Google Keyboard update? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hey,
A little back story-the S7 i bought in April 1 was all nice, then the buttons would not respond so i took it to samsung's shop and they updated it. The google keyboard vibration intensity decreased noticeably.
Then I did another system update recently, it decreased once again.
Overnight i did the mistake of connecting it to the WiFi and it updated the google keyboard app, completely removing any feel of vibration for the keyboard. Samsung keyboard vibration and other vibration stuff works, just not google keyboard (even though it is checked in the app's settings and seemingly allowed in permissions)...
does anyone know how to fix this? I reinstalled hte app but no go...

+1 for this issue.
I am having this problem also, do you mind to share the software version of your SGS7 with us? I have got Super-Man ROM V1.4.
I have tried Gkey on my M9(MM) and Haptic feedback works, so I think it is reasonable to conclude that this is some kinda compatibility issue.
And we can do nothing to do about it other than installing old version.
Don't know if it relates to this issue, but, I am using Google Japanese Input also, and that haptic feedback doesn't work also.

What vibration strength on keypress do you have set?

I'm using the latest updated stock everything, so much so the update check i did moments ago said i was up to date (hope this helps).
Oddly enough the stock keyboard haptic works, so it has to be a google keyboard issue too.

System default, but changing it doesnt do anything

update! I solved it, rather annoyingly however.
In the system settings, under vibration, notifications vibration is the one that should NOT be zero for google keyboard to vibrate. I have no clue why they combined it with that, but changing the notification vibration settings seemed to bring back the vibration for google keyboard. However this also means my phone vibrates whenever i get a text

Vibrating dialer....

Rooted and ran ruu....updated and now I get the annoying vibrate when I hit a number on the dial pad. Seen posts elsewhere about it. Anyone else confirm? Am I missing a setting somewhere? (and yes vibrate is off on typing input) I was pretty sure that when I first got the hero it did not have that feature. If that is how HTC does updates then ewww. If there is no setting someone please remove it in a ROM!

Wow you're right.....! I'll have to look in to removing that for a future release of fresh rom. It was for sure not on there before, but I did post in my thread that changes in the files (even though small) were made to every single stock app.

You have to turn off haptic feedback.

ok maybe i = nub, but the only vibrating feature i have found on phone and in manual is for the typing input, which is already off. Where is the haptic feedback option? i have looked through every setting at least a dozen times....maybe i just have setting blindness

Settings>Locales & Text> Touch Input>Text Input> Vibrate when typing
That's just the setting for when you use the keyboard. The keypad is different and it wasn't like this pre-update. It's a bit laggy and annoying.
I agree, been anxious to see what/if HTC says anything about the *new* feature....and thanks flipz for takin a look, and other devs for their awesome work on roms!
you can download "Spare Parts" from the market and turn off haptic feedback from there. May or may not help your issue.
Unfortunately spare parts does not disable it...doh
/bump!
With all the juicy ROM talk and requests....since the MR the vibrating dial pad is horrible. #1 on my list for what I am looking for in a ROM.
Any updates on how to disable vibrating dialer???
It is part of the Sprint RUU update. As far as I know there are no manual options to disable it from a user stand point The devs might be able to find a way to disable it im not sure.

Anyone else having vibrate problems With MIUI?

The title says it all.

Title says it all, but it's still vague as hell. Vibrate problems on ringing/notification? Haptic feedback in general? Elaboration is your friend.
Staying on post, I didn't notice any vibration issues while I had it turned on, but its since been turned off to conserve battery life.
I have this problem all the time, Im vague for everything without realizing it. I meant vibrate for notifications. I tried turning it on in settings but nothing.
If you want it to vibrate for your text messages you must go into the settings in the messaging app and turn it on as well as in the global settings. Same for email i believe.
Well, that did it. thank you very much.
thx that helps me too.
I just want to chime in on this situation and say that I had the same problem on my completely stock evo shift. One moment it worked perfectly and the next it didn't. After several attempts at checking settings and hard/soft resetting, come to find out it was a faulty motor in mine that worked when it wanted to. Had my phone replaced at the sprint store after a supposed cleaning fixed it and then failed again after 3 vibrating notifications. Just another possible resolution/observation.

Actually I have the opposite problem, I cannot disable notifications vibration ( for messages ) on MIUI ... but I found out this was caused by the apps settings ( Fb messanger / Wechat / What'sup )

[HELP] Haptic feedback/all vibration suddenly stopped working

As the title says, about 30 minutes ago, haptic feedback stopped working.
So far, I've toggled "vibrate on touch" off/on in both DISPLAY and LANGUAGE & INPUT, moved the slider for "KEYPRESS VIBRATION DURATION", done a handful of restarts to no avail.
I imagine I could do -adb fastboot reboot to get back to stock, but wanted to see if anyone else is having issues and/or fixes.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Ended up doing a complete wipe and reinstall stock - still no haptic feedback to be had.
Again, any help would be appreciated.
I had to do a RMA due to the defective vibrator motor in my N5. Maybe yours has died?

Might be a stupid question... but did you happen to install another keyboard?
I installed Swype and lost haptic, even though it was enabled. I cant remember if I unchecked/checked it or if I checked/unchecked haptic in the "stock" keyboard but one or the other fixed my issue.
Thought I'd throw it out there.

@jbdan I'm wondering if I will have to. Just checked and it doesn't vibrate when ringing nor receiving messages (the settings indicate that it should be)

@trendiggity no keyboards installed and I just checked, the N5 doesn't vibrate when it rings/messaged.
No problem doing an RMA for my N5. Already shipped.

Haptic feedback issue happening across multiple devices (related to Google Account)

This is one hell of a issue that I've never read about online but somehow I'm experiencing.
To make a long story short, a few months ago I bought a OnePlus 6T, after some heavy modding something went wrong and had to hard reset. For some reason, haptic feedback stopped working and never turned back one. Since I was still within the two months that Amazon warrants during christmas season, I asked for a refund and bought another OnePlus 6T of a different colour from a different store (for a much lesser price). Even the new OnePlus 6T had an issue with haptic feedback, when I first turned the phone on, during the setup, the haptic was there, but then after logging in in my Google account (which of course happens pretty early in the setup) again it stopped working.
It is NOT an hardware issue, becuase the feedback works when I receive notifications or a call, but it doesn't work when typing on the keyboard or while navigating the system (or even when I move the slider to vibration which should emit a light feedback).
Since I was tired of asking for a refund, I just kept the phone as is.
Fast forward a few months and today I pick up my new, beautiful and amazing, OnePlus 7 Pro and guess what... THE ISSUE IS STILL THERE.
The haptic was working fine while first setting up the phone, but after the Google log-in, now once again it only works with notifications and not with the keyboard (I tried both Google Keyboard and Swift key) or the alert slider.
YES, vibration is turned ON in the setting.
NO, the phone is not in battery saving mode.
YES, i've tried rebooting a few times
Anyone has any idea why the hell this keeps happening to me and how I could fix it?
Did you try turning on haptic feedback in the Gboard settings?

I had a haptic feedback issue with my Huawei P30. Haptic feedback setting was switched on in Gboard settings but it wasn't providing any haptic feedback in the actual keyboard. Turns out I had to go to Settings-->Sounds-->More sound settings and turn "Vibrate on touch" on. I think you might have already tried something like this but it seems like there's a system-level switch that overrides app-level haptic feedback settings.
If it doesn't work, try using a different launcher like Nova and see if it works. It might be able to override some system-level haptic feedback setting on your phone.
Galaxy note 10+ 5g here, tried all suggestions I found with the keywords I searched. If anyone has fixed this or has any insight, I'd appreciate hearing your experience.
My solution was to disable accessibility feature "Select to read". After I disabled it haptic feedback was working again.
Try to disable any of your accessibility features.

Gboard - voice to text mic missing in messages

Hi,
Just got my unlocked Pixel 4a today. No custom roms or anything. Android 11. Build RQ1A.201205.008.
I'm a bit of a minimalist, and I went through the keyboard settings for messages (it had this little emoji bar thing that also did the predictive words I wanted to get rid of). Also in that bar was the microphone for voice to txt. When I shut off those unneeded options and turned the dedicated numerical row on, the microphone disappeared. I've tried resetting the options to the best of my memory, but it still isn't back to where it was, and the microphone is still gone.
There is another microphone in the preview box, but that is a tap-and-hold-to-send-a-recording microphone. Not what I'm looking for. That works.
I checked permissions, Gboard has permissions. I checked the keyboard settings, voice to text is enabled. Anyone know the 'magic combination' of options to get this back? I use it frequently!! I'd hate to have to reset-to-factory just to restore this one feature.
Thanks!
I finally found it after much headaches. It seems the voice to text microphone is part of the "suggestion strip" that is under "Text Correction". No idea why this isn't integrated into the keyboard as it's own icon as it's been in earlier versions of Android.
If anyone has any recommendations on how I can potentially make that integration and get rid of the suggestion strip, please let me know.
I tried to reproduce the missing voice2text mic that you reported and failed.
I went to Gboard settings > text correction then:
Disabled show suggestion strip
Disabled next-word suggestions
Disabled emoji suggestions
Disabled sticker suggestions
Going back to the keyboard, the suggestion strip/stickers/GIF/clipboard/settings and the mic were all gone.
I re-enabled all the above and the mic reappeared, along with the other stuff.
One thing you could try short of factory reset is to go to the App Info for the Gboard, force stop, and clear the cache. Relaunch the keyboard to see if it brought the mic back.
---
Looks like you resolved it. I think this design change was made a few cycles ago and am not aware of any way to re-integrate it. You could try SwiftKey to see if that has the feature you want.
I think installing a different keyboard can be helpful here. Have you tried to do it? To be honest, it was one of the most significant problems that made me change a model of my phone. I did have a Samsung Note, and the problem with the Gboard was repeating very often. I have been browsing different sites to find a solution, but was never successful in it. One day, one of my sisters visited me and took my phone while I was in the kitchen. She fixed the problem instantly, would you believe it? I came to the room and was surprised after she showed me it. She said she visited https://techplugged.com/5-best-solutions-to-fix-the-gboard-not-working-error/ and followed all the instructions given there. I have forgotten about the problems with Gboard for a long time, but there were other reasons for me to change my phone to the latest iPhone.
