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.

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)
Gordon.
I have googled and searched the forum, but I don't seem to find a right answer for this. All I want to do is when I put my phone on silence mode. I will still receive vibrate notification for emails and texts.
I tried to download the tools from the market and played with the setting for hours. I still cannot get it to work.
Someone please help!
so you want it to make no sounds ?
you don't need any fancy tools>>
just settings > sound> general> silent mode
and settings > sound> general>vibration> only when not in silent mode
you can probably get most behaviors by messing with those 2 settings combined with phone ringtone and notification rintone you should be able to make it do whatever you want without any other software
if you just want to kill the phone ringer but leave notification vibrations
then vibration only in silent mode
turn off silent mode
and set the phone ringtone to silent
and turn down the volume all the way

Thanks but it is not working for me. I still can't get vibration for emails or texts... I don't think it's a hardware defect.. but it is not working for me....
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?
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

Does the hardware slider on the left side of the phone help?
The topmost position seems to be doing exactly that, except that alarms will also ring.
Do you want to even get rid of the alarms?
