How to remove the vibration of the alarm clock on Xiaomi: all ways for MIUI

The vibration of the alarm clock on Xiaomi smartphones can be annoying in the morning — especially if the phone is lying on a hard surface or near your head. Unlike the melody, which you can choose a quiet one, the vibration signal always works at full power, literally “shaking” the entire body of the device. Unfortunately, the manufacturer has not put a separate button to turn this feature off in the alarm settings, so users have to dig into the system menus or use workarounds.

In this article, we’ll look at all the working ways to turn off the alarm clock vibration on Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO, from standard MIUI settings to hidden features for advanced users. The instructions are relevant for MIUI 12-14 firmware versions and Android 10-14 devices. If you use custom firmware (like LineageOS or Pixel Experience), some methods may not work – we’ll mention that too.

Why the vibration of the alarm clock does not turn off through standard settings

Many users are faced with the fact that the alarm clock menu (Clock) → The alarm clock just doesn't have the option to turn off the vibration. It's not a bug, it's a shell feature. MIUI: Xiaomi developers have decided to link the vibration signal to the general sound settings, rather than each alarm clock separately:

  • 🔄 The general vibration settings overlap the individual alarm clock settings, and even if you choose a non-vibrational melody in the signal settings, the system can ignore it.
  • 📱 Different versions MIUI They have different interfaces. MIUI 12 is hidden deeper than in the MIUI 14.
  • 🔧 System limitations: on some models (e.g. Xiaomi) 12T or POCO F5) The vibration of the alarm clock is tied to the sound profile (Sound) → Sound profile).
  • 🛠️ Custom firmware can remove or modify standard functions MIUI.

If you tried to turn off the vibration through the alarm menu and nothing worked, don’t worry. Below we show you 5 alternative ways that work on 90% of Xiaomi devices.

Method 1: Turn off vibration through sound settings (MIUI 12–14)

This method works on most modern Xiaomi smartphones and does not require superuser rights, the point is to turn off the vibration for all notifications, but leave it for calls (if necessary).

  1. Open Settings (the gear icon on the main screen).
  2. Go to the Sound and Vibration section (or just Sound on some models).
  3. Find the Vibration item and tap it.
  4. Turn off the slider next to Vibration at notifications.
  5. Important! Don't turn off Vibration when calling if you want to keep tactile feedback during calls.

After this, the alarm clock should be gone, but there are two nuances to the method:

  • 🔔 Vibration will be turned off for all notifications (SMS, messengers, social networks).
  • 🔄 On some models (e.g. Redmi Note 10 Pro), the alarm may ignore this setting.

Is the "Settings → Sound and Vibration" open?

Is the "Vibration at Notifications" slider turned off?

Are there any changes (Back or Ready button)?

Is the smartphone rebooted after the changes?

Method 2: Use Do Not Disturb (DND) Mode

If you only need to turn off the alarm clock vibration overnight, but save it during the day for notifications, use Do Not Disturb (DND) mode, which is suitable for those who do not want to completely turn off tactile feedback in their phone.

Instructions:

  1. Open Settings → Sound and vibration → Do not disturb.
  2. Activate the slider Enable on schedule.
  3. Set the start and end times of the mode (for example, from 23:00 to 07:00).
  4. Slip by the Rules and select Alarms.
  5. Make sure that there is a switch next to the Vibration in the off position.

The advantage of this method is that the vibration will only be turned off for a specified period of time, but beware: if you use alarm clocks from third-party applications (for example, Google Clock), they can ignore the DND settings.

⚠️ Note: On some devices (e.g. Xiaomi Mi 11), Do Not Disturb completely blocks the alarm clock sound. Before using, check that the Exceptions allow alarm clock playback.

Method 3: Installation of a third-party alarm application

If MIUI system settings don’t allow you to turn off vibration, the most reliable solution is to set an alternative alarm clock from Google Play, which many apps offer flexible vibration settings – up to turning it off completely.

Best options:

  • 🔔 Google Clock is a standard alarm clock from Google with the ability to turn off vibration for each signal separately. MIUI.
  • 🎵 Sleep as Android is an advanced alarm clock with sleep tracking function that allows you to adjust the vibration on a schedule.
  • ⏰ Alarmy – an app with a hard alarm clock, where vibration can be turned off in the settings of each signal.
  • 🌙 Good Morning Alarm Clock – Alarm alarm clock with smooth awakening and separate vibration settings.

Instructions for Google Clock:

  1. Install the app from Google Play.
  2. Open it and create a new alarm clock.
  3. Slap the alarm icon → The sound of the alarm clock.
  4. At the bottom of the screen, select No Sound (this will turn off both the melody and the vibration) or select a melody and turn off the Vibration slider manually.

On some Xiaomi models (such as the POCO X3 Pro), the system alarm may conflict with third-party applications. To avoid double-triggering, turn off the standard MIUI alarm in the auto-start settings (Settings → Applications → Auto-Start Management).

Method 4: Turning off vibration through ADB (for advanced)

If you’re ready to dive into the technical details, you can turn off the alarm clock vibration via ADB (Android Debug Bridge), a technique that requires connecting your smartphone to your computer, but works on 100% of Xiaomi devices (unless you have locks from the manufacturer).

What you need:

If the problem persists, try reinstalling it. ADB or use Wireless ADB (Wi-Fi. The method 5: Manual editing of system files (root) This is the most radical method, which requires root rights.

Install a root-enabled file manager (such as Root Explorer or Solid Explorer: /system/media/audio/alarms/. Find files with the.ogg extension or.mp3, in the name of which there is a vibrate or alarm_vibrate. Rename them by adding.bak at the end (e.g, alarm_vibrate.ogg.bak). Restart the device.

But be careful: 🔧 Risk of damage to the system: improper editing of system files can lead to failures. 🔄 Updates MIUI Can Recover Deleted Files. 🛡️ Guarantee: rooting and editing system files deprive you of official Xiaomi warranty. 💡Before editing system files, make a backup copy through TWRP Or OrangeFox Recovery, which will allow you to restore the phone if something goes wrong, and frequent problems and solutions, even after you use one of these methods, the vibration of the alarm clock can continue to work.
