Silent mode - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Tell me I'm not crazy. I understand modifying dnd to no exceptions creates total silence on the pixel. Is there any other way I figured audio on mute would put all things to silent. And then I could use dnd in alarms only mode. I've been using stock Android for so long and this seems ridiculous to have to change. Especially when my wife is coming from and iPhone 6s where she can just flip a switch. I shouldnt need an app for this

Ringer and Notification volume the same ?

I am not happy that both the ringtones + notifications are set to the same volume. I like my ringer low and notification sound loud.
Anyway to separate them ?

The only workaround is know now is choosing wisely your sounds or editing the tag if it is mp3.
My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.
I haven't found an official way to separate them. Google tied them together. I'very always used Setting Profiles to trigger profiles based on rules. I've just had to modify my rules and profiles with ICS now. You could use SP to create a rule to trigger a profile. Make 2 profiles. One profile would set the ringer volume to 100%. Another profile wshould set it to 50%. Make a rule to trigger when there is an incoming call and the action should be to set the ring loud profile. The other rule should be set to trigger on an incoming text message. Make the aftion to set the ring soft profile.
You will need to make some exceptions for situations like when you put your phone on vibrate or silent. I've just made my own silent and vibrate profiles and put my phone in silent or vibrate using my the profiles instead of I. The android sound menus or using the volume rocker. Then the 2 rules can be modify to trigger on incoming text or call but not when the vibrate or silent profiles are active.
I've also done a rule to trigger at night and set my ringer to silent. I set my incoming call rule to a higher priority so that it overrides the night profile and momentarily allows the phone to ring. I like for my phone to be quiet if it is charging at night (typically means I'm sleeping) but still ring in case of an emergency. It was much simpler with previous versions of android, but I've got the work around now. You can do this with other programs too like locale or tasked. I just prefer setting profiles personally after trying many.

[Q] Phone rings in silent mode

Hey Guys, i have a question, my nexus is ringing when i have it set to silent mode.
The ring is not the normal ringtone.. when the call is received, there is a short ringing sound, the LED flashes and then it goes silent. all texts/emails are silent in silent mode its just phone calls show that ring-ring then go silent.
I am stock/rooted. Im not really sure what is going on here..
Any ideas? i looked through all the setting on the phone and couldnt find anything related to this.
Thanks so much for any help
Are you using any profile switching applications or apps that change your sound levels? I used to get this on my Droid sometimes when using a profile switching app. The app would say I was silent, and my volume levels were down, but on an incoming sound from twitter would still make it through, like the app didn't respond fast enough.

Notifications while listening to music.

I've had a few android phones for work but finally bought an s3 as my personal phone getting rid of my iPhone 4. I love it except for when I'm listening to music I hate that it totally blocks out the song to play the notification, sometimes I don't even hear the notification just hear my phone vibrate but my music doesn't even stop it keeps playing but is silent. Is there any kind of work around this?

if you're on Jellybean use blocking mode and turn off notifications.
If you're on ICS, you can put the phone in silent mode but that turns off the ringer too.
Ahhh didn't think about using that for that. I don't mind getting the notification just don't want it to completely silent my music.

Elaborate on using blocking mode.... where do you enable/disable it?
settings/blocking mode
you can disable incoming calls
notifications
alarms
and the LED indicator. I have mine set to turn off led and notifications between 11 PM and 7 AM.

Is there any way to set Silent without enabling DND?

For whatever reason switching onto Silent also enables Do Not Disturb, which applies to both my phone and my smartwatch. This means either they both vibrate or neither vibrates which is obviously pointless. How can I set Silent on my phone without setting DND on my watch?
You can set ringtones to silent.

Question No end call sound when hanging up if ringtone is set to silent

I know this might be a dumb question, but I'm coming from a OnePlus 7 Pro and when I had the ring volume set to silent I would hear a sound at the end of the phone call when either party hung up. Ever since I have set my Pixel 6 Pro to silent though, there is never a sound when hanging up a phone call. Sometimes I can't tell if the other person hung up or just put me on hold. Is there any way to fix this with out turning the ring volume on? I can't really have my ring volume on at work, but would still like to know when I get hung up on.
Do you know if the same happens when you use Do Not Disturb as when you manually have the ring volume manually set to silent? (i.e. don't have the ring volume set to silent before testing Do Not Disturb)

Just tested this out, had do not disturb on and ring volume up and it made the same sound hanging up as when do not disturb is turned off

Awesome! Hopefully, Google doesn't "fix" that workaround.
Thanks man, I must have been a bit slow on the uptake last night and didn't even realize this was a work around until you just replied right now. Now I'll just leave on do no disturb at work and finally be able to hear when a phone call ends.

Sure thing. I thought maybe there was a slight disconnect in our communication, but I wasn't positive.
When Do not Disturb first came out I hated it, but they've improved it so much, within a major Android version or two, I never manually set the ring/notification tone to silence, although there may have been once in a while I set it to vibrate, but rarely.
My last phone between the Pixel 1 and this P6P, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+, they gimped DnD somewhat from stock Android for some dumb reason so that it wasn't quite as feature-full, but it still got the job done.
You can set exceptions for groups of people, particular people, particular apps, except media volume - very configurable although there's still always room for further improvement.
