I have googled and searched the forum, but I don't seem to find a right answer for this. All I want to do is when I put my phone on silence mode. I will still receive vibrate notification for emails and texts.
I tried to download the tools from the market and played with the setting for hours. I still cannot get it to work.
Someone please help!
so you want it to make no sounds ?
you don't need any fancy tools>>
just settings > sound> general> silent mode
and settings > sound> general>vibration> only when not in silent mode
you can probably get most behaviors by messing with those 2 settings combined with phone ringtone and notification rintone you should be able to make it do whatever you want without any other software
if you just want to kill the phone ringer but leave notification vibrations
then vibration only in silent mode
turn off silent mode
and set the phone ringtone to silent
and turn down the volume all the way

Ok so I know my way around a phone or too so I think this should be obvious but please if you can help me out here. I recently purchased the HTC Surround which I am beyond happy about, fantastic phone. However this seems to be an OS question more than phone.
I haven't found a simple way to have the Silent mode on without going to settings and disabling the Vibrate function. With Vibrate turned on if you hold down the volume key until 0 it switches to vibrate and there is no way of getting to full Silent mode. Can anyone help me with this if I am just missing something obvious here.
Thank you in advance
i don't think there is a silent mode as of yet. also, when you hit volume, you don't have to bring it all the way to 0, you can merely tap the icon on the right and it will flick between ring and viberate. though the problem with doing this i've found is that when you go into a game, the game still utilises the sound which i found a bit strange.

It's a bit annoying, but you'll have to go into ringtones and sounds in the settings and turn vibrate OFF. Then, when you go down to 0 it will be silent. You'll have to change vibrate back to ON when you want it back.
is there a way to set text messages and emails to vibrate? i haven't seen this in the emulator.

if you set the phone's profile to viberate, it quiets all the OS' built in notifications and typing and that. it does not however quiet apps/games sounds. only way to do that is drop the volume itself.
what i mean is on the normal volume profile can i sent a ring tone for calls, and vibrate for texts and emails?
not at present. it's still very simple on/off stuff for most, hopefully MS really goes through each section of the OS and brings it to the level of what is expected in high end phones.
Not an answer to the ops question, but if you press the down volume button, you can then click the "ring" icon and it will cycle between ring and vibrate (I would have expected silent there too)

Settings - Sound - Vibrate (When calls & notification ) - Disable that and it should be fine. Or doesn't that help ?
I have already done the settings in sound, still it does not help.

Tried putting it on "No-Sound" mode ? (Add Sound Widget, there are 3 modes : Sound, Vibrate, No Sound)
That last one should disable everything if I'm correct ?
Uncheck pocket mode
Settings > sound> pocket mode (Uncheck it)

I have the same problem here. I don't think turning the pocket mode off is the right fix. It vibrates even I leave it on the table.
Yeah same for me the damn vibration woke me up as its really loud. I have pocket mode enabled though, isnt it only supposed to put the volume up? Besides my phone was laying on a table with the sensor unblocked

same problem .. i have turned off all vibrating option and still it vibrate when message and call comes
Vibrate Issues - Could be a Common Problem with Android
I think this is a common problem with Android phones as this happens not only on my EVO 3D but also on a brand new Sony Xperia P. Even restarting the phone after changing/toggling between vibrate on and off between restarts does not help. Despite checking all settings and turning off, when any notification or an incoming call or anything happens, the phone vibrates!
I have checked all applications' settings too because some settings are there for vibrate for notifications. IMO chat app, etc and even in messaging I have vibrate turned off under settings for notifications and STILL the phone vibrates! This IS an ISSUE and I don't see why Android developers:highfive: or even Mobile Company QA personnel:cyclops: have not bothered to check this BASIC issue and Resolve it over so long! Could be the cause of why Android Battery life sucks so much or an inherited bug! Tried this even on a HTC Explorer.
From what I've read around there is NO way to disable all vibrations in non-rooted android phones! Kinda stupid if you ask me. For a rooted phone you have to download an app like either Spare Parts and disable vibration via that. Why they don't have the option to globally disable all vibration as default settings on Android beats me?! You can turn off vibration under settings for notifications and anything but you WILL still get vibrate despite turning all vibrate settings OFF! They HAVE to rectify this nonsense! Basic functionality and they can't even get that right!
Has anyone experience your Galaxy Nexus automatically changing from Vibrate mode to Silent mode after 1 vibrate and stays in silent mode?
I'm running Jelly Bean 4.1.1 and this is really annoying because if I don't notice the 1 vibration, I'll miss every subsequent notification until I check my phone. Even if I turn the phone on and change it back to vibrate, it will do the same thing again, 1 vibrate from a notification and it will switch to silent mode again.
I have Profile Schedule+ as my profile management app.
If there's any other info I can provide that could help, please let me know! I've tried searching google and XDA but couldn't find any solutions :crying:
Thanks XDA!!

Google changed the vibrate for notifications feature in JB. All profile apps that have options like "disable vibrate for notifications" won't work (I tossed AudioManager out the window). I'd try if vibration behaves well without a profile app.
Before it was easy. I had one button in the notifications panel and this cycled through 4 options.
On
Silent - totally silent
Vibrate
Priority - people and apps I'd allowed make to noise at certain times whilst everyone else is silent.
Now I have 2 buttons
1. Sound, which cycles though 3 options
on
Silent
Vibrate
But silent tells me when I cycle through the alarms ring even when set to silent. So is it really silent?
2. I have a do not disturb option
I select this and priority only turns on. There seems to be no simple way of changing this to silent.
To go to silent I have to click on the priority notification/sounds and vibrations/total silence/exit.
So I assume that is now completely silent?
But that's now the default and If I want to go to priority only then I need to click on the total silent notification/sounds and vibrations/total silence/exit.
Questions
What am I missing here because this is a mess?????
All I want to do is basically how it was before. Easily switch between, silent, priority and sound is there an easier way?
And which of these two options for silent should I use?
I'm not rooted.
I totally agree!! It is a mess n thank god i m not alone!
Hi Guys,
How to activate the silent mode in the 5t? I am looking for complete silent mode like we have in Samsung phones. I am able to reduce noise level but it cannot be reduced fully. I am looking for silent mode+vibration for calls.
Thanks
Over volume button You have slider to switch sound profiles, test it in all 3 states. You can also set own settings in there.

Have tried the DND button but a. it disables all the vibration and b. it does not solve the purpose of silent for every call, sms, notification etc and vibration for them all. Never thought such a simple setting would be missing.
I'm using "Ringer Modes - Quick Tile" to get the mode like Samsung
Just slide the switch on the left side of the phone (right above the volume buttons) all the way up. That's the vibrate only mode.
If you switch it to the middle you get Do Not Disturb mode and all the way down is normal mode. The switch work the exact same way as the silent/vibrate mode of all other phones.
