Modern smartphones like the Xiaomi Mi 10S offer users a wide range of tactile experiences designed to improve interaction with the device. However, for many owners, constant vibration when typing or navigating the menu becomes an annoying factor, distracting from work or rest.
The MIUI operating system you have installed on your gadget has many levels of tactile response customization. Users often have difficulty finding a single "turn off all" button, but the system is more complex, and you'll have to check multiple menu sections in succession to get rid of unwanted vibrations.
In this article, we will discuss in detail all possible ways to disable tactile feedback. We will touch on the system vibration settings, the parameters of the virtual keyboard Gboard or Sogou, as well as specific accessibility features. Complete disabling of all vibration types on the Xiaomi 10 S is possible only through sequential configuration of each partition separately.
Basic setup of system vibration
The first step to silence is to go to the basics of the audio, which is where the overall tactile response level of the interface is adjusted, and first you need to unlock your Xiaomi 10S screen and find the Settings icon, which usually looks like a gear.
In the menu that opens, you scroll down to the sound section, and in different versions of MIUI, this item can be called "Sound and Vibration" or just "Sounds," and there are sliders that regulate the volume of media, the bell, and, importantly for us, the vibration.
- 📱 Find the Silent Vibration slider and move it to the far left position if you want complete silence.
- 🔔 Turn off the “Touch Vibration” option to remove the interface response.
- 🔕 Make sure that all types of device shake are also disabled in the “No Sound” profile.
It’s worth noting that even after the main vibration is turned off, some apps may have their own settings that override system constraints, so it’s important to check the notification settings for specific messengers if they continue to vibrate.
⚠️ Note: When the system vibration is completely turned off, you will no longer feel a tactile response when you press app icons for a long time, which is part of the Quick Ball functionality or the multitasking menu.
Vibration management when typing
Most often, users want to remove the vibration of the keyboard, as it occurs every time you click on the letter. Xiaomi 10S can default to the Gboard keyboard from Google or proprietary Sogou. The process of disconnecting in them is slightly different, but the logic is the same.
If you use a standard Gboard keyboard, you have to click on the gear icon that appears on the text prediction bar, or go to the language and input settings. In the Settings menu, find the Preferences section. This is where the switch that controls tactile output when printing is hidden.
For users who prefer Sogou or other third-party solutions, the path may look different. Usually you need to pin a comma or a special menu button on the keyboard itself to call the contextual settings menu. Next, look for the item "Sound and vibration" inside the keyboard application.
☑️ Checking the keyboard settings
It's important to understand the difference between the sound of the keys and the vibration of the keys, so you can leave the sound behind the typing, but you can completely remove the physical vibration, or vice versa, and this allows you to flexibly customize the device to your personal preferences.
Advanced availability settings
The Android operating system that runs MIUI has a special section for people with disabilities, and paradoxically, this is where you often hide settings that you can't find in the regular audio menu. If previous methods didn't work, here you go.
Go to Settings, then select Advanced Settings and find Special Opportunities, which may have a system vibrator or other services that cause jitters activated in the list of services, and check the Audibility Improvement section, which sometimes duplicates the vibration settings.
| Section | Parameter | Recommended action |
|---|---|---|
| Sound and vibration | Vibration on touch | Turn it off. |
| Keyboard settings | Vibration on recruitment | Turn it off. |
| Special opportunities | Vibration of the system | Check status. |
| Silent mode | Vibration in silence | Turn it off. |
Some users find that the vibration returns after the device is restarted, which may be due to third-party apps recovering their settings, in which case it is worth checking the list of newly installed programs.
Why can the vibration come back?
Vibration settings for calls and notifications
The vibrations that accompany incoming calls and messages deserve special attention. The Xiaomi 10S features a convenient audio profile setting menu. You can create your own profile where the vibration is turned off completely, but visual notifications are saved.
To set this up, go to Sound and Vibration and select Vibration, where you can choose the vibration style to call, and if you choose No, the device will stop vibrating when you call in, even if you have Sound mode, which is a useful feature for meetings or cinemas.
- 📞 For calls: Select the No style in the call vibration settings menu.
- 💬 For messages: in the notification settings of a particular application (e.g, SMS or WhatsApp) disable the “Vibration” setting».
- ⏰ For alarm clock: make sure that the clock settings also tick off the Vibration item if you don’t want to wake up from the shaking of your phone.
There's also a Pocket Mode feature that can cause a short vibration when you pull the phone out of your pocket, which prevents accidental tapping, but can be perceived as an unnecessary signal.
⚠️ Warning: Turning off the vibration for the alarm clock may cause you to miss an important event if you don't hear the beep.
Use of the "Do Not Disturb" mode
For a temporary solution to a problem where you need to quickly provide silence, the “Do Not Disturb” mode is ideal. On the Xiaomi 10S, it has flexible settings that allow you to completely ban any vibration and sound, except in emergency cases.
You can activate this mode through the notification curtain (swipe from top to bottom) or through the settings menu. In the Do Not Disturb mode settings, you can set a schedule, for example, automatically turn it on every night from 23:00 to 07:00, this will save you from night vibrations.
It's important to check for exceptions. Even in this mode, you can get notifications from favorite contacts or re-calls. If your goal is absolute silence, make sure that all exceptions are disabled and the Vibration option is set to "Never."
💡
Use the Xiao AI or Google Assistant voice assistant by saying “Enable Do Not Disturb” to quickly activate silence without searching for menus.
Diagnostics and elimination of problems with vibromotor
Sometimes users want to turn off the vibration not because it interferes, but because it is not working correctly: it buzzes, cracks or turns on on itself. Xiaomi 10S has a diagnostic tool built in to help determine whether the hardware module is working properly.
To check, go to the Services app (or Tools), select Diagnostics, and find a vibration test. The device should emit a short, clear pulse. If you hear rattles or vibrations intermittent, there may be a problem with the hardware or moisture.
If the vibration occurs randomly without user action, it may indicate a sticking button or volume, or a software conflict, in which case resetting to factory settings may help, but this is an extreme measure.
💡
Constant chaotic vibration without notifications often indicates a malfunction of the proximity sensor or power button, rather than a software failure.
