Is there any app for the xoom that will turn off all sounds for things like meetings? On the phones, there is one where all you do is press the power button and then choose silent sounds. Thanks!
Tasker , you have to do a step by step config , or try silent mode timer .
use the volume key to bring up the volume on the screen then click on the speaker, mutes everythng.

OP: Use what he said in the post above. It's built into the system, and literally takes half a second to do. That's what it's there for, right?
volume plus(+) app. it has two widgets, one is a profile shuffler. three profiles so either one or two clicks on your homescreen.
probably beats having to bring up settings or pressing the a bit hard to press volume keys.

This works well for the alarms and ringers, but certain apps *ALWAYS* ignore this setting and use full volume anyways.
Personally, I like and use Quick Settings. It works very well and lets you change settings quickly. You can quickly choose between silent, vibrate, sound only, or sound and vibrate with it.
I use AudioManager. You can set up widgets for whatever sounds you want/dont want.
i.e. I have 4. One for only Media sounds. One for only Systems sounds. One for all to be up, and one for all to be off. You create the widget and press it once and then profile will be applied. You can set each setting to a specific volume. For example, if you want to watch movies at a certain volume, create the widget, during the creation, choose the sound volume and save it. Same can be done for music. You can create a widget to have some sounds on, and some off. Its totally customizable and i highly recommend it.
They have a pro version as well.

I forgot there were physical volume keys. Thanks for the pointer except it only handles 2 of the 3 things that has sound to it. If you went to settings and then sound, you will notice that the third one with the clock is not set from the volume keys. The 2nd one is when you click on the 3 sliders icon on the right side after clicking on the volume button.
With phones, I use Silent Mode Jammer which basically turns off all sounds when pressing the power button but on the Xoom, even with Silent Mode Jammer enabled, pressing the power button only allows shutdown of the device.
Xoom doesn't vibrate are you using this for silence?

I installed Volume+, the paid version and I don't see the widgets when I tried to add widgets to the home screen, what is it called? Is Volume+ the app with the volume knob for it's icon?

Never thought about it lacking vibrate. LOL. Haven't found anything to silence it other than using the settings and the 3 sliders manually.

Hi, i'm using a GB custom rom and i want the aokp feature which when you press volume key, it shows an option to expand the volume settings and change the volume for other things. For example when in homescreen i press volume to change ringtone, i want to be able to change media volume from homescreen, or an office app...
Please help me make a mod that do this!! (do'nt even know where to start)
Or i could use the volume key to change only media volume instead of ringer/media.
I looked for this on internet and there's a lot of threads of people wanting this, but not even one with a solution...
It can't be made?
No one? Come on people

Hello friend.
I had the same problem and today I found the solution. I use Resurrection Remix too.
I had downloaded an app called NOYZE that did the trick.
There's some details, tough. The app isn't in the play store and only expands the panel with pro version activated. So I downloaded it using Blackmart and activated pro using LuckyPatcher.
It overrides the normal volume panel and is very useful.
Check it out if you can.
Hello, I havent find how to put phone in silence, with volume buttons only goes to vibration mode, and there is no silence mode in settings, only way I found is to set ringtones to silence which is odd and slow.
Thanks

Volume buttons does enable silent mode. It's just one "up volume" click away from vibration. So it goes Vibrate -> silence -> volume 1 -> 2 -> etc.
If that doesn't work for you, long press your power button so the power off screen appears. Right under turn off there are 3 icons, for silent, vibrate, and sound. Click one of them and voila.

i think you mean one "down volume" from vibration? at least on mine it goes silent, vibrate, then ring. if you hold down volume down, it will go straight to vibrate. push volume down again once on vibrate, and it will go into silent mode.

Ok, I have to maintain pushed down volume button after it has arrived to vibration, and it enter silence mode, also the power buton option works too.
Thank you both very much
Use power toggle

I made a small workaround that is very handy!
I used Nova Activities widget to create a shortcut to the Sounds and Notificaitions --> Interruptions activity.
Whenever I want to sleep, I simply tap the widget on my homescreen, turn off Calls as priority notifications and go to sleep with peace of mind. :angel:
As soon as I wake up, I simply enable Calls as priority interruptions again by using the Nova widget
I know this is a workaround but this is the best way I found so far to solve this irritating problem on Android Lollipop.
I would also love to hear about any workarounds that anyone else on XDA has hacked together! Probably whip out a dialog UI using Tasker?
Hit thanks if my post helped you :good:
Hey all,
I am coming from an EVO 3D which had CyanogenMod 10 with JB 4.2. When I pressed either of the volume rockers, the volume bar would pop up with the option to change all 3 volume settings, ringer/media/alarm.
On my nexus 5, I had to set up a shortcut for Sound Settings in order to change all 3 volumes. Am I missing a shortcut or easier way to adjust all 3 volumes? When I currently press the volume rocker, it only lets me change the volume for the ringer (or media if I'm playing music/games).
Thanks!
In the Settings hit Sound and then Volumes.

Try actually reading the OP before you reply next time.
I really miss this option as well. I know some custom roms on my GS3 used to have an option make that sound bar expandable or always expanded.

Actually, shaneledford understood exactly what I was asking. I was just asking to see if there was a way to enable this volume setting.
Too bad Google didn't catch on to this neat little shortcut.
This issue drives me up the wall. Anyone knows a way to quickly adjust volumes without digging through the settings I would greatly appreciated.

Hi all,
Quick question -
I upgraded to 5.0.1. yesterday, and now I can no longer use the volume rocker as a shortcut to switch between "no interrruptions (silent)" and ALL notifications. In other words I cannot use the volume rocker to adjust ring volume and or disable notifications for a period of hours.
The volume rocker only adjusts MEDIA volume now?
What is the quickest shortcut to adjust from ring volume and/or disable interruptions, without having to go into the settings, sound menu.
I'm sure there must be some shortcut.
thanks
Sorry. The shortcut is still there and works with volume rocker. I killed everything in my tasks view window, just dragged away about 20 different tasks. And now the volume rocker shows the options again.
It seems some app was holding the volume rocker as media volume only, even when the app was backgrounded.
When it happens again I'll remove the tasks one at a time to identify the app at fault.

I'm getting desperate about the notification volume thing. I'm using volume butler but it's not reliable, especially when switching to DND mode and back. Sometimes my ringtone is very soft while the notifications are really loud.
Looking for a final fix for this, my phone is rooted. Is there some build.prop that can be enabled or a magisk mod?
Hello, you can use Button Mapper here in XDA.
You have the option to use ringtone volume instead of media volume with the + - button.
You can also make applications exceptions. I use that with play music while I use Chromecast.
That's work without root.
Regards.
I used Tasker and set up tasks that sets levels for everything in four different volume conditions... Vibrate, Low, Medium and High. Within each task, I set Alarm Volume, Media Volume, Notification Volume and Ringer Volume. I also created a pop-up to tell me what profile I just set.
Then, I created individual widgets on the screen that are simply shortcuts to the tasks - one for each volume condition. Tasker comes with that widget built in. When I want to change the volume on my phone, I just tap the icon for the volume I want.
It doesn't override DND and it sets the volumes exactly as you want them every time.
