Haptic feedback is the vibration you feel when you type on the keyboard, dial a phone number or tap on-screen buttons. It's designed to help you know when you've pressed something since a touchscreen doesn't provide the tactile response of physical buttons. If you prefer to turn this off, there are a couple settings you need to change.
To turn off haptic feedback on the keyboard:
- From the home screen, press MENU > Settings > Language & keyboard > Touch Input > Text input.
- Tap Vibrate when typing to uncheck the box and turn off the vibration.
To turn off haptic feedback for on-screen buttons and the phone keypad:
- From the home screen, press MENU > Settings > Sound.
- Scroll down to the Feedback section and tap Vibrate feedback to uncheck the box and turn off the vibration.
