[Solved] one button to make phone silent? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

So is there any way to press one button to make the phone completely silent? I was in class today and I used to notification menu to go in what I thought was silent mode. A few minutes later I accidently went into the galaxy s voice thing and that robotic ***** started shouting during a quiet class.... I tried using the volume rocker and no dice as well.
Edit:solved with simple sound widget. Thanks for the help.

***Your post made me laugh***
You could try that motion thing where the phone mutes when turned face-down. It's under Settings>Motion>9th option down
Not sure if it will work in every situation, particularly your robotic *****, but you can try....

I downloaded Simple Sound Profile Widget. Seems to work pretty well.

Sadly when this happened my phone was faced up so the motion thong won't work. I'll try the wigit though and see how that works out

Phone glitched lost ring tones.

So randomly my phone would not turn on when I pressed the home button. So I took out the batter, put it back in and turned it on. Everything seemed fine until I got a text and this long annoying random song played. So I went to search for my ring tone and noticed the current ones selected said unknown. I went to look for my original tones I downloaded and they are gone. I tried downloading them again and they won't appear. Anyone else have this problem or can help?

Also the red led light is staying on but dim. My phone is at 100% battery and was when it wouldn't turn on.

This happened to me the other day. Select the music folder when you assign the ring tones and they will be in there mixed in with your mp3s, well that's how it was on mine for some odd reason.
Not sure what the glitch is, but ya its kind of annoying.

[Q] How to use the volume button to go from volume --> vibrate --> silent no vibrate?

[Q] How to use the volume button to go from volume --> vibrate --> silent no vibrate?
I had this on my Galaxy S2 and S1...I can't remember how I did it though.
I would like the phone to go from Volume --> vibrate --> slient with just the volume keys, as it is now I have to use the quick toggles to choose between vibrate and silent.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Does it.... You sure that it just doesn't lower the volume and go to vibrate...not mute then vibrate?

It certainly doesnt go volume vibrate silent on stock.. I miss this from my note but like above stated just press the volume button on the notification bar or turn vibrate off and it will go silent when u put volume down

Hrm well I am on clean rom but that's just stock debloated and perseus kernel. It's possible that functionality came from either of this but I don't think it did although of course I could be wrong. If I hit volume down it'll go from sound> vibrate> mute.

Stock drops the volume down and then to vibrate... no mute. As you drop the volume down, 1 step before vibrate still makes a tone, so thats not mute.
I came from a HOX, and that did the Volume down>mute>vibrate.
S.
For some reason I'm on stock rom and mine goes from volume->vibrate->silence.

That's what I've been doing...but not answering my question.
I use power toggle for that, it's on play i find it the fastest way to go. Vol - silent - vibrate

Simple question about mute

I had an epic phone before this and was cyanogen.10 when I upgraded to the s3 and never noticed this until jelly bean and then root. I am stock and just rooted last night and noticed that mute only mutes system and calls not notifications and apps. Is there a way to make mute mute everything? I dont know why rooting would cause this but it muted everything beforehand.

I have the same problem, wish someone had an answer... What I do is hit my volume button down the hit the little settings icon on the volume sider that pops up and slide everything down... It is a pain and not a real solution, just a workaround in my opinion. Mute should mute everything. LOL.

Quick silence SMS/call notification...

Are there any apps/mods that allow you to silence/mute an incoming notification tone like on the iphone?
For example you are in a meeting and get a text which sets off your text tone instead of reaching into your pocket, removing phone, unlocking it, and stopping tone you just reach in and hit the power button or volume rocker and stop the tone.
Didn't realize how much I did this on my old phone until I couldn't do it on my N2!

If you turn your volume all the way down it goes into vibrate

An instant mute....like on the iphone...that doesnt affect volume settings

Why not just put on vibrate when in meeting?
It is in the toggles very easy to access
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda premium
Because I don't want to have to keep toggling my phone settings on and off all day long when all I have to do is just reach in my pocket for brief second and shut it off at that particular moment.

It takes more than a "brief second" to reach in your pocket, look for the toggle switch on the iPhone and move it... And even then, you may have not toggled the switch in the right direction, thus leaving the ringer on by accident. Trust me, I've done this with all the iPhones I've had. It doesn't matter if the back side has a bulge or is aluminum to help you orient your hand coordination. Your mind would be too focused on not getting unwanted attention while you silence your phone.
The trick for the Note II (at least for stock rom) is hold the power button two seconds, then hold the down volume rocker down until it vibrates, which only takes another second. And viola, it's on vibrate mode.
Im pretty sure if you hit the volume rocker while a call is incoming it will silence.
Correct me if im wrong

You're correct, but I think he wants to toggle it to go on vibrate so if the person happens to try calling a second time, it doesn't ring again.

Nexus 7... Noise when holding power button down...?

Hello, can someone confirm this...? Make sure volumes are all the way up, and simply hold down power button till you get the menu to pop... Do you receive the sound you get when you receive notifications? It's weird because I never ever noticed it before and I'm new to nexus... I just want to know if it's glitching or if it's supposed to do that.

The pop with your volume up, defending on your notification audio, may just be your Nexus 7 trying to play audio thats slightly frequencies than your speaker is intended to play. It also could be a few other things with the speakers (Volumes too loud with that notification, maybe?), it isn't just the power button and you shouldn't have to worry.
No... It's because I enabled the accessibility shortcut. Thanks anyway haha
