Complete disabling of vibration motor? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Z2 is pretty old and the Vibro motor gets really weak. What used to be a solid vibration now sounds like a dying droid short of "breath". Is there a way to disable the start-up/shut-down vibrating and all other system haptic feedback? I don't mean the vibration options that can be handled in app and system settings. Found this article but I am not sure which system app to use.
My bootloader is unlocked. No root.

Xperia Mini Vibration Quality

I used to use s.e. W810, recently switched to xperia mini. Everything is pretty nice but the vibration level. It's barely sensible. When I have my phone in my jean pocket switched to silent mode, I feel nothing and when I check it to see whether there is any notification, usually I got ,say, 3 messages and 2 missing call
So, it's obvious that I don't feel the vibration. Searched a little about it, but neither could find anyone suffers from that problem like I do nor a solution to increase vibration level. However thought that maybe by reaching the phone's system files that can be feasible. So, is it possible to do that, if so, how ?
Thanks in advance.
I've not had a problem with it, but there are also apps to allow you to make your own vibration patterns. So maybe something with a bit more stop/start would help?

Thanks for your suggestion but the problem is not the pattern but the level of the vibration definitely. I compared it with other phones and it's really not that high like old phones.
Go sms pro can help you define how many miliseconds the vibration for a notification for a new text should last. haven't used any app which can do the same for incoming calls, but it should exist somewhere in the market!
Actually what I'm looking for is to be able to increase the power of the motor inside the phone which creates those vibrations. This is adjustable for sure, cause for instance as typing it vibrates very slowly. So, by playing with codes they can be achieved, at least as theoretically

GO SMS PRO Notification vibration

I searched and couldn't find any one else posting this question. I just got the Note last night. I've used Go SMS pro for a long time and want to stick with it. Everything set up fine except the notification doesn't vibrate. I sent them a request but I doubt I'll hear back.
I still have my tbolt and double checked all vibration settings and it still doesn't work. Has anyone had this problem and fixed it?
Thanks

Same issue here. When I set my phone to vibration mode via widget locker, I don't get vibration notification. Fix will be appreciated!
Are you saying you get vibrations at other times?
I just set the phone to silent mode and then it works....hmmm that doesn't make sense. I'm I missing something?
Actually the only sounds I like are vibrations for texts(no tone), phone calls and my alarm. So I would be good if I could hear the phone and the alarm
Ok this is weird.
In silent mode, if I adjust the haptic vibration it determines how much it vibrates in Go sms, even if I have haptic feedback turned off. Notification vibration doesn't effect the gosms notification vibration afaict
So I uncheck silent mode and check haptic feedback. Nope doesn't work...So does this happen to others with Go SMS pro? I'm also using Go Launcher if that matters.
I wasn't getting much help because this was probably an erroneous problem. I think the issue was restoring my settings that I had saved from my previous phone.
I decided to just uninstall/reinstall and do the settings manually.
Works fine now....
Makes we wonder about other settings and backups I restored...
Similar issue
Go SMS vibrates for notifications, but it's not as intense as the stock messaginf app. I've checked all my settings...everything checks out, but it's hardly noticeable in my pocket. I've tried reinstalling it, but it has the same results.

I have inverse issue. I am unable to turn OFF the vibration. Permissions work all over the system except the SMS notification in Go SMS. It won't stop vibrating in any mode and in any case. I have tried all apps but unable to fix it.
BTW, I have sky vega 760S, it is rooted but I am unable to install CWM or any custom recovery. If I could flash a custom ROM, like I had CM10 in my previous 760, this issue had been gone.

How to turn ON vibration only for voice calls ?

I really dont get those idiots at Sony, why cant I have vibration only for calls and not for SMS and e-mails ? There are options like never, always, with sound and without sound but there is no separate option for notification vibration ! I actually want to turn off vibration for Viber because those developers dont care about customers requests at all, there is that stupid notification when you receive new message even when you write a reply and of course, not a word about different notification or vibration ON/OFF in Viber settings, bravo for those dudes.
So, my question is, can I somehow leave vibration for calls and turn it off for notifications ? Galaxy S II has that, are they so much smarter than Sony people ? I would expect that kind of stupidity on iPhone but this should be a lot more customizable platform and I can tell after 6 months with Galaxy S II that Samsung could be the king of Androids, this Sony has a few things that I cannot believe that they have it released without it.
Tnx
You can disable sms vibration from sms settings and for emails

I think you could use Lightflow to do that.
I am using Lightflow to create my own notifications (led color, speed, sound, vibration (and patterns). Works very well!
Please dont make jokes I have one thread in Apps department saying that Lightflow does not work on my phone :-/ Can you tell me step-by-step how to install this app ? I have installed it, gave it acessibility and test works but for notification I get default color and sound. I have no root and my bootloader is not unlocked.
Tnx
(Please note: I have rooted my phone since the beginning and never tried Lightflow without root! But ofcourse you can just try the following steps. I hope it works for you!)
What I did to configure lightflow:
- Install Lightflow, very simple from Google Play;
- Enable it in Accessibility;
- Turn off vibration completely in the phone settings menu > sounds;
- Turn off default tones in the phone settings menu > sounds;
- Open Lightflow, choose the program and the way you want to let it notify you.
Works perfect!
Thanks a lot, now I think that it works, I needed to make factory reset of the phones settings and that what you have said, I have no root. BUT this damn Viber still has his default vibration and sound, is there a way to disable his notification and use LightFlow ?
Tnx

How to easily silence system/keyboard sounds/vibrations (and media volume)

Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow with default keyboard on Nexus 5.
Looking for at least easily accessible toggles. I prefer the default behaviour except at night. Already scheduled priority mode. This one I'm expecting an answer for. Thanks.
I never use stock roms, so am not sure of the normal set up, but isn't there a Do Not Disturb toggle in your Quick Settings? If not, you should be able to activate it with the System UI Tuner as described here:

Like I said, priority mode is already set. I'm specifically looking for an easy way to disable and re-enable:
Dial pad tones (unnecessary, but in the same settings page)
Charging sounds
Touch sounds
Vibrate on touch
Sound on keypress (different settings page)
And maybe media volume (can easily do that, but combine it with the others and it'd be great)

I understand what you are asking. When I turn on the Do Not Disturb mode from the toggle in my Quick Settings on the Nexus 6 on 6.0.1, it turns off all of the sounds/vibrations that you mentioned. I am running a custom rom, but pretty sure this is the default behavior.

Meant vibrate on keypress, not sound on keypress. Thanks though, never knew total silence worked like that (actually never tried).
Actually, totally forgot I set haptic feedback as one of the buttons on Notification Toggle by j4velin... That and always on screen are the most useful features of it I'd say.
And disabled keyboard vibrations, didn't really like it in the first place. Question solved!

Weak haptic feedback

Hi All,
I really love this phone, finally I feel like I don't need to compromise for a first time ever. However I found the vibrating really weak for incoming calls and notifications. I thought that the hardware can't do more, but today I was fooling around with the Fluid Navigation Gestures app and tested the haptic feedback on maximum strength, it was much stronger than the system default. Is there any way to modify the system settings? Or any modding for it?
Am I alone with this desire? I don't even feel the incoming calls and messages when my phone is in vibrating mode and placed in my pocket.
Thanks all
yes vibration feedback is weak and sadly unadjustable
