Hey,
Over the past few weeks I've been having some issues with my alert slider. When I slide it, it keeps my phone on silent mode and switching it will not change its mode. Sometimes restarting my phone will allow it to be loud again but not all the time.
Now my up volume won't work to change the ring volume when the bar at the top of the phone shows I can slide it to the right but then right before your eyes it slides back down again.
I've tried it on YouTube and the volume works as it should up and down with no issues.
I've tried multiple phones wipes, cache clearances and different ROMs and the problem is still there.
Is the problem with the alert slider flex it's self?
Thanks.

After rooting my v.6.1 KF, manually updating to 6.2, and getting Gapps, Market, Go Launcher, WidgetLocker, etc., working my notification volume now goes to zero after setting it to > zero. Also, when choosing a notification sound, even with volume turned up, you get no notification sound. Other sound is fine (Pandora, for example).
Any thoughts? I have a 'mute' icon for volume in the upper right notification area (where WiFi is). Seems like this was not an issue last night and might have been mucked up by WidgetLocker. I'll be trying a workaround based on that theory later today but for now work calls :\
EDIT: Solved! See below.
There is an app called "Volume Control" that will let you set the various types of notifications individually. e.g. it separates notification from media from system. Very helpful.
Just had to deal with a similar problem.
As somebody else on this forum stated, the probable culprit is Widgetlocker.
I had it installed for a while, played with the settings and unintentionally changed the ringtone to mute (the right slider on the lockscreen). Had to re-install the app (had it uninstalled), changed the ringtone back to normal and voila - notification sounds are back.
Oh my God I can't believe that after all the relatively complex things I've done over the past two days that my answer to the one problem which kicked my butt hard enough to post about it was "you broke it yourself" lolol. The WidgetLocker volume slider was the problem. I had slid it to mute and never thought about it again. Everything's back to normal. Can't wait to get TWRP and CM7 running over the holidays!
Thanks for this! It made me look at the icon I thought meant "Mute" and really meant "Do Not Disturb". Turning that off brought the sound back. Thank God. Lol. I was also looking for complicated issues and blamed Amazon. Sorry!
Out of nowhere today, the clear notifications button disappeared when I hold my phone in portrait mode. If I rotate into landscape mode, it appears on the far right, but when I flip back, it's not there. I briefly got it to return by switching Lefty Mode on and off, but after I use it once, it disappears again. Any idea why this is happening or how I can fix it?
I'm using LiquidSmooth RC9.
Turns out I don't even have to use the button for it to disappear. If I just rotate my phone to landscape and then back to portrait, it's gone.
I don't have that issue. that being said its only present what I have notifications to clear, not permanent ones
I was able to post about this in the development thread. Turns out it's an issue with having AM/PM turned on for the clock. It pushes the notifications button off the screen sometimes.
hmm good to know, I don't have am/pm enabled, which is obviously the reason.
glad I got it sorted
Hey, so i just received the phone and when i use the alert slider the phone only goes in to silent mode. Doesn't matter if i pull the slider up or down always silent, and when i have the slider in the middle or in the bottom option. And when I press a little bit in the top left corner the phone shows the silent toast and vibrates. Seems like a HW fault, but not really sure , any ideas?
Bump
You have me a bit confused. Is the phone silent in all slider positions?
I assume you have gone into the "Alert Slider" settings and configured it?
When you went through the initial on-screen setup process after turning the phone on the first time, did you select to restore from previous device? Or did you set it up as a new device?
In another thread others were reporting similar issues with their slider not working as it should and others even reporting that the do not disturb mode would turn itself on after allowing the phone to restore from previous device. Doing a factory reset and then selecting "setup as new device" seemingly fixed the problem for those other people. I'd suggest giving that a shot.
Yes the phone is in silent in all the slider positions.
And nope i haven't touched any settings, i reseted the phone too and the problem is still remaining .
I set it up as a new device, I read about a "similar" problem, so i reseted the phone to be sure.
As i wrote, i think it is a HW fault, because slightest amount of pressure on the top left side of the phone "activates" the slider so the text/icon "silent" pops up.
Hi. Same issue here. I performed hard reset, set up the phone as new device and the issue keeps appearing. Even the update to 3.2.1 did not help.
Yea, I think it is a HW fault
Hello people
I am facing the following issues in my phone which is running OxygenOS 3.2.1.
1. Push notifications not coming until the phone is unlocked again
2. Alert slider causing the phone to go completely silent.
To add to the misery I was using my wifi on 2.4 GHz band but when I tried to connect to 5GHz band it does not connect and the error shows wifi connection failure. All my other devices are connected successfully to this band even my 4 year old Nexus 4 but Oneplus 3 does not seem to connect for a single time
This is really becoming disappointed for me bow after push notification and alert slider issues.
The range of 2.4 GHz wifi is not even half of what my Nexus 4 used give me.
I am using ASUR WRT 68u router.
These are very basic features of a cellphone which are required on the very first moment.
I am Totally frustrated with this device as I can't use it for my daily life!!! I don't know if people in this forum are not having any such issues with their devices.
1. push notification can be blocked when the screen is locked (to avoid that other people can see SMS for example). In the "When device is locked" option, "show all notification content" should be selected if you want notification. Also the alert slider should be on the 3rd position, the position closed to the volume up button. If you want to use the middle slider position, you need to select some apps as priority apps for notification.
2. hmmm I think it's the purpose of the alert slider... especialy in the 1st position, the further to the volume up button.
It's strange you seems to misunderstand it as when you put in silent mode, it say "silent" on the screen. I put my phone in english to be sure, maybe the translation in your language is not accurate.
Anyway the slider mode can be customized in the alert slider options.
For wifi, it seems ok for me but I can't test 5GHz at the moment.
1. Not sure if I see this behaviour but if I do isn't botherimg me.
2. I know put slider to silent and it silences the phone, this is probably my favourite feature of the phone. Completely silence the phone without even taking it out of my pocket genius.
3. Sent on my 5ghz WiFi connection.

I think you misunderstood me. Here are your replies:
1. The push notification issue is a doze mode bug since the notifications do appear and the sound plays ok until the device enters into doze mode after which there is no notification and no connectivity maintained which causes the notifications to stop, once the phone is unlocked the notifications start to appear
2. Well I know the purpose of alert slider and I am talking about when the slider is is normal position i.e. downwards, sometimes the notification sounds disappear and there is complete silence, the slider has to be cycled again by moving upward then downward to fix the issue.
for the slider, wipe your phone completely, reset it in other words.
If your slider bug still there, contact oneplus customer service to replace your phone.
and your first problem seems to be related to the second one as it enter the silent mode on it's own.

I have completely wiped off the phone and installed 3.2.1 from the signed flashable zip... the wifi issue is still there
I will check and update about the first two issues if they're solved... I have contacted customer support but they have not provided a satisfactory response yet.
When I upgraded to 3.2.1, I had the same issues as stated above AS WELL AS an issue with VoLTE that forced me to disable LTE in order to have a decent phone call. I reverted back 3.1.2 until OnePlus gets these issues ironed out. Overall, 3.1.2 has been much better for me.
I have installed freedomOS from xda and stock ROM again.. wifi issue is resolved but push notification and alert slider issues still persist in freedomOS as well as stock ROM.. I don't have VoLTE feature here so can't test
About the random silence, did you restore apps and settings from old phonethat had automatic disturb profiles? If so, reset and do not restore...
I'm not experiencing any of these issues, only issue is the random turn off
Every few hours, my phone goes into a mode where the volume buttons control the media slider instead of the ringtone slider, even if no media app is running (in fact, even if I close all open apps). Only rebooting restores the volume buttons to their usual function, controlling the ringtone slider.
I wouldn't care about this oddity. But it always happens at the same time as the serious sound-feedback lag problem that's documented here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-7/help/sound-feedback-lag-replacement-note-7-t3467475
It seems likely then that whatever is causing the slider oddity is also causing the lag problem. Can anyone suggest how to figure out what app or service is making the phone think there's some media in use?
Again, this mode persists even with all apps closed. And it starts up at seemingly random times, anywhere from 1 to 30 hours after the last reboot, which makes it very hard to pin down a cause.
