I know this has probably been asked before but even with a google search of the site I couldn't find it. How do you permanently keep the slider down on the phone status screen so as to always show the mute, speaker, end call buttons.
Thanks

Maybe somebody here has the programming skillz needed to make this app, but I want to be able to one touch any hardware button to silence a notification AFTER it rings. All the answers i get are to trim my ringtones down more, or get these apps that set up profiles. I like my ringtones where they are, and the profile thing is not what what i need as i have different times for things each day so....
the problem scenario:
I am sitting in a meeting-class-dinner-movie... Etc Etc, anything like that and BAM, I get a text message. It so turns out I forgot to silence my phone before, so here I am with "Dancing Queen" from ABBA playing in my pants.
Current method to deal with said problem:
Either stand up, or lean way back, Pull phone out of pants, Press a hardware button to unlock, Slide to unlock, Enter design code thingy or pin code, and finally, Pull down notification bar to silence "Dancing Queen"
Idea App solution: Hear notification (SMS, MMS, Email, etc) ringtone play, Frantically reach down and press ANY hardware button and instantly silence the ringtone.
Can anybody do this?

DOn't know what phone you're using, pretty much every Android phone I've seen has something like this.
Don't know which phone u are using but my Desire is muted when I press VolDown during an incoming call....
DROID X: and yes, during phone calls, that works. But I said notifications. Emails SMS, MMS, etc.....
DROID X: Rooted, DeoDexed, BigDXSerenity Red
I have the T-mobile S7.
Ever since I got my S7 when I have my phone on silent or vibrate, when an email comes in with my Gmail the notification sound plays. I have work email on my phone, but those new emails don't play through when on silent. Some other notifications also play through. I think from Google Hangouts and TXT messages. And I think Visual Voicemail notifications.
I can't seem to find anyone talking about this in my research. I have had several OTA updates from T-mobile and the issue is still there. I can't seem to figure out why some things have notifications that sound when the phone is in silent and vibrate mode. I have never had a phone do this before.
UPDATE: 2016.04.10
I still have the issue. I attached a screenshot of what is going on. The Media volume slider is not muting when I switch to Vibrate or Silent modes. The phone has had several OTA updates since I bought it and this still doesn't get fixed. I have the Moto G 3rd gen with Marshmallow as well and it doesn't have this issue. never had a phone with this issue. I am getting really tired of the work around, which is to manually mute and unmute the Media volume which takes several steps each.
I have two S7's and both have this issue.
Also, please don't suggestion the Do Not Disturb feature. Unless there is a way to have a simple toggle on and off of that feature with a pre-set of Total Silence, that solution does not help. So insane that silent mode is NOT silent!
Looks like I can toggle the DND shortcut and have moved it near the Mute/Sound/Vibrate button. Set DND to Total Silence. But still researching to see if the settings I use in the toggle affect the scheduled DND settings. As I only want Total Silence with the toggle, but at night I want my custom DND settings via the Scheduled DND.
Use macrodroid, e-robot or any other tasker-like app.
For MacroDroid, this particular macro does NOT require root:
1) Trigger volume button down, continue
2) Action Set music volume to media slider value 0
3) Constraint ringer volume is silent or vibrating
The above works ONLY when you use the volume down button. When the ringer volume reaches 0, it will also zero the media volume. It won't work if you use the Sound mode to change the ringer to silent or vibrate. You can program another macro to do the un-mute as well.
There are also other ways, such as through macro that is triggered by screen off, and change the media volume to 0 using the constraint of ringer volume being 0. This will work with Sound mode or DND, just not not immediately but when the screen turns off.
Sorry, I am looking for a stock method to this issue. Otherwise I think the general forum area would be a better place for me to ask about 3rd party apps. Right now I am still testing the DND options now that I see that I can toggle DND from the pulldown without having to choose DND options each time.
Darn it! DND is useless for this issue. If I leave the Sound toggle alone and on Sound, the DND does not affect things like unlock sound, key sounds, etc. etc. Silences calls and alarms, but the "total silence" option is NOT total silence. So I am still looking for a stock way to toggle mute and unmute of the entire sound system.
I just purchased a Note S8 and I'm having the same problem. There needs to be a simple and instant mute button so that if you need to mute in a hurry you can. If I am not overlooking it, it's ridiculous that they don't have them on these phones. I am used to using a Motorola and they always have had an easy way to quickly turn the sound off of my phone. The only way with this one is to hold down on the volume button and with a case it makes it even more difficult. I guess I'll just sit on it. $1000. Right.

Yeah, it's crazy. I now have 7.0.1 on my S7 and still no quick mute toggle with stock Android. And all my previous Android phones had a mute function that muted everything. Holding the volume button down does not mute all sounds. You have to press up or down, then mute the first slider which mutes all but Media, and then mute the media slider. THEN it's full silent. But I don't understand why it doesn't mute ALL sliders with 1 toggle via stock like it did on other phones.
the issue is still there on Galaxy S9....so freakin annoying
@sdho , yeah, it's insane! Android Oreo 8.x and we still don't have the simple mute function we had with much older versions of Android! By default muting should mute the Media slider too! If people want to only mute other sliders, THAT is what should then require the 2nd shade expansion to pick individual sliders. But 1 touch mute and vol down all the way, should mute ALL sliders by default.
I don't understand the programming decision to make the default the way it is!
PS: I now have the S9 Plus since launch.
Solved!
Just downloaded "Media Mute". Solved everything right away.
Thanks Choobaka, I now have Android Oreo 8.x with the Galaxy S9 Plus and still no improvement to stock 1 -swipe and touch mute. But thanks to your suggestion, while this can't be solved stock. At least it can now be solved without root and without any odd permissions. Thanks a ton. Trying it out now. So far it looks like that will do the trick for me.
hi, currently on my HTC u11 which I got yesterday.. Was wondering is there a auto hide notifications when I'm playing games or idling? Espacily when I'm playing Pokemon Go or in ig, the boom sound will show up and it's quite annoying.. Even when listening to music.. Is there a way to disable that or just autohide the notifications bar when idle?
Edit: basically when there's sound on an app it, will pop up..
+1 with also like to know how to do this.

yeah it seems like there's an option to remove it in Settings -> Sound & Notification -> Notifications.... and there's a list of apps and also system apps that we can silent from going to notifications.. just that i dont know which one is the boom sound :/
i pressed and hold to make it 'show silently' but it still on top there its quite annoying

As far as I know, without compromising your security by unlocking the bootloader and such, to reprogram the inner workings of android system, the only way to rid ourselves of this little ahole that the HTC programmers are seemingly not allowed to let us get rid of...is to use Bluetooth. As I recall from my most recent wired headphones, it remains at that time.
So get a bluetooth speaker for every room you listen to music in, and a pair of bluetooth headphones and you all set
What I find MORE irritating is the inability to change the white a$$ notification on lock screen to transparent. I guessed a theme might solve it. But I don't know how to design the notification strip on a theme. All I ever done was just set icons and wallpaper and stuff.
Does anybody else think the Alert Slider is a bit backwards?
Surely it should work similarly to a volume rocker in the sense that when the slider is up it should be in loud mode. Middle should be vibrate. Bottom should be silent. Instead of bottom being loud. Middle being vibrate. Top being silent.
I know that when i receive my silk white edition....if their is an option to remap the alert slider, I will be doing it.
There was a similar app/mod for oneplus 5, check in that forum, i think it was with tasker and root
Think of this like that :
The alert slider control sound. So either you put sound away : away from you the alert slider is. Either you want the get back sound, or keep sound :alert slider placed near you.
When in a phone call on a Pixel 3a, I have full control of muting, speaker phone, keypad ect… But if I back out of the dialer during the call, the call remains in place, but I know of no way to return to the controls such as muting, speaker phone, and keypad. I can reopen the dialer, but all I can do is make a new call. With my old Moto G-3 stock dialer, even after backing out of the dialer during a call, a link remained in the status bar. Is there a way to return the control of a call after backing out of the dialer during a call?
There's nothing in the statusbar for you?

Nothing. I inadvertently hit the back button during a call and all controls disappeared. I had to power off the phone to disconnect from the call.
Check the notification settings on the phone app. Maybe you have disabled the "Ongoing calls" notification.
You can also enable chat heads if you allow the overlay permission to the phone app, which is another way to return back to the active call.
