How to completely disable the vibration response on Xiaomi: 5 ways for all models

Vibrational response on Xiaomi smartphones is one of those features that either quietly improves the interaction with the device or annoys you to shivers. If you fall into the second category, welcome to the detailed guide, where we will analyze all possible ways to turn off vibration on devices running MIUI (including the latest versions 14 and 15) and Android 13/14. There is no universal “magic button”, but there are 5 proven methods that work on models from Redmi Note 12 to Xiaomi’s flagship 14 Ultra.

The problem is that the manufacturer has hidden the vibration settings in different menus, and not all of them are obvious. For example, turning off the vibration response when typing does not always remove the vibration when touching the screen or notifications. We structured the instructions by vibration types (keyboard, system events, touches) and added unique solutions for cases where standard settings do not work, such as through ADB or engineering menus. You will also find a table of methods compatibility with popular models and answers to frequent questions that are not covered even in the official documentation of Xiaomi.

1. disable the keyboard vibration response (Gboard, MIUI Keyboard)

Let's start with the most common source of irritation, typing vibrations. There are two types of keyboards in MIUI: the standard MIUI Keyboard (set by default) and Google's Gboard, and the settings are different, so let's look at both.

For MIUI Keyboard:

1. Open any field to enter text (such as notes or a message).
2. Touch the badge. ⚙️ keyboard → Select the keyboard settings.
3. Go to Sound and Vibration → turn off the Vibration slider when pressed.

For Gboard:

• 📱 Open the Settings. → System system → Language and input → Virtual keyboard → Gboard.
• 🔊 Select Settings → Pressed sound → Turn off the vibration when pressed.
• 🔄 If you don’t have a point, update Gboard to Google Play.

⚠️ Attention: On some firmware MIUI (particularly POCO F5 redmi K60) Keyboard settings may be reset after system updates. To avoid this, back up your settings through Settings before you update. → The phone. → Backup.

2. How to remove vibration when touching the screen (tactile response)

Tactile response (or vibration when you press the screen) is a brief jitter of the device when you interact with the interface: opening applications, scrolling through menus or clicking on virtual buttons, and this is turned off through hidden MIUI settings that are not always visible in the main menu.

Instructions for MIUI 14/15:

1. Go to Settings. → Sound and vibration.
2. Scroll down to the Vibration block and select Vibration when touched.
3. Turn off the slider or select the No Vibration option.

If there is no Vibration when touching:

Open Settings → Special Opportunities

Choose Physical Interaction → Vibration.

Turn off touch vibration or tactile response

Restart the device to apply changes-->

💡 Useful tip: On some models (e.g. Xiaomi) 13T) The tactile response can be linked to the Developer Settings. To activate them, go to Settings. → About the phone and 7 times click on the version MIUI. Then go back to the main settings menu, open additionally. → For developers and find the item Disable tactile response.

3. Disable vibration notifications and calls

Vibration for incoming calls, SMS and application notifications is set up separately, and it is important to understand that MIUI separates these parameters into global (for all notifications) and individual (for specific applications).

Global settings:

• 📞 For calls: Settings → Sound and vibration → Vibration on the bell → Choose No Vibration.
• 📩 For notifications: Settings → Notifications → Notification vibration → turn off the slider.

Settings for individual applications:

1. Go to Settings → Notifications → Notifications Management.
2. Select an app (such as WhatsApp or Telegram).
3. Turn off Vibration slider or select No Sound in the Notification Sound section.

⚠️ Warning: On Android 14 devices (such as Xiaomi 14) the alarm clock may disappear after the notification vibration is turned off. To avoid this, check the alarm settings in the Watch app and set a separate sound profile for it.

4. Advanced Methods: ADB and Engineering Menu

If standard settings don’t work (such as on custom firmware or after updates), you’ll have to use hidden tools. We’ll look at two methods: through ADB (for power users) and the engineering menu (for all Xiaomi models).

Method 1: Disabling Vibration Through ADB

This method requires connecting your smartphone to your computer and installing Android Debug Bridge (ADB), which works on 100% of devices, but if used improperly can disrupt the stability of the system.

adb shell settings put global haptic_feedback_enabled 0


adb shell settings put global vibration_intensity 0

Method 2: Engineering Menu (CIT)

• 📱 Open the Phone app and enter the code: ##4636##.
• 🔧 Choose Equipment Testing → Vibration.
• ⚙️ Turn off all sliders associated with Haptic Feedback.

🔧 Key conclusion: Methods through ADB And the engineering menu should only be used if the standard settings don't work, and they give you full control of the vibration, but you need to be careful, because the wrong commands can cause the sensor or speaker to malfunction.

5. Disabling vibration in games and specific applications

Many games (like PUBG Mobile or Genshin Impact) and some apps (like TikTok) have their own vibration settings that are independent of system settings, so you have to dig into the settings of each application separately.

For games:

• 🎮 Open the game settings (usually the icon) ⚙️ main-menu).
• 🔊 Find the Sound/Vibration or Control section.
• ❌ Turn off firing vibration, tactile response or Haptic Feedback.

For social media:

On TikTok and Instagram, the vibration is turned on when you scroll through a feed or interact with content, to remove it:

1. In TikTok: Profile → Settings → Time Balance → Vibration → Turn off.
2. On Instagram: Vibration can only be turned off through system settings (see section 2).

⚠️ Note: In games with support for gamepad (for example, Call of Duty Mobile), disabling vibration can also block the return from the virtual joystick. If you want tactile feedback in games, use vibration profiles:

• 🎯 Create a separate profile in Settings → Sound and vibration → Vibration profiles.
• 🔕 Turn off vibration for everyday tasks, but leave it for play.

Problems and Solutions: Vibration does not turn off

Sometimes even after you've applied all the settings, the vibration keeps working, and this can be due to:

• 🔄 Firmware failure (especially after update) MIUI).
• 📱 Hardware failure (for example, sticking of the vibromotor).
• 🤖 Application conflict (some programs forcefully include vibrations).

Decisions:

1. Reset: Go to Settings → System → Reset → Reset all settings → Reset (does not delete data, but returns system settings to factory settings).
2. Vibrator check: Enter the code ##0*## in the phone application → Vibration → Test the motor. If it's running all the time, it's a hardware problem.
3. Search for conflicting applications: Run the device in Safe Mode (press the power button → Safe Mode). If the vibration is lost, it is the fault of third-party software.

💡

If the vibration only appears when you connect to the charger, check the cable and the power supply. Unoriginal accessories can cause false alarms of the charging sensor, which leads to a parasitic vibration.

📊 According to service centers, most often problems with vibration occur at Redmi 9/10 (12% cases) and POCO X3 (8%). V 60% In some cases, the fault is caused by a failure of the 30% — hardware defects, and in 10% — Application conflicts (most often with launchers like Nova Launcher).
