Been using this very nice phone for a couple of weeks now and loving it. Got checkrom v4 on it and it is running nice, with one issue.
I use silent mode when I am at work, so as not to annoy my office mates, with it coming on automatically using tasker. When I leave it is turned off, and audible selections is activated in the settings even though it was of before entering silent mode. Does this happen normally our have I stuffed something up in tasker? If it happens normally is there a way of preventing this?

I don't use tasker but not sure about that but when I put the phone on silent the touch tones remain silent.
You may also want to go into settings / sounds and lower the system volume which also lowers that. I find that the stock touch volume is too high.

Hmm maybe I phrased it wrong. I have the audible selections unchecked before I put silent mode on, then silent mode comes on, and they stay unchecked, but when silent mode turns off they become checked again. Its not a big deal to uncheck it but it just annoys me (yea I know first world problem!)
Might see if I can turn down the stock volume to minimal for this and see if it makes a difference, probably the simple solution to the issue (can live without touchtones on the dial pad).
Does anyone else have their phone vibrating as the music plays with the volume all the way up on Poweramp Pro?...I have searched as much as I can and I am now turning to you guys to see if there is something I am missing in the settings...It seems like it will drain the battery to have the vibrator going to the beat of the music the whole time it's playing...With two presses of volume down it stops...Only when the volume is all the way up does it do this...Is there a setting on the phone or in the app that I can turn this off?...
Yes go into settings sound and turn auto haptic feedback off

I see now...Thanks...It's the auto haptic on/off that fixes this...I didn't know that it would allow you you check and uncheck apps so I have unchecked it now...I'm coming from an EvO 3D so this is my first taste of ICS...I am amazed at the amount of settings ICS has...
Yeah ics is super Dev. Friendly

Hi,
just got an SIII yesterday and I have to admit, that device is really great. Now I have few questions according the silent / vibrate mode of the SIII. I installed CyanogenMod yesterday, but I don't think that would make any difference. If I turn the phone into the silent or vibrate mode and then get called, it is silent (that's how it should be, right?). But then, if I start an app, for example DoodleJump, I hear the ingame sound. Shouldn't the silent mode prevent the phone from making ANY noise at least? I mean if I flipped the silent switch on my iPhone then it was silent, no matter which app. Is there any way to do the same with the SIII? Making it silent globally and not just put the volume bar lovv in any app.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

This not just about Sgs3. This is about all of the android phones. Silence ringing and silence multimedia sound are have different toggles. Maybe i dont wanna ring my phone but i would like hear my gaming or video or mp3 sound?
Iphone (ios) is basic and minimalistic phone (os). But Android is a bit more complex and better for hi-end users. Limitless preferences. As what we want..
Thats the reason we all in love with that little green bot

Ps: you can find thousands of widget apps (like "beatiful widgets") for your issue. Build up your widget, add to home screen, just touch screen and all of your phone is slient.

Ok, found that option to show me more sliders than only the one for the ringtone. Thank you for that small hint, the option to change the volume separately seems to be a good idea indeed.

I just got my One yesterday and so far ive only had one problem. When I put it on silent or vibrate mode, Notification sounds still play for sms etc. is this a bug or just how the phone works? coming from a galaxy nexus where silent mode would stop all sound.

Mine mutes sound in vibrate. I haven't used silent.
Go into the messaging app press menu and choose settings. There you will find the options for notifications

i have the same problem n this is the second htc one im using n still getting this problem..when i put the phone on silent it will ring out laud when i put it on vibrate it will still ring out laud wtf is going on ??? anybody knows
Why should someone need to modify the SMS app settings? If you put the overall phone on vibrate, that should be the prevailing condition. Mine not only plays notification sounds when on vibrate-only, it also rings...LOUDLY.
I'm having this issue as well! Every time I change the profile, I have to manually set the sound options. When I switch profiles, the settings never save. Does this defeat the purpose of profiles?! Why is this even an issue?! Anyone find a solution yet?
Turn off "Pocket mode"
Nope, still resets all profiles.
The only thing I can think of is maybe the contacts that are calling you are set up as "VIP"?
I saw another thread that said those contacts will always make the phone ring regardless of sound settings..
It's not just the calls. When I go to sounds, I select normal and put all the volumes to max. I go to vibrate and set all of the volumes to mute. When I switch back to normal, the notifications and alarms are mute and the calls are max. Nothing ever saves. I just want normal mode to have all volumes max and vibrate to mute everything. I'm completely new to Android, but there's got to be a simple way to do this.
So you're saying that after you select the "sound profile", you also manually make changes to the individual settings after that?
Because my impression of the profiles is that they are pre-set profiles.. and once you change a setting manually it is not going to "save" that change. The sound profiles are just that: pre-set profiles that you cannot save changes to.
I could be wrong though.
That could be a possibility. I find it a bit peculiar that they give you the options to change settings, but doesn't let you save them. I'm hoping that isn't the case, but if it is is there a way to create your own custom profiles? And would there be a way to switch to those profiles using the quick settings coming out with 4.2.2?
Honestly I haven't been interested in the profile feature. I pretty much keep my phone on one setup which is 80% volume for ringtone/notifications and 60% for media all day I don't need to constantly change profiles. If I need minor adjustments during the day I make them on the spot. So I'd have to look into it

Thanks for the help. I just find it hard to believe there's no way to set your own preferences. I even downloaded a 3rd party app that supposedly allowed you to create your own profiles. I set the Vibrate profile to silence on everything, to test it I text myself and bam the phone makes noise. Awesome. I just don't understand how this can be, it's starting to get a bit frustrating.
So let me ask a couple of questions so that I can target the right solution for you -
1. Are you just looking for something that will 'silence' your phone during certain times of the day/night? Or do you need something more complicated than that?
2. Do you need the sound profile to also have the option to be activated based on location? or just time
thanks
I'm not looking for anything location or time specific. I just want to have the option to switch off all sounds and have vibrate only whenever I need it. And the option to swap back to normal, of which I would like to have everything on full volume. For example, on the iPhone there was an external switch that shut all noises down and switched the phone over to vibrate or silent depending on the users settings. There is no external switch on the HTC One, so I'm trying to find a quick way to do that internally. I thought that was the purpose of the profiles, but I guess I'm mistaken. There must be a way to do this.

Yes, that's how the profiles (should) work.
When you want to switch to silent/vibrate, just select one of those. But don't manually adjust anything after that. Only switch the profile.
But honestly, it just sounds like you need to hold "down" volume until it hits vibrate, or silent.. and then hit "up" volume when you want sound back. Don't understand what it is you're trying to do, sounds like you're over-complicating this IMO. Because you're not asking for anything special.

From the HTC One user guide
Changing ringtone settings
Switching between silent, vibrate, and normal modes
Do one of the following:
- To change from silent to normal mode, press the VOLUME UP button.
- To change from vibrate to normal mode, press the VOLUME UP button twice.
- Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap > Sound > Sound profile.
Lowering the ring volume automatically
HTC One has a quiet ring feature that automatically lowers the ring volume when you
move it.
1. Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap .
2. Tap Sound.
3. Select the Quiet ring on pickup option.
Making HTC One ring louder in your pocket or bag
To help avoid missing incoming calls when HTC One is in your pocket or bag, the
pocket mode feature gradually increases the ring volume and vibrates when you
receive a call.
1. Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap .
2. Tap Sound.
3. Select the Pocket mode option.
Right, that's what I thought. That this should be extremely easy. However, it is not. One way to do it is to hold the volume rocker in either direction and it changes the profile. BUT, when I switch it to vibrate, the notifications and alarms still make sound. Only the ringtone is silenced. That is not what I want. I want ALL sounds to be silenced, which is what I thought the settings would be for. When I change them it works, everything is silenced. But once I switch back to normal, Vibrate goes back to being ringtone-silent, notifcations & alarms - max volume. I hope my situation makes a bit more sense now. I would consider myself pretty tech savvy, so trust me when I say this is extremely frustrating. Thanks for your help so far though!

I just looked at it again and the "default" volumes for normal mode seem to be max volume and mute notifications and alarms. Why on earth would that be the default. Why would I want my alarms to be silent when its in normal mode. lol So I change notifications and alarm to max volume, switch the profile to vibrate and then back to normal. The volumes are then set back to max volume ringtone and mute notifications / alarm. WHYYYYY..
That's why when I want the phone on vibrate or silent, I just hold volume down. Then nothing makes sound. Not the notifications, ringtones, nothing. Using the profiles sounds like a hassle to me.
When I switch it to vibrate like that, the notifications, alarms and media are all still at max volume.
How to completely disable sound output of cell phone with press of a button, and re enable it just as easily when needed?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
You can either use the sound toggle or you can press volume down.
There is no hardware button in SGS3 like in iphone

you have a widget "turn off all sounds." that should help.
Unfortunately the samsung widget isn't an option. And turning down just volume of sounds the "normal" way doesn't cut it: some apps (system apps i think) can override sound settings and play at any most unfomfortable times.

As I answered you in your identical other thread try Tasker sound options.
Could you be more specific and let us know what apps?
just as an example that might be not useful at all for you but might guide you in the correct direction: I use tasker to switch my phone & tablet during work in vibration mode and no app is able to break it, even system apps like the dialer or battery low signal sounds.

I believe the apps that can brake the silence are for example the caller app and other little sounds that are automated when doing some things in rom, for example the sound when focusing camera i believe or maybe the screenshot sound. I know these can be disabled manually, and i have, but i never want to incur into unpleasant surprises, and that widget does all i need. Furthermore i did try your tasker solution yesterda applying ALL sound settings allowed within the tasker settings i could, but none of them did what i wanted. The samsung system widget "turn off all sounds" completely disables sound output and when trying to press volume buttons the volume isn't allowed to shift. this is important because even if i applied a simple way to shut off all sounds (for example most mute apps on play store or tasker actions on sound) some apps can still modify sound themselves....and this does lead to - unpleasant surprises!
This is what samsung's widget avoids perfectly, this is what i'm looking for.
Hope to have straightened things up in this thread, even though i doubt anyone has the answer i'm looking for.

thanks, much clearer now to understand. somehow I fear that there are not a lot of options to achieve this though.
I just tried on my phone the screenshot function though, in vibrate more there is no sound to hear, also camera shutter sounds is off. maybe it is related more to the rom itself?
I dunno....there are other sounds i can't really remember, but what im interested is still a complete all sound output disable solution (not individual-problem one). Anyways thank you for your help
