I've been using tasker since 3.1.3 to customize the alert slider to my needs. I set up the following modes and actions:
- all: all notifications with sound + vibration
- priority: all notifications silent + vibration
- none: airplane mode (with xposed and airplane mode helper)
This worked perfectly with all versions including 3.2.1, on 3.2.2 it stopped working.
I'm not sure if it's an OS problem or a tasker problem, but something with the interrupt modes seems to be wrong.
I've set up a simple action in tasker to flash the active interrupt mode.
On 3.2.1 the modes are all - priority - none, just as they should be.
On 3.2.2 tasker shows the interrupt modes all - priority - priority, which ,eans that there is noi difference between the middle and the upper setting of the slider.
I already posted this on the oneplus homepage, but got almost no feedback. Am I the only one with this issue?
I am also having issues with tasker and alert slider after upgrade to 3.2.2 Before it worked like a charm (all, vibrate, none) but on 3.2.2 the vibrate only kicks in occsionaly, because tasker reads the middle position on the slider as "all" most of the times.

Hi,
So I've had the phone for a couple days now, and I love it. But today I received the nougat update and I have one little (major) issue:
When in any of the none-silent notification modes, it's set to ringer only. I used to have it on vibrate only, mostly in priority mode with vibrate, so it wouldn't ring. How do I get this back? Putting the volume all the way down doesn't change it to vibrate anymore, and nor does tapping on the actual bell icon.
Thanks
I have the same problem. After update I accidentally turned volume up and now I can't turn it back to vibrate. My level of sound stops at 14% and I can't make it vibrate-only. Any ideas?

Put the alert slider to the top position

This doesn't solve the issue. You still can't have the phone vibrate to only priority notifications.
With the slider on the top position (with vibration enabled in the settings) the phone will vibrate for every notification. And if you want to switch to a "drop dead" mode with no notifications at all you would always need to go in the settings to change the vibration option of the silent profile.
Major step back by oneplus.
I want that exact same thing too. So:
Silent - silence all except alarm (with option to vibrate)
Do not disturb - all the current options + option to vibrate for the ones enabled and no sound
Ring - standard mode. Sound for all + option to vibrate.
It's strange that they've missed such a common feature.
The functionality is moved to slider now. Turn the slider all the way up to silent mode and press the grear icon to select the vibration option.
Easy. Love it much more now.

Such a glaring omission by OnePlus.
I have solved the problem by installing Ringer Modes. This app allows you to put a tile in your quick settings that will change ring modes, including Vibrate mode!

That's not an omission. That's how it's meant to be in Nougat update. Now people will actually use the Alert Slider more often.
Personally, I love this implementation much more than before.

This seems to be terrible functionality to me. With my old Nexus phone all I needed to do was 1) Hold the Volume Down button and it would go into vibrate only mode. All it took was one button click. Now you are saying I need to: 1) Move the Alert Slider 2) Click the gear 3) Enable vibration 4) Exit out of settings page to continue what I was doing.
Four steps whereas before it only took one. That is a enormous step back in functionality in my mind.

You only have to do it once, brother Once the slider is set to vibrate on silent mode, you only have to touch the slider. It's quicker than 'holding' the volume button.
Cheers.

Actually, you're right. I just tried that and it works. Now that I think about it I'm not sure why I originally assumed I'd need to select vibrate every single time.
Not bad at all just a little different than I'm used to.
I don't understand the functionality, can you explain again?
When i have vibration enabled in silent mode, how do i quickly enable and disable vibration? (before all I had to do was move the slider)
I think LOS roms still have the feature that you need
My biggest problem with the OnePlus 3 is that they made the alert slider the only way to control Do Not Disturb modes. No automation.
So I have setup Tasker to do the automation, changing the modes throughout the day/night and it works great. However, there are occasionally situations where I want to put my phone in silent mode (a meeting for example), but I know that Tasker is scheduled to turn off silent mode half way through the meeting.
So if Tasker could somehow detect what position the alert slider is in, I could easily make it so that Tasker won't change DND modes if the slider is in certain positions.
Is there any way to accomplish this?

Unfortunately that requires Xposed and I'm running Nougat.

It is a guide to changing notifications mode according to slider position.
You can probably use the same variables for your own profiles.
Has anyone noticed that Whatsapp seems to override the "Do Not Disturb" aka DND settings?
I keep getting popups even though I have "Alarms only" DND activated. I do not get sounds but only the popup which activates the screen and lights up the room.
I also noticed that if I set settings-->notifications-->whatsapp notification to Level -1 (as in no notifications) I still get popups, usually the second msg from the same person activates the popup and screen lights up.
I also tested my wife's phone Mi5 with RR nougat as well and same occurs with her phone so it is not a phone thingy but rather a broken DND by android/LOS or RR bug.
Could someone test this with their phone and with another rom perhaps?
Steps to reproduce:
1. Set phone to DND (alarms only) and check that Whatsapp does not override dnd settings (settings-->notifications-->whatsapp)
2. Turn screen off and use another phone to send whatsapp messages (from 1 to several).
3. Check if you get popup messages from whatsapp.

Am I the only one using DND and whatsapp here?
Hello. I had this issue as well, perhaps it is indeed a problem with DND and heads up notifications, as I was surprised when I activated DND and still got WhatsApp notifications.
You can always disable notifications per app, but that's not a proper solution. On the other hand there is an option in Settings->Sound->Do not disturb, which allows you to customize certain aspects like what should it block. That was the solution for me, there is an option to block all visual disturbances with screen on or off, however this may be an option not available in the stock ROM (I'm using Dirty Unicorns, curious name, awesome ROM). Still look for the option in your settings :victory:

Cheers mate for the reply.
Unfortunately I have that setting already enabled, so all visual disturbances should be blocked when screen is off. But if that setting works for you in DU, then perhaps my Z2 RR has a bug and as well Mi5's RR.
I bet this is not a ROM issue but rather WA or Android issue cos the same thing happens with RR, AEX and iirc AICP.
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.
hey gang,
I just got a Pixel 2XL and for Gmail and WhatsApp even though I've got vibration off in the system settings as well as in the app, the damn thing still vibrates when a notification comes in.
This happens on both mine and my brothers 2XL, are we missing a trick?
I've tried to reset app settings but issue persists.

android 10 - build QQ1A.191205.008 - fresh install
Thanks!
Also happening here... I have spent many hours but haven't found a solution
So the way I found around this is to turn off vibration under Accessibility > Vibration and haptic strength.
Not ideal but it works and the phone will still vibrate if a call comes in.

Did you try switching off the vibration from WhatsApp settings -> Notifications -> Vibrate?
Oops, I see that you have already tried that. Never mind!

Hey guys, finally I've come to a solution after hours of searching and experimenting.
For your information I'm using a Pixel 2 XL running stock Android 10 December build (latest).
I narrowed down the problem by making notification tests with apps other than WhatsApp, like Telegram and Messages (from Google).
The problem:
When setting WhatsApp's notification preference to "Silent" (in Android's App info) - having WhatsApp own settings to no vibration neither sound - the very next message received will turn "Silent" option back to "Alerting". This will make phone vibrate (if phone on vibration mode), regardless of your preference of no vibration.
Note that this problem occurs only when phone is on vibration mode.
It happens with WhatsApp and Telegram but doesn't with Messages, making it clear that it's a bug of the app and not of Android itself.
The solution:
1) Adjust WhatsApp's own settings as your wish (if your reading this probably you don't want group message vibration neither sound).
2) Open Android's App Info and tap Notifications
3) Select group or message notifications
4) KEEP IT ALERTING
5) Choose Advanced
6) Tap Sound, then My Sounds
7) Choose None
8) Save
That's it.
It seems to me that faulty apps like WhatsApp and Telegram are currently not able to set None value to the notification sound. And, since Android turns sound to vibration when on vibrate mode, those apps will vibrate regardless of user setting.
The procedure described above will ultimately set None sound directly to Android system, shortcutting the apps poor programming.
Thanks for reading this and please give feedback whether it helped you.
