How Do I Turn Off ALL Vibrations? - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

Hello everyone,
About 8 months ago I dropped my Pixel. I was pretty upset, had only had it a month, but all it did was put a dent right where the opening for the speaker is. Sound worked, screen wasn't cracked, I was happy.
Well, 8 months have gone by and about 2 days ago I think the mesh that covers the speaker has turned loose from the case. Again, no big deal, it's still there, sound still works, etc. BUT ... now I get this HORRIBLE metal rattle every single time the phone vibrates.
Does anyone know how to turn off ALL vibration for the phone?
I've gone through Settings -> Sounds and turned it off for phone calls and touches. I've gone through some individual apps like Hangouts and Messages and turned it off for those app's notifications. But there are so many times the phone vibrates.
How do I turn off the vibrate for when you unlock with the fingerprint sensor? How do I turn off the vibrate for when you double click the power button to quick launch the camera?
If anybody knows how to disable ALL vibration on the phone I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Chris Williams

Don't think you can disable the fingerprint vibration or the camera vibration unless you're running a custom rom. You could try and run a custom kernel that let's you set the vibration intensity. You could then set it to 0 and the vibration motor won't work anymore.

Turn off vibrate on startup?

Is it possible to turn off the short vibration on when the phone restarts?
My TP auto softresets every morning at 6 am and every morning it scares the hell out of me with it's nasty vibration sound.
It does it to me too so i'd be interested in this.
Isn't the vibrate part of the Boot-Up self-test routine to make sure the vibro thingie is working in the hardware. All Nokia phones also do this.

Put your device on something soft and you won't hear the vibration as much, or change the time that it softresets.

Fuze does not ring...

On incoming calls, my Fuze does not ring. I have it set to 'vibrate and ring' and it only vibrates. I have changed ringtones, ring settings, turned it off and back on, soft reset, pulled the battery out, etc and nothing will make my phone ring. All other notifications work (alarms, text messages, etc) and it will work on speaker phone once a call is connected. Is there any advice? I am trying to avoid a Hard-reset because I have the device set-up perfectly to my tastes...

What format is the ring tone in?
My ringtone is the 'Oldphone2' and it is set at'vibrate and ring'. It just spontaneously started this non-ringing thing this morning prompted by no changing of settings. As I said, I tried messing around with the setting after it stopped ringing, but to no avail. And the frustrating thing is that everything else seems to work fine. Argh!
This may seem silly, but have you checked your ring volume? I've had a situation a few times, for no apparent reason after disconnecting from Activesync, where my ring volume was down to 0. Just a thought.
I HAVE SAME PROBLEM, when you turn all to vibrate only and turn it back up . the ring stop working
Yes. all volume settings are up. ringer volume, call volume, media player volume.... Any other suggestions?
i had the same problem just now.. but changing the ringtone back to the ATT default one fixed it. I also use S2U2 and changing the setting for "vibrate when answered" or something like that seems to have fixed it as well.
Hope that helps.
what is S2U2? I have tried changing the ringtone back to ATT default and fiddling with the settings... No help there. This is frustrating. I have to keepmy phone on my desk in front of me so I dont miss any calls. I miss them if the phone is in my pocket.

this happened to me too and i hard resetted. that fixed it , then it started again. come to find out th eproblem was when i hit the volume key on the side i turned system valume up and didnt click on ringer volume to turn it up . i had to smack myself
do texts ringer still work?? if so then im pretty sure you have the same problem i had, check it. good luck though
Do you have the unit face down? It has an auto mute when face down.
I also have an alarm problem, although lights go off, the alarm doesn't ring. I also have problems with ringing on incoming calls. The speaker otherwise works fine. Volumes are turned on appropriately. I have Natfv4.0 installed. Do any of the roms fix this problem?
So somehow the problem fixed itself. Dont know how as I didnt even touch my phone for two days. I just turned it on and -BOOM- it rang a few minutes later. Totally spontaneous issue. Really strange this phone is sometimes...
Boy, do I feel dumb.....Never even noted the un hi-lighted RING volume TAB...
I guess I can't use THAT excuse for not answering calls...
Thanks

I've been having the same problem. It's very baffling to say the least. I believe it was caused by the newer versions of S2U2. Don't know if it's been discussed in that thread or not. Both times this ringer 'glitch' has occurred, it's been when I've password protected S2U2 in settings. The issue was fixed by turning the password protection off, restarting S2U2, soft resetting my Fuze.
I am having the same problem with incoming calls not playing the ring tone and missing calls. I can guarantee you that the system/ring volume controls are at maximum. I have switched ring tones to no avail. It seems to have something to do with changing the ring type from ring to increasing ring and or visa versa. When I change ring type the problem exists. If I turn system/ring volume to silent and then back to maximum it plays the ring tone just fine. There is a bug in there somewhere! I also see a 'send text' lower left of screen and I hear a blurp sound or two in the background wihile the ringtone is playing when the phone is ringing. Anyone else have any issues like this? If so or you have a fix please send it to [email protected] I'm new to this forum stuff and don't really know how to use it. Hope I didn't break any rules.
Thank you,
Trent Alexander
I just have the callers complaining that I take too long to answer the phone. I called myself, and it took 3 1/2 rings for my Fuze to ring...anyone else?
Great PPC, Lousy Phone
Mine too. I just tried it and it does not ring until seven seconds after the light starts flashing. Not only that, it will not retain a custom ring tone. I try to use Old Phone 2 but it reverts to the default on its own.
My vario iv also suffers from the missing ring tone- reboots sometimes help but not always.
I too have had to learn not to rely on the alarm- goes off some days and then not on others.
Just now I thought that I would try to play an mp3 to see if that works- I pressed play and then waited for the track to start- no sound- seconds later the screen changed and touchflow launched itself (again) went back to the home tab and the sound is back?????
Same problem... it stopped ringing...
one thing I notice is that if the number calling is private or block it will only light up (no ring) but from a caller with Caller ID open the phone will ring...
strange...

Facedown – no ring tone, and auto answer

The title pretty much says it. If my phone is facedown there is no ring tone, and auto answers and I never know the call even came in. I assume it is a setting about silence phone by putting facedown, but it shouldn't auto answer. But I can't even find that setting. Anyone have any suggestions?
check you do not disturb settings.
the settings you are looking for are under settings\smart\assistance\voice control
Thanx for the suggestion, but that's not it. It is scheduled for specific hours, and I tested...holding the phone it rings, face down on the counter it doesn't, and it auto answers.
I would swear I saw and turned on a setting to quiet the phone be placing face down. But I didn't expect it to answer. But I can't find that setting now.
Settings > smart assist > movement control....or something like that...translated from dutch....sorry...
Thanks.
This is crazy. I just checked there again, and it's not there.
I notice on my Note 4 that there is a turn device over to mute. Maybe I am thinking of that.
That leaves me wondering why this phone will not ring when is facedown , and also auto answers. So phone call comes in, the phone answers it, and I have no way of knowing that the phone call even came in. Again, that is if it's facedown on the desk .
settings/motion control, at least on my mate 9 pro..
I can say that there is definitely NO setting there0 regarding any thing to do with silencing my phone by putting the phone face down. But...When I first got the phone the firmware was 138, and I did a lot of the configuration on 138. It has since upgraded to 9183. Maybe that setting is now gone.
One thing olI did try:.under Smart Assistance, I had Smart Assistance, motion, lift to ear to answer turned on. So I thought maybe being face down was making that setting answer. I turned it off, and that did not fix it.
I'm on hold right now with Huwaei tech support.
Well, guess what. The reason turning off Raise Tho Ear didn't fix the problem is because it is there in 2 places. I turned off one but not the other. Three 2 places are:
Smart Assistance/Motion Control/Resist To Ear
Advanced Settings/Accessibility/Resist To Ear To Answer

Dear ewingr,
I am having the similar issue on my Made 10 pro. Communicated with Huawei Tech Sopprts many times and followed to their many recommendations. I even reset my phone to the factory original configuration but the problem is still there. The problem is when the phone is in the pocket, in-coming calls would automatically pickup without me even know it since it is never ring or vibrate. I did all I could, some guys recommeded to never put the phone in the pocket....common guys please be relistic, the phone almost always reside in the pocket that why we call it a mobile phone.
Any body please help!!

Zenfone 6 vibration "sound"

Hello,
I received my phone two days ago (switched from OP3). I noticed something odd. The vibration sounds like "vibrating phone with protruding camera laying on desk". Even if I hold it in my hand. Even with case put on.
My vibration strength is set to about 66%. If there is a long vibration (sms notification or call) it sounds like vibration motor is working with few very small interruptions in those ~3 seconds.
When I get back from work I will try to record that sound.
Anyone got the same feeling with their phone? Is it normal? Or should I write to Asus about it?

how can we turn off the touch on vibrate sound

i want to disable the touch on vibrate sound but i want the haptic vibrate to still function. the touch sounds are already disabled but it does not fix the issue. is there a way to keep it on vibrate but without the light sound it makes when the screen is touched.
thanks driving my daughter nuts. on my wifes oneplus turning off the touch sounds worked fine but not on the 8t for some reason.
