Coming from a Samsung where holding volume down you could set it to vibrate only for notifications and calls. On the P6 it seems the volume button only directly affects the media volume and you have to hit the three dots to pull up the volume menu then move the ring tone and notification slider. Is there an easier way? Thanks
This works.
Pixel Gesture to quickly set phone to silent or vibrate mode?
Having owned several OnePlus phones over the years, I have so gotten used to the side slider 'button' to quickly silence the phone. I am seriously considering buying a Pixel 6 - but just wanted to know from Pixel5 owners etc, is there a way of...

Had my Galaxy S2 for a few days now and love it. I have come from a Desire HD and the Galaxy blows it out the water.
One question, is there any way to set the sound profile to vibrate only? I can set it to silent, but was wondering if there is a way to have it on vibrate only?
From the home screen pull down the notification bar. At the top of that is one of Samsung's 'cleverly' hidden power controls.
One of them is called 'Sound Vibration. It lets you toggle vibrate on or vibrate off.
Strangely, this single control doesn't exist in the power control widget you can add to a homescreen. Wtf.
Actually what I wrote is partially balls.
Switching that option on fixes the SMS vibrating option. However, when someone rings you the phone vibrates with a ringtone.
Still vexed. Fail.
Coming from sense and cm7 on other phones I was surprised the sgs2 didn't have this by default.
Is there any way for the volume keys to control the global volume for the phone?
Meaning
Ringing
Notifications
Alerts and so on
I mean I put my volume low not to disturb people sometimes but the volume for the other things seems to stay at the levels selected under settings-sounds-volume
Other phones with various roms had an option for
Use ring volume for all sounds which avoided this issue. Is there a way around this issue? I would use miui or cm7 normally but they are too buggy for this phone right now.
Had my phone volume at lowest above silent yesterday and then got a notification which woke up my baby daughter cause volume for notifications was at 50% in settings.
Not cool
Thanks for any help on this

Right now I have to resort to using apps that make profiles. Which I didn't have to use this old method of changing my ringing or a 3rd party app
Coming from an HTC phone, I had the option to "Use incoming call volume for notifications". It was an easy way for me to turn up and down all volume using the side volume rockers. I don't see this option for the note. I was in a meeting yesterday and thought my phone volume was turned off, but the notifications kept going off. It'd be so much easier if i could use the volume rocker to turn down the sound as opposed to going into the settings and manually doing it every time I want to change the volume. Any tips?
I use widgetlocker and have a volume slider on my lock screen, I always just slide it to vibrate
Hello,
S3 is my first smartphone ever, so please be patient
Since I'm a student, I put my phone on mute during the classes (through the notification bar).
However, it happened to me twice now that accidental touch on volume up hard key took me out of mute. This is of course undesirable... Is there a way to disable this function of volume-up key?
I want to remain muted until I cancel it on notification bar.
Thanks!
bump... can anyone help?
Sad....it remains a big drawback of the android phones that we cant make different profiles for volume like Nokia phones......
I think you can only do this by finding a tone with no sound and setting it for all the alerts manally from sound setting before entering your class room
anyhow this is a good question and hope some devs can desable vol- button for enabling full vol. back
Thanks...
but modifying it manually at the beginning of each class, then again at the end, is not very comfortable.
Perhaps it can be fixed with a mod? something like that:
- clicking volume up if phone is not muted increases the volume, as usual.
- clicking volume up if phone is muted doesn't do anything.
I haven't touched an iPhone in many years, but to this day I still miss the volume slider for music. It was nice to be able to turn the volume up just a tiny bit if I wanted to. Without it sometimes turning the volume up by 1 is too load, but 1 less is too quiet. Is there anyway to get the ios slider on Android?
