How to Turn Off Notification Vibration on Xiaomi: 5 Proven Ways

Vibration notifications on Xiaomi smartphones can be a useful feature, but often it is annoying - especially at night or in quiet rooms. Many MIUI users face the problem: even after turning off the sound in the profile "No Sound" vibration continues to work. In this article, we will discuss all possible ways to turn off vibration, from standard settings to hidden parameters of the developer.

The feature of MIUI firmware is that the vibration settings may vary depending on the version (12, 13, 14) and the smartphone model (Redmi Note 12, Poco X5, Xiaomi 13T, etc.). We will look at universal methods, as well as nuances for specific devices. If you want to get rid of vibration forever, this guide is for you.

1. Standard vibration shutdown in MIUI settings

The most obvious way is to use the built-in MIUI options, but many users miss key points, which keeps the vibration active.

1. Open the Settings. → Sound and vibration.
2. Go to the Vibration section (some models call it Vibration and Tactile Response).
3. Turn off the Vibration slider at notifications.
4. Scroll down and deactivate Vibration when touched (if you need to turn it off completely).

⚠️ Attention: MIUI 14 in some regional firmware, the notification vibration may not be present.

If the vibration is still working after these actions, the problem may be:

• 📱 Individual application settings (e.g. WhatsApp or Viber ignore system settings).
• 🔄 System cache – sometimes cleaning is required (more on this below).
• 🛠️ Hidden Developer Parameters That Redefined Standard Settings.

2. Disabling vibration for individual applications

Some messengers and social networks (Telegram, Instagram, Facebook) have their own vibration settings, which do not depend on the system.

1. Go to Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. Select the application you want (such as Telegram).
3. Go to Notifications.
4. Turn off Vibration slider or select the No Vibration option in the style list.

💡 Useful advice: B MIUI 13/14 You can massively turn off vibration for all notifications via the Settings menu → Notifications → Additional settings → Notification vibrations. But this is not in all firmware.

If the app doesn’t have separate vibration settings, but it still works, try:

• 📵 Disable notifications for this app completely (but then you won’t receive alerts).
• 🔄 Clear the app cache in the Warehouse menu.
• 📥 Update the app – sometimes vibration bugs are fixed in new versions.

3.Using Do Not Disturb (DND) mode

Do Not Disturb (DND) mode in MIUI allows you to flexibly adjust alerts, including vibrations, to turn off vibration via DND:

1. Go to Settings → Sound and vibration → Do not disturb.
2. Activate the mode and press the Rules.
3. Select Notification Settings → Vibration and turn it off.
4. Set up a schedule or turn on the mode manually.

⚠️ Attention: B MIUI 14 Do Not Disturb mode can reset vibration settings after rebooting. If this happens, use the developer settings (see next section).

If the Do Not Disturb mode doesn’t help, try the combination with the “No Sound” profile:

1. Activate the No Sound profile through the notification panel.
2. Then turn on Do Not Disturb in the settings.
3. Reboot your smartphone.

Critical nuance: On some firmware (MIUI 14 China) item No vibrations are switched off at notifications. ADB-teams (see section 5).

If the vibration is still there after the changes, check:

• 🔄 Have you rebooted your smartphone – some parameters apply only after the reboot.
• 📱 Have you been reset after the update? MIUI (frequent problem on Redmi and Poco).
• 🛠️ Is there any conflict with third-party launchers (for example, Nova Launcher can override vibration).

💡

If the developer’s options do not have the right items, try resetting the network settings: → SIM-maps and mobile networks → Resetting the network settings. Sometimes it restores hidden options.

5. Completely shutting down vibration via ADB (for power users)

If all previous methods fail, the system-level vibration is disabled using ADB, which is suitable for MIUI 14 China and other firmware that does not have standard settings.

• 🖥️ Computer with installed ADB-driver.
• 📱 Included Debugging by USB smartphone.
• 🔌 USB-cable (preferably original).

Step-by-step:

1. Connect your smartphone to your PC and open the Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (macOS/Linux).
2. Enter the command to check the connection: Adb devices should appear the name of your device.
3. Turn off vibration for notifications: adb shell settings put global vibration_intensity 0
4. Disable tactile feedback: adb shell settings put system haptic_feedback_enabled 0
5. Reboot your smartphone: adb reboot

⚠️ Attention: After update MIUI setting ADB To avoid this, create a script to automatically apply commands when you connect to a PC.

If the vibration returns, check:

• 🔄 Haven't the permits been revoked? ADB (Sometimes you need to reconfirm on your smartphone).
• 📱 Does the antivirus (e.g. Mi Security) block changes in system settings.
• 🛠️ Do you have any problems with Magisk modules (if you have root).

6. Alternative methods: third-party applications and root

If you don't want to mess with ADB, you can use third-party utilities or get root rights. Let's look at both.

Method 1: Applications for Vibration Control

Google Play has apps that allow you to adjust the vibration flexibly:

• 📱 Vibration Tuner – adjusts vibration intensity for notifications and calls.
• 🔕 Silent Mode – Blocks vibration at a given time.
• 🛠️ MacroDroid – Creates automatic rules to turn off vibrations (e.g. at night).

⚠️ Attention: MIUI 14 some applications may not work due to system limitations. Check the reviews for your model before installing (Redmi Note 12, Poco) F5 etc.).

Method 2: Turn off vibration through root

If you have root rights, you can completely delete the system files that are responsible for the vibration.

1. Install Root Explorer or FX File Explorer.
2. Go to /system/vendor/overlay/.
3. Find files called vibration* or haptic*.
4. Rename them by adding the.bak extension (e.g. vibration.xml.bak).
5. Reboot your smartphone.

💡 Useful tip: Before deleting system files, make a backup copy through TWRP Or OrangeFox. Incorrect actions can lead to loss of functionality (for example, haptic feedback will stop working when dialing).

7. Frequent problems and their solutions

Even after the vibration is turned off, it can reappear, and let's look at the typical causes and ways to eliminate them.

If none of these methods worked, try:

• 🔄 Reset all settings to factory (but it will delete all data!).
• 📥 Update MIUI until the latest version - sometimes bugs with vibration are corrected in patches.
• 🛠️ Refuse the smartphone to the global version MIUI (If you have Chinese firmware).
