[Q] total mute - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been looking all over xda but can't seem to find the next thing:
Is there allready an app or a homebrew app available that let's WP users mute their phone very easily? As well as sound ass vibration.
It is pretty annoying I always have to change it in the settings.
Regards!

There is a volume-control app (in the dev&hacking sub-forum, I believe) but I admit to finding the request odd; why not just hold down the Volume Down button? If you have vibration enabled and want to turn that off too, you'll also need to turn on the screen for a sec (no need to unlock it, though).

Normally my phone is on vibrate + ring
When I'm in a normal meeting it is on Vibrate only
When I'm asleep/ important meeting/... its muted completely. No vibrating, no ringing.
It is pretty easy to switch between the first two. But to get it completely muted I always have to go via the ringtone settings.
If I hold the volume down to zero it will always keep on vibrating. I don't seem to get your point?

Ah, my bad. It used to toggle between Vibrate and Silent when you tapped the button on the screen. Now it just toggles the ringer; you can't disable the vigrate from there anymore. Dumb...

[Q] Not realize my ring volume is turned down?

I sometimes inadvertently turn ringer volume down low, and then forget to turn it back up to full and miss an important call.
I’ve found apps such as Ringer Volume (Android-Lab) however it wants ‘full Internet access’ don’t know if I like that with an app that will be constantly running?
Another option would be a taskbar icon showing my volume level i.e. 20% however I cannot find any such widget. It’s not mute that give me the problem it’s when I decrease the Ring Volume sometimes by accident when holding my Desire HD, with CyanogenMod 7
?Is this the correct section to ask for help on this problem?

no silent feature for volume control?

I'm hoping there is already and answer to this question but I long for the winmo days when i had the option to silent my phone without vibrate, now it seems the only option is volume up or silent with vibrate, sometimes I need the phone to be silent without vibrate, like when i'm interviewing or a in a training class and people near me don't need to hear my phone vibrate incessantly.
is there an option to put the phone on silent with no vibrate?

settings - ringtones + sounds - turn both ringer and vibrate to off. should work.
You can disable vibrate there.. and to switch between ringer and silent press vol up or vol down and tap on the bell icon in the top right of the pull-down shade..
I wish we could go from vibrate to silent right from the volume control though....

I'm only using NoDo, but I'm pretty sure if it's set to vibrate, and I turn down my volume all the way, it won't vibrate at all.

mute mode with Android 5.0

Hello,
I just passed to Android 5.0 yesterday and no way to go to mute mode.
Before, when I press down volume, after i had vibrator mode and one press down again and mute mode.
Now, if I'm on vibrator mode and press down volume, no mute anymore .
Thanks.
It's a known issue, (or maybe bug)?
It seems the only way to get into mute mode is by turning volume down to vibrate, then tap volume up one time and... Reboot. After reboot you're in mute mode.

Mute is required!!!
Just press volume up/down and tap "PRIORITY". By default it will be the same as "mute" mode.
In 5.0 the "mute" just became customizable

Except you'll still get notifications in "priority" mode and make noise. I had everything unchecked and some Facebook notification came thru when I was sleeping the other night. If there is some way to disable all notifications (but keeping the alarm) short of killing the internet connection I don't know.
This sucks in Android L. Hope some skilled dev can do something about it.
Or maybe Google will fix it if enough ppl complains: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79445

Tap a volume button and click "NONE". That will turn off ALL notifications, either indefinitely, or for the period you specify (defaults to 1 hour, but you can increase it by tapping)
[Edit] Oh wait, I just saw that you said "but keeping the alarm". Oh well...
No way there is no soulution for this problem dudez!

Silent Vibration mode as on iPhone

Hey folks, I've switched from an iPhone 6s to the Pixel. Zero regrets about that decision but I'm really missing on feature. The Silent/Vibration Mode you can activate with the switch on the side. Unfortunately the do not disturb mode kills all vibrations, when you're getting called f.e., but I would still like to get notified when getting called but just the vibration not the sound. Do you have any ideas, because I haven't found anything in the settings. Thanks in advance :highfive:
My phone never makes a sound, I just have it on vibrate only.
Use your volume switch and slide the "Ring" slider all the way to the left. If you hit volume down from there, it can go into do not disturb mode. Volume up again will put it back and vibrating only.
Also, if you go to Settings > Sound make sure that 'Also vibrate for calls' is turned on.

Un-desirable ring tone

Hi,
When you switch on the phone , you have a ringtone I would like to disable, is this possible ?
I didn't manage to find anything in the parameters.
Thanks
There isn't an option like Motorola or other OEM, but if you turn off your phone in "silent mode", when you turn it on again there will be no sound.

OK , I just tried..... and it works.
I wish I had a sound symbol to press on and off like wifi, torch light etc.... may be with an update later on who knows.
Anyway thanks a lot for the tip, I appreciate very much.
When you press a button of the volume rocker appears on the screen the slider to adjust the volume, right? If you press on the ring bell next to the slider the device goes in "silent mode" without changing the volume and in place of the ring bell appears the vibration symbol. If you press on the vibration symbol, the ring bell appears again and the volume returns to your favorite setting. It is a quick setting that allows you to switch between ringtone and silent mode without changing the volume, but placed in the quick volume menu, rather than in the general quick settings.
As an alternative you have the DND (Do Not Disturb) mode that has its toggle in the quick settings.
Yes this noise annoys me too but I rarely turn my phone off unless there is a reboot due to updates.
