Any help/hints on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. We first
observed this in the calculator app and really want to fix this. (LP:
#1428606)

Title:
  Disabling haptics in the system settings only affects Unity8 and a few
  system apps

Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  How to reproduce:

  1) Uncheck "Other vibrations" in System Settings > Sound
  2) Open the dialer and press a few buttons
  3) You will notice that the phone does not vibrate when pressing a button
  4) Now open the clock app and press a few buttons
  5) The selection in the system settings does not seem to affect the clock app and the phone still vibrates when pressing an AbstractButton or a derived item

  Components to which the setting does apply:

  * Unity 8
  * System Settings
  * Dialer
  * Messaging app
  * Address book

  Components to which it does NOT apply:

  * Webbrowser
  * Camera
  * Clock
  * Terminal app
  * File manager
  * Document viewer
  * Any click app from the store which I have tried so far

  Debugging efforts so far:

  I have added a few console.log() calls and saw that in Haptics.qml,
  when the play() method is called, vibra.otherVibrate is true. So it
  seems as if the ServiceProperties object fails to fetch the proper
  value when running the aforementioned apps.

  A few observations:

  * All apps for which it works are legacy (e.g. non-click) applications.
  * However, the webbrowser app is a legacy one, too, but it doesn't work there.
  * All apps for which it works run unconfined.
  * However, the terminal and the file manager apps are unconfined, too.
  * The apps for which it works seem to use the most recent UITK version.
  * However, the document viewer does that as well.
