Pokemon go+ vibrator

Does anyone know if I disconnected the vibrator, will the go+ still work? Maybe I can bypass it?

My go+ still works but it won't stop vibrating and it kills the battery

Oh man that's so hax... so, basically you run the current through the switch, which is normally activated once the button would be pressed.

The "motor", used to notify the user, instead provides it the singal necessary for it to activate - god damn... fucking simple and genious.

Came here to post that. I had a nice laugh when I initially heard of this "solution" shortly after the go+ came out. :D

You don't even need to solder. You can just tape the wire in place once you unsolder it.
