Keyboard Vibrate stops working

[rmcgrath1705]

Hi all,

My keyboard vibrate cuts out intermittently.

How can this problem be solved?

Thank you

Could you elaborate?

Are you on Stamina mode or any battery saver mode?

In the simplest terms, I'll be typing a message with the vibration set to 'on' when a key is pressed.

Then, during typing the vibration will cease to work.

For example, whilst typing this forum post, the vibration failed after writing 'simplest terms'.

What is the problem and how can I solve? Thanks

Can you test if it happens in safe mode?

In safe mode the vibrate function doesn't work at all.

You can try clearing cache/data or Xperia Keyborad app, but be sure that you have your own word dictionary synced to you Xperia account:

- Go to Settings -> Apps -> All -> Xperia Keyboard -> Force stop, Unistall updates, Clear data and restart your phone.

- Update your Xperia Keyboard app from Play Store and test the issue again.

That didn't fix it unfortunately
Also bottom 3 keys often don't vibrate.

Any further ideas?

The last step is to repair the phone with PCC

PC Companion (PCC)

Bridge (for Mac)
