How to Stop Vibrations from Any Android App on Your Phone
A tutorial on how to stop vibrations from any Android app on your phone using a simple ADB command. Eliminate vibrating ads and unwanted game vibrations.
Online advertisements continue finding new ways to annoy the crap out of you. For the past few years, one particular form of online advertisements have plagued mobile devices: the vibrating ad. Using the Vibration API, advertisements have been vibrating your phone to annoyingly grab your attention. This issue has been known for years, but Google was very slow to resolve the issue. Only with Chrome version 60 are vibrating advertisements done away with, but as of now version 60 is only available in the Beta, Dev, and Canary channels of Chrome. However, there's actually a way to manually stop vibrations from any Android app on your phone - without completely putting your phone into silent mode. That means you won't have to wait for application developers to update their apps so they can't vibrate your phone.
