Thank you so much! I got this recently as a gift for Christmas and I want to use it while at work but the vibration would be too noticable. Very helpful and easy to follow video thanks!
Great video! Appreciate the in-depth info about not needing to unscrew the battery unless unsoldering. My handy-man husband was all too ready to dive into this thing as revenge for the early morning wake-up call.
Thanks for the video, do you think there is a way to connect the main button to the vibrator or the led to make it auto catch with great and ultra balls?
That’s a software feature. That’s why they made it to you can only control that in the app. Maybe a hacker could prove me wrong but I’m pretty sure it can’t be done by rewiring like you could in the go plus model.
from what i have heard holing the button down like the old Ballplus doesn't work on this device so wiring to think its always pressed wont work if its even possible, so like @rafsoto24 said it will be software based it would likley need the chip modding or something like that which is way out of my league unfortuatly
Which ones do I cut to get rid of the sound and vibration? I thought you said don’t cut red and black or red and white but then I heard you say cut red and black so I just wanna make sure
The lights are under the front cover I didn't stop mine lighting up so dint look into to much but from memory it's on a ribbon cables between the front and back cover
I just got mine wet and it seems to not turn on and I was wondering if you got any tips or anything because I have zero idea what to do and i spent 60 $ on this 😭😭
I opened up mine to see if i could clean it because the main white button stopped working due to a drink spilling on it briefly and leaving some residue. looked up this video cause the vibration was also driving me nuts so i figured i might as well try and get rid of it while i’ve opened it up anyway. have you got any idea if i can safely unscrew the button side of the inside (so the white part) just to clean it out then close it back up again? it isn’t working currently anyway so if i break it then at least i tried to fix it lol. any advice would be appreciated 🥲
I'd say it fine to unscrew just be careful there may be little ribbon cables connecting the led lights and button. So I'm sure it will be fine if u just take your time
@@KarlFixes I got a PH00 screwdriver and it doesnt fit, so it has to be PH000 or PH0000. Im going out to get a set that has the PH000 now really hope that does the trick lol.
There is a silent mode hold the top button and long press the center button will mute the device so you don't have to cut the speaker wire it will still vibrate unfortunately
if you have ripped the ribbon you need a new one other wise you need to unscrew the white led board and then re attach the ribbon cable under that or same on the other end i haven't had mine out so hopefully its a connecter and not soldered
This was SOOOO helpful. Straight to the point with no BS. Thank you so much!

Thank you for making this video! The vibration was driving me crazy lol
Glad it helped!
Greatest video out there. Worked perfectly fine! I can finally enjoy the device properly.

Karl, a pro: You use your pry tools to get inn there
Me, a plebian: Fingies are pry tools, yes yes
Best comment
Ot at least tries, bro killed me. Thanks for the video dude!
I ended up cutting one wire and capping them off, I got a sharpie and painted the rubber part where the led sit to dim the light.
sharpie is a good idea the light is super bright but its handy to still have i might do that
Thanks for the video¡ 😃
Great video! I'm going to try it out for myself. Just to let you know, though, the sound can be disabled via the app
it can but only the catch sounds i think the sleep sounds are still active which is also very annoying
You can switch off the vibration via app?
@@thanoj10Not for the plus plus
Thank you sir very much 😂
I wonder if it’s possible to solder on a button to toggle the motor on and off. I really don’t want to remove the function completely.
I think i remember reading that you can just turn off the Pikachu voice in the settings. Or do you actually have to cut the cables for that as well?
I think u can turn it off it's is really annoying

@@rafsoto24 yea if you put it on manual in de app, but wire it so ti button thinks its being presses you are there right
from what i have heard holing the button down like the old Ballplus doesn't work on this device so wiring to think its always pressed wont work if its even possible, so like @rafsoto24 said it will be software based it would likley need the chip modding or something like that which is way out of my league unfortuatly
Is it likely that they will update the software to be able to turn off vibration in the settings in the future? or is this the only way?
I'd say it's unlikely to be honest I'll end up cutting mine off eventually
8 months still no update, cut mine today
Solid video, great work
If you cut the black and red wire will the plus plus go quite
I cut both the black and red wires what did this do to the plus
Which ones do I cut to get rid of the sound and vibration? I thought you said don’t cut red and black or red and white but then I heard you say cut red and black so I just wanna make sure
cut the red and black thats the vibration, red and white is the battery so DO NOT cut that for sound its the blue and white you need to cut
To disable the vibration do I have to cut both red and black wires or can I cut only one (red or black)?
you can just cut 1 of them it will do the same either colour
Anyone wondering the screwdriver i used ph000. i think screw is j00
you can turn off the pikachu voice in the Settings from Pokemon go. no need to destroy it.
thx
He muted Pikachu!
I think a spring fell out from my power button and now it no longer clicks the top. Any chance someone knows how to put it back together?
This video is incredible!
Knowing niantic they probably won't patch the vibrate any time soon. Even then it might be 2-3 gens out of this device before they offer a patch.
Did you ever figure out how to tuen off the light?? I dont know which cable to cut
The lights are under the front cover I didn't stop mine lighting up so dint look into to much but from memory it's on a ribbon cables between the front and back cover
Sadly the brown ribble cable come loose and it dosent blink anymore, does anyone know how to attach it again?
Does disconnecting the vibration motor and speaker improve battery life?
In theory it should yes
I just got mine wet and it seems to not turn on and I was wondering if you got any tips or anything because I have zero idea what to do and i spent 60 $ on this 😭😭
No idea is it charged. I'd return it if you think it's faulty
Wouldn’t just cutting one of the wires have the same effect?
it probably would yes but if you cutting them you may as well cut both so your not going to get any potential issues having some thing half connected
@@KarlFixes thank you for the reply. I wasn’t being facetious, I’m almost completely electronically ignorant. Thank you for clarifying. 👍🏻
Does this increase the battery life of ot
i think it would if you disconnect the vibration i don't think the sound will make much difference to the battery
I opened up mine to see if i could clean it because the main white button stopped working due to a drink spilling on it briefly and leaving some residue. looked up this video cause the vibration was also driving me nuts so i figured i might as well try and get rid of it while i’ve opened it up anyway. have you got any idea if i can safely unscrew the button side of the inside (so the white part) just to clean it out then close it back up again? it isn’t working currently anyway so if i break it then at least i tried to fix it lol. any advice would be appreciated 🥲
I'd say it fine to unscrew just be careful there may be little ribbon cables connecting the led lights and button. So I'm sure it will be fine if u just take your time
Mine won’t turn on do you know how to fix it ?
What is the size for the screwdriver head?
i don't know for sure but its tiny Phillips head screw,
@@KarlFixes I got a PH00 screwdriver and it doesnt fit, so it has to be PH000 or PH0000. Im going out to get a set that has the PH000 now really hope that does the trick lol.
I used a 1/16 inch precision screwdriver Phillips, or at least whats what the box said when i bought it.
There is a silent mode hold the top button and long press the center button will mute the device so you don't have to cut the speaker wire it will still vibrate unfortunately
I pull the ribbon trying to open it, can someone help me how to fix it
if you have ripped the ribbon you need a new one other wise you need to unscrew the white led board and then re attach the ribbon cable under that or same on the other end i haven't had mine out so hopefully its a connecter and not soldered
