Each smartphone owner tries to customize his gadget according to his personal tastes and needs, as well as remove unnecessary and annoying functions. Users often wonder how to turn off vibration on the Android keyboard. In this article we will answer it.
Disable vibration when typing
So, to remove vibration from your phone keyboard, you need to follow a few simple steps.
Step 1: Launch Settings, go to the category " System and device" and select the section " Additionally».
Step 2. Select " Language and input».
Step 4: Go to Keyboard Settings.
Step 5. Slide the " Vibration when pressing keys" to position " Turned off».
Conclusion
With these simple steps you can turn off vibration on your Android device. It is worth noting that in different versions of the operating system, the path to the keyboard settings may differ from those given in this guide, but they are always located in the section with language and input settings.
A very convenient feature of phones and tablets is the ability to signal calls or messages not only with sound, but also with vibration. This notification method is convenient, for example, for important meetings or work situations - colleagues are not distracted and the message is not missed. But in addition to these functions, vibration also accompanies the virtual keyboard. And if your device has vibration feedback for typing by default, you can spend a lot of time and effort before turning it off.
How to enable or disable keyboard vibration response through smartphone settings
- Go to the “Language and Input” tab.
- In the “Android Keyboard” block, select “Settings”.
- Uncheck the box next to “Vibration response of keys” - and voila! Annoying vibration is disabled. If you need to turn the vibration back on, do it the same way.

Vibration settings for calls and notifications in Android
Setting a vibration signal for calls or messages is a topic that deserves a separate analysis. Modern smartphones usually have several modes built into them for calls and notifications of various kinds, which, however, can be configured independently. By default, their parameters are usually the following:
- Normal - ringer sound is on, vibration intensity is medium, screen locking and unlocking sounds are on.
- No sound - all sounds are turned off, all types of vibration are turned off.
- Meeting - all sounds are turned off, vibration is on.
- On the street - maximum volume and intensity of vibration.
In normal mode, you can enable or disable vibration feedback, key sounds, and select a ringtone.
Create a custom audio profile
- If you need to set up a completely customized profile, this can be done by creating a so-called custom audio profile (via the menu button in the upper right corner of the screen).
- Let's call it "My Profile".
- Click on it and select “Edit”.
- Then you can, for example, leave the phone’s vibration response and the sound when you press keys, but turn off the sounds when you press the screen and lock the screen. Vibration feedback in this context means the phone vibrates when you press the “Menu”, “Home” and “Back” keys - there is no response when you touch the screen.
- To save your profile, simply exit back to the profile menu. Connect the newly created profile.
In previous versions of Android, there was an option to adjust the vibration intensity for calls, messages, and vibration feedback. You can configure it through the “Sounds and notifications” settings item by dragging the slider.
The “Tactile feedback” item, by the way, implies the screen responds to all possible touches. In Android 5.1, for example, there is no such feature - only vibration in response to keypresses.
Customize Vibrancy: control vibration modes and intensity
To enhance vibration, there is software that can be found freely available on the Play Store. Such applications include, for example, Customize Vibrancy.
On the play market the application looks like this:
The description of the program is quite promising. According to it, you can configure not only vibration for calls and notifications, but also adjust its intensity, rhythm (for example, make the phone vibrate to the rhythm of the Imperial March or Smoke on the Water), as well as vibration alerts when connecting/disconnecting the Internet and many useful options for calls. In particular, you can connect a vibration signal to connect with a subscriber - then you don’t have to listen to beeps, but calmly hold the phone in your hand, going about your business, until it vibrates. Or you can, for example, set vibration for every minute of a call after a certain duration of the conversation.
The program looks simple - one window, which lists possible settings: enable/disable vibration for an incoming call, for picking up the handset, for ending a call, for SMS and others. With a long press you can go to the vibration selection menu.
The plus sign in the upper right corner is another specific feature of the application. It allows you to record your own “melody” of vibration by clicking on the screen, even translating Morse code - you can enter a word or phrase into a line, and the program will encrypt it into short and long signals. In the settings you can change the length of the time unit, which is equal to a point in Morse code.
The Customize Vibration functionality is undoubtedly interesting. But there is an unpleasant moment: on Android 5.1, for example, the program not only does not work - the user is thrown to the desktop the first time they try to change the vibration for incoming calls. Judging by user reviews, many people encounter this problem. The application may work better for other versions of the operating system.
Access to advanced settings - engineering menu
To access advanced settings, you can use the engineering menu. For devices on a Mediatek processor, entering the engineering menu is done by typing a code that actually “enters” this menu.
Table: codes for entering the engineering menu
The parameters that can be adjusted in the menu should be changed with caution. For example, before changing the speaker volume or microphone sensitivity, it is better to write down the set parameters in case something goes wrong and you need to change them to the original ones.
Another way to open the engineering menu is to download a program that will allow you to go there. There are many of them on the Play Store: at the request of Engineer Mode, at least a dozen suitable applications appear. These are, for example, MTK Engineering Mode, Engineer Mode Test Tool or MTK Engineering App. As for the possible vibration settings, you can find several functions that were introduced in Customize Vibrancy - vibration feedback when connecting or disconnecting a call, for example. Adjusting the vibration intensity, by the way, is not noted in the menu: many more functions relate to audio settings, but vibration is not among the adjustable parameters.

What to do if vibration does not work at all or suddenly disappears
Yes, this happens too. If, for example, the phone stops vibrating at all during incoming calls (which may be completely inappropriate when waiting for an important call, for example), the first thing to do is check and double-check the audio profile settings. It may happen that you accidentally switched to the mode without vibration - then there is no problem as such.
If everything is fine with audio profiles, the reason may lie either in the equipment itself or in application problems. In the first case, it is optimal to immediately take the phone to a service center, but some users offer a slightly “barbaric” method, which, nevertheless, works for many. If the vibration disappears due to the vibration motor coming loose, you can try to dial your number from another phone and lightly tap the phone on your palm during the call - there is a chance that this will help put the motor back in place. If it doesn’t help or suspicions fall on firmware problems, it’s better not to risk it and still take the phone to a technician.
So, if you have a problem or question related to the vibration settings of your Android device, you are already familiar with most of the methods. The main thing is to know where exactly to configure certain parameters, and to be as careful as possible in the engineering menu and not accidentally “increase” too much.
You can adjust the volume level on your device, as well as change the ringtone, vibration settings, and notification sound.
How to turn the volume down or up
If you press the volume buttons when nothing is playing on your device, the media volume will change. To change the volume for other sounds, such as ringtones, follow these steps:
Note. Volume buttons increase or decrease the audio volume for the current audio source. For example, if you are watching a movie, the media volume changes.

With the basic settings installed on new Xiaomi smartphones, vibration response is always activated. It doesn't bother some people, but it annoys others terribly. For this reason, many users immediately after the purchase try to find that treasured lever that will save them from the annoying “buzzing”. It is for such users that we have prepared today’s article. In it we will talk in detail about how to turn off vibration on Xiaomi in just a few seconds.
When does the phone vibrate?
The smartphone can “shake” in three cases:
- When the user uses the touch buttons (located below the screen).
- When typing on the keyboard.
- When calling when the call is set to silent.
We will talk in detail about each of these cases.
Silent operation of touch keys
How to disable key vibration? Pretty easy. Go to the “Settings” menu, and then to the “Personalization” section. In it we find the column “Sound & vibration”. This is exactly what we need.
In this dialog box there will be a line “Vibration response”. We tap on it and a window appears with possible options for its operation. To turn it off completely, activate the slider opposite the “No” position.
Afterwards, when you press the menu keys, you will not feel any extraneous “buzzing”. But at the same time, of all the buttons, one will still “tremble”. On Xiaomi Redmi 4x, 5, 5A and others, this is a fingerprint scanner located on the back of the device. In the Mi 5 model, this is a mechanical Home key installed on the front part under the display. Unfortunately, it is not possible to turn off vibration on Xiaomi for these buttons.
Silent keyboard operation
In the basic configuration, even if you set the Xiaomi phone to silent mode, typing will still not be silent.
Before turning off vibration on the keyboard, go to the smartphone options and look for the “Advanced” column. It contains the “Language and Input” menu. In the dialog box that opens, select the keyboard that is set as the main one and tap on it.
GBoard
GBoard is the most installed keyboard on Android (aka QWERTY). To disable the “buzzing” sound when entering text on the GBoard, you need to go to its settings menu and in the “Vibration when pressing keys” window, move the slider to the left.
SwiftKey
Another popular type of keyboard on Android is SwiftKey.
You can turn off the vibration response of the keys on SwiftKey in the “Input” menu – “Sounds and vibration”. In the last window you just need to deactivate the slider.
Silent incoming call
To disable it when there is an incoming call, you need to open the “Settings” menu – “Sound & vibration” and in the “Vibrate on call” dialog box, deactivate the slider. After this, any incoming calls will be completely silent.
“Buzzing” again
It happens that you set everything up, used your phone normally for several days/days/months, but suddenly the “buzzing” of keys or incoming calls returned. This can be caused by a number of reasons, but first of all, there is no need to panic:
- The main reason is a glitch after updating the system/s or keyboard. This problem occurs very often. To make your phone silent again, follow the steps described above.
- Another reason is a system glitch. This happens without updating it, but then, for example, when you reboot the device or completely reset your smartphone.
We hope we explained as simply as possible how to turn off vibration on Xiaomi phones.
The vibration response on a modern phone is often very useful and allows you to receive a signal about a new event on the device without creating a sound signal, which is inappropriate in a number of cases. But there are situations when the vibration of a mobile device can cause irritation. For example, not everyone likes the vibration response on the device when connecting during a call. That is why users often look for the option to disable this function. In this article, we will explain in detail how to turn off vibration on Lenovo and Samsung smartphones easily and without unnecessary problems. For Android smartphones of other brands, everything is done in almost the same way.

Disable the vibration function for incoming calls and screen touches
When an incoming call arrives, the communicator (depending on which mode is set) begins to play a melody. At the moment of connection with a subscriber, he can turn on a vibration signal. It can be disabled through the device settings. For different smartphone models and different versions of Android, the steps to disabling vibration feedback may differ.
Let's turn off vibration on your Lenovo smartphone. This can be done in a few simple steps:
1. Go to menu "Settings".
2. Click on the item "Sound Profiles". After this, a selection of four main profiles will open in front of you.
3. Select the profile that you use.
4. To cancel vibration when calling, simply uncheck the box next to the line "Vibration".
5. To remove the vibration response function when touching the smartphone display, go down a little in the menu and remove the check mark next to the item "Touch Screen Sounds".
Most communication devices from Lenovo with OS Android 4.2.1 and higher allow you to deactivate vibration exactly as described above. In fact, vibration can also be turned off on smartphones manufactured by Samsung. The only caveat here is that in some versions of Android the necessary settings may not be located quite standardly, but finding them should not be difficult.
Owners of phones from the South Korean giant can turn off vibration by following the following instructions:
1. Open the item "Settings".
2. Next, click on the tab "Options" (in some versions of Android developers called it "My device")
.
3. Go to the tab "Sound".
4. Uncheck "Vibrate when calling".
5. Perform similar actions regarding the item "Feedback".
If you did everything as described, then your smartphone will no longer vibrate when you touch its screen or connect to a subscriber.
Disable vibration response when typing
The phone was originally designed for voice communication, but today many of us type hundreds or even thousands of text characters on it every day, so the presence of constant vibration in this process can be irritating. In addition, do not forget about the battery charge, which is discharged even faster due to the operation of the vibration motor. Disabling the vibration response on Lenovo devices is done by performing the following steps:
1. Open the menu on your phone "Settings".
2. Go to "Language and input".
3. In the list of keyboards that opens, click on the gear icon next to the item "Google keyboard".
4. Select "Settings".
5. Uncheck the box next to the line "Vibration response of keys".
Using this instruction will help you get rid of vibration of the keys on most Lenovo devices running on the Android 4.x.x mobile OS.
For numerous Samsung smartphones there are almost similar instructions:
1. Open the menu "Settings".
2. Select an item "Options"(or in some versions the item "My device").
3. After that, go to the item "Language and input".
4. Check the box "Samsung Keyboard".
5. In the settings that appear, cancel vibration.
Performing these steps will make it possible to deactivate phone vibration when printing text information. On the same menu page you can disable the key sound.
Turn off vibration using the app
We looked at disabling intrusive vibration based on two brands of phones, but for many others everything is almost the same. However, it is possible that you may encounter an Android device in which it will be difficult to find the necessary items. We took this into account, so you can resort to third-party applications as a lifesaver. For example, one of these Customize Vibrancy.
The main functionality of this application is the ability to set vibrations for various events, as well as completely disable them. The application is available for download in the official store Google Play.
With this we say goodbye to you and hope that our advice was useful to you!
