When does vibration work?
This option accompanies many actions performed on the phone.
It is active when:
- typing on the keyboard;
- incoming calls;
- notifications;
- SMS messages;
- alarm clock;
- pressing touch keys.
Vibration cannot be turned off in one step for all items at once, since for some it helps with calls, and for others everywhere, except, for example, an alarm clock. Therefore, each section is regulated separately.
Silent operation of touch keys
On almost all smartphones, a slight “buzzing” sound is felt when pressing touch keys. Disable it like this:
- Go to Settings.
- Go to the Personalization section.
- Select Sound and Vibration.
- After these steps, a new window will open in which you should select Vibration Feedback and disable it by dragging the slider in the opposite direction.
If everything is done correctly, then immediately after these actions the buzzing will disappear. Some models will require an additional reboot.
On a note!
On some phone models, one of the buttons will continue to vibrate even after changing the settings. This is due to the fact that they have a fingerprint scanner on the back side. For example, this is typical for Xiaomi Redmi 4x, 5 and 5A smartphones. It is impossible to disable this function on them.
Disable vibration when pressing buttons
Pressing buttons includes the operation of the entire sensor - clicks on application icons, on the “Back”, “Home”, “Menu” keys, etc.
Instructions:
- Go to Settings.
- Scroll down the page a little and find the “Sound” section.
- Next, click on the “Vibration Feedback” tab.
- In this small menu, you can either adjust the vibration intensity or turn it off completely by pressing the “Off” key.
Ready. Now there will be no recoil when pressing the buttons.
On some Xiaomi models (usually older ones), turning off vibration feedback looks a little different, since the “Settings” themselves have a different look.
Instructions:
- Open Settings.
- Find the "Sound" section.
- Next, you will see items from which you can remove the vibration response, for example, “When making a call.”
- Scrolling a little lower, you will see the “Advanced” section, in which the deactivation function for the sensor is located – “Vibration on touch”.
Ready.
The only vibration that cannot be turned off is the response when scanning a fingerprint.
Disable key vibration
Turning off vibration feedback on the keyboard is much easier than when typing. To do this, you need to go back to the device settings and select “Sound and vibration” there.
And select the “no” line.
Now, when pressing any keys, the owner of the device will not feel vibration feedback. It will only be saved when using the fingerprint scanner.
Disable vibration for incoming calls
Quite often, the Silent mode does not guarantee that you will not be distracted. Vibrating calls can interfere with work, study, or simply concentrate on something. Therefore, many people use further recommendations.
Instructions:
- Open Settings.
- Find the Sound tab under Personalization.
- Then go to “Vibrate on calls” and move the slider in the opposite direction.
Ready.
Setting vibration response
Xiaomi Redmi 4x has a very convenient function - vibration response setting. With its help, you can adjust the strength - weak, medium or strong signal. By default, the entire line of Xiaomi smartphones is set to the average level. To change it, you need to go to the “Sound and Vibration” section and in the “Vibration Response” subsection set the desired level. It is noteworthy that when selecting the “weak” line, users will feel almost no impact, as when the option is completely turned off.
In addition to the situations discussed, smartphone owners also ask other questions. For example, “Is it possible to turn off vibration from incoming notifications while on a phone call?” The developers agree that this is very inconvenient, but it is impossible to disable this option.
Some Xiaomi users do not like the vibration signal that occurs when the other person answers during an outgoing call. To disable it, you need to go to the system applications menu in your phone settings and select the “Phone” subsection there. In the advanced settings we will see the line “Vibration when the interlocutor answers”; you can turn it off completely or change it to a weaker one.
To turn off vibration when an alarm goes off, you need to go to its settings and make the “Vibrate when alarm” line inactive.
How to disable vibration on Xiaomi keyboard
Vibration while typing can be very annoying when typing large amounts of text or when the user uses the keyboard frequently.

If the vibration alert does not work
Often, users of Xiaomi products experience problems with the vibration response. If the option does not work, there may be several reasons:
- custom settings have been set. The owner disabled the function and forgot about it. To activate the vibration signal, you should use the instructions described above;
- The device is frozen. In such a scenario, the solution is to reboot the mobile phone;
- problems with the firmware. In this case, you need to perform a factory reset. Before activation, you must save important files and data. After a reboot they will be unavailable;
- mechanical failure of the motor. If the vibration alert is broken, you will not be able to fix the problem yourself. The only solution is to visit a service center, where an experienced technician will carry out diagnostics and replace the motor with a new one.
Disabling vibration alerts in Xiaomi smartphones is quite simple. You need to go into the settings and make the desired adjustments. After which the phone will no longer cause inconvenience, and its use and typing will not interfere with anyone.
What to do if the vibration returns
There are situations when you adjusted all the points as desired, used the phone like this for some time, but the vibration was activated again.
Why is this happening:
- You may have changed the firmware and all settings have returned to standard because the system has been completely updated. Exit: Configure all options again.
- The system has failed. In this case, most likely, this affected not only vibration, but also other aspects. Exit: reboot the device, check for damage and adjust the vibration again.
How to disable vibration feedback of keys

- select the Sound and vibration section;
- Click Vibration Feedback;
- select No.
These steps are enough to disable key vibration on Xiaomi. After completing the work, make sure that everything is done correctly and that there is no feedback when pressing the buttons. However, the function does not apply to fingerprints if this type of identification is set for different applications. The verification option can be installed either as a separate element or together with the Home button (for example, on Xiaomi Mi 5).
How to disable vibration response when calling
When there is an incoming call, a vibration response also appears, which is set by default and often annoys smartphone owners. To disable such vibration on your Xiaomi phone, follow these steps:
- enter the settings of your mobile device;
- go to the Personalization section;
- select the Sound and vibration section;
- Move the toggle switch Vibrate when calling to the inactive position (to the left).

“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.
When there is an incoming call
A long buzzing sound from the device during a call can also distract you from an important conversation or tasks that require concentration. To turn it off, just move the silent mode slider to the inactive position. It is located in the menu responsible for the gadget’s sound options.
The function is useful, but sometimes it can be very annoying. Taking a minute is enough to simply get rid of the annoying rattling noise and maintain a good mood for the whole day.
