The position of Jeff, who is our product manager and makes the call about this stuff, is that we can not invest any development time here making this a theme component or making it optional.
I guess that is option (3) out of my 2 options ;).
Your best shot here if you really really want this on your community is to make a marketplace topic and ask someone from the community to build a theme component, it is not a huge task, probably only a few hours of work. It is technically doable in a theme component if you wish.
It’s strange, it used to work for me in Firefox for Android.
But now at each session it asks me if I agree to allow vibrations.
Whether I say yes or no:
I get no vibrations
Next time I close and open Firefox for Android, it will ask me again
But it used to work at some point. Am I the only one like this?
Redmi 7.
Android 9.
Firefox for Android version 68.7.0, no newer versions are available at the moment.
I do have so called haptic feedback (vibrations) on keyboard and on link long press.
But no longer on those heart clicks (even if I try with highest vibration strength).
this seems to be the case for me as well ( moto e4, android 7.1.1, firefox 68.7.0 ) and it has been since this was introduced over on boingboing.
my phone has also been hanging quite a lot lately, and it seems most prone to do so when the vibrate notification popup happens. it’s as if its somehow eating a lot of resources, or sitting in some tight loop.
it’s fine if not much else is going on on my phone, but if i have a bunch of tabs open or other apps – then it’s almost inevitable that i click a “like”, the popup starts to happen, and my phone hangs. ( has happened twice today; reboot required. )
i’ve looked for settings to disable it permanently ( in my user profile ) but haven’t found anything.
I’ll help with this! It’s super annoying. I don’t want vibrate, but much worse, it prompts me several times a day, and I keep having to say “Don’t Allow”! Terrible for users that don’t want it. Where’s the option to avoid that prompt?
but, yeah – while i have gotten a couple of hangs at other times, the popup hang has been relatively consistent. ( it doesn’t happen every time, but often enough. )
tentatively, things seem more stable now that i’ve turned off all lock screen notifications for firefox. so maybe it’s some interaction with moto’s system ui and firefox, and not anything specific to discourse’s interaction with firefox.
I am on Android 10 and latest Chrome (Pixel XL). I believe i have all sounds and vibrations disabled in system settings. How do i disable vibrate on likes on Discourse forums?
As a user this is a bit discouraging. I have an android 7 (I know, old phone) and I have haptic feedback disabled for the whole device. But for some reason the nanowrimo app (which is allegedly a progressive web app that connects to the discourse forums for nano) has haptic feedback on likes. It shouldn’t be able to turn it back on when I have it off for the whole device. Was any progress ever made on this?
I have been on Android 9, Firefox for Android 68.11.0* since its release.
I didn’t have that confirm pop-up for such a long time.
But within the last week or so, I got this pop-up twice again:
Update: I am now trying Android 5.0.2, Firefox for Android 68.2.1 and it’s the same results as on 68.11.0:
I have this pop-up back…
on meta.discourse.org and try.discourse.orgDiscourse 2.8.0.beta8 - https://github.com/discourse/discourse version b86127ad123ce4eede7bc861134f32d9312128d2
but not (yet) on community.metabrainz.orgDiscourse 2.7.10 - https://github.com/discourse/discourse version 626a0e207eff622296a3728002b7f6f2eb33c7c0
So it might be because of a recent change, indeed.
* I must keep this version because it’s the last one to support user scripts through add-ons/extensions like Violentmonkey and I don’t need internet without my user scripts.
