The haptic feedback on my x7510 has turned itself off somehow. I can't find any control panel or other means to turn this on. Can anybody suggest how to do this.
Thanks!

There are actually a couple different ways to accomplish this.
1. On the keyboard, lower left, green FN key, then lower right, right arrow key, toggles on/off.
2. If you use HTCHome click on the 5th icon and you will see Sound and Vibration. Vibration is the keyboard setting, on/off.
Great! Thanks! I figured it was something simple.
Appreciate your response.
There has been lots of interest over at Android Forums for an app that adds increased functionality to the optical button on the bottom of the Incredible.
App Fuctions:
While sleeping/locked
-Use button to wake the phone when sleeping (mimic power button)
While Awake (choose your setting)
-Button jumps to home screen
-Button brings up programs
-Button opens notifications drop-down
-Any other ideas?
Possibly could add additional function with a double press of the button as well.
I'm not a developer, so I really don't know how difficult something like this is. I just spent the last several hours creating sample apps and reading through the android developers website, but I'm not seeing anything on hardware button mapping.
Is anyone else interested in something like this? Or can anybody more familiar with the code chime in to what steps to take. I don't mind doing the leg work.
Thanks.
bump, would love to see something like this as well!
+1 on waking up the phone...something like this would probably require root though.

That's what I was kind of afraid of. Hopefully somebody will know more.
would love to see the trackpad run a virtual mouse (arrow cursor)
"myLock" already wakes up the phone. I know the dev uses a dInc... so if you email him ideas and he can do it, he probably will.
I'll tell you what would be most useful.
Instead of holding down the power button for 5 seconds to bring up the power/sound settings menu, make the optical button do that instantly.
That would be very useful. It seems like there is a laundry list of things that the button could be used for and it's extremely under utilized.
I pretty much gave up on developing the app myself because I couldn't figure out how to wake the phone with only the power and optical button.
Looks like we have to wait and hope a developer sees the interest and can help out.
I'd hate to bother them with such a small request when they are working hard on rooting our incredibles.
Increase Sensitivity?
I haven't seen anyone ask, but the one thing I really want from the Trackpad, is to turn up the sensitivity level, like one can do on a BB, (They have 10 dif levels for vertical and horizontal)
Why HTC didn't make this an option is beyond me, my trackpad is not nearly fast enough for me to utilize right now.
I have used it only 3 times to choose page numbers on forums/tightly spaced links so far.
That's really what the trackball is for... slow scrolling, with high precision. Personally, I hated how the End button on my Hero was also my Screen Toggle, but then again I came from WinMo where all HTC phones I owned had a dedicated power button. Call me weird, I just prefer it that way. And I don't really want the sensor-button to wake up the device; its not an iPhone. I think it distinguishes the devices, and besides, Apple is already suing HTC for a buncha crap (HTC is suing back, hurray!) and the last thing we need is for them to pull a bogus patent about the "Center analog input button waking up device."
Buuuut I do agree with maybe adding some sensitivity settings, as some games would be impossible to play with this optical sensor at its current sensitivity. Also, maybe a long press to open a custom menu, but not the sound/power menu as that would be redundant.
+1 for a app.
+1 on the app as well. A lot I'd these features would be very useful.
+1 on any app that gives us control over all of our buttons ala AEButton for WinMo... That's really the only thing I miss from my Omnia. Short, Long, Double, Triple presses, all for different functions.
I know you need Root, but that's inevitable. Hopefully someone with the skill is motivated to create an app like this.
+1 from me, would love to switch programs using the trackpad button
all great ideas OP
would love to see this implemented.
I'd love to have this app as well!

The only app i found that does anything with the trackpad is Widget Locker.
You can wake the screen with the trackpad and unlock it like you normally would.
And you get a nice new Android 2.2 lockscreen!
I can't for the life of me find a way to turn off the feedback for the capacitive buttons. Any one now how to do this I am sure I am missing something.
Go to Settings.
Go to Sound.
Scroll to the very bottom and uncheck Vibrate feedback.
Thank me
JK...enjoy!

Thanks I new it was something simple
Saw some requests for the possibility to disable the capacitive buttons. So I made 2 zips, one to disable the buttons and another to enable them again.
It's of course best used in conjunction with on screen buttons
The buttons still lights up when touched, but no vibration response and the buttons are deactivated. I'll look into disabling the lights also if theres a demand for it
Just flash either one of the zips from recovery, and reboot.
Both are tested with Foxhounds rom (ME2), but should work on any Touchwiz roms (And possibly AOSP roms (let me know if you test it)).
Enjoy!

Completely okay
People activate on screen buttons with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285624
And like the guy in the 2nd post is saying, he always touches the capacitive buttons accidentaly.
This mod disable the buttons functionality, so this doesn't happen
In regard to the light issue.. I've forgot there was a setting for it!
Hope I made myself clear!

i see my friend.
thanks for your effort.

In the button options, you can select what each hardware button actually does. I'd like to set google now (the thing where cards appear with info on things that might interest you, not the launcher) to start when I double tap the home button, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Does anyone know how I could achieve this?
Hopefully I missed a setting somewhere and will feel really silly a few posts in, but thanks in advance!
Go to Settings -> Buttons -> Hardware button
Check Enable custom actions and then set double tap for menu as the Google app
Ah, there we go, thank you! I don't understand why they didn't call it google now or something though.
Ps. I was right and feel totally silly now.
