Most users of devices based on Android OS use the Google keyboard as one of the most convenient and familiar. Of course, you can install it, fortunately, it’s not at all difficult to do. In any case, if your tablet or phone supports vibration, then when you press the keyboard, the device may vibrate. Today we will talk about how to actually turn off this vibration.
To begin, call up the keyboard and click on the button with three dots. It could be a comma, or a slash somewhere. After long pressing the button, a menu will appear in which you need to select “Android Keyboard Settings”.
Here we see various settings. Find the item “Vibration response of keys” and uncheck the box next to it. After this, the settings will be automatically saved and vibration will be disabled.
Interestingly, the user can change the strength of the vibration signal when pressing keys on the keyboard. To do this, find the “Advanced settings” item (may be called “ Additional settings") and open it.
Select “Keypress vibration settings” and set the vibration level yourself.
For Samsung keyboards the process is similar. Click on the gear and the settings open.
Here you uncheck the “Vibration” checkbox.
By the way, here we did not find the ability to adjust the strength of vibration when pressing keyboard keys.
Vibration feedback is a short vibration of the smartphone that occurs when the user interacts with buttons or keys on the screen. Vibration feedback allows you to understand by touch whether a key has been pressed or not.
But this function does not seem useful to everyone. Some users find vibration feedback annoying and want to turn it off.
In this article we will look at just such a situation. Here you will learn how to disable vibration feedback on Android when typing on the keyboard, as well as when pressing system buttons.
How to disable vibration response of keys when typing
If you are annoyed by the vibration response of the keys when typing, and you want to disable it, then you need to go to Android Settings and open the “Language and Input” section. Various settings for languages and input methods will be available here. You need to go to the “Virtual Keyboard” subsection.
After this, you need to select the virtual keyboard that you use to type. In our case it is " Google Keyboard».
And disable the “Vibrate when pressing keys” feature. Disabling this function, you will get rid of the annoying vibration feedback when you press keys on the keyboard.
Also here you can change the strength of vibration when you press keys, turn on or off the sound when you press keys, change the sound volume when you press a key, and also change other settings related to the operation of the selected virtual keyboard.
Please note that if you switch to a different keyboard, you will need to turn off vibration feedback again. Because it is configured separately for each keyboard.
How to disable vibration feedback on Android
In addition to the vibration response when pressing keys on the keyboard, there is a vibration response in the Android operating system itself. It triggers when you press any on-screen button, including the Back, Home, and Applications buttons. If you want to disable this system vibration response, then you need to open Android Settings and go to the Sound settings section.
In this section, all basic settings related to sound will be available. You need to scroll to the very end of these settings and find the “Other sounds” subsection there.
After opening the “Other Sounds” subsection, you need to disable the “Vibration Feedback” function.
Also in this subsection of the settings you can enable or disable such functions as “Dialing sound”, “Screen lock sound”, “Battery status signals” and “Tap sound”.
Android keyboards have an interesting feature - vibration response. When you press a key, a slight vibration appears at a certain point on the screen, which allows you to physically feel the key being pressed. This feature is supported not only by standard pre-installed keyboards, but also by third-party applications downloaded from Google Play Market. The function can be adjusted at your discretion: you can make the vibration response stronger or weaker; determine exactly when vibration should turn on and when not. Vibration can also be turned off. Let's look at how you can configure the vibration response on Android.
To turn vibration feedback back on, you need to open the settings, then the “Language, time, keyboards” tab. Then open options the desired keyboard and slide the “Vibration” switch to the On position.

What should I do if the vibration function does not work or has disappeared?
There are several reasons why the vibration feedback function may not work.
Feature not enabled
Check if vibration feedback is enabled in your keyboard settings. As for the vibration response for notifications (messages, calls), their parameters are located in “Settings -> Sound and vibration”. It is possible that vibration of the device as a whole is turned off. You can check this not only through the settings, but also through the notification panel. We swipe from top to bottom, lowering the “curtain” of the panel. It has quick access to vibration settings, where you can also see whether vibration is turned on or not.
Energy saving mode enabled
Vibration eats up a lot of energy, so the energy-saving mode disables the vibration response function. If you want to return vibration, turn off the power saving mode or configure it so that it does not turn off the keyboard vibration.
The keyboard does not support vibration feedback
If you are using a third party keyboard from Google Play Market, then perhaps the developers did not provide for its interaction with the vibration motor mobile device. The problem can only be solved by installing another keyboard.
Random bug
It is also possible that the system has somehow become “dull.” Program code is not perfect, so this could very well happen. Rebooting the device should help.
Vibration motor is faulty
If none of the above helps, then there may be a hardware problem. Vibration feedback will not work if the mobile device's vibration motor has physical damage. Carry the device to service center to replace it.
How to increase vibration response on Android?
If the keyboard (such as Google Keyboard) is provided by the developers for adjusting the vibration strength, then just go to the application settings and find the slider responsible for the vibration strength. If the function is not provided (as, for example, in a standard keyboard), then third party applications nothing can be done. But you can change and customize the vibration response of notifications. Programs from the Google Play Market will come to the rescue.
Customize Vibrancy
Customize Vibrancy allows you to increase or decrease the vibration strength of both the keyboard vibration response and vibration alerts, notifications, etc. The program can also set different vibration signals for different actions.
Description of the program on the Play Market.
This app allows you to customize your phone's vibration. You can choose one of the standard vibrations or create your own and set it to:
- incoming call;
- picking up the phone;
- end call;
- every minute of the call after the specified interval has expired;
- incoming SMS;
- The Internet becomes unavailable;
- The Internet becomes available via Wifi;
- The Internet becomes available via 3G/GMS.
Instructions for use
The program window consists of a list of actions that you can set vibration to.
The functionality of the program is simpler and smaller than in Customize Vibrancy, however, according to Google Play users, it works much more stable. Vibration Notifier allows you to set up a vibration that will notify you of missed calls and unread messages by vibrating in a specific way every N minutes.

The main menu has a list of events that need to be notified to the user. You set the vibration signal, vibration strength and signal repetition period in minutes.
How to turn on/off vibration signal?
When calling
For notifications
To enable/disable vibration for all notifications, open the notification panel (swipe from top to bottom of the screen). Find the Vibrate button and turn it on or off.
Vibration for individual app notifications can be turned off in the app settings. For example, let's turn off the vibration of notifications on VKontakte.

Without help third party programs You cannot enable or disable vibration for SMS at your discretion. Just turn off notification vibration completely.
But you can use the Customize Vibrancy program (see above). In the main menu, press the “To incoming SMS” item, the vibration response settings for SMS will open. You can set it to your liking from the list of vibration alerts or turn it off by selecting the “Do not vibrate” option.
For all touches
On Android, vibration feedback is used in keyboards and system buttons. You need to disable/enable them separately.
Setting vibration through the engineering menu
All Android devices have a special settings menu - engineering. It is intended for checking and debugging the hardware of the device. Since the menu contains settings that can break the device, it is hidden from users. In order to enter it, you need to open standard application to make calls and enter the code to dial the number engineering menu. Each manufacturer has its own code.
Table: codes for entering the engineering menu
There are no vibration settings in the engineering menu. The fact is that the vibration strength is adjustable software, and the engineering menu is intended for testing and debugging the device hardware. But using the engineering menu you can check the operation of the vibration motor. To do this, you need to find the “Vibrator” item. The path will be different depending on the device (for example, “Device -> MISC -> Vibrator -> Vibrator On”). Clicking on Vibrator On (possibly Vibrator Test) will start the vibration motor. If your phone or tablet does not respond, it means the vibration motor is damaged.
Android gives the user the opportunity to configure the vibration response function in a way that is convenient for him. You can leave or remove vibration for notifications, SMS, calls, or typing on the keyboard. It is possible to disable vibration only for a specific application or a specific event. And if some feature is missing, it can always be implemented using third-party applications and utilities from the Google Play Market.
And the touch buttons signal with a short vibration that the action has been completed.
Such Feedback useful for fast typing, but some users may find vibration annoying, and disabling vibration feedback will help to some extent save battery power, because Additional electricity is consumed to operate the vibration motor. Let's see how to disable vibration feedback on Android when using the keyboard and pressing touch buttons.

Smartphones running operating system Android systems, use three main ways to notify the owner about an event (a call was received, an SMS message was received, or an action simply occurred in an active application): visual, sound and vibration. Each of them can be customized for individual perception. Let's take a closer look at how to turn off vibration on Android.
There are two types of actions in which the smartphone emits a vibration signal:
- the already mentioned external event notification;
- confirmation of a key press in text input mode (vibration response).
It is important to know
The operating system provides the ability to make configuration changes to turn off both types of vibration alerts.
Disable vibration when receiving calls and messages
Changing any system parameter is usually done in the smartphone settings. For different versions OS and brand of a specific mobile device step-by-step instruction How to turn off vibration on Android may differ slightly, since the necessary options will be located in different sections of the menu. For clarity, we will describe the process of turning off vibration alerts on devices from two popular manufacturers: Samsung and Lenovo.
Removing vibration on Lenovo:
To carry out similar actions on Samsung:
Disable keyboard vibration response
The vibration that accompanies touching a key when entering text irritates many users. Besides, Constantly turning on the motor significantly reduces the battery life without recharging. To disable the vibration response on Lenovo, do the following:
- go to “Settings” -> “All settings” and activate the “Language and input” item;
- in the menu that appears, select “Google Keyboard” and tap on the icon located to the right of it (usually a gear or an equalizer);

Many popular applications use the vibration system of a smartphone. Social media, various instant messengers, mobile banking and online alarm systems - this is not a complete list useful programs, providing regular alerts.
note
A signal about an event in the application may be accompanied by vibration even if this function is disabled in the settings of the device itself.
To opt out of vibration alerts, it is necessary to make appropriate changes to the configuration of the application itself. Each program has its own interface, but the general technology is generally standard:
- go to settings (parameters, configuration or something similar);
- find the section or tab responsible for managing alerts (notifications, signals, feedback);
- disable the vibration function (uncheck the box, select the “Off” menu item, or simply move the switch).
Using special utilities
The above describes shutdown procedures using system capabilities. Let's find out how to turn off vibration on Android using a third-party software. Such a need may arise if for some reason it is not possible to change the relevant system parameters, or simply don’t want to tinker with the settings.
Most popular program to control vibration is Customize Vibrancy. Its main function is to control the frequency and duration of the vibration signal, so that you can program an individual “ring” for each action. However, this utility also provides complete shutdown mode.
To use Customize Vibrancy, download it from the standard Google Play store and run it. In the menu that appears, hold down the required line (for example, “For incoming call”) and select the “Do not vibrate” option.
