Lockscreen causes phone to go from vibrate to silent - HTC Droid DNA

Not sure what's causing this one -- any help appreciated. When my DNA's lockscreen kicks in and my phone's in vibrate mode, it switches to silent. End result -- I miss calls. Nothing fancy or different about this DNA. I'm running it completely stock, never been rooted, never been unlocked. I did, however, encrypt storage. I tried using Ring Guard to stop the change, but it had no effect.

Turns out, if the interval between screen off and lockscreen engage is "immediate," then the phone gots to silent mode. I changed the time interval to 3 minutes, and it seems to be working as intended -- locks requiring a PIN, but stays in vibrate mode. Interesting.

[Q] Silent Mode unintentional

Running CommROM 2.0 with ComaVolt kernel. I don't know if I noticed this problem on Superclean, but lately my phone is going into silent mode when asleep. Everytime it seems that my screen shuts down, on restart I see the vibrate icon in the status bar, and the sound is off, without my having done anything. This is a problem. It has persisted despite multiple reflashes. I have not seen this described elsewhere. Any suggestions?

[Q] Speakerphone Screen Timeout

Does anyone know if there is a way to have the screen dim, instead of timeout when on speakerphone? I've looked all over and can't find anything. This is a feature that seemed to be in place on my Incredible, but not so on the Rezound. I use my speakerphone a lot and it's very annoying. I know I can set the screen to not timeout, etc. but then the screen being on drains the battery.
I am currently rooted and running Clean ROM 4.2, but this condition existed on the stock Rezound as well.
I tried Call Light App, but it is buggy.
Thanks in advance.

What's the use case here? Do you need to use the phone while on speakerphone? hitting the power button just flips it back on, but i'm assuming it's that extra step you are trying to avoid?

I use it for work to speak to clients, and I'm usually on the computer at the same time. I need it to be "hands free".
Like I said, my Incredible used to dim while on speaker phone, so I never had to pick up the phone and press the power button, to end the call or access anything while on a call. I guess I got spoiled. To me now it just seems like common sense. Why would you want the screen to timeout while you're on speakerphone?
I can't imagine that it can't be done, but that is well beyond my skill set.

Screen Randomly Comes on and Won't Timeout

The last two nights I've woken up and my display has been on while charging. I unplugged it and tapped the power button to shut off the screen. A few hours later I woke up and the screen is on again. It seems it comes on when it receives a notification and then it doesn't want to time out. Screen timeout is set to 1 minute and smart stay is off. Any ideas? I have no profile or power altering apps.
Did you by chance turn power save mode off under wifi setting *#0011* ? I did that and then noticed the screen stayed on all the time. If you never touched those settings then disregard

I never touched those setting. Thanks
I would turn the phone off and pull the battery. Sounds dumb but it can fix stupid little issues like this. Otherwise I'd to a hard reset and see if that helps. If not then return it and get a new one if you can. I have not had any issue like this yet.
Lock screen options too...Make sure they are correct.
Yeah pulling the battery fixes it temporarily but then it happens again. I'm thinking it might be an app I have installed but I have the same apps installed on my One X and I don't have the issue there. I can exchange it, I work at the AT&T Store but I think it's a software issue. I might try the factory reset.

I bet what you're dealing with was my problem too. I would send a text, turn the screen off but leave the messaging app up and then when they responded the screen would come back on and the phone would think I read the message since it opened right back up to the same conversation. The only way for me to fix this was to turn instant lock on so when the screen came back on it went to the lock screen instead of completley turning on the phone. This is a stupid feature from Samsung IMO and they have always done it.. Problem is that I like their messaging app (especially the quick reply and favorites at the top) so I don't want ot switch to something else... hoping someone comes out w/ a modded app like they have on other Galaxy's. Just not sure if I'll be able to install it since I have the Verizon varient and likely will never get root.

hmmm. one thing ive noticed is my watch would get notifcations and wouldn't vibrate if i didn't have the app set to vibrate on my phone. IE Bleacher Report is silent on my phone so I get a card but no vibrate on my watch. not sure if it's supposed to be like this though as I'm new to android wear.
Guys I think I've figured this out!
Okay so my text my messages are set to vibrate only but I only get the vibrate on my watch if I have a ringtone set. If its on silent it won't work.
SOLUTION:
To fix this set your default text messaging app's notification to "default notification sound" and your main notification sound under your phones main settings to "silent" ever since then my watch vibrates and the screen lights up every time!

S6 edge repeatedly notifies that phone is set to silent mode

I have an S6 Edge, model SCV31, currently running android 7 (updated last night).
Due to my work, I've been in the habit of always having my phone in silent/vibration mode. This has been the case, with this same phone, for around two years. Maybe two or three days ago there was a notification on my lock screen telling me that my phone was on silent and that I may miss calls. I was given the option to take my phone off silent, or say "it is okay". I have never had this notification before. Normally if I receive a notification I don't care for, I long press on it and turn off notifications for whatever is causing it. I could not long press on the notification, and touching the screen to unlock my phone caused the notification to disappear. This was while running android 6. Around the same time these notifications started I was emailed by my service provider that I would soon be able to download android 7. I received the notification a few times before updating, both while charging and not. I was hoping the update would reset/fix whatever triggering the notification, but have still been receiving it since.
I have not been able to force the notification to reappear. I have tried turning on sounds and turning them off again, restarting my phone, and leaving my phone charging for a few minutes (I initially noticed it while charging) to no avail. Until now, I haven't thought of taking a screen shot, but if necessary I will try to remember when next it occurs.
Does anyone know what is causing this notification and how to turn it off?
Thank you in advance,
JB
