Is there any method to fully disable the vibrate function in ICS? Although it says it's disabled in the settings, it keeps vibrating when i turn of the volume and receive an email for example. I just want it off, at all times.
thx
Wondering this too. Need to turn this off completely. I am getting a loud noise on the top left of tablet when the vibrate goes off.

Go to settings, sound, and uncheck vibrate and ring, and vibrate on touch then retart the tablet. It should not vibrate any more.

That helps for sure, but doesn't disable completely.
For example if you turn the volume on the side of the tablet all the way down it goes off and it will vibrate playing some games.
I'd like to know this too... how to completely disable vibrate at all times (muting, power on/off, in apps, etc).
My vibrate motor started going bad over the last couple days, and now produces an annoying rattle sound.
I don't need the vibrate anyways, so would love to disable it.

On my other phones, when you keep pushing volume down, the ringer transitions from ring, to vibrate, to silent. But on the the photon, it goes from ring to vibrate. How do I tottaly silence it?
I wish there was a silent toggle. Sometimes I want both the ring to vibrate...but not always. I need a quick toggle.
if you press and hold the power button. it will pop up a menu. sound off is one of the options. you can also set the sounds off using the settings app.
I'd recommend downloading "simple sound profile widget" - it is similar to the profiles back when I had a nextel and a black berry. I put a widget that has the option of normal, silent, or vibrate - very quick and easy!

Or just hold the down volume key and when you feel it vibrate, you will be in Silent mode...
I know what u mean
This option was gone since froyo for some weird reason
Only cm7 brings that way back (via volume rocker)

Oh yeah. Probably would've helped if I read teh manual, but who does that
I wish there was a way to turn on vibrate individually quickly instead of going through the settings.
Huh?! It isn't gone. I use it all the time. Just press and hold the down volume key and it'll switch to Silent Mode...

it either goes ring to silent
or ring to vibrate
as i said back in the day, it would go from ring to vibrate to silent
to the OP, go to settings, sound, and play with the vibrate settings and ull get what u want
Yeah, that's right...
My bad, I didn't really check.
Damn, why'd they remove that feature...

Is it possible to have a script that totally removes the vibration feature?
You don't need script. Disable from Settings -> Sound setting -> vibrate feedback

I know that but doesn't always work. If you receive a txt while talking on the phone it vibrates, if you restart your phone it vibrates and couple of other actions I don't remember
Uncheck everything that has vibrate under setting -> sound, and vibrate should be completely disabled

dude im telling you that doesn't always do the trick
If you uncheck both vibrate and vibrate feedback, under what circumstances will the device vibrate?

that's why I need a script, it still vibrates when I receive a call, it still vibrates when I receive a txt while on the phone, it still vibrates when restart it. unchecking all the vibration and haptic feedback doesn;t work

while i dont have a script for you, the vibrate on call when you receive a text can be unchecked under your messaging app. I dont know of a way to get rid of the vibrate when it powers on. just thought id try and help a little.

Every HTC device i had in the last 4 years have done this, different ROMs, different O.S's (windows, android) so i guess this is a hardware thing (maybe a quick self test?).
Other than stripping the device apart and un-plugging the vibration unit you won't get a totally vibration free device..
Hi,
I have the annoying problem that my s2 turns off vibration mode when put to silence. If you manually go under settings->sound->silent mode and put that to 'vibrate' it works for that time being. But the next time, it all go back to no-vibration mode.
Looking at my friend phone(s2), he got the option of two different mode of silent when using the volume up/down. One with vibration and one without.
I honestly don't know how to fix this very annoying problem. I just want the vibration to be active at all times!
Any hints that can point me in the right direction?

just change your settings to mute ringtone and media volume for a diffrent profile that you dont use
I tried that, and it doens't work.
I've also reset to factory default, with no luck.
In fact, when I put my phone to silent and manually go to settings to put on vibration( I can see the vibration icon on top). It still does not vibrate on notification, ringing nor sms. But strangely from third party application it vibrates, like whatapp messenger.
vibration work when I have sound on.
So the problem is that when I put it on silent it automatically turns off the vibration mode.. and when I manually put silent mode to vibration, it still doesn't vibrate, only on 3rd party apps..
It sounds to me that this is some software issue, but can't really seem to find any solution to this very annoying problem.
Anyone?

Hi,
First time poster and I registered just to see if I can get this question answered. My issue is that I really hate that when I change from sound to mute via the vibrate icon in the pull-down taskbar that it actually vibrates. I also hate that it vibrates when I push the volume putton down towards mute.
If im lying in bed with the Mrs and not wanting to wake her while I browse my phone i want to be able to go from sound to mute and when passing through vibrate that it actually doesnt vibrate (I dont need to be told im on that setting). There is an app called mute to do this but I wish I could disable the vibrate when changing profiles entirely. The icon tells me whether it is on vibrate or not without needing to vibrate to tell me I have moved onto the vibrate setting!! Same goes for during a meeting when I am toggling one way or the other i want to do it without making a noise. I know I could use the power button to go to silent mode but I prefer to use the dropdown menu.
With my iPhone I could have just changed a text file or something but I guess its different with android?
So essentially I only want my phone to vibrate when I am getting an alert like a call, text message, calendar alert etc and not when Im cycling through my sound profiles. Maybe Im weird and this doesnt bother anybody else but it would be great to hear if this is possible to hack?
Thanks
David
This isn't my first Galaxy S device so I know my way around all the settings but this one has me scratching my head. When my device is in 'Sound' mode my phone still vibrates when receiving notifications and I'm not seeing an option to turn it off in the Settings or Notification settings. Is anyone else running this issue? or is my phone just odd?
go into settings -> sounds and vibration -> vibration intensity
find the notification slider and turn it all to the left to turn vibrations off entirely

Yup, vibration intensity should give you all the adjustments you need for calls, notifications, etc.
The only problem with this method is that when my device is in 'Vibrate' mode, my device won't vibrate when I receive a notification. I even went to Bestbuy to check out their demo devices, and it turned out that even their devices were missing that option. I don't understand how/why Samsung would leave out such important feature. Fortunately for us, Samsung is one of those companies that actually listen and care about what their consumers want so hopefully they'll release a firmware update that addresses this issue.

Settings, sounds and vibration, vibrate while ringing?

I don't want my phone to vibrate while it rings or whenever I receive a text message. I want my phone to vibrate when in 'Vibrate' mode.
Same problem here. They completely removed the option to have your phone not vibrate with texts when sound is on. Wtf
