I decided to set my alarm and quickly noticed that it is bad to do it at night. The sound still plays from changing "alarm volume" even if on silent mode. What gives?

Does anyone else have this problem?
I have an unlocked GS2, running XWKE7, it was supplied like this.
The problem I have is that it often goes into silent mode when left unattended! Not only is it silent but the vibration is switched off, something that I can't it to do myself! If I lower the volume manually, it gets quieter and then goes to Silent but it still vibrates. The auto switching problem makes the ringer Silent with the Vibrate switched OFF.
I had thought it might be happening due to being in my pocket but yesterday, I kept it out of my pocket all day and it did it whilst left on my desk.
I'm currently also using Launcher Pro but it was doing this before I installed LP.
I have a very simple profile set up to put my phone in silent mode during certain days and times. The profile is being executed as expected. I can go into Sound menu on the phone and see that the phone was put into silent mode. However, the silent and vibrate icons are not displayed in the notification bar. Even more troublesome, is that the phone wont actually vibrate when I get a call or notification. If I manually deselect and select silent, I will see both icons and the phone functions as expected. Is there perhaps some bug in Tasker that is not handling this correctly?
My phone is the Samsung Galaxy S2, rooted running Unnamed rom.
BUMP....sorry to bump this but was wondering if anyone has experienced this issue?
More information: I downloaded Sound Manager which is an app that shows the status of the various volume & vibrate settings. After Tasker has executed the profile to put my phone into silent mode, I used Sound Manager to doublecheck my vibrate status, and both calls and notifications are set to not vibrate at all even though in my phone settings I have vibrate on silent. When I change the call and notification vibrate settings in Sound Manager to vibrate on silent as well, I see the appropriate icons . This tells me that Tasker is doing something wrong when setting my phone to silent.
Any ideas?
I am having a similar problem
I set the "silent mode" to "vibrate" (in tasker) but I get an icon of silent instead of vibrate.
Same problem here, tasker puts phone in silent mode bud doesn't enable vibration (manually setting silent mode in statussbar works fine) looks like tasker bug to me.
Galaxy s2
Rom: KI4 rooted
EDIT:
HA! Found it! Silent Mode in tasker doesn't have 2 modes (ON and OFF). Instead it has 3 (on, VIBRATE, off). Set it to VIBRATE and you ar back in bussiness
Checked it - works. If others confirm we can mark this one solved
I have a very similar issue. I have a profile that is triggered when I am near two cell towers at my work. The actions put the Phone Ringer to volume 0 and enable vibrate, and I see the vibrate icon in the notification tray, but I've tested calling myself from my office phone, and the phone still rings at normal volume.
I'm using an LG G3, rooted and running stock ROM, Android 5.
similar issue for meI have a profile that activates when my phone sees the wifi at work will set the phone to silent mode (3 – vibrate). It works fine when I first get in as it will vibrate, but then after some unknown amount of time it will set the ringer back to wherever it was (like it exits the profile) but the profile is still active in tasker. If I manually reexecute the profile it will stay in vibrate the rest of the day. Ideas?
Tasker full silent profile works great. No idea about free alternatives.

Anybody else finding it's impossible to completely mute the volumes for "Music, video, games & other media" and "Alarms"?
Settings / Sounds / on any sound profile (Normal, Vibrate, Silent):
1) choose Volumes
2) observe or set "Ringtones & notifications" to completely silent
3) set "Music, video, games & other media" and/or "Alarms" to completely silent (also observe that as low as you set it, "Alarms" plays music) and press the OK button
4) return Volumes
5) observe now "Music, video, games & other media" is set kinda low but not completely off; observe that "Alarms" is a little bit higher in volume than that.
6) play a form of media or game or let an alarm go off and yes they are still audible
Is this a feature, a bug or a case of user education?
They are never completely silent unless you switch to vibrate or silent mode.
Alarms have a setting to sound even if volume is silent

I'm not sure I follow.
Settings / Sounds / Sound Profile = Silent.
Launch Cut the Rope
Theme music begins.
Settings / Sounds / Sound Profile = Vibrate.
Launch Cut the Rope

Settings / Sounds / Sound Profile = Silent.
Volume / Music, video, games & other media = as low as possible
Launch Cut the Rope
Theme music begins albeit at a very very very very low volume.
Go back to Volume / Music, video, games & other media and the volume is never at the no-sound mark

I see what you are saying and I think that is a problem of design.
Typically, when you set the phone to vibrate or silent no notification sounds like texts or phone call ringers occur but there are apps that override that such as maps, music, and alarms, etc..
Notifications and ringer are governed by the ringer and notifications volume and controlled by vibrate or silent mode also. Music and some other apps are based on media volume which is not controlled by vibrate and silent.
Not sure of a way around that
If you got to your list of alarms, there is a settings menu and at the top it has play alarm when in silent mode that you toggle on or off. That may help part of your issue.

In some of the ICS Roms I've encountered, I cannot chose an alarm ringtone. I get a crash and a reboot. Any suggestions? I just flashed this rom:

Sounds like the Tasker Fullsilentmode profile will do what I need. Will post an update when I get a chance to check it out.

And yes, the Tasker profile does a complete silence.
I have a problem in the form of the ringtone volume, namely setting my own sound mp3 (music)
The phone sees the sound settings as a ringtone, but does not really respond to its volume in the ringing mode, only in the notification mode. In so describing, it simply does not work to adjust the ringer volume on its own on a custom setting.
Maybe someone had such a problem
P.S All phone system resets system settings checked
Same problem here, with default ones there's no issue.
I just upgraded from an S10 Plus. I have my audio settings set exactly the same. When using Google Maps to navigate I have it set to alert only. On the S10 while driving the music would drop in volume, I would get the alert tone and she would say "speed trap ahead" along with the pop-up on the screen asking if the speed trap is still there. On the S23 I only get the pop-up on the screen, no audio notification and the music volume stays constant. Is this a known bug? I would also get notification tones for messages as well, nothing on the S23. If I set it to be completely un-muted the turn by turn directions come through as expected but I have not yet driven through an area where an alert notification would come through while un-muted.
That sounds like a bug because I have a macro set to run everytime I connect to my car to turn down notification volume to 0 so it doesn't mute audio for notifications but calls still ring for me just fine.
