Simple wish silent/vibrate/sound toggle - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Am on stock jb.
I just have a simple wish. I want to toggle between full sound with vibration, just vibration and silent without vibration. This should be easy, but I can't find out how.

I know the notification bar, yes.... Silent is WITH vibration.... at least here on my phone.

while in silent mode i have set the vibration to 0 on incoming/notification/haptic
so it's like silent 100%

[Q] lacking silent mode

On my other phones, when you keep pushing volume down, the ringer transitions from ring, to vibrate, to silent. But on the the photon, it goes from ring to vibrate. How do I tottaly silence it?
I wish there was a silent toggle. Sometimes I want both the ring to vibrate...but not always. I need a quick toggle.
if you press and hold the power button. it will pop up a menu. sound off is one of the options. you can also set the sounds off using the settings app.
I'd recommend downloading "simple sound profile widget" - it is similar to the profiles back when I had a nextel and a black berry. I put a widget that has the option of normal, silent, or vibrate - very quick and easy!

Or just hold the down volume key and when you feel it vibrate, you will be in Silent mode...
I know what u mean
This option was gone since froyo for some weird reason
Only cm7 brings that way back (via volume rocker)

Oh yeah. Probably would've helped if I read teh manual, but who does that
I wish there was a way to turn on vibrate individually quickly instead of going through the settings.
Huh?! It isn't gone. I use it all the time. Just press and hold the down volume key and it'll switch to Silent Mode...

it either goes ring to silent
or ring to vibrate
as i said back in the day, it would go from ring to vibrate to silent
to the OP, go to settings, sound, and play with the vibrate settings and ull get what u want
Yeah, that's right...
My bad, I didn't really check.
Damn, why'd they remove that feature...

vibration-mode doesn't mute notification sound

when I put my SGS3 in vibration-mode than the ring tone is muted, new calls will only be notified by vibration. o.k. so long... BUT: incoming text-messages are further notified by the notification sound!!! can someone confirm this issue? if yes that must be a bug! - every phone I owned in the last 15 years (and I'd a lot different types from different manufacturers) switched all sounds (notification, ring-tone and so on...) off in vibration mode! annoying... cheers Gerald
up - can really nobody confirm this bug?

Sent myself a text message in vibrate mode and it didn't make any notification sound. Did you drop down the drawer and use that icon to put it in vibrate? That's what I did.
Hope that helps!

that's exactly what I did, too! and vibration mode does not mute the notification sound, only the ring tone!
I found the solution!!! this was an issue of the tool "Volume Manager Free". Obviously this tool does any changes in the config of the "audio streams", and since I configured the audio streams inside the volume manager free (so that the ring-stream does also mute the notifcation stream, alarm stream...) - there is such an option in the settings of volume managaer free to configure that - all works fine! when I now put the phone in vibration mode, I can see that notifications are also muted, volume manager shows "notification muted by rington audio stream".... cheers Gerald

Mute/Vibrate problems

Does anyone else have the problem that if you have a text tone, email tone & phone ringtone, then try and Mute or put in Vibrate mode the S3, it only mutes the ringtone, both text messages and emails are still heard. Just found that out while in a meeting
Never experienced this before, any ideas?

No, this doesn't happen to me.. if I put the phone on silent everything goes silent.
Then if you open the volume control settings you can see that the icon for notification is crossed out to indicate silent.
Are you on a custom ROM? And how are you enabling silent mode?

I'm on Vodafone stock rom, I use the notification menu and selected Mute or Vibrate and text/email tones come through. I've even turned off the sound using the volume buttons, but these tones are still coming through.
When you go to volume settings do you are the icons crossed out when in silent mode?

I get either the icon mute or icon vibrate mode set in the notification bar area. I think I may end up trying a full reset and installing apps one at a time just in case one is conflicting.
One thing I have noticed is that if I use the volume rocker and turn it to mute, if you click the settings on the right of it, it shows all 3 volume settings and I think this is where it's not muting the other notifications

How to enable silent mode in Marshmallow?

Since 5.0, it has been a painful to get to true silent mode with Android. If you press the volume down button all the way, it tuns into vibrate instead of mute. However, in the past, I can just click on the vibrate icon and it turns into silent mode. With Marshmallow though this trick no longer works. Are there any ways around it? I do not like or want the DND mode because I still want to know when my e-mails and other notifications are coming in, I just don't want my Nexus 9 to beep or vibrate when they do. Thanks.
You will still get notified at the notification bar, although without sound or vibration, when you turn on DND mode. So you will see it there when you switch on the tablet. I guess this is the true silent mode you mean?

Disabling notification ring and vibration while using phone

Is there any way to disable notification ring and vibration while using phone? It is absolutely ridiculous. I mean I am not sleeping or anything while using phone. A heads-up notification should be enough. Why should every damn notification be screaming for attention that way?
