How to turn off vibration on Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S: the complete guide

Modern smartphones, including the popular Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S, provide users with a tactile response to confirm actions, which creates a sense of physical contact with the device, but for many owners, the constant jitter of the body becomes an annoying factor, especially when typing is active, when the finger touches every letter on the screen, causing microvibration.

The need to disable this functionality often arises in situations that require silence, or simply out of a desire to save battery power. In the Android operating system, which runs the MIUI shell, the tactile response settings are scattered across different menus. The user needs to understand the differences between the system vibration and the response of a particular keyboard to achieve complete (silence).

In this guide, we will discuss all possible ways to eliminate unwanted body fluctuations. We will look at the standard paths through the settings menu, the parameters of the special Gboard keyboard, and also touch on deeper system settings. The correct configuration of these parameters will allow you to use the Redmi Note 10S as comfortably as possible, eliminating the intrusive sensations when printing messages or searching for information in the browser.

Setup system vibration through the main menu

The first step to eliminate tactile response is to go to the basic operating system settings, and that's where the global parameters that control the device's response to touches of the interface that are not directly related to typing are adjusted, and to get to the desired section, you need to open the Settings app and select Sound and Vibration.

In the menu that opens, you'll see a slider that's responsible for touch vibration, and if you move it to an inactive position, you'll turn off the jitters when you press system buttons, switch switch switch toggles and other interface elements. However, it's worth noting that on different versions of MIUI firmware, the location of this switch can be slightly different, sometimes hiding in the submenu Additional.

It’s important to understand that turning off system vibration doesn’t always guarantee silence when printing. Third-party keyboards or even standard Gboard can have their own priority settings that override system constraints.

• 📱 Open the main menu of applications and find the gear icon.
• 🔊 Go to the section of management of sound profiles and tactile response.
• 🚫 Find the item "Vibration when touching" and deactivate it with a slider.
• ✅ Check the result by clicking on any button in the settings menu.

⚠️ Note: On some versions of the shell MIUI Disabling system vibration can also remove the response when you press application icons long enough to call the context menu.

Once you do this, the interface will be softer and quieter, and if your goal was to eliminate the jitters when navigating the menu, then that's where you can stop, but if the problem persists when you type in messengers or search strings, you need to go to customize the specific typer software.

Managing the response of the Gboard keyboard

The vast majority of Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S users use Google’s standard Gboard keyboard.This app has its own tactile-recoil settings, independent of the system, and to access it, you need to run any application that requires text input, such as Messages or Notes, to trigger the keyboard to appear on the screen.

On the top of the keyboard, usually to the left or right of the prompt bar, is a gear icon, and if you click on it, you'll be taken to the Gboard settings menu, and you'll select Settings, and then you'll find Vibration when you press it, and that's the parameter that controls the strength and duration of each key you click on.

The unique feature of the Gboard is the ability not only to turn the function on or off, but also to adjust the duration of the vibration to within milliseconds. The slider allows you to set the value from 0 ms (total shutdown) to the maximum possible level. To completely eliminate the sensations when printing, you need to move the slider left to the end until it turns gray.

It’s worth noting that after updating the application, the settings can reset to factory values. So if the vibration appeared suddenly after the app update, first check this parameter. Owners of the Redmi Note 10S often note that even the minimum vibration of 10-20 ms can be felt quite strongly due to the design of the phone’s engine.

• ⌨️ Call the keyboard in any text field.
• ⚙️ Click on the gear icon on the keyboard toolbar.
• 📉 Find the "Settings" and "Vibration when pressed" section".
• 🔇 Set the duration slider to a minimum position (0 ms).

⚠️ Note: If you use a third-party theme for your keyboard, it may block access to standard vibration settings, in which case try to temporarily return the standard visual style.

Adjusting response times is a powerful tool. Some users prefer not a full shutdown, but a minimum response of 10-15 ms, which gives confirmation of touch, but does not annoy with constant trembling. Experiment with values to find a balance between tactile feedback and comfort of use.

Turning off vibration on the SwiftKey keyboard

Many users prefer to replace the standard keyboard with more functional ones, and Microsoft SwiftKey is one of the most popular choices. The configuration logic here is similar to Gboard, but the menu interface is different. To remove the vibration, you also need to call the keyboard and click on the settings icon, which is often hidden in the additional characters menu or located on the toolbar.

In the SwiftKey settings menu, you should select the Sound and Vibration section. Here you will find the Vibration on press switch. Unlike Gboard, it often offers binary options: on or off, without fine-tuning the duration in milliseconds, although in some versions the functionality is expanded.

If you have installed SwiftKey recently, please note that the app may request permission to use the tactile response separately from the Android system settings. Make sure that the permissions section of the SwiftKey app itself does not prohibit the use of the vibrator motor, although this usually works the opposite way – the ban deprives the application of the ability to vibrate.

For owners of Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S, it is important to know that third-party keyboards can consume more CPU resources when processing tactile response, especially if they are not optimized for a particular model of the MediaTek Helio G95 processor.

• 🔤 Activate the SwiftKey keyboard in the text input field.
• 🎛️ Go to the settings menu via the gear icon or three dots.
• 🔊 Select the "Sound and Vibration" tab or "Counds & Vibration" tab".
• ❌ Deactivate the switchboard "Vibration when pressed".

After making changes, it is recommended to close the keyboard application completely through the menu of running tasks and open it again, which ensures that the new settings are applied correctly and there is no conflict with the cached data of the previous session.

Specific settings of the MIUI shell

The MIUI shell on the Redmi Note 10S has its own features of managing audio profiles. Unlike pure Android, there is a division into modes of operation, such as "No Sound", "Vibration" and "Sound", switching between them through the control center (curtain) or the side volume button.

However, even in No Sound mode, the vibration can be stored when printing if it is configured as a separate application parameter. There is also a silent vibration feature in MIUI, which can be found in advanced audio settings. Disabling this item ensures that the phone will not vibrate at any notifications or actions when the silent mode is on.

Another important feature is System Tactile Response. In newer versions of MIUI, this parameter can duplicate system vibration, but also affect transition animations and the fingerprint scanner. The setup is on the path of Settings → Sound and Vibration → Tactile Response. Disabling here will make the interface completely silent in terms of tactile sensations.

💡

Use Do Not Disturb mode with a setup to completely shut down vibrations if you need to temporarily turn your phone into a brick for maximum concentration or sleep.

Users often confuse these settings, thinking that the "No Sound" mode turns everything off. In practice, Xiaomi leaves the possibility of a vibration response for important system events so that the user can physically feel the reaction of the device even without sound.

The integrated approach to setting these parameters allows you to achieve the perfect result. It is not necessary to limit yourself to just one point, since in the Xiaomi ecosystem, settings can overlap depending on the priorities of the system.

Additional features and special functions

Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S There are special features that can affect tactile response, such as features for people with impaired vision or motor skills that can increase vibration or make it constant with certain actions. → Special facilities.

If activated accidentally, the phone can behave unpredictably, giving powerful vibrational signals, and make sure that all such functions are turned off unless you use them intentionally.

There's also the option of using third-party apps from the Google Play store that control the vibrator, which can have their own settings that ignore system constraints, and if you've installed these programs, check their internal menus.

Sometimes the constant vibration may not be caused by a software failure, but by a sticking button or sensor, and if the phone vibrates in your pocket or without your actions, this may indicate a problem with the touchscreen or the switch button, in which case the software settings will not help.

⚠️ Attention: If the vibration occurs randomly without touching the screen, it may be a sign of battery failure or bloating of the battery pressing on the components.

For most users, the problem is solved in the software part: the correct configuration of special functions ensures that no background process interferes with your desired silence settings.

Solving problems if the vibration does not turn off

There are times when all settings are correct, the sliders are moved to zero, and the Redmi Note 10S continues to vibrate when printing, which can be caused by a software failure, application conflict, or an error in the Android operating system itself.

First, try to force the device to restart, press the power and volume button (or just power, depending on the settings) for 10-15 seconds, which will clear the RAM and restart the system processes responsible for the periphery, including the vibrator motor.

If the reboot didn't work, check if you have an update installed. Sometimes vibration bugs get fixed in security patches. Go to Settings → About phone and click on the MIUI version to check for updates.

💡

If the software methods don't work, try running your phone in Safe Mode, and if the vibration is gone, it's the third-party app's fault.

As a last resort, if the problem is critical, you can reset your phone to factory settings.Warning: this will delete all your data, so be sure to back up important information before you do this.

• 🔄 Perform a full smartphone reboot by holding the power button.
• 📲 Check for system updates MIUI and set them up.
• 🛡️ Run your phone in Safe Mode to check third-party apps.
• 🗑️ In the extreme, perform a data reset (Factory Reset).

Often the cause of phantom vibrations are optimizer applications or memory cleaners that try to “enhance” the response of the system, and removing such programs often solves the problem instantly.
