My generic PS3 gamepad won't stop vibrating when plugged into my phone

My generic ps3 controller works on both my computer and my Android phone, but it has two issues. It doesn't ever vibrate when I use it with my computer, and as soon as it's plugged into my phone it vibrates and never stops. As I said it's generic and pretty cheap, but I assume there is some kind of general fix that works with most gamepads. If not, is there a way to just permanently disable the vibration all together? I don't have any soldering tools, but I may be able to open it up to do something albeit not my preference.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Hi @skittlyrainbow ,

Does it do this when you plug it into another similar type of phone i.e. Android or iPhone?

if not perhaps it is a setting in the phone causing the problem. What is the make and model number of the phone?

I believe it happens when in another phone, yes. It's a Galaxy j3 crown

Also, the model number is SM-S767VL

If you want to get rid of the vibrating, hardware-style, open up the controller and disconnect the rumble motors.

Good luck!
