

[Riekr]

grat idea, i will check it as soon as i will be able to have mobile vibrating only when entering text ;)

[Snailslug]

yes. but for the same amount of time no matter the setting.

Well at least it's vibrating... When you change the duration in the settings app, are you clicking ok to close it? The settings don't go into effect until you click ok in the top right corner. If that doesn't do it, try setting it to a different value, close the settings app and then soft reset. The touch driver should load with the updated duration. If not, let me know. Thanks for the feedback.

yes that is how i close it. but still no go. :(

[schauol1]

I set it to 15ms and thats just perfect. :)

Any chance to make it work only on "buttons"? IMHO it doesn't have to vibrate anywhere on the screen... only on buttons, sliders keys etc

that would be very cool. :)

Thank you for this wonderfull application.

[winwiz]

works perfect on touch hd! ideal setting is between 20 & 25, is it possible to include increments of one? i think 22 or 23 would be bang on

[jerkules]

yes that is how i close it. but still no go. :(

same here...no matter what setting the time is on, it is still the default length.

Hmm, it seems like something is preventing the settings app to update the registry setting. Can you try editing the registry key manually? HKCU\Software\Snailslug\TouchResponse\Duration?

You will have to soft-reset in order to load the driver with the new settings.

Or actually, if you edit the registry manually, try running the settings program again to see if your change shows up there and then press ok. The settings program sends a signal to the driver to reload the settings.

See if that works.

[tomashi]

great work.. on my HTC DIAMOND works lovely

i can edit the reg with no problem and when i make the change it does appear in the TR settings however it still does not physiclly change the durration. :(

[whatabambam]

It is great application. I really like it. But i have one question. What do you think about battery discharging when vibrating is on? Is it huge difference for battery life?

[peron]

Working great for me as well, touch diamond.
Bring on the exception list

I just wonder it if will have any impact on the life of the 'vibrator' :)

The registry shows the same setting as in the UI, but the duration still won't change.

[pacie2000]

Fantastic, thank you very much! Works like a charm.

[davelond]

I couldnt get this to work on my p3300

[mrmyth]

works perfectly on my Treo Pro running M2D. If I could make one suggestion it would be extended vibration for drag and drop.

[peron]

Bug found! The phone dial pad in my htc diamond will ignore the duration set in the parameters.
I use the default WM6 dialer if that makes any difference.

Same behaviour is seen when clicking on start ->settings

Other than that, lovely job!

[cwest06]

Love the Program

[samxein]

Does it not do anything when using that keyboard? I'll have to try that out. Thanks for the feedback.

Just wanted to say that it is working fine with my Wizard & Resco Keyboard Pro v.5.11.
Great app but I am going to uninstall it because i have a very old device & I don't want to risc breaking the vibration motor. I am using it a lot.-

[stanglifemike]

How do I delete everything from this program?? I have deleted the cab and the folder in Device/Programs but still having problems!! After 2-3 minutes I can not use my screen at all, so I cant get past S2U2 and have to remove my battery.....this sucks!!

[xmoo]

Known Issues
Touch screen disabled after resuming from suspend on Hermes / 8525 / TyTN

ALSO ON XPERIA X1!!!

[natefish]

I have been using this for a day or so. I really like it. I have it set on 30ms response time.

I look forward to updates with program exceptions in it. Thanks for the great work!

[dschoenike]

Greetings. Really like your app. Working well on my sprint mogul. Setting at 25 ms seems perfect for me. Thanks for sharing. dschoenike
Oh yeah, if there's any truth to what i've read, about the vibrating motor causing the "white spots" on ppc-6800/moguls, wonder what this app will do to my already white spot littered screen? :)

[satanman]

same proplem with samsung i740 - after sleep-wakeup touchscren doesn't work :(

[Snailslug]

Known Issues
Touch screen disabled after resuming from suspend on Hermes / 8525 / TyTN

Thanks for the update. I'm going to try to solve this issue. Just for clarification, is it a case where it won't resume at all, like the backlight doesn't turn on? Or is it a case where the backlight comes on and you can see what's on the screen but can't touch anything?

[WhatzinyourphonE]

cool little app! Just like phones that have it built in!

[Snailslug]

Oh yeah, if there's any truth to what i've read, about the vibrating motor causing the "white spots" on ppc-6800/moguls, wonder what this app will do to my already white spot littered screen? :)

That's interesting, I haven't read about that before. Can you link me to someplace that describes it? Thanks!

[dschoenike]

Yeah, i'll find where i've read that, and post a link. Like i said, i'm not sure if it's fact or rumor, but with these silly white spots all over the place, somethings causing it :) I'm currently posting from opera mini, so soon as i get on to a browser with copy and paste, i'll link it. Or maybe somebody will do it for me ;) Thanks again for your great app.
dschoenike

[eazy2001x]

works cool on my touch pro.. i just wish that it didnt vibrate on the start menu or the close button or any icons i click on. When you click on those things you will most likely be looking at your phone and know if they executed or not. I like it for text messaging

[laurx22]

Works great on my diamond.
Keep up the good work !:)

[stanglifemike]

I can see the screen, just cant do anything. Please tell me what file to delete so I dont have to do a hard reset. I havent had to do one in months. Please....

[dschoenike]

Unless im missing something, or just plain wrong, you can install memmaid with a free trial, and remove the app with that. No hard reset then. :)

[alainwong]

I'm glad to hear that was the trick!

Nope, not even the backlight will shine.

Same problem as shown by Peron. Using Sprint Diamond and stock dialer. Very impressed with your program and look forward to future versions.

[pistonripper]

How about making the configuration app finger friendly ?...so we dont have to pull out a stylus :)

By the way cool app...

[stutzedward]

How about making the configuration app finger friendly ?...so we dont have to pull out a stylus :)

Good idea!

[stanglifemike]

Unless im missing something, or just plain wrong, you can install memmaid with a free trial, and remove the app with that. No hard reset then. :)

I must of had a brain freeze. I went to Remove Programs in my phone and removed it. Thanks:o

[hung_ng]

This app is better than HapticFeedback or VOA, and it does not conflict with HTCVolume. Thanks.

[dschoenike]

I must of had a brain freeze. I went to Remove Programs in my phone and removed it. Thanks:o

Oh yeah, i've used memmaid for so long, i forgot about remove programs. :)

[Drybonz]

Great app... thanks.

Feedback was one of the very few features I missed on my Diamond when upgrading from an Instinct. The ability to set the vibrate length on this makes it feel nicer than the Instinct feedback.

Looking forward to being able to exclude vibration on games, certain 3rd party apps, etc. Scrolling vibrate (like the Instinct) would be sweet also.

Thanks again.

[tom108]

i really wish i could figure out why my verizon CDMA touch will not change the duration. i really want to use this app. :(

i just noticed there is nothing in the program folder "touchresponse" where is the driver located?

[fr4nk1yn]

Absolutely Fabulous!

I have it set to 15 for a mild "click".
The phone dialer does ignore the settings and as do some "random" touches.

Still fantastic and with SIP only it would be "Perfect".

[Snailslug]

i really wish i could figure out why my verizon CDMA touch will not change the duration. i really want to use this app. :(

I'm not sure about this one since that registry value determines how long to wait before turning off the vibrate. I'll have to think about this a little more. Sorry :(

i just noticed there is nothing in the program folder "touchresponse" where is the driver located?

Right now I'm storing the driver in the Windows directory.

[Blazeitup123]

works on my touch diamond. but i would really like a different vibration frequency. i don't know if you have played teeter. but in the game, when the ball hits anything, that vibration! its a perfect feedback for this type of app.

[jesusishere]

This work perfectly with my HTC Kaiser/At&t Tilt. WM6.1 with Manila2d.... Thank you!

[D25002011]

how can I put the vibrate always on and on his max :cool: :D

[brsev]

Known Issues

Vibrate duration cannot be changed on Verizon vx6900 leaked 6.1 ROM



Of all the combinations of phones and ROMs, it's the one I'm using. :(
Apart from the durations settings, seems to work very well, I'll probably use it once it gets fixed. Thanks!

[arturobandini]

Great App ! Thank you ! :)

Works like a charm on my Blackstone (Touch HD). It's really useful.

My only concern is: is there any noticeable impact on the battery consumption?

Thank you for any feedback...:)

[bolevo]

Great app man!
Working well on HD...I'm wait for Include/Exclude list for vibration.

[orlandojumpoff]

nice.
i'd like to have it where it only vibrates while using the soft keyboard... sorta like feedback... hopefully i'll be able to use it only for that in the future... otherwise too many vibrations will make me crrrazy

[arturobandini]

The perfect vibration feedback would actually be the one used in the HTC game named TEETER, when the ball touch a the wall.

There should be a way to find into the manilla registry the command corresponding to the TEETER vib.

[rainabba]

I have an HTC Vouge and I've been trying to get this sort of effect myself. I've tried many applications and as far as I can tell, with all the WM6.1 roms I've cooked or tried (and that's quite a few), this phone will ONLY vibrate for a fixed period of time. When you reset, or run Android, it will gladly vibrate for any given length though. Perhaps a driver issue? Something not being implemented? Please PM me if you want/need a hand with investigating this further.

yes that is how i close it. but still no go. :(

Well at least it's vibrating... When you change the duration in the settings app, are you clicking ok to close it? The settings don't go into effect until you click ok in the top right corner. If that doesn't do it, try setting it to a different value, close the settings app and then soft reset. The touch driver should load with the updated duration. If not, let me know. Thanks for the feedback.

EDIT: Just realized that the 'Known Issue' mentioning the Verizon 'Leaked ROM' was the issue I'm experiencing. The issue isn't a particular ROM though, it appears more likely to be WM6.1 on the 6900 period.

[Biker1]

Thank you for your hard work that you put into developing this program. Works real nicely on my Sprint Touch Diamond.
One suggestion would be not to have it vibrate while I am scrolling thru threads, in other words, while I am swiping from the beginning to the end of a thread or whatever I am viewing.
But thatis probably what others are suggesting when they mention that they would like to have the vibrate activate in SIP
only.
I notice some sporadic changes in the length of the vibrate duration while I am inputing text, but it happens so infrequently that it does not warrant me to change any settings.
Thanks again for the this great application.
By the way, I put the word out about your program on www.ppcgeeks.com and the members over there really like your program and the hard work you put into developing this program.
The thread over their has approximately 800 hits at this time and about 40 posts. :)

[propagandax]

Feature Request: I would love to be able to disable the vibration when the device is locked. I can feel it vibrating in my pocket if i bump it.

Small Bugs: I had the "Touch screen disabled after resuming from suspend" problem once yesterday on my touch pro but have not been able to replicate it, just loaded up 02 so I will keep an eye out. Also occasionally the vibration feedback is more intense (longer duration) when i click towards the middle of the screen, the previous poster said this happened on his keyboard but It happened to me on the keyboard and in SPB mobile shell interface. I hope that helps.

Thanks, this program is awesome!!

[gps-lover]

This is a super app!

Installed it on my Diamond and set Duration to 15 and then 20. It works exactly like Teeter game.

Thank you very much!

[MrBazUK]

Please would somebody post the settings (ie LED number) to get this working on my Diamond. Ive tried every value but it dosnt work.

Thanks in advance.

[gps-lover]

Please would somebody port the settings (ie LED number) to get this working on my Diamond. Ive tried every value but it dosnt work.

Thanks in advance.

on my diamond it works without any changes in led etc. you have to set "Enabled" and some value of duration >= 15

[dkotoric]

Hey I just wanted to say that this application is awsome by far the best Vibration application available. I'm using this for on the HTC Diamond.
One thing I want to bring up is I have my vibrations set to 15ms but sometimes when you click the start button it will actually vibrate like maybe 50ms instead of 15ms. It only happens maybe once out of 10 times and usually its always when you click the start icon on the screen.

[tom108]

I'm not sure about this one since that registry value determines how long to wait before turning off the vibrate. I'll have to think about this a little more. Sorry :(

no rush. if there is any way i can help or info you need pulled from my device let me know. ;)

[sdlopez83]

great program app! cant wait for the include exclude in next release!

[bond007taz]

nice app - thanks!

[MrBazUK]

on my diamond it works without any changes in led etc. you have to set "Enabled" and some value of duration >= 15

Thanks for the reply. But mine is set to LED #1 and Priority #2. Its "Enabled" and I've even soft reset. Nothing. :-(

[nttdemented]

Definitely very nice app! I'm using it on my Diamond since yesterday v0.1, gonna d/l v0.2 now to update a little. Only thing I'm noticing is the already reported issue where it sometimes vibrates a little longer but I only usually feel that when opening the start menu. Its been, I'd say 90% consistently 15ms stabs all the way through. Only thing I'd like to see is maybe a little more tweaking to get the stabs as stable as possible and adding exclusions/exceptions list for different programs and most of all an option to have this enabled only when the SIP is turned on and if possible, and I know it gets complicated here, only the screen area that the SIP takes up.

I'm going to be watching this one carefully, love it!

[Amlethae]

I love this app. I think it's a great addition to any WM phone. I particularly have the Xperia X1 and haven't tried .02 yet, but hope it fixes the touch-screen failure problem.

One suggestion though and I don't know how possible this really is:
It would be awesome if it only vibrated if you clicked on a viable/clickable thing. ex: if I click on the start button it vibrates, but if I click on an empty spot on my today screen that doesn't do anything when I click it, it doesn't vibrate. I expect this will add to the tactile feedback this application adds to WM.

Thanks for the work!

[guitardoc64]

I echo the comments of a couple of posts back. I love it! Out of several I've tried it works the best. Now I gotta try the new version? Cool, thanks and keep up the excellent work!

[Codax_755]

Changes in v.02 worked perfect in fixing the touch screen problem on Hermes/TyTN/8525

Thanks!

[Snailslug]

Excellent, that's what I wanted to hear. Thanks for the update!

[gdbgdb]

I have tried every LED and priority but it still doesn't work. does anyone else have the same problem? (i am running wm 6.1 w/ ultimatelaunch gui). thanks for the help.

[Snailslug]

Thanks for the feedback. What phone and rom are you running?

[gdbgdb]

samsung sch-i760. windows mobile professional 6.1.processor=ARM920T S3C2442.not sure what rom.

[jelive]

Works really well on Sprint Touch Diamond...look forward to future enhancements.

An atta boy :D for this program.

Jim

[michnow]

so greate app : )

[guitardoc64]

The 02. version is a nice update. First thing I noticed was the addition of the disable while silent. I appreciate the work that went into this app. Small program size is great. I haven't noticed any real impact on battery life so far and I was looking for a difference. Ran 0.1 all day with average use and found little if any impact on battery life. That's a big plus for those of us with Vogues, Diamonds and other HTC battery vampires. Definitely going to recommend this one to the masses at ppcgeeks and will follow the request to keep the support here. Thanks again Snailslug for the app!

[mulhiny]

this app is just what I've been looking for. Switched from an Instink to a HTC Touch and the only think I ever missed from my old phone was the haptic feedback. Thanks again.

[bast525]

Hey man this looks like a REALLY great app, I really like the way you have put the settings on the actual settings menu, and the options you have provided for adjusting.

Unfortunately, it doesnt quite work on my device! I have a Samsung i760. It is definitely doing someting... instead of causing the phone to vibrate, it causes the LED to blink. I tried all of the possible settings on the LED drop down, 0-7, and each change caused the LED to blink a different color. The duration works as well, and causes the light to blink shorter or longer.

I there is any information I can provide to you, or any way I can assist to get this working on the i760, I would be more than happy to as I would really like to have this working on my phone!

EDIT: the i760 is running WM 6.1, OEM/factory rom... no custom roms for this phone yet :( but yeah your app is definitely doing something, works great to make the LED blink, jut no vibrate!

[stutzedward]

I've been using this for the past few days and I hv yet to upgarde to 0.2 because the 0.1 simply runs perfectly on my KS20. In regards to battery life, I almost see no impact at all and I've set the vibration to 65ms. I just love it! Brilliant work, they should have this cooked into any PDAs. Hehehe...

[davezaff]

I have been searching for an app like this....awesome work....works great on the fuze.

[respider]

working flawlessly in my touchpro

congratulations and thanks for your work

set led to 1 and priority to 1, reboot, you should get the desired effect

[Biker1]

I just downloaded the newest version and noticed the following:
1) there is now an option to silence the Touch Response when the phone is set to Silent.
2) I have noticed that the vibrate response is now 100% consistent where with the other version, sometimes the vibrate response was slightly longer than at other times during the same text. But even then, it was a non issue.
Thanks for your hard work Snailslug:)

unfortunately it's not. sometimes it gives the standard vibration duration instead of the configured one. :(

[smotrs]

sprint touch here, works perfect with stock & custom rom. works amazing! just for sip & add a sound like the click from the storm would be great! thanks!
Some phones already have the ability to turn on a click. I actually thought the Touch had this ability, a buddy of mine has the Touch from Sprint as well and I remember his making a clicking sound when you touched things on the UI. Anyway, on the Touch Pro, I have the click enabled, that and the vibration give some positive feedback to button pushes.

I'm waiting now to see if he can link it to the actual button API calls on the phone, i.e. button press, button release. This would serve a couple purposes. It could give a vibration that represents a push and another that represents a release adding to the realism of pressing and releasing a button. It would also only vibrate when actual buttons are pushed opposed to just touching the screen.

A number of times in Opera I went to scroll and the vibration caused a double tap on the screen which resulted in a zoom. Other instances of that have happened as well in programs that allow a pan. Is it gonna make me turn it off? Hell no. :)

[Blazeitup123]

app is working great, only thing is in my htc dialer, it uses default vibration and not my 15ms as selected. only on the numbers, not backspace or x.

[divxrippimp]

Is it possible to do the same thing for hardware buttons? I want the keyboard to do this... Iv used the other app like this, but its NOWHERE near as even and stable as this one...

[Kapet]

v0.2 On LG KS20 works perfectly, LED = 3. After awakening of problems is not present. To the author of many thanks!

[arturobandini]

Such a great and useful app. Great work ! :)

There is just one thing which remains a little bit unclear to me:

I do not understand what the settings actually change?
- What is LED?
- what is Priority ?

[stutzedward]

I am not sure if I explain it correctly but...

LED - the appropriate 'hardware' to trigger the vibration. For my LG-KS20, when I select 0, 1 and 2, the LED on the phone blinks Green, Red and Blue. On setting '3', it triggers the vibrator motor.

Priority - the priority for the CPU to handle the trigger to vibrate.

[Supper]

Hey , guys.
I download and install it. When I click and install, it show a message ,and it said that you must reboot to continue install. After I reboot, I did not see the install process, and my touchscreen do not work, I just can use keyboard to do something.

Anyone can help to solve this problem?

B.T.W. my device is O2 Atom

[dödel]

hey , it doesnt work on my omnia

perhaps with the next version

Supper, go to Settings and select System tab and choose Touch Response. Try each LED settings, 0, 1, 2 and 3. Set the priority to 1 too. Good Luck!

[stutzedward]

Why do you need this in yr Omnia? Omnia already originally comes with Haptic Feedback feature.

[Pietje_1985]

Very nice app! I love it:D

using it now for a couple of day's without any bug or problem!!

Thank you

[Supper]

Supper, go to Settings and select System tab and choose Touch Response. Try each LED settings, 0, 1, 2 and 3. Set the priority to 1 too. Good Luck!

I have not found the Touch Response Setting in System tab.

Then I open the cab files and found it will put some files in windows folder after install, but I can not find it in this folder.

Can you tell me what can i do? Thank you.

[cruzzmz]

just to inform,
the new ver also doesnt work with resco keyboard :(
well hopefully the nx ver will

[echolock]

Nice app, thanks for that :) Works great on my T-Mobile branded Diamond.

As for features, apart from being able to set it to only be active when typing on a software keyboard, would it be possible to have AppToDate support? :)

[whaleyboy]

I've been wanting something like this ever since I tried my girlfriends Samsung Tocco! Works great on my Diamond! Thanks for the awesome work! :)

[MCKH]

This is nice....
But does it works on Toshiba G810?

Thank you for your prompt answer. I appreciate.:)

[ebliss]

Why do you need this in yr Omnia? Omnia already originally comes with Haptic Feedback feature.

Omnia's vibration only for some programs.


hey , it doesnt work on my omnia

perhaps with the next version

Omnia vibrate LED is 11 which is not supported by the program yet.

[stanglifemike]

Samsung sch-i760 : screen does not freeze up with new version! but still no vibration... hopefully next version. Thanks for the continued development

[m.schmidler]

how about making a list of which LEDs are compatible with which phones and then add a list control, so we just have to choose our model..or even better, auto-recognition of the phone model. Is this possible ?

regards,
Martin

[bast525]

Samsung sch-i760 : screen does not freeze up with new version! but still no vibration... hopefully next version. Thanks for the continued development

I posted more detail on this as well back on page 13 of this thread. It "works" in the sense that it does trigger the LED to blink on screen taps, and even configuring the duration causes the light to blink shorter or longer. But all of the LED options just cause the light to blink a different color.

Someone mentioned above that the Samsung Omnia vibration would be LED 11, which is not supported yet.... so I'm sure the i760 is just some other number, though I'm not sure how to find this information (I'm sure it's in registry somewhere).

[Drybonz]

set led to 1 and priority to 1, reboot, you should get the desired effect

Thanks for the tip. This fixes the long vibrate on my dialpad, but not on the start menu button.

[notch8]

nice app ... any way to make it only vibrate using the keyboard?

[LTxda]

Nice work. Looking forward to further developments.

[xenokira]

Cool, it works on my Touch Pro. Thanks!

I did decide to lower the vibration time; I thought the default was just a bit too long. Now it's set for 30ms.

[Biker1]

I downloaded the newest version yesterday and everything was working fine until a few minutes ago.
My phone is in silent Mode but the vibrate touch response is not turning off.
I did the following to try to correct the issue:
1) I removed and downloaded the newest version again.
2) My Diamond did a soft reset.
3) I set the vibrate off mode while the device is set to silent.
4) It still vibrated so I did a soft reset.
5) It still vibrates while the Diamond is in silent mode.

A small issue and not a big deal but I just wanted to let you know.
Thanks.

[coolguy949]

Interesting. Mine also vibrates in silent mode even though I have it set to disabled. I worked perfectly yesterday.

Also, I've noticed the vibration is longer when doing anything in the start menu or opera.

[Biker1]

I toggled the volume rockers on my Diamond again. I did this before which I failed to mention in my other post.
I did this a couple of times.
EVERYTHING IS WORKING FINE NOW!
The Diamond did one of its common freezes so BLAME IT ON THE DIAMOND.
Funny thing is that the DIAMOND showed it was in silent mode but I guess it was an internal thing.
Sorry for the false alert lol!
Happy Thanksgiving!

[Biker1]

Interesting. Mine also vibrates in silent mode even though I have it set to disabled. I worked perfectly yesterday.

*See Post Above^
Toggle a few times.
If it does not work, try a soft reset. You know, the thing we do several times a day with the Diamond lol!
The longer vibrate is a known issue that Snailslug is working on. ;)

[coolguy949]

Wow, that fixed it.

[yuriko]

Thank you for this cab!!

[~David]

Great utlility :)

Working flawlessly on my Touch Vogue.

[nelly04]

Hi, Ive been looking for a program like this for a long time but couldnt find the right one. from all the feedback, this looks like its the best in its class so far. I installed it and it wont work though. I tried all of the different led settings in the advanced tab and went to the registry and still nothing. Is this common on the mogul????

[gobmonster]

So i finally tried this app and WOW, it works amazingly, but i have a request

Is it possible to set it so that my phone vibrates on all inputs? Hard buttons and keyboard? I have a touch pro and i find it out, but i miss feeling feedback vibrations when i do something not on the screen. It would be an unneccesary but cool to me feature :D

[Snailslug]

I added it to the coming soon list. Thanks!

[Snailslug]

Thanks to everyone who have tried TouchResponse and have given valuable feedback. The response I have received from this project has been overwhelming but very much welcome. It was definitely not what I expected!

This latest release is an attempt to help solve some issues with phone compatibility and reliability. I am wanting to get this project as stable as I can before introducing any additional major features.

Unless there are additional pressing issues are identified, I am planning on the next release to include the inclusion/exclusion list that many have been asking for.

Thanks for your support!

[guitardoc64]

You DA Man! In my evaluation, I noticed that there are differences in vib strength on my today screen. I'm using SPB Pocket Plus 4, and when I togle tabs I get the same stronger response that others have reported in clicking the start menu. By no means a gripe as this app is a new fave. Kudos and keep 'em coming!


***Edit*** Wow! another new update to try! Happy Thanksgiving!

***Edit*** vib issue fixed! Me happy!!!!

[coolguy949]

Looks like this version fixes the longer vibration while in the start menu. Awesome work!

When you add exclusions, please provide a way to enable vibration feedback only for the SIP. My main reason for getting this was to enhance the on screen keyboard (which it has, greatly!).

And lastly, another idea I had is regarding the stylus. It would be nice have an option that disables vibration if the stylus is taken out.

THANK YOU!! Love this app.

[rgsekula]

latest build works awesome on my samsung i760. The led # is 8.
thank you much

[huynhc]

could you add apptodate support?

great work btw! keep up the great work man. you are awesome even pushing a new release over t-day!

[churka]

I REALLY want to try this app out but I can't make it work.
I have a Sprint Mogul and I went through all the IDs. (Version 2.2)

Was I supposed to restart after changing the ID? If not, then I don't know whats wrong.

[stutzedward]

The new version 2.2 is not working well in my KS20. After upgrading from 2.1, the vibration in 2.2 is very strong eventho the setting is the same, at 60ms, hence when I hit the screen, it 'double taps' each iFonz icon I have twice, launching the program again and again. I can't even swipe the screen to change the iFonz menu page with my fingers. Hence I need to use the stylus softly hitting the option I want to go to Setting to disable the TouchResponse.

I've reverted back to 2.1. I guess I'll stick with 2.1 for now.

If you click ok in the settings app, it should reload the settings in the driver.

[guitardoc64]

Thanks for correcting me Snailslug.

If the OK in the top right does it. Then what ID is mine? (Mogul) I went through all 15 IDs and none of them worked...

Did it do the same thing when iFonz was closed? I just installed iFonz on my phone just to see if I could replicate it but I did not experience what you describe.

[Snailslug]

Hmm, I'm not quite sure. Someone else has responded that it works with a Sprint Mogul. Hopefully, that person could reply with which id they used and we can go from there.

[nelly04]

Mine too is still not working on my mogul after installing 2.2. I went through all 15 ids and none of them worked. I hope there is a fix for this.

[Balkar]

hi, i have tested this on a win mo 6.1 htc touch vogue and it is working. Duration can be changed and seems to be out of bugs for me right now.

THanks for the Great App! Lovin' it.

Also, do you plan on adding the option to only vibrate when SIP is active?

Alex

[stutzedward]

HI SS, thanks for looking into this. This is happening even with iFonz closed, means when I tap on the Start, it double taps. I think the double tap is the result of very strong vibration. I had a hard time going into the Settings option to disable the Touch Response.

[Sodde]

The latest version won't work on my CMDA Sprint touch pro. I installed and it worked the first time I tried it but after trying a lower vibrate level and soft reset, I cannot get it to work, even if I return it to the original settings. I've tried all options without luck so far. I'll maybe uninstall/re-install to see what happens.

Snailslug you rock! As a Samsung i760 owner... it often feels like being an outcast or redheaded stepchild here on XDA, since it's a non-HTC device.

But here you are working to include EVERYONE with this fantastic little app of yours, and only a couple days after a couple of us i760 owners posted here the results we were getting, you come out with a revision that works perfectly for our phones.

Newest revision is working perfectly for me... awesome app man and greatly appreciated!

[stains2k]

It is great .........one......

Thx..

btw I am using Touch Dual (NEON100) 3G w/ SK Telecom

[Biker1]

Downloaded the new version which corrected the vibrate variation.
As I have said before, GREAT PROGRAM.
This program has to be one of the TOP ones out there.
Thanks for all the hard work, especially on Thanksgiving.
Happy Turkey Day:)

[S.V.I]

works superbly on my wizard! genius! I especialy like to use this to make sure that when I hit a button it is actualy activated... and all I have to do is wait fort he program to start or the link to download. helpas me with my patience. I especialy like that I can adjust the length of vibration. otherwize I think it would give me a headache. thanks a whole lot!

[tommyx21]

Hey hey, it works for KS20 for the first time!!!!

I set the LED from 0 to 3 and hey, 3 works.

0 - LED displays green
1 - LED displays red
2 - LED displays blue
3 - it worked! :)

Thank you soo much! I gotta spread this on the KS20 thread because a lot of KS20 users are wanting this like me. I'll link them here.

Very Nice application Boss, I hv been using LG KS20 since last year, first i get a little confuse, because the application didn't work after installation,but next after follow the instruction above its work amazing :)

[gps-lover]

now it works on my Diamond without any duration deviations.
Super!

[stutzedward]

Can u get v0.22 to work in yr KS20? This new version can't work well in my KS20. The vibration is so strong that when I hit anything on the screen, it double-tap opening the application again and again. I've reverted back to 0.21 which works like a gem for me.

[appelflap]

hey , it doesnt work on my omnia

perhaps with the next version

Works like a charm with the Omnia. Set the "Vibrate" to 10 on the "advanced" tab

[Arrz]

So far so good, this program really rocks. I'm using with my GSM touch pro with no problem at all.

My friend can't even tell that it's the add on...

[mpowerbit]

I've tried to set all 15 ids but still not work on my p3600.:(
who have tried other versions of TouchReponse on this device?:confused:
Thanks



EDIT: Work fine...i've not disabilited the fTouchFlo:D

ID:1
Vibrate Duration can be changed:cool:

[arturobandini]

This version v02.2 works perfectly now on my HTC Touch HD.:)

Even better than the first one, and lighter!

CONGRATULATIONS !!!!

amazing job!

For me, everything is perfect now.

Maybe we could just improve the icone. I'm sure we can find something more lovely ;)

[dr g]

Terrific app. Working on my Spring Touch Pro on ID 1 ... I do eagerly await the exception lists though, as in games and such, the feedback gets annoying. Use a super short time to keep it subtle, 22ms. What times are everyone else using?

[uzer_23]

Could someone please repost 0.21 .. i wann try on ks20. thx

[cold]

Hi! Say pls how is number of the HTS Touch LED? I can't enable vibration. May be it have conflict with another app?

[Username:]

Does this application negatively impact performance in any way, especially in terms of responsiveness and battery life?

Those two issues -- battery life and responsiveness -- are the major problems I see with the AT&T Fuze.

[stutzedward]

I hope SnailS is okay with it, if no, let me know so that I'll remove it.

It runs well in my KS20 and I dun see any higher battery consumption too, so it's fine for my fone.

[Trullalero]

Good work, it's fine :-D

[tom108]

Still no love for the Verizon Touch Rom. :( :(

[Drybonz]

2.2 has eliminated the long vibrate on the start menu for me. Thanks a bunch. Program is really coming along nicely. I love it.

[lanny84]

snailslug, great app! i'm using this on my touch diamond. only thing i hope u can change is allowing a setting where only the keyboard vibrates amd nothing else is affected.
thanks for the app!

[jerkules]

Still no love for the Verizon Touch Rom. :( :(

Yeah...seems not yet. I have faith that it can be resolved as Snailslug seems to be working diligently for all users that reply to this thread. :cool:

Keep up the great work Snailslug.

[nelly04]

Does anyone have a mogul and this program does not work on their phone. if it does work, can you tell me which id you put it on and how you got it to work???? Thanks

[drewden123]

2.2 is working on my mogul. LED is 1. Make sure you don't have anything enabled like FTouchFLO or something that adds finger scrolling cuz I had to disable that to get it working. Just make sure it's set to LED 1 and soft reset

[nelly04]

OMG It Works. It was the touchflo. Thanks alot drew. This driver kicks a**. Its so responsive. Also BIG THANKS to SnailSlug for creating this.

[propagandax]

.02.2 has fixed the long vibrate for me too. Nice work.

[churka]

I need Touch flo...........
I guess I'm going to miss out on this program then

[Antboy]

It's working on my CDMA Vogue, and duration is adjustable.

Never thought I'd really care about any kind of haptic feedback, but decided to give this a whirl. It works really nice with the keyboard when the vibrate duration is set to 15-20 ms.

[holydhaliwal]

This works very well, however im curious as to weather or not its possible to only have the feedback when you activate a function, for example right now it vibrates when ever you touch anywhere on the screen, this isn't very informative, if for example it would only vibrate when you actually press a function or a button?

[drewden123]

Maybe the next version could allow ftouchflo to be used? I'm guessing they use the same driver which is what causes the conflict. Great program. BTW, churka, just wanna make sure ur not confusing ftouchflo with touchflo (as in manila 2d or 3d). ftouchflo is just a finger scrolling app. touchflo works fine.

[mr_deimos]

Really great program you've made. If we only had more new users "first posts" like that ;)
Anyway, this software works great on toshiba g900, and doesn't conflict too much with fTouchSL (unlike other similar programs i've tried). For a standard tap action the vibration can be felt immediately, for a ftouchSL drag and gesture actions there's no vibration at all (which isn't really a bad thing). For tap-and-hold action, the vibration is felt after ftouchSL's gesture timeout, which is a great thing since this is the moment when ftouchSL starts passing raw input data to the OS and you can perform default actions like drag-select or dragging a scrollbar. Actually feeling this moment helps a lot :D
I'd love to see such functionality implemented into ftouchSL, but before that happens i thing i'll stick to your software. Thanks a lot and keep it up :D

That and i need ftouchflo for my sanity with WM.
hopefully the next release addresses these issues.

[stanglifemike]

AWESOME!! Version .2.2 works on my Samsung sch-i760. LED is #8. Love this program!!

[MontAlbert]

working fine on my trinity. led 1. don't have touchflo running but works fine with FTouchSL. have not had any problems at all....

Not sure what the LED setting means but it works fine so am not gonna pay with it :D

[mr_deimos]

The LED setting is the effect of lack of a single standard. Some time ago, PDA's (without phone module) used only LEDs (light emitting diodes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode), in case you don't know what it is) to signal device state to the user. Different devices could have different number of leds, and use them for different functions, so system "sees" them only by their number - led0, led1, etc. If 00 is the power led, a notification led, or something completely different is device-dependent. Things got worse when pda's got phone modules. Since they became phones, people wanted to have all functions phones can offer, including vibration alarm. Someone came up with a good idea to hook up the vibration motor instead of one of the signal leds. This way existing API could be used without any modifictions, and there was no need to modify the OS at all. And everything would be great if everyone connected the vibe as the same led number. But there's no unified standard and every company hooks it up differently. Probably it's part manufacturers' fault since they seem to connect vibra and LEDs randomly, partially it's microsoft's fault, since they don't even propose standard LED layout. So now we do have easy access to vibration motors from programs, as long as we know where to look for them.
If your device has vibration alarm, this program will probably work. You'll just need to experiment with different LED numbers. Some can light up ledss on your device, some won't do anything at all, and only one will activate vibration. So if you found it, you can stop looking ;)

[Biker1]

Thank you for the detailed info.
Good to know.
I did not know the story behind the LED value.
I thought that if the vibrate was intermittent regarding intensity, a change in the value would correct this issue.
But now I know that the value you choose either activates vibrate upon touch or it doesn't.
Btw, the LED value on my Sprint Touch Diamond is 1.

[mr_deimos]

A little proposal, Snailslug: since this program is getting a lot of attention and the tread grows really fast (23 pages in 5 days? Not bad :D ), how about editing the first post with a list of devices that are confirmed to work along with their proper led numbers? This way you might get _a bit_ less questions like "hi, i'm to lazy to search the tread so pls tell me what led num should i set for xxxx?" ;)
So Toshiba g900 - as i said before works great, LED#0

Yeah, and word it just like that. :)

[fr4nk1yn]

I have a little OCD with "odd" numbers and thought the 1ms increments wasn't necessary.
I'm now set at 17ms and that 2 extra made a "big" difference.

[hootie]

I was having some issues with returning to the Today screen (ie not being able to get back), but I have soft reset a couple of times and seems good now. I will post back after using for a while and keep my eye out for new versions. It seems like people are really liking this little app.

I PM'd you but will list LED ID here also. Cingular 8125 = ID #1

Thanks for the cool app and keep the updates coming.

Yea, I know. I disabled Touch Flo temporarily and this feedback is awesome. Feels exactly like the instinct at 25ms

[Blazeitup123]

working great on my diamond. 18ms feels just like teeter.

long vibraton issue is greatly reduced. only one out of 50 taps. don't know about the led setting, just works as is.

HIGH FIVE!

[smotrs]

Not exactly, but very nice. I'm hoping Snail can make some adjustments in future releases to make it even more realistic like the Instinct's Press/Release feeling. I know he's posted that he wants to get it as stable as he can for all devices before adding features (message #172 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450256&page=18)). So I'm just gonna continue to enjoy what we have and wait. :)

[superpc]

great applications, now i don't miss my sold omnia that much. looking forward to a version with exception list, thanks for this!
btw if anyone wonders, i still have yet to notide any battery draining issue :D

[tepss]

How does it influence battery and life of haptic engine itself? IE is it safe? Work great but what are the consequences?

[guitardoc64]

So far I have found no negative impact on battery life. The motor pulses are short and shouldn't damage it in any way.

[agdaniels]

very excited about this app, many thanks snail

any new news about getting it running with the leaked verizon rom? 50ms is a little much for each keypress :P

[smotrs]

Are you not able to change the response time on your phone? Or does it just not work at all on your phone?

[viper8u2]

Nice Job, awesome app.

Works on my verizon xv6800 with ftouchflow on led 1

thanks

[sadko1]

Thanks, it´s work great in my old hw6945

[mb3]

This works awesomely on my Titan. Keep up the great work!

[stixnstownes]

works great on my 8525
any chance of getting it to work with ftouchflo? i can't live without it
scrollbar on the side sucks
i love this feature but i would love it more if i could have both ;)

[nkawtg]

So far I must say I am really liking this program. Great work.

[151jcolon]

waoooo very very fine work

[F_R_I_T_Z]

working GREAT on HTC Universal..
GREAT

[colinyoung]

hello i have a verizon xv6900 the only one apparently that doesnt let you change the vibration time on this program. is there any way i could make it work on this phone? or does anyone know of any programs like it that would work? thanks very much for any help i appreciate it.

[agdaniels]

Are you not able to change the response time on your phone? Or does it just not work at all on your phone?

Can't change the response time, installed just fine and defaulted on the proper channel.

[smotrs]

What about within the registry, have you tried to manually change it there as well?

\HKCU\Software\Snailslug\TouchRespone
DWORD: Duration

You will probably have to soft reset after the change though, so try a big jump or you may not notice a difference at all. Let us know.

no good friend, still the 50ms vibrate

[smotrs]

Daniels, we will probably have to wait to see if Snail can figure it out then. You may want to post your phone model and what verizon ROM your having the problem with so he has the necessary information.

Sorry to hear your having such a problem.

[agdaniels]

its a vx6900 with the official verizon winmo 6.1 leaked rom

the same one he mentioned in the known issues area.



Really looking forward to this app, so heres to you slug

[Reefhunter49]

Snail, great app! Would like to see sip only option, and can't wait for the sound option. Thanks
