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)

Hi all, How are you?
I updated my Galaxy Nexus to Jelly Bean, and It seems that silent mode options were removed from Settings?
I have spent some time searching for the silent mode options on Settings and I could not figure out where they are now.
Please, May someone confirm that Silent mode options were removed from stock Jelly Bean (4.1.1 Build JR003C)?
thanks in advance,
Roger

Hi Roger,
I am new but thought maybe I could help. If you hold the power button for a second a menu will appear. Just touch the speaker with the / through it or just hit volume down until the speaker has a strike through it from the main menu. Does that help?

Use volume rocker down key till it goes to silent mode
Hi all,
thanks a lot for helping.
So, Were the silent options really removed from settings on Android 4.1 stock?Or are they somewhere else?
I could't find it...
Both work around posted works, but it is huge drawback as I can`t switch between Silent mode profiles easily anymore
(normal, only vibrate and mute all profiles) =(
On ICS, I could easily switch between normal profile, vibrate and mute all on Settings as those options where all on the same place.
Is there any Settings menu where I can do the same on Jelly Bean?

Well, using the power button I can switch from normal to vibrate, but I couldn`t find a option to switch it to mute all(I mean, also to silent vibrate). Did I miss something?

It works only to put the phone on vibrate, and It is not efficient/practical hit the volume rocker all the time when You switch among those profiles very often...

I am not sure what is missing because I always use the volume rocker or the power switch to change profiles. If you hold down the power button there should be 3 options on the bottom of the screen. 1. The speaker with a / through it (silent mode) 2. A vibrating phone (vibrate only mode) 3. A regular speaker (all on). If you are not seeing 3 options I am not sure how to solve your problem. Also if you are thankful, please hit the thanks button instead of saying thanks. Cheers and good luck Roger.

Hi NexUsandThem,
thanks a lot for helping again (this time I used the thanks button )
Those options were also available on Settings->Sound on ICS.
I have looked on Android 2.3 and 4.0.4 and those options are present there.
Therefore, I think they were removed from Jelly Bean =/
i have silent mode?

this is from 4.1.1
Well you are definitely missing something as the picture above shows the power-menu on jb with all the 3 actions you have requested? Mine looks like this as well.
Sound Menu API changed with Jellybean update V4.1.1.1
Why did Google change the Mute and Vibrate controls in update V4.1.1.1 ? I have been using two profile managment programs, 1 is automatic and 1 is a set of manual presets of the user's own design.
Changes that messed me up:
-Mute had been removed from the sound menu.
-Vibrate is on automatically on all rings and notifications when you turn the volume down to zero.
My profile programs cannot access the manual controls available when you hold the power button.
Because of the demands of my job, I have become a phone "user", rather than a phone hobbyist who has hours to tinker with a phone. I wish Google wouldn't just scramble controls around between versions, breaking the functionality of profile APPS bought on Google Market.
I am just sort of pissed because of the time lost to this problem and my phone is still vibrating when I don't want it too.

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.
So I've just received my HTC 10. Got it as a gift and it's an upgrade from my Galaxy S6. There is a lot to like, but I've found some very annoying things that I seem unable to solve. Like not being able to edit the Quick Settings and the reason for opening this thread: no way of turning off sound AND vibration while using a an Android Wear watch.
On my S6 I was able to simply turn down the volume until it went to vibrate and then press volume down again. That way the phone was entirely silent and only my watch would vibrate. Not so with the 10. It'll either vibrate or it goes to Do-Not-Disturb mode meaning my watch doesn't vibrate anymore either.
It's extremely annoying as I'm often in meetings with my phone on the table in silent mode. That way I get notifications on my wrist while the phone is silent. Now I'm forced to put everything to silent and miss calls and messages as a result. It totally defeats the purpose of having the watch for notifications.
As I got the phone from HTC I wanted to hold off from rooting it, but it looks like it's either that or going back to the S6. Am I doing something something wrong/not finding the right settings or did HTC just forget?
Thanks in advance for your reply!

Yeah, this is weird from HTC. On previous devices the silent setting would work exactly like the Galaxy S6 one. It's strange that in the 10 it goes straight to DND mode.
As a workaround, if you don't want to root, you can tweak DND Mode to allow every notification through and get it on the smartwatch as well. This is not ideal, especially if you want to use DND mode for what it's meant...

Unfortunately I also use DND often so this is not an ideal solution, but it'll have to do for now
HTC uses the same idea as Nexus device now, since HTC A9, which means the sound profile has only : normal, vibrate, and DND, no silent mode anymore; and the notification panel also followed Nexus, but don't worry, in Android N you can change quick settings in notification panel, just need to wait for 5 months.
Also, you can set up some apps, treat them as priority, so that they may go through. I don't use smart watch so I could be wrong. But this is just a problem about habit, once you get used to it, everything's fine.

The phone also vibrates on messages and emails. There are multiple work arounds, but none as quick as just turning down the volume and have your phone be silent. I don't want to dive into settings everytime I walk into a meeting.

you don't need to dive into the settings,
1: drag down the quick settings and tap on DND, only 2 steps;
2: press and hold volume down button, when switched to vibrates mode, tap on the bell icon, also only 2 steps.

I meant to do the settings where you change the priority mode settings each time you want the phone to be silent, but don't want DND on etc.
Is there any way to mute all notification sounds without vibration? When I'm working I don't want my phone to make any sounds or vibrate while it's laying on my wooden desk. I'm coming from Samsung Galaxy devices and there was always an option to mute ALL notifications, sound and vibration. Am I missing something? Shouldn't have to turn on Do Not Disturb for something so simple that I'm sure many people use.

Lower the volume all the way down then push down again further and the phone will go into a full silent mode except alarms.

Why "shouldn't have to turn on DND"? What you want is exactly what DND does. No sounds and no vibration. You can even choose which notification can go through with priority mode

Yeah I agree. I use the DND toggle all the time right before I go into work. You don't even have to leave the lockscreen.

When DND is on do notifications still show on the screen? I'm asking because I've never used it, just always muted my phone.

They can if you turn off the option which blocks it. Look at the settings under "Block visual disturbances".

I don't understand why turning the volume all the down with the rocker turns on vibrate instead of just turning down the volume. DND presents you with a myriad of options that make muting your phone take more steps than necessary. My S7 had DND and I never had to use it, guess why? Turning down the volume actually turned down the volume and nothing else. I could even mute the phone with the screen off or locked so no I shouldn't have to use a "feature" that takes more button presses than necessary.

That's cool you could do that with the screen off. There's a couple simple ways to do DND from the lockscreen. One is double tapping the screen (or press power) and volume down all the way until you get to vibrate then press volume down again to mute which then turns DND on. You can also get out of DND with the volume button too. Someone mentioned this already. Or you can double tap to wake (Or press power), slide down the the notification menu, tap DND toggle. Both are not many steps really and no unlocking necessary.
