Q: Any way to stop vibration when plugged into power source?

Is there any way (perhaps through an app.) to get the phone not to vibrate when it is plugged into a power source? My old Nokia did this. I'd like the phone not to vibrate when it is plugged in next to my bed and I am sleeping.

MacBook Pro 13", Mac OS X (10.6.5), iPhone 4

A:

You can use the "Do not disturb" function (moon on the control centre) which is exactly what you are looking for, have a look at this Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

    the only thing possible for you to do is turn the vibrate off in settings but other than that thats your only choice..

    Darn. That's what I thought. Apple needs to fix this. This is annoying.

    I don't understand your question. My IP 4 does not vibrate when plugged into a power source (either with the standard white cord or a iHome OEM power stand with built-in speakers). And my phone is set to vibrate on inbound calls.

    Hard to tell from your post, but it would appear that IF your phone does vibrate, it's only for a moment. Don't understand why this would be a big deal for you.

    Note, my phone does briefly vibrate when I turn the sound switch to silent.

    It's a big deal because it wakes me up.

    How did you get your not to vibrate when plugged in but still have it vibrate when not plugged in?

    Why not put the Iphone into Airplane mode then it won't vibrate because it won't receive any calls, emails or text messages? As soon as you turn it on in the morning they will all come flooding through.

    The problem is airplane mode is twofold:

    1. I'd have to change settings every night and every morning. That is annoying. There should be a simply check box for no vibration when attached to power.

    2. Missed calls

    Airplane mode takes one second to enable and disable and certainly no more cumbersome than a setting that switches vibration off when plugged in even if such a setting existed. There wouldn't be any missed calls as the phone would be off and anyone who does call would go straight to voicemail.

    A lot of people don't leave voicemails, so it's important to see the missed calls.

    Settings - sounds - vibrate on silent to off

    Time taken to do this maybe 2 seconds and achieves what you want.

    Ah, I get it now. You want to have a silent phone that takes messages while you're sleeping. AND you want to see any calls where the caller hung up without leaving a message. Maybe you should try leaving your phone in another room while you're sleeping since you DON'T WANT TO BE WOKEN for any reason while you're sleeping. I think you need to "cut" your lifeline time down a bit.

    Or you could try turning the sound all the way down while you're sleeping.

    Of course, I'm not in the 24/7 phone business. Life's too short to be totally wired IMHO.

    No need for ad hominem attacks. I just want to be able to use the iPhone the way I have used other cell phones in the past. I hope Apple allows us to change these settings. Allowing us to set ring profiles--meeting, sleep, loud, etc--would be nice.

    There are also good reasons for having a phone bedside--like if you wake up in the middle of the night and want to call someone without getting out of bed or if you use the iPhone as an alarm clock.

    Why you want the phone in bed with you is your business. Unfortunately, the lack of customisation of your phone is Apple's business. One of the things you have to accept when you migrate to the Iphone platform is that you will be unable to customise it at all in the way you can with Nokia or Blackberry's with different profiles. It is very much a one size fits all philosophy with almost no room for manoeuvre. Fortunately the good points of the Iphone far outweigh the bad points but that still means that the things that irk us continue to irk us. For me the ongoing annoyance is the inability to customise SMS and text tones.

    Didn't say I wanted it "in bed"--just next to my bed on my nightstand. I sense that you are making value judgments.
