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?

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...

Having an issue around the silent mode not vibrating for notifications (email or messaging) I'm using a nightly build.
Model - MB860
version - CM7-11092011
Vibrate is set to Always
Silent and vibrate are two different modes right?

Well I know silent and vibrate are different, but while silent means no sound (Duh) I have the sound mode set to switch between (sound+vibrate) and (vibrate) through the Notification power widget. To squash some of the future comments I've tested the issue through the widget or through settings options with the same results.

I use Power Control Plus widget to switch between "sound + vibrate" and "vibrate", it works well for me. I believe there is also a silent option but I don't have that enabled to toggle. Also Shush is a great way to automatically turn your ringer back on after a set amount of time.
Is there any method to fully disable the vibrate function in ICS? Although it says it's disabled in the settings, it keeps vibrating when i turn of the volume and receive an email for example. I just want it off, at all times.
thx
Wondering this too. Need to turn this off completely. I am getting a loud noise on the top left of tablet when the vibrate goes off.

Go to settings, sound, and uncheck vibrate and ring, and vibrate on touch then retart the tablet. It should not vibrate any more.

That helps for sure, but doesn't disable completely.
For example if you turn the volume on the side of the tablet all the way down it goes off and it will vibrate playing some games.
I'd like to know this too... how to completely disable vibrate at all times (muting, power on/off, in apps, etc).
My vibrate motor started going bad over the last couple days, and now produces an annoying rattle sound.
I don't need the vibrate anyways, so would love to disable it.
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
I use a nightly DND schedule. When the schedule turns DND off my phone beeps. Is there anyway to turn that beep off?
I have used the system DND and several apps to schedule DND and still have the beep.
The problem being the beep wakes me up and I don't want to wake up at that time unless someone calls or texts me.
Thanks for any help.
Turn system sounds volume all the way down?
Thanks! Yes system volume is all the way down when on DND but I really think it happens when volumes are automatically turned back on. I probably need to Disable "Beep" sound on volume adjustment. Any ideas?

What happens if you turn system sounds all the way down BEFORE turning on DND? I normally keep system sounds off, and I haven't noticed my phone beeping when DND goes off. It's possible I just haven't noticed it, but I think I would have heard it at least sometimes. Yesterday I was awake with phone in hand when DND ended, and I didn't notice a beep.
