Any way to disable vibration?

**Dantastic** · 02-23-2011, 11:02 PM

So, I've been searching around the forums and I haven't been able to find a solution.

See, the thing is, when I have the Atrix set to the normal sound settings, as in I don't have it set to silent or vibrate, whenever I receive a notification, like, let's say a text message, I'll hear the notification sound, but the phone will vibrate as well. Is there any way to turn off the vibration?

It's no biggie to me, but I just want to know if there's an option

menu>settings>sound>vibrate, and from there you can set your vibration rules

Well, after a process of elimination, I figured out that even while the Atrix is set to the normal profile (not in vibration or silent mode), it only vibrates when a text message is received. However, a ringtone, email notification, etc., won't cause the phone to vibrate...only messages.

How about disabling the tactile feedback when pressing the touch-sensitive buttons (like the menu, home, back, and search buttons?

To my knowledge, Motorola removed the ability to turn this off.

If your device is rooted, you can download an application to turn it off. But, that application will turn off all vibration.

I actually just figured out how to turn off the vibrate feature when getting sms messages. I found it annoying that my phone would vibrate then the notification sound would go off. Open up the text message folder > hit the menu button > message settings > uncheck vibrate.

I feel that the function of vibrating before ringing kind of helps in situations such as "oh i forgot to turn my sound off while in a meeting" so the vibrate warns you to hurry and catch it before it actually sounds. But that's just me.

I also just realized today that when vibrate is uncheck in the messaging setting the phone won't vibrate when receiving sms messages in silent mode. I don't find this a problem since I usually have my phone sitting at my desk. However, this might be for others.

This stinks! Makes the phone almost unusable for me. I think it goes back to Bell tomorrow unless there is a way to turn it off without having to root the device.
