I like it, keeps a pocket free, and easier access to my phone at work. Fashion trends are luckily something I don't care to follow. If they were, I'd still have an iPhone as everyone here has one!

Lol iPhones are SOO uncool here lately #dadphone :D
I dont like to follow fashion either tbh. i recently bought a pair of wooden earbuds and all the cool kids are wearing big colourful Dre's :)
Id never wear a phone outside my pocket though.. sadly it just isnt safe enough here to do things like that :(
 
Another "nah" here.
I initially turned it off over battery concerns, but now, whenever I encounter an app that uses it, I find it a annoying.
 
Think im fighting a loosing battle here lol :) i honestly thought a lot more people used it, even amongst us androgeeks :D
 
I use it only on my keyboard but have it set very faintly. i like the feel but not to the point where it is so strong that you can hear it lol.
 
Haptic feedback used to be a factor in battery/resource usage, so I have been in the habit of turning it off.

Things are different now on some phones.. but I still have no need for it, especially with the quick little pop-up letters while using the keyboard. I look at the keyboard while typing.. yes. :o :D

Hey, I'm learning the swipe bit... it's stock on my Note 2.. kind of like it. No haptic feedback needed for that, but I still have to look at the keyboard (which I never do on my laptop or PC).

If voice weren't so "public" I'd use that. :p
 
Probably quite a lot if you do a lot of typing :thumbup:
Ive seen battery discharge apps that turn on the vibrate motor
 
I like having some type of feedback when I press a key. The visual feedback is not enough. I originally turned the key click on, but it annoyed people around me (my wife in particular), so I turned off the key click sound. My previous phones had a physical keyboard, so I can feel the click. Now, that I don't have a physical keyboard, I found that haptic feedback is an adequate substitution. I usually set it to the lowest setting.

Ideally, I would prefer tactile feedback to tell me what I am about to press BEFORE I press it. The limitation of haptic feedback is that it tells me that I pressed something after the fact.

Disabled for the UI but enabled for the keyboard (FlexT9).

Funny you'd mention T-9. The last time I tried my darndest to use haptic feedback was when I was experimenting with T-9 on my Fascinate.

I just could not see the use of either. For me. I know many use one or both.

Perhaps a poll about T-9 would be fun, too. :D
