Keyboard Vibration and Sounds
When using the on-screen keyboard, you might find it useful to have some audible or
sensory feedback as you press the virtual keys. Follow these steps to toggle a click
sound or a short vibration on or off:
1. Tap the Settings icon.
2. Tap Language & keyboard.
3. Tap the type of keyboard you are

Swype).
4. For the Multi-touch keyboard, you

you are using the Swype keyboard,
you can only turn Vibrate on or off
on keypress.

TIP: If you never see the suggested words appear
above the keyboard, then you will have to enable
suggestions by selecting your Settings app >
Language & keyboard > Multi-touch keyboard
or Swype keyboard, and then setting Show
suggestions to on (a Green check mark button
next to the option means it is selected).
