ADB And we'll also find out why the vibration can go on on by itself even if you've turned it off, and how to fix it. MIUI 12–14 and HyperOS, including Black Shark gaming smartphones.
1. Disable vibration through MIUI settings
The easiest way to remove the vibration in games is to use standard system settings. MIUI has a separate section for managing tactile feedback, but it doesn't always work correctly with games.
- Open Settings and go to Sounds and Vibration.
- Select Vibration (in some versions of MIUI it may be called Tactile Recoil).
- Turn off the sliders: 📱 Vibration when touching (removes recoil when pressed on the screen) 🎮 Vibration in games (if such a point is available) 🔊 Vibration on calls and notifications (does not affect games, but is useful for shutting down completely)

💡
If the vibration in games still works after turning off, try restarting the phone - sometimes the settings are applied only after the reboot.
2. adjust the vibration in the parameters of a particular game
Many popular games have their own vibration settings that overlap the system settings of MIUI. For example, in PUBG Mobile, Free Fire or Call of Duty: Mobile, you can turn off the tactile recoil directly in the game menu.
- 🎯 PUBG Mobile: Settings → Mainstream → Vibration (select Unplugged)
- 🔫 Call of Duty: Mobile: Settings → Management → Vibration (set No)
- 🏹 Genshin Impact: Settings → Sound. → Controller vibration (disable)
- 🚗 Asphalt 9: Settings → Management → Vibration (move the slider to the left)
If there is no separate point for vibration in the game, try turning off Sound Effects or Tactile Recoil in the audio section. Sometimes these parameters are related.
3.Using Do Not Disturb mode to block vibration
Do Not Disturb (DND) mode in MIUI can temporarily turn off all vibrations, including game vibrations, which is suitable if you want to quickly remove the jitter without deep tuning.

- Select the Rules and create a new rule with a name, such as Game Mode.
- In the settings, activate the rules: 🔕 Turn off the sounds and vibrations 🎮 Annexes → Add games that you want to remove the vibration
Save the rule and turn it on before you start the game.
⚠️ Note: Do Not Disturb also blocks notifications and calls. If it's important to stay in touch, use other methods.
What if the Do Not Disturb mode doesn’t remove the vibration in the games?
4. Disabling vibration through the engineering menu (for advanced)
If the standard methods don't work, you can try turning off the vibration via the engineering menu (#4636###), which is suitable for power users, as incorrect changes can lead to failures.
- Open the Phone app and enter the code: ##4636##.
- In the menu that appears, select Hardware Testing.
- Go to the Vibrator section.
- Press Disable Vibration or set 0 for Vibrator Strength.

☑️ Preparation for work with the engineering menu
5. Completely shutting down vibration via ADB (for developers)
If the vibration in the games is not turned off by any of these methods, the radical method is to turn off the ADB. This requires connecting the phone to the computer and executing commands.

Terminal
adb shell settings put global vibrate_on_touch 0
adb shell settings put global haptic_feedback_enabled 0Black Shark
adb shell settings put global game_vibration_enabled 0Reboot the phone.
Once these commands are executed, the vibration will be turned off at the system level, including games, and to bring it back, replace the 0 with 1 in the commands.
💡
ADB-commands turn off vibration globally, so after their application, the tactile recoil will disappear in all applications, not just in games.
6.Vibration problems on Black Shark gaming smartphones
