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

Under settings / sound / volumes. I have "use ringer volume for notifications" un-checked, but whenever I make a change to either one, they both change. It's really annoying as I don't want to be woken up at night just because someone texted or emailed me. Any help is greatly appreciated. Just to add... I can move the sliders independently, but as soon as I tap "done" and use the volume button to change volumes or go back into settings the ringer and notification sliders are matched up again. I'm on stock ,s-off, unlocked.
Why don't you just use the 'do not disturb' switch or set the profile to 'silent'?

because I still need the phone to ring during the night. Also during the day I keep the ringer volume at full, but having notifications at full vol gets annoying pretty quick. I just want to know if HTC has tied them together even tho that particular box is uncheked.
No, it works ok here.

I don't know why it doesn't seperate the two, it works fine on my phone, but the Do not disturb isn't such a bad idea.
If you need it to ring during the night(For whatever reason, emergency?) why not add the numbers allowed to call you during the DnD period to the exception list, that way it'll ring through even if you have DnD on?
Ok so, under the original lollipop silence settings, when you pressed a volume key it brought up the volume bar, with the options underneath to choose "None, Priority, All" for sounds. So I could just tap the volume key, tap priority, and go to sleep knowing there would be no sounds apart from my alarm. I could also do this at work, because it was quick and silent. It also had the advantage that when I changed it back to "All", my volume would revert back to my old setting. All easy and good.
Now though... theres two choices.
1. Tap the volume all the way down, to vibrate. The phone vibrates loudly (even if I have all vibrations turned off). Then I press it again to go to silent. Then I have to do the same in reverse (including another vibration) to get it back up to my old volume. Dumb.
2. I found out you can tap the bell icon in the volume bar to cycle between states. This at least keeps the volume on my normal setting. But it still vibrates when i cycle through it.
SO... Is there no way to go from normal to silent without the damn thing vibrating loudly? I never use vibrate, so I'd want to just deactivate this option entirely. I used to be able to do this.
I have tried play store apps which say they do this... but when I set them to the "silent" option (not their vibrate option) and ring my phone, it vibrates! Even though I have phone call vibrate set to off.
This is such a stupid change. I know people disliked the priority options (I thought they were an improvement myself), but this new system just seems so much worse than anything I've used in the last 5 years of android ownership.

If you have an unlocked bootloader you can flash a costom kernel and turn the entire vibration off.

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.

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.
