How to completely turn off the vibration of the alarm clock on Xiaomi: all ways

Vibration of the alarm clock on Xiaomi smartphones can be a real problem, especially if you sleep sensitively or share a bed with someone who wakes up from the slightest vibration. Although the vibration function is designed to make the awakening more noticeable, many users want to turn it off - either completely or only for the alarm clock, saving tactile feedback for calls and notifications.

In this article, we will discuss all possible ways to turn off the vibration of the alarm clock on Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO devices running different versions of MIUI (including MIUI 14 and HyperOS), learn how to configure the standard Watch application, what hidden options are available in the engineering menu, and what to do if the option to turn off the vibration of Suddenly disappeared after the update, and we will consider alternative solutions for those who can not change the settings through standard means.

It’s important to understand that the interface and layout of options may vary depending on the phone model and firmware version. For example, on the Xiaomi 13 Pro with HyperOS, the path to alarm settings will differ from the Redmi Note 10 on MIUI 12.5. So we’ll give you universal instructions and point out key differences for different devices.

Why does the vibration of the alarm clock not turn off?

Before we get to the instructions, let’s understand why the vibration of the alarm clock sometimes behaves unpredictable:

• 🔄 Settings conflict: In some versions MIUI The alarm clock's vibration parameters are duplicated in several menus (for example, in the "Hours" and in the "Sounds"). Changing one of them may not have an effect if the second one remains on.
• 📱 Features of the model: On budget devices (for example, Redmi) 9A or POCO M3) There is often no separate vibration setting for the alarm clock – it can only be turned off globally.
• 🔧 Failures after update: After installing the new version MIUI or HyperOS, some settings may be reset or hidden (e.g., in the MIUI 14 Option to Turn Off the Wake Up Vibration Moved to Another Menu).
• 🎵 Alarm melody connection: If you use a custom tune (e.g., loaded into a phone’s memory), the system may ignore vibration settings for standard signals.

Also, it is worth considering that on some devices, the vibration of the alarm clock is tied to the Do Not Disturb mode. If it is activated but configured to skip alarms, the vibration can work regardless of the basic parameters.

Method 1: Turn off vibration through the “Clock” application

The most obvious and versatile method is to change the settings directly in the Clock app, which is responsible for alarm clocks. The interface may be slightly different, but the general logic is maintained:

1. Open the “Clock” app** (icon with dial).
2. Go to the “Alarm” tab (usually at the bottom of the screen).
3. Click on an existing alarm or create a new one (+ button).
4. In the alarm clock editing menu, look for the option “Vibration” or “Sound and vibration”.

If you have MIUI 12.5-14 or HyperOS, the path may look like this:

Watch → Alarm clock → [Select alarm clock] → Sound → Vibration → Turn off

On some models (such as the Xiaomi 12T or POCO F4), the vibration option is hidden behind additional settings. If you don't see it right away, try:

• 🔍 Press three points (⋮) in the upper right corner of the alarm screen.
• 🔧 Select “Additional settings” or “signal settings».
• 🔕 There may be a separate switch for vibration.

Is an alarm clock set in the Clock app?

Is the vibration in the editing menu turned off?

Have you checked the additional settings (three points)?

Are the changes still in place?

Attention! On HyperOS devices (such as the Xiaomi 14 or Redmi K70), the Clock interface may be very different. If you don't find the vibration option, try the alternative from the next section.

Method 2: Global Vibration Shutdown for Alarms

If the Clock app does not have a separate vibration setting for the alarm clock, it can be turned off globally via the Sounds and Vibrations menu, which affects all alarm clocks, but does not affect the vibration of calls or notifications:

1. Open the "Settings"** of the phone.
2. Go to the Sound and Vibration section (or Sound on older versions of MIUI).

On MIUI 14 and HyperOS, the path can look like this:

Settings → Sounds and vibration → Vibration → Alarm Vibration → Disable

If you don’t see the “Alarm Vibration” item, try:

• 🔍 Slide the list of vibration settings down – sometimes the option is hidden.
• 🔧 Enter in the search by settings (lamp at the top of the screen) the request “alarm clock vibration».
• 📱 Reboot your phone – sometimes after an update MIUI settings are loaded incorrectly.

💡

If the alarm clock stopped working after the vibration was turned off, check to see if the Do Not Disturb mode is activated with an exception for alarm clocks. In some versions of MIUI, this can block all signals, including sound.

Important! On some devices (e.g. Redmi Note 11 on MIUI 13), global alarm clock vibration shutdown also removes vibration for timers and reminders. Keep this in mind if you use these features.

Method 3: Use of the Engineering Menu (for advanced users)

If standard methods don’t work, you can try turning off the alarm clock vibration via the engineering menu (#4636##), which is suitable for advanced users, as incorrect changes can cause malfunctions in the phone.

Instructions:

1. Open the Phone app** and enter the combination: ##4636###.

On some Xiaomi models (e.g. Redmi Note 10 Pro), the engineering menu has a separate alarm.vibrate setting that is responsible for the alarm clock vibration.

⚠️ Warning! Changes to the engineering menu can cause the phone to run in an unstable way, including vibration problems when calling or notifying. If you're not sure what you're doing, you'd better use other methods.

Method 4: Alternative Alarm Apps

If Xiaomi’s regular tools don’t allow you to turn off the alarm clock vibration, you can use third-party apps, many of which offer flexible settings, including separate vibration control.

Popular applications:

To turn off vibration in a third-party application:

1. Install the selected application from the Play Market.
2. Create a new alarm clock or import existing alarms.
3. In the alarm settings, find the “Sound” or “Vibration” section.

⚠️ Attention! Some apps (like Sleep as Android) require additional permissions to run in the background, without which the alarm clock may not work:

• 🛡️ Disable battery optimization for the application (Settings) → Battery → Optimizing the battery → Find the app → Shut down).
• 🔔 Allow auto-start (Settings) → Annexes → Autostart control).
• 🔕 Enable notifications for the app.

Method 5: Reset the sound settings (if nothing helps)

If the alarm clock doesn't go off despite all the attempts, it could be a malfunction in the sound settings, in which case it might help to reset the sound parameters to the factory:

1. Open the "Settings"** of the phone.
2. Go to the section "System and device» → «Additionally» → «Resetting settings»**.

This method does not affect personal data (photos, contacts, messages), but resets all audio settings, including:

• 🔊 Loudness of the bell, media and alarm clock.
• 🔕 Vibration modes for notifications and calls.
• 🎵 Customized alarm clock tunes.

Attention! On some devices (e.g, POCO X3 Pro) the option "Reset audio settings" may not be available, in which case you will have to do a full reset (with loss of data) or use ADB-commands for manual resetting of vibration parameters.

💡

Resetting your audio settings is a last resort, and before you do so, make sure you try all other methods, including checking for MIUI updates (sometimes vibration bugs are fixed in new firmware versions).

Frequent Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

When trying to turn off the alarm clock, users often encounter common errors, and here are the most common ones and ways to solve them:

Another common problem is that vibration only works for standard alarm melodies, not custom ones, because Xiaomi sometimes separates settings for system and loaded signals to fix:

• 🎵 Set a standard alarm melody (e.g., “Default by default»**).
• 🔕 Turn off the vibration for her.
• 🔄 Return your tune – the vibration settings should be maintained.
