Why Is Call Vibration So Intense on My OnePlus 13

If your OnePlus 13 vibrates too strongly whenever you get a call, you’re not alone. The default vibration intensity can feel excessive, especially when the phone is on a desk or in your pocket. Fortunately, you can tone it down easily through the settings.

The reason for this issue often lies in the vibration intensity configuration, haptic feedback options, or alert settings for calls. Let’s look at what causes the problem and how to fix it.

Why Your OnePlus 13 Vibration Feels Too Strong

  • Call vibration intensity is set to the maximum level.
  • Haptic feedback is enabled for system controls and notifications.
  • Vibration pattern or tone conflicts with your ringtone settings.
  • Temporary software glitch affecting vibration calibration.
  • System updates or restored settings resetting vibration preferences.

Adjust the Vibration Intensity.

Your OnePlus 13 lets you control how strong the vibration feels for calls, notifications, and touch feedback. Reducing it can make call alerts gentler.

  1. Open Settings, and then tap Sound and vibration.
  2. Tap Vibration intensity, and then drag the Incoming call vibration slider to a lower level.

You can also adjust sliders for Notifications and Touch feedback if those feel too strong.

Change the Vibration Pattern.

Certain vibration patterns feel stronger because they pulse rapidly. Switching to a different one may make the vibration less jarring.

  1. Open Settings, and then tap Sound and vibration.
  2. Tap Vibration pattern, and then select a different option from the list.

Try a smoother or shorter pattern to see which feels more comfortable.

Turn Off System Haptics.

Haptic feedback gives subtle vibrations when you tap keys, adjust sliders, or navigate menus. Turning it off helps minimize overall vibration intensity.

  1. Open Settings, and then tap Sound and vibration.
  2. Scroll down, and then toggle off System haptics.

This will make your OnePlus 13 feel quieter and smoother to use.

Restart Your Phone.

If the vibration remains unusually strong, it might be a temporary glitch. Restarting the device clears background processes and refreshes system behavior.

  1. Press and hold the Power key and Volume Up key at the same time.
  2. Tap Restart when the menu appears.

Once your phone powers back on, test the vibration again by making a call.

Check for Software Updates.

Software updates often include fixes for hardware control issues like vibration calibration. Keeping your phone up to date ensures the best performance.

  1. Open Settings, and then tap About device.
  2. Tap OxygenOS, and then tap Check for updates.

If an update is available, install it, and restart your device afterward.

Adjusting the vibration settings on your OnePlus 13 takes only a few moments, but it makes a big difference in daily comfort. Once you find the right balance, your phone will alert you effectively without feeling overwhelming.


FAQs

Why does my OnePlus 13 vibrate even in silent mode?

Because vibration alerts are separate from sound profiles. You can disable them under Settings > Sound and vibration > Silent mode by turning off Vibrate on silent.

Can third-party apps affect vibration strength?

Yes. Some apps like messaging or call-recording tools can override system vibration settings. Try checking each app’s notification settings.

Is it safe to disable haptics completely?

Yes. Turning off haptics only removes feedback for touch interactions and won’t affect your phone’s functionality. It can even help save a bit of battery life.
