you don't need any of those apps, they create a lot of isses

in fact

Android apps that use power control APIs are often 'battery killers,' oh the irony

once you connect your phone it will tell you if you have an update or that you have the latest software if so at the bottom corner you can see a button that says install

Before repairing or updating u may try following

1) switch off vibrate thro the settings menu (vibrate never). This should not let ur phone vibrate in call mode or even in silent mode. If this is ok then

2) Put vibrate setting only when sound is off. Then put notification settings to No sound ie. sound > never (no tone sound chosen)

This should work.

If (1) does not work ie phone vibration in call can not be switched off then try repairing and updating
