Owners of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 S smartphone often face situations where tactile recoil when printing interferes with focus or creates unnecessary noise in a quiet environment. Standard settings of the MIUI shell offer many personalization options, but sometimes the desired switch is hidden in non-obvious sections of the system menu or inside the settings of the input application itself. Understanding the logic of tactile response in the Xiaomi ecosystem allows you to quickly solve this problem without installing third-party programs.
Turning off sound and vibration not only improves the comfort of the gadget, but also positively affects the autonomy of the device. The vibratory motor consumes a certain amount of energy, and with active use of messengers or typing large volumes of text, this difference can become noticeable. In this article, we will discuss in detail all available methods for deactivating unwanted vibrations, including system settings and parameters of specific keyboards.
Before we get into the technical details, it’s worth noting that in the Redmi Note 10 S, a separate hardware component is responsible for the haptics. The software only controls its activation in different scenarios. So if the vibration persists after all the instructions are executed, the problem may be software-based or application-related. The built-in Gboard keyboard is the standard for the Redmi Note 10 S and has priority settings in the system.
System settings of tactile response in MIUI
The first step to eliminating unnecessary vibrations is to check the operating system’s global settings. The MIUI shell installed on the Redmi Note 10 S has a centralized audio and vibration management menu that override the settings of individual applications. To access this section, you need to go to the Settings menu and select Sound and Vibration, and here the user finds the main switches responsible for the device’s response to touch.
In the menu that opens, you should pay attention to the item Vibration when touching (or “Vibration when interacting”). It is this parameter that makes the smartphone vibrate every time you press on the screen buttons, switches and, importantly, the virtual keyboard keys. Disabling this slider instantly removes the tactile response throughout the system, making typing completely silent in terms of vibration.
⚠️ Warning: Turning off system vibration when touched can make the interface less responsive visually, as you will no longer feel the input confirmation.
If you want to leave the vibration in the system, but only remove it when printing, this method will not work, and you will need to dig deeper into the settings of a particular application. Also in this section, you often find the option Vibration at locking, which is also recommended to turn off for complete silence. Some users confuse these settings, leaving the general vibration on, which leads to the preservation of the problem.
Setting up the built-in Gboard keyboard
Since the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 S has Google’s Gboard keyboard installed by default, the main vibration control takes place in the bowels of the app. This app has its own priority settings that can ignore system constraints. To get to the desired menu, open any type field, call the keyboard and click on the gear icon in the top toolbar.
In the Gboard settings menu, you need to select Settings (or Preferences) section. This is where the key switch Vibration is pressed. If you move the slider to an inactive position, you turn off the tactile response directly for this input application. It's important to understand that if you have multiple keyboards installed, this operation will have to be repeated for each of them.
In addition, you can also set the duration of the vibration in the same menu if you don't need to shut down completely. The duration of the vibration allows you to make the response barely noticeable, which can be a compromise solution for those who are used to tactile feedback.
☑️ Checking Gboard settings
It's also worth checking the "Additional" section of the keyboard settings, which sometimes hides specific gesture-control functions that can also cause vibrations, such as swipes to delete text or move the cursor, which can be accompanied by a tactile signal, and disabling these functions will make the printing process smoother and quieter.
Vibration management in third-party keyboards
If you have an alternative keyboard installed, such as SwiftKey, Yandex Keyboard or Facemoji, the logic of the actions remains similar, but the paths to settings may differ. In most modern applications for text input, tactile response settings are placed in the main settings menu of the keyboard itself, which is usually available through the gear icon or app icon in the notification panel.
Consider the popular Microsoft SwiftKey keyboard, where you tap the settings icon (often looking like a gear or logo) after calling the keyboard, then go to the Input or Sounds and Vibration section, where you have a separate slider that vibrates the keys, and in some versions of the applications, this option can be called Tactile Impact.
- 📱 For Yandex Keyboard: Go to the settings via the “Y” icon on the toolbar, select “Sound and Vibration” and turn off the corresponding switchboard.
- 🎨 For Facemoji: Go to My, then Settings, Sound and Vibration, where you can customize the strength and duration of the response in detail.
- ⌨️ For TouchPal: In the settings menu, find the “Sound and Vibration” section and uncheck the “Vibration” box».
⚠️ Warning: Third-party keyboards may request advanced permissions that allow them to ignore the Do Not Disturb system settings».
The feature of third-party solutions on the Redmi Note 10 S is that they can have their own prediction and correction engines that also vibrate when correcting errors. So it's important to check not only the main input, but also the autocorrection settings. If the vibration remains after you set up the application, try clearing the keyboard cache through the application management menu.
Why can third-party keyboards not listen to the system?
Do Not Disturb Mode and Sound Profiles
One of the most effective ways to temporarily remove vibration on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 S is to use the Do Not Disturb mode, which is designed for situations where the phone does not need to distract the user, and it blocks not only calls, but also tactile interface signals. You can activate it through the notification curtain or in the Settings menu → Sound and vibration → Don't disturb.
You can create flexible rules in this mode settings, for example, you can set up automatic switching on at night or during meetings on the calendar. In the Behavior or Additional settings inside the Do Not Disturb menu, make sure that there is a tick or switch on the item Turn off the vibration, which ensures that even if you forget to turn off the vibration in the keyboard, the system will silence it.
Also worth mentioning is the sound profiles. Switching your smartphone to silent mode (the crossed-out speaker icon) often, but not always, turns off the keyboard vibration. In MIUI, the silent mode behavior is set separately. If you want your phone to be silent completely, it's better to use the "Do Not Disturb" mode, since it has a higher execution priority.
Additional parameters of special capabilities
Deep in the settings of the Redmi Note 10 S, there is a special feature section hidden, which also affects the tactile sensation. Some features, such as Vibration when pressed long or vibration when using a fingerprint scanner, can interfere, creating the feeling that the keyboard continues to vibrate. These settings are located along the way Settings → Additional settings → Special features.
You should check the Vibration or Tactile Impact tab here. With newer versions of MIUI based on Android 11/12/13, these settings can be placed in different sub-items. Make sure all vibrations related to navigation and input are turned off. This is especially true if you use gesture control instead of the classic buttons.
| Parameter | Location. | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Vibration on touch | Sound and vibration | Off (for total silence) |
| Keyboard vibration | Gboard settings | Off |
| Vibration of the system | Special opportunities | As you wish. |
| The alarm clock vibration | Clock/Alarm clock | On (to keep up) |
💡
Use the Quiet Mode widget on your desktop to quickly switch audio profiles without going to the deep settings menu.
Diagnostics and troubleshooting
There are times when a software failure causes the vibration to stay on even after all the settings. On the Redmi Note 10 S, this may be due to an error in the system process android.system or an update conflict. The first thing you do is try to reboot the device. This trivial action often clears temporary memory errors that block the application of new settings.
If the reboot didn’t work, try resetting the keyboard to factory settings. To do this, go to Settings → Apps → All apps, find your keyboard (like Gboard), select Memory and press Clear (or Reset). This will return the keyboard to its original state and you will have to reset the language and vocabulary, but the vibration settings are guaranteed to reset.
⚠️ Warning: Cleaning up keyboard data will remove saved words in the dictionary and personalized typing style.
In rare cases, the problem may lie in the damage of system files after a failed firmware update. If nothing helps, it makes sense to check for system updates in the About Phone menu. Xiaomi developers regularly release patches that fix such bugs of peripheral behavior.
💡
If the vibration is not turned off by standard methods, the most likely reason is a configuration conflict between the Sound system profile and the internal settings of the keyboard application.
