Been trying to figure this out for a while driving me nuts...is there a way to change between vibrate/profile/silent without holding the power button on the nexus 5?
Not without Tasker or similar app as far as I know. No direct way in Android.

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?
Hi guys
Is there a way of putting the phone on silent without having to 'open' the phone and then use the volume keys?
I'm coming from an iphone and in meetings I just used to slide a switch. I know the Z3 doesn't have that of course - but is there a way of doing it without waking the phone?

Yeah, iPhones have that dedicated hardware switch for that. Unfortunately, the Z3 does not have that as far as I know.
EDIT: Actually, you can push the power button once, then push and hold it again to open up a menu, then press the silent button. It's not a single switch, but it doesn't have to unlock the phone.
Yea.
The sound toggle menu works from the Lockscreen. The IPhone does have the hw switch, but its not switching to silent, hence the vibration is active. With android you can choose between sound, silent or vibrate. I prefer this over the IPhone way.
There is a setting wherein all you have to do is turn the phone face down. It's in Personalization, Motion. Haven't used it nor have I tested it on multiple calls.

Is there a way to stop the "warning" that pops up every time mobile data is turned off? Example. It is very unnecessary and forces me to "click" an extra time to proceed (yes I am that lazy).
Additionally, is there a way to change songs with the volume keys when the screen is turned off? On my old HTC One X I could change the songs by holding down volume up or down (regular pressing would still change volume). I would like this option because I frequently play music through my phone while driving. I have tried Pocket Skip Track but it is buggy and does not always work. I have also tried using DoubleTwist but the option does not work at all. Is there an option in Touchwiz for this that I simply missed? Or is there an easy root fix?
Hi all
I saw an earlier thread on this but can't believe that it's not a bug that needs fixed.
My phone has no apps open, I unlock it and press the volume buttons and up pops a little window showing me that I am adjusting the media volume. This functionality used to be context sensitive, ie, in this case it would adjust the ringer, in a call it would adjust the call volume and when playing media it would adjust the media volume.
Now it's just the media volume and a few screen actions to adjust the ringer.
Surely this is a backwards step and a bug?
Does anyone know of a way to change this, or an app that can be associated with the volume controls to make it work properly?
Thanks
Michael
I don't know that there's a way to revert it to a previous Android way of handling it as it's the way Google built Pie's volume control to work.
FWIW, they did it for the millions out there who don't ever want to change the volume for their ringer/notifications once they get it set, especially if they start adjusting volume for something like a call before the context has kicked in, so you inadvertently adjust ringer volume instead of in-call volume. At least, that's what I assume it is because that's what happened with me. I have set my phone to vibrate as soon as it's out of the box, and with the new way of handling volume, I no longer have to deal with changing it off of that setting until I reset the phone. I love it.

Thanks for the reply, and the explanation Seamonkey. I have to say though I still don't get why they didn't just make this a user selectable option. Pick the default volume to adjust or leave it as context sensitive.
For some of us the phone is still a device for phone calls first and everything else second!
All the best

Does anyone know of an app or other way to disable the physical volume buttons? My elderly mother keeps turning the volume down by how she holds the phone, and then she misses her calls. With anyone else I would tell them to turn the volume up, but her mind is going. So that doesn't really work in this situation.
Hi. You can try Button Mapper App on playstore. With it i disabbled Netflix button on my shield tv
