Something I'd like to see in an update at some time would be a way to completely turn off vibrations.  I have the vibrations strength turned all the way to the left (so it should technically be off), and I have gone through every app on my phone to turn off vibrations, and yet, when I get a notification, a call, or even events in some mobile games, it vibrates.  I've gone through the settings from top to bottom, each and every app, and turned off anything that mentions vibrations, and STILL it vibrates.  I would love to see a master switch that you can flip on and off.  I suggested this to the feedback section, but only got a copy and paste reply on how to turn it off....which I have already done.  :(

Can you confirm if you have turn off vibration under

Settings → Sounds and vibrations → Vibration intensity

Hmmm...Seems like you missing incoming calls and notifications vibration control.

Which device model you are using?

From my local Eastlink kiosk. I notice this problem comes up on the Samsung forums a lot. Looks like I'm not the only one.

Could be software problem? 🤔

You can try boot to recovery mode to do a Wipe Cache Partition first:

- Power off your phone
- Press and hold Vol Up and Power key
- Release both button when you are in Recovery mode
- Use Vol keys to navigate
- Choose Wipe Cache Partition
- Press Power Key to ok
- Click Yes
- Click Reboot System

Go back to Settings → Sounds and vibrations → Vibration intensity

Check if incoming calls and notifications control there.

If not, you may have to use Samsung SmartSwitch do a full backup, then factory reset your phone.

If after factory reset still not showing those 2 options under Vibration intensity, then the problem is in A52 phone.

Good Lord that's a lot of messing around for a person with zero computer smarts. I'll see what I can do. Thank you all for your help.

Can't you just turn all vibrations off from System sound/vibration control, switch it all off?Screenshot_20210715-210227_Settings_305.jpg
