Hey I have been using SFOS for a couple of weeks now, and I am already very satisfied. What I am missing is a feature where I can set the vibration on/off. One solution could be a button in the top menu, where to set it on/off. Another possibility could be, that the volume button could turn the vibrator on/off like how Android does it.

To set On/Off would represent: VibraAlways (always on) | VibraNever (always off).

Should be doable, the code is pretty much already there, it just needs to be turned into a menu entry.

All relevant code/files can be found at /usr/share/jolla-settings/

Long tap on the "silent" button brings you directly to the ringtone menu where the vibration selector is the first item. This maybe helps to ease your struggle but I agree that your proposed solutions would be superior.

And depending on what you want to switch the vibration on/off for, you completely automate the thing away using Situations.

e.g.: if it's for total silence during night, you could setup Situation to automatically turn it off during night time.

Hey Thanks for the answers. During night I usually switch of the device. I usually need to turn off vibration when I am at the office - but not always. Therefore I need the manual solution to setup vibration. At the moment I use the solution you suggested, Spark, which is better than nothing, but a little clunky and not very satisifying 😊

For the "usually" part, you could use Situation and detect the office based on e.g.: the Wifi SSD

For the not always part: yup currently clunky. The laziest solution would probably be to put the necessary dbus commands inside shell scripts and have icons launch them.

It is possible that you define an Ambiente where the vibration is off. Then switch between the two Ambiente.

Hey That sounds like a great solution. I can't find a menu in the ambience setup, where that is possible. How do I setup vibration in the ambiences?

… simply not possible through that ;-) a feature been asked for many times. Q 4155 asked Dec 27 '13 and WiKi 1319 asked Dec 25 '13 …
