Must say though Sony seem to have a problem with their haptic motors.
Had a faulty one in a Z1 Compact. My Z1 is in for repair for a broken haptic motor. Disappointing if they're still having problems with this in the tablet Z2.

have you tried repairing it with Sony PC Companion or Sony Update service?
ok after running the sony update service the option turned from sound and vibrate to just sound options under xperia keyboard.
then once you initiate a reset from within the settings it comes back to sound and vibrate, but won't work, so thinking it was an option that was removed.

Apparently mine suffers the same issue. I don't think it's an hardware issue since I went to service testing and it seems to work fine. It also works when I am in the key board vibration settings, it just zoesnt work outside of that.
Might just be a software bug, hope the next update fixes it.

I don't think anything is broken here guys.
At the time of release, I read somewhere that Sony intentionally only activated haptic feedback for certain UI elements, the keyboard wasn't one of them. I'm sure it was in manual.

i know that you might be right, but the ui option for vibration in the keyboard was left behind, so therefore this would be a minor software bug with xperia keyboard.

Wondering if someone can help, on my Xperia s when I am in my home screen or any other app and I press and hold the camera button it will launch the camera app.
But on my girlfriends Xperia s this doesn't work. (launching camera in lock screen still works)
Does anyone know where the settings for this is?
Thanks

Maybe due her launcher? It isn't a different configuration on the launcher?

I may not know the answer, but it's worth trying to re-flash the unit without wiping your user data.
The same thing for me! Quick shot works good.... but many times when i press the camera button with unlocked phone or in menu....the apllication doesn't start.....i must re-press 3/4 times.

This seems to be the issue I am having, pressing a few times eventually loads the camera. Have tried reflashing, and makes no difference.
One thing I have found was that in the service menu and software info it says no file found for memory card. And touch firmware version as 6, while my working Xperia s says 7
On my Xperia S i have file for memory card (in the service menu) and touch firmware version 7 also.... but the problem with camera app happens very often!

This looks like a software issue as the camera button works perfectly fine and quick launch for the camera works everytime when in the lock screen.
I have reflashed with different versions of firmware so I guess the memory card and the touch firmware versions are physically different hardware I suppose.
But this is just really bugging me at the moment!
Do you guys hold the button for like one second? Cause the camera starts only when i'm holding it a little.
Just touching the button has no effect in locked mode or on home screen for me.
Just install it, setup to 5 sec awake
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.schwimmer.android.smsawake
does this have notification light for SMS? like many ICS upgraders are complaining that LED doesnt blink for SMS!
Yes, it does!
It helps to wakeup phone for a few seconds, and led notification (stock/standard function) is sart working.
But why do we have to fix .
What a massive company called sony cant be ass to fix .
On there forums therr know the bugs now . The update should be out now and fix it all
It is not a fatal bug, it will be fixed in the next release
There other bugs . Aswell .i stick to gb till all is fixed

It doesn't work for me! In fact, it does nothing at all! It doesn't even wake the screen like it should when I receive an SMS!
From my own experiance with companys ICS for 2011 will never be polished from sony side cause they need to sell 2012 models and this is a good way to do it why......
They rollout buged ics thats not working and buging customers > they cant downgrade officialy > and they buy a new phone.
In the end they put a mayor marketing on the new phones and the 2011 bugs are forgoten.
Its not a nuclear science.

You forgot that if sony put or leave existing bugs deliberately on 2011 devices less people will buy sony's 2012 phones.So how is that beneficial for sony?

You mean since the screen/ backlight is turned which is the nature of this app? As well as the ramping up of the cpu while waking up
It would be nice if there is empirical data to know how much power is lost because of this
But how low can smsawake be set to light up the screen? Can we go lower than 5 sec and will it still activate the LED?

Ive done some testing with the fix that worked/half worked posted by till-kruspe and the screen only needed to be on for a sec while the sms was received. So naturally having this app screen on for a sec instead of 5 will save battery compared to 5 sec, but the fact is the screen has to still turn on, when it shouldn't have to be. This is a real battery waster when you compare it to if the led was working correctly and the screen didn't need to come on.
Just my input,
Cheers,
Evil.
Just wanted to notify you guys on LED issue. I am using Stock WORLD ROM, and te notification LED works perfect for messages,calls,emails, facebook..blablabla
Coolbuy do you have rooted ICS or not? I'm using handcent sms and it does have exactly same option as this little tool, but led is blinking only when display is lit. When LCD goes off LED stops blinking.
This also works well with GO SMS. : (
Not for me. I'm just installing plain ICM (without any roots, CWM's etc.) and will check it works.
UPDATE: Checked it and it's not working. Returned to GB and everything is working perfectly. Have to wait until ICS will have most issues solved. At the moment GB appears better for me.
I have Sola running ics, hardware buttons (menu - Home - Back) light not working correctly, I want it to be on as long as I'm working on the phone and off while the screen is off - that's it, any advice?
Try IIumination bar app.
+1 the hardware buttons light erratically. its been like this since its last update (.184) before ICS. I thought the ICS update would fix this but it hasnt.

Thank you my friend for sharing, it's working fine but I was looking for a fix for the sola rom it self
** This module is no longer needed for Android 5.0 or higher **
This Xposed module restore LED functionality of Xperia devices when Stamina mode is enabled. Normally, when enabled, Stamina mode either disable the device LED or force it to show only white color.
Requirements
1. Your phone must be rooted
2. Xposed framework must be installed first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
3. Xposed library 2.2 is required
Instructions
Install the module
Run Xposed Installer and enable the module Xperia Stamina LED
Reboot the phone
Source code
You can find source code for this module from GitHub here.
Download
Xposed Module Repository | Play Store
Well how about that, I finally got my Stamina working and I notice this white-only LED and went on adventure on how to fix this and here you were. Thanks man, gonna try right away and report back.
I don't really know what the purpose of this module is.
The LED remains active in Stamina mode since I believe the 4.2. update for the Xperia Z in mid 2013 or even earlier in one of the newer 4.1. official firmwares...
The same goes for the Z1 and Z1 compact so there is really no need for it.
People don't even need root as it is active with stock Sony firmware.

Umm... I had some trouble with Stamina so I used the SuperStamina.apk from Existenz' rom v5. Then it worked but LED with white when stamina was active... and that is based on 10.4.B.0.569 which is afaik 4.3... So, I dont know.. I thought it was supposed to be fixed as well, but apparently not? This module helped...
Still, stamina is some wonky ****, it's like its random whether or not it works.

Then you're very fortunate that the LED continue to work properly when stamina mode is enabled. For many other Xperia devices (I'm using ZR and many other 2012 models), Sony decided to disable LED or make it to display white color only when stamina mode is enabled. Previously people had to mod the SuperStamina.apk to restore LED, now I hope they find it easier with this Xposed module.

Works great on Z1 Compact with firmware 14.3.A.0.757 (Android 4.4.2).

I just used instant messaging apps to test. Make sure they're not on the exception list. Turn phone screen off without being in the charger. Then make someone write you. If stamina works the message will only get delivered once screen is turned on.

I use a similar method as Kocayine to verify if stamina mode is working or not. The only thing different is I use Whatsapp instead of SMS because Whatsapp allows you to define the LED color while SMS always use white LED for me.
Anyway, you can post your Xposed log here for me to check.

I may have misunderstood Kocayine's post about malfunctioning stamina mode as I thought it didn't relate to the Xposed framework or the specific module discussed here but describe a general issue with some xperia devices. The Xposed framework isn't installed on my phone yet.
However, with stamina mode (supposedly) turned on and screen off, the SMS app will indicate an incoming message with a purple/blueish LED notification. Turning on the screen, I will immediately see the message in the minimised notification area. Now, depending on the way I access the SMS app, the message will appear instantly or with some delay. If I - somehow - get to the conversations overview screen, the new message (or more exactly a preview of it) is shown immediately; if the respective conversation already has been on the screen (or I move there through the app switching thingy), the new message may take half a second to appear. It is very similar with Skype except that, in Skype, LED notifications sometimes do appear when the screen is off and sometimes not.

It doesn't relate to xposed framework. It's a general thing afaik. Btw, don't use SMS, stamina always allows SMS and calls. Instant messaging isn't SMS but something like WhatsApp, FB messenger or indeed Skype. The notification should be delayed until screen is on. Including vibration, vibrating and sound.
In Skype, with the screen off, it goes like that:
Skype running in the background
An incoming message will trigger a sound and a purple notification. When turning the screen on, the notification changes from purple to deep blue and seems to stay that way until I open Skype.
Skype running in the foreground
An incoming message is not indicated in any way. After turning on the screen, the rest is the same as above ...
Now, Skype, being all buggy (on Android even more than on Win) may not be the best test here, I guess.
Thank you! It works perfect and it solves one of my biggest annoyances of my XZ!

Sent from my D6503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I never mentioned vibrations!!!
I should have explained it a little better though
when you make or receive a call and you are on the phone the screen turns off and disables all button presses because the proximity sensor is covered
but even though the display is off and the sensor is covered you can still press buttons whilst on the phone
so far I have tried sending a text
cut people off
muted the phone
put the phone in to airplane mode
added events to my calendar
and more
all this with the side of my face while in a call
