Vibration on-off

Is there a way to turn off the vibration?
Thank you.

Type this on the terminal emulator.

gsettings set org.sigxcpu.feedbackd profile silent

And for the keyboard only should be

gsettings set org.sigxcpu.feedbackd.application:/org/sigxcpu/feedbackd/application/sm-puri-squeekboard/ profile silent

Thank you very much

To turn it back on I have to type: gsettings set org.sigxcpu.feedbackd profile ………?

full

the options are full quiet and silent but not sure what quiet does

In the L5’s quick settings panel, clicking the notification icon, you can have:
Bell (sound and vibration on)
Quiet (vibration only)
Silent (sound and vibration off)

I don’t know which, if any, of those corresponds to the available gsettings options…but it’s always fun to experiment. :wink:

That’s it, there is no option of only sound!
Trying out the gsettings option is a bit above my abilities.:pensive:

As @amarok say on: Silent (sound and vibration off) mean sound only. I am a little confused with that option patterns.

It isn’t. @spaetz, in his article, kindly wrote on how this works (some logic inclusive):

No, Silent means no sound and no vibration.

All you have to do is type the command (exactly) and hit Enter. :slight_smile:

And if you set up SSH, you could just copy and paste it from your computer to the L5’s terminal (after logging in remotely from your computer).

We are talking about the gsettings Carlos suggested earlier?

Yes. Feel the power! (Although profile silent means no audio and no vibration.)

:upside_down_face: It is like pulling teeth! So to get rid of the vibration, I have to dismantle the phone and break out the vibration module? :flushed:

You want sound but no vibration?

Exactly! Maybe it can be added as an option?

Or you can just wait for an update. :wink:

Thank you.

I was super annoyed by the keyboard vibration as well. You can “monkey patch” it out, it’s described here: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/community-wiki/-/wikis/Squeekboard#vibration

So “full” does vibration on new messages and incomings calls, but not on keyboard pressing. It’s nice and I always find it distracting to enter the LUKS password, because I don’t find a way to disable the keyboard vibration so early at boot.

I want to have on incoming calls only sound, but no vibration. Is there a way to get this? Thanks
