How to turn off vibration when receiving imessages when app is open...

When I had my 4s, whenever I received an imessage when the app wasn't actively open, it would vibrate to alert me of the message.  When I opened the app to read my messages and I'm having a text conversation, the phone no longer vibrated for incoming texts while the app was actively open.  I liked this feature as the phone wouldn't be constantly shaking for each and every line of text I receive.  I now own the 5s and notice that the phone vibrates for every message, even when the app is open.  How do I set the phone up so it behaves just like when I had the 4s?  I don't want the phone to vibrate at all when the app is open, only when it is running in the background and I'm receiving a new, unread message.

Guys, I have exactly the same problem with my 5s. I would say it is a software glitch in all 5s firmwares. I have 7.0.6 and still the problem is there. I don't know about newest 7.1, I will eventually try install it. This really makes me crazy because when I chat and have the app open it vibrates with every new message and it is a shock for me every time Very annoyinh indeed. We should  report this bug to Apple. My wife has 4s and it works perfect for her - no vibrations when app is open... So it's definitelly a bug...

    debrafromusa,
    This would be an extremely bad idea, the start up tone is there for a reason. It tells you when your system is attempting to  boot, it is also necessary in the even resets like a PRAM reset are done. There is software to mask the sound however as stated it is a very poor idea.
    Also, why turn it off. Why not simply put the display to sleep when the machine is not in use. You can easily do that in System Preferences - Energy Saver

  • How to turn off alarms when iCal is not running

    iCal-Version 4.0.4 (1395)
    Imagine giving a lecture supported by powerpoint in front of an audience, all applications turned off except of powerpoint, and suddenly popping up the iCal alarm message "meet her (xy) in the pub". How can I turn off alarms when iCal is NOT running?
    cheers
    knatterton

    Hey!  I was DJ'ing and an iCal alarm went off even though I'd selected to have alarms not go off when iCal is not running.  Now that option isn't there anymore!  Can I revert to the previous version of iCal?  I don;t see any other new features that are worth not having interruptions during DJ'ing and presentations!  I know that if I turn off all alarms, I will forget.  I'd create an alarm to remind me to turn it back on, but...  This is REALLY annoying.

  • Turn off vibration when receiving a text

    Hello,
    How do I turn off any vibration when receieving an SMS text message?
    I tried to do this by going to:
    Messaging App -> Settings -> Uncheck "Notification Vibration"
    This made the vibration sound be softer, but it still has a vibration sound.
    How can I turn this off completely please?
    Thanks.

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    You can either hold the ON/OFF button down for 2-3 seconds and you should find three options in the bottom of this list (silent, only vibration or sound) or you can hold the volume down(-) button to the lowest and it will go to vibration mode, press the button once again to make the phone silent.

  • How do I turn off vibrations when changing sound preferences?

    I recently changed from syncing from my iphone to my computer to syncing it to icloud.  Well it reset all my settings upon both syncs and now it vibrates every time I change a tone of some sort.  I gone into my settings and have the vibrations turned off under sounds, yet it continues to vibrate whether I have the phone on silent or otherwise. It is very annoying.  Please help Apple community! What can I do to get these vibrations to turn off completely?  I never want the phone to vibrate.

    Someone else reported this sound last September, but there wasn't any resolution to that thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/938003 After upgrading to Snow Leopard on my Mac, Firefox makes typewriter or paper crinkling sounds when going to links and sites].
    Does it seem to be at all related to whether pages use Flash? Just wondering whether it is some kind of notification sound related to Flash's capabilities of using the webcam and microphone.

  • [iOS 8] How to turn off vibrate notifications on new calendar invitations?

    I don't want any notification when I receive a new calendar invitation via Exchange.  I had no problems disabling this in iOS 7 and earlier, but with iOS 8 I can't seem to turn off the vibrate notification.  In Settings...Notifications...Calendar...Invitations, I've turned off everything there.  Notification Sound is set to None, and Vibration is also set to None. 
    Yet whenever I receive a new calendar invitation, my phone does a short vibrate.  No alert shows up on the screen, just a short vibrate.
    How do I silence this thing?
    Using iOS 8, iPhone 5S 64GB.

    Here is what finally worked for me in ios8 (8.1.2)
    Settings > Notifications > Calendar > Invitations > Notification Sound > Set *both the alert tone and vibration* to None (they are separate settings.)  The view from the Invitations form is a little misleading - the Notification sound will say "None" even if there is a vibration setting other than None.
    Not sure when this changed but it was making me a LITTLE CRAZY.

  • Turn off vibration when in case

    I have turned off all the vibration options on my Blackberry Curve, however when I put it into a case, everytime I receive an email it vibrates.  This is the same for everyone else in the office.  How can I prevent it vibrating everytime I receive an email.

  • How to turn off vibrate for alarm on iphone 5 ios 6?

    with the release of the iphone 5, apple changed the dock connection...so i can no longer use it with my ihome alarm clock without an adapter.
    since apple has not yet made available the adapter, i've been using alarm in the clock app to wake-up.
    i love that i can set the alarm to a song...but i do not like that it vibrates when the alarm goes.
    how do i turn off the vibration for the alarm on my iphone 5 running ios 6?
    thanks.

    Thanks. Seems like this cropped up after the iOS 6 upgrade. Too bad Apple doesn't quality control their software before release. Something like alarm sounds is a pretty big oversight, kind of like maps. Your solution is right on the money even if it is a very roundabout way of getting to the desired result. A simple software fix would be to offer  a sounds/vibrate option for ringtones, reminders, and alarms at the "settings" level. Other than oversight, I cant think of an ulterior motive for having it buried in ringtones.  Thanks again for the fix!

    HOw can i turn off the iphone 4S when there is an issue with the screen and i cannot get to swipe it off

    Hold down power and home together. When the screen goes dark, let go. It should be powered off. If you continue holding them until the Apple appears, it will re-boot.

  • How to turn off measurements when using the line tool

    Hello.  I'm sorry to trouble you with this small thing but its driving me nuts.  I'm using a shared computer at a university and we just upgraded to CS6.  When I use the line tool while making a mask a box pops up which measures the line's length and angle.  I want to turn it off, and it blocks being able to see what I am trying to mask.  I've tried looking this up online and in Photoshop help but I just don't know the correct terminolgy, i.e. what to call it, to find out how to turn it off.  Thank you so much so much for any help!
    here is a jpg screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/njena5x9ppajzqq/linetool.jpg

    That looks like the on-image displays that were added to photoshop cs6
    You should be able to turn that off in Photoshop>Preferences>Interface>Show Transformation Values and set Never as the value.

  • Turn off vibration when charging

    I have my phone with no vibration and on mute, yet it vibrates whenever I plug it in to charge. How can I remove this?
    Thanks

    As far as I know, you can't, it is a feature to confirm the connection between the phone and the charger. It will only stop vibrating when you switch off the mute button, but this will give you the connection sound back instead.
