Hi all. I sent my handset away to HTC for a repair (mic didn't work). I think they updated the software/firmware on it because I can no longer set my handset to silent without turning on the Do Not Disturb mode. Before I could lower the volume to silent and turn off vibrate and it was great. I don't like do not disturb because it puts a stop to notifications and calls. Is there a way to mute everything and have no vibrate but still get all calls and all notifications? Also I can no longer copy custom notification tones into the system folder. It's now read only >.< Any way around this without rooting my phone? Thanks in advance for any and all help
Nvm I think I got the hang of it lol

When you enable vibrating mode the phone ringing feature shifts to silent. So thats why it goes to lowest level. You will notice if you will turn it back from vibrating mode it will takes it place back. And by the way it is not a hermes question. You can go to general discussion section of this forum to discuss such type of questions
Alright cool thanks..... and it was viagra!
When you switch to vibrate mode you will not hear any sounds or rings from your phone. But when you receive a phone call on vibrate mode you'll be able to change the in phone volume during the conversion when the sounds and the rings remaine in vibrate mode.
Sounds good thanks!!!!
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)

I meant when it's in vibrate mode. My Gmail will vibrate even if I tell it not to in the settings. In fact, every notification vibrates when on vibrate mode. This was not the case with my galaxy s2. I hear this is a jb thing.

Seriously not trying to be a **** here.. but.. "Vibrate mode" .... umm... its supposed to vibrate when android gets a notification UNLESS the vibrate flag is not assigned to the notification via the app.. (usually an option per app)
Now you are saying, in vibrate mode, it still vibrates even though you have the vibrate option turned off in the Gmail app?

Dude, all I am saying is that before on the galaxy s2 only apps that were told to vibrate would vibrate EVER. Didn't matter if it was silent, vibrate or sound mode. This has changed in the new version of Android and it is plain annoying to me since I told the app not to vibrate so I would like for it to not vibrate. The apps that I told to vibrate I would like to vibrate-- nothing else.

Thats what i was saying in my second part of the post, if you have the Gmail settings open, and under "notifications" you UNCHECK "vibrate" it is still vibrating? Cause it shouldn't. That setting is global for all sound modes.

Yea I unchecked it. It happened on my stock ROM as well as Wicked and DeathStalker. This is the bit of research I did a while ago. I'll have to hunt through that thread to see if it was fixed somewhere.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785800
The only reason I care about this is because I only care about texts or phone calls at work. Emails and FB or whatever are irrelevant to me and thus I don't want to vibrate on my desk or pocket...Just a personal choice, I guess.

yeah i understand exactly where you are coming from. I have a question, when you adjust the volume using the volume rocker buttons, does your notification volume change too?
---------- Post added at 02:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 AM ----------
I just odin'd back to stock wiped my data and can confirm that there is NO vibration when receiving any notification that has the "vibrate" option unchecked.. Don't know what your issue is. Gotta be a conflicting app. Do you use light flow at all?

Interesting. I had stock and I was sure Gmail was still vibrating when vibration was turned off. Were you in vibration or silent mode? I do not use lightflow, though I was thinking of getting it since this phone seems to have RGB LEDs.

I'm not sure what to tell you guys. I flashed stock and tested this and it does not vibrate.. so it's gotta be your ROM or something you guys added or changed.

im on the build number JDQ39.M919UVUAMDL...its the stock that came with the phone. only thing i changed is rooted..but i still cant seem to figure out how to turn vibrate off for notifications in gmail. i already unchecked the vibrate option.
I can back this clame up since I was on 100% stock and it did the same thing.

OK, if the watch doesn't make a beep, what's up with the mute/unmute option from the pull down?
That's my WTF moment with the 360.
Also, why it's the vibration so light? I missed so many notifications.
It mutes the vibration and stops cards from showing up.
Mute just means you won't get notifications from your phone. Yeah I was confused at first too.

yes and no. you can still connect to your phone (i.e. google now still works). you just will not receive any notifications.
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.
