I have a Razr M on CM10.1 - 4.2.2, and Facebook Mesesnger vibrates even during silent mode when I get a message.
I would think Silent Mode overwrites any app priorities, but I guess not.
I have a tasker profile to set my phone to silent mode between 10pm and 9am only if the phone is plugged in, so my phone is on silent all night, but if I get a random facebook message, I wake up to the vibration.
Any way to fix this? Not sure if it's the app or something else.
Make sure you disable vibration in Messenger settings.

Yea I would do that, if I didn't want vibrations during the day, which I do.
The point of Silent Mode on a phone is to make sure it stays silent.

That means the Messenger app overrides the phone's profile (it doesn't honor silent mode).

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).
I've spent about two hours trying to figure out a way to put my phone in a state that silences the alarm sound and vibration when silencing the rest of the phone. I have tried:
- The free Smart Profiles app
- Tasker
- The phone's "Mute" setting (accessed by long-press of power button)
In all cases the alarm will still sound when it goes off. Does anyone know of a way to COMPLETELY silence the phone, including alarms, aside from turning all the individual alarms off?
Wouldnt that be defeating the purpose of having alarms? The only other option is to turn the phone off. But I assume you just want to use it on silent.
Try android assistant.

I guess it depends on how one uses alarms. I do use an alarm to wake me up, but I don't put my phone into silent or vibrate mode at night. I also use alarms as reminders, which is apparently the problem here. I have daily alarms to let me know when it's noon, for lunch, and 8pm, for my son's bedtime. Last night I was at a movie during the 8pm alarm. I expected that silent mode would silence the alarm but obviously it didn't. Silent mode on my old HTC incredible would silence the alarms, so that's what I'm used to.
Maybe I need to find another way to handle my daily reminder alarms.
Can't you just turn off the alarm and then back on when you need it?

I'm looking for a one-touch solution to completely silence the phone. On my HTC Incredible I could put it into silent mode with one touch and know that the alarms were also silent. It seems like the stock alarms on the S4 are such that they can't be silenced any way other than individually going in and turning them off. At this point I'm exploring 3rd party alarm/reminder apps to handle the daily alarms that I want to be able to silence, but if anyone knows a way to silence the stock alarms with a one-touch solution please let me know.

So you powered down your phone at the movies and it still beeped?
I'm a little concerned about this, too.
I ALWAYS turn my phone off at the movies. ALWAYS. How does it turn back on for the alarm?
I am using Widgetsoid for most of my switching needs. There is not a single button to make the alarms shut up, but there is a button that allows you to open a window with a slider for every sound on the phone, including alarms.
Phase 1. Install Widgetsoid, convert to /system app if rooted; it will enable some of the functions like GPS one-touch toggle
Phase 3. Profit
What you need is " audio manager pro". It's $2.99 but exactly what you need/want. You set profiles and there is a toggle widget to change between all of them.
Hope that helps, it sounds like EXACTLY what you asked for.

Please read what I wrote. I never said I powered down my phone. I set it to silent. Powering down your phone will indeed silence the alarms, so there's nothing for you to worry about.
I don't think there's an app that can provide what I'm looking for. I already use Smart Profiles to change my phone settings with one click. All of my testing shows that the version of Touchwiz on my Galaxy S4 does not have a setting that will silence the alarms. The decision by Samsung seems to be that the built-in alarms are for things you want to hear, even if you've set your phone to Silent or Vibrate mode.
Test this for yourself. Turn ALL of your volume levels to zero and then set an alarm using the built-in Clock app. I've done this multiple times and the alarm sounds every time.
I have solved my problem by switching to using Alarm Clock Plus. It's free, and let's you select whether you want each individual alarm to sound when the phone is in silent mode or not.
Maybe there's a way to silence the built-in alarms if you're rooted, but that's well beyond my pay-grade.

Those are not alarms. Alarms means make enough most to wake me up. Those are reminder notifications for calendar events. It sounds like you are expecting the alarm clock to act like calendar.

I registered only to say that I also use/used the alarms as reminders for things like medications, school being let out, etc. I recently switched from an HTC Thunderbolt to an S4 and figured out the new alarm problem. I don't want my calendar being cluttered with these daily items. I was at back to school night and had my phone on silent when a "reminder" went off. I felt horrible!
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?

Yes, thank you!
God damnit. I'm so sick of having my phone on vibrate (most of the time because I'm at work) and then clicking on a facebook video or opening an app that has music/videos in it, and sound come blaring out of the phone in the office even on vibrate. Please tell me someone has figured out how to make the V10's "Vibrate" mode truly vibrate only as in NO sound plays from any app on the phone without having to open the app and then manually turn the volume down...
Thanks
Can't help you there. I don't think there's a completely silent option. Best way is to just set to vibrate, tap on the settings icon next to the volume slider, and just turn the last one all the way down. If I remember correctly, the marshmallow update should fix that issue.

Hi, Notifications change ; All/Priority/None
best regard
This isn't my first Galaxy S device so I know my way around all the settings but this one has me scratching my head. When my device is in 'Sound' mode my phone still vibrates when receiving notifications and I'm not seeing an option to turn it off in the Settings or Notification settings. Is anyone else running this issue? or is my phone just odd?
go into settings -> sounds and vibration -> vibration intensity
find the notification slider and turn it all to the left to turn vibrations off entirely

Yup, vibration intensity should give you all the adjustments you need for calls, notifications, etc.
The only problem with this method is that when my device is in 'Vibrate' mode, my device won't vibrate when I receive a notification. I even went to Bestbuy to check out their demo devices, and it turned out that even their devices were missing that option. I don't understand how/why Samsung would leave out such important feature. Fortunately for us, Samsung is one of those companies that actually listen and care about what their consumers want so hopefully they'll release a firmware update that addresses this issue.

Settings, sounds and vibration, vibrate while ringing?

I don't want my phone to vibrate while it rings or whenever I receive a text message. I want my phone to vibrate when in 'Vibrate' mode.
Same problem here. They completely removed the option to have your phone not vibrate with texts when sound is on. Wtf
