    I just noticed that the new version of the bb launcher now has a vibration when pressing a key shortcut... is there any way to disable that?

    Just checked and it was already disabled. I enabled it then set it back to disabled and it's still vibrating when opening an app with a key shortcut...

    Not sure what to tell you. Works for me fine. Just tested with it on... vibrates... with it off... doesn't vibrate. Maybe reboot?

    Same here...
    This new feature is really annoying.

    as all the IT guys say, turn it off and back on again? worst case battery saver mode disables a lot of vibration so there's always that...

    Long-press shortcuts still work on my KEYone, but there is a bit of a hesitation for the app to launch after the vibration. Telus version on AAW377 if that makes a difference.

    I also found out today that my shortcuts stopped working and only produced vibration. If I switch the 'Typing action' in launcher settings to 'Use a short-press keyboard shortcut' it starts to work again but I cannot type to search from the launcher. This is annoying. Hopefully this is corrected soon. And I also hope that the April update will be coming soon with WiFi fixes...

    Am having the same issue.
    Seems like the Launcher update made things go bonkers.
    I usually don't update BlackBerry apps until I check the Forums here, but I just threw caution to the wind and did it this time and look what happens! Ahahahah.

    Same here, no sohrtcuts, just a vibration. The phone isn't that old! Tried the 32 second reset, same and even reassigning the keys fine. The "test" option in the settings still shortcuts, just not the keyboard. Grrr!

    Same issue here, got an update last night.

    If my Typing Action is set to Device Search (default for the Priv), long press just vibes and does nothing.

    If my Typing Action is switched to Short Press shortcut, it works again, but takes some time for action to be carried out.

    I couldn't even report the issue to BlackBerry... neither BlackBerry Smartphones nor BlackBerry Hub+ support options are valid.

    Can confirm the new 'press and hold' notification feature does not appear to work on non-BlackBerry devices running the BlackBerry launcher (Pixel 2, Android 8.1, April security patch). Also, there was an update to BlackBerry Hub+ services App as well. The BlackBerry services icon is now displayed permanently in the top left off the icon tray; when you try and turn it off as a notifications option for that app, instead on disappearing it displays a system message that the app is using battery...and there is no way to get rid on it, even if you turn off notifications for the app completely.
