Smart Volume Control is a great App!! I've been using this app without any problems. I really like being able to set schedules. I can decide who can wake me up when I'm sleeping. Set it so the phone vibrates at work but calls from school / kids will still ring. A profile for vibrate and low ring for when I'm out. Just what I needed!

I've been searching for an app that will allow me to designate specific contacts or groups to override silent mode. For instance, I love sleep. I don't get enough of it. BUT, my girlfriend or boss or family need to be able to get a hold of me, so when they call or text it will notify me, even in silent mode. I believe Blackberry's have a feature like this.
this gave me the idea

There is an app called auto ring that will do that. I use it for the same reasons

Just tried it. Perfect!
i use foxyring, lets you set sleep hours, auto silencing, emergency contact list that can ring thru sleep hours with special ringtones. It can even do location based audio profiles. want your phone to auto switch to vibrate when you walk into work? it can do that. It even audio samples your current environment and adjusts your ringtone based on the ambient noise in the area you are located.

I love this app, but I wish it could do something else though, and having a hard time trying to search on it.
Just like Auto ring allows for certain contacts to override the state of the phone, I would like certain APPS to be able to override the state of the phone, for example, I would like my weather app to send its notification sound when weather alerts come out, regardless if the phone is on silent or vibrate ...
Sorry for hijacking the thread ...
I've been using an app to mute all the sounds on my phone (called Mute!), but it also blocks the vibration function. Does anyone have an app that will mute all system sounds (phone, notification, etc) and still allow vibration?
Press the volume down button till your phone vibrates. Works like a champ
Audio guru is pretty good.

That only mutes the ringer volume. I tried that when I first got my phone at the movie theater. I wasn't too happy when I kept getting text messages and didn't know how to turn off the notification sound.
I found Simple Sound Profile Widget. It lets you set up different sound profiles (like Normal, Meeting, Vibrate, Loud, or whatever) and then you can select one quickly from the home screen.
I'll check out Switcher Pro and Audio Guru as well.

Like Byrd said, no need to download an app. It already has the capability to mute all sounds for all notifications, but keep the vibrate on.
How do I silence notifications?
I have been looking around the settings and cannot find a way to silence the notification sound for SMS's, emails, etc. On stock Android most applications have a ringtone called "Silent" or something to that effect. On the HOS I cannot find it. I feel stupid asking this, but hopefully I am not the only one that is new to Sense and does not know where this is.
Thank you.

Go into sms>setting>notification>uncheck notification sound to silent sms. Then go to mail>settings>notification settings>uncheck sound notification. Hope this helps

Notifications and the phone Ringer volumes are tied together with no way to separate them. If you put the phone in silent it will silence notifications, or if you use the volume rocker on the side of the phone, notification sound volumes will decrease with ringer volume.

That is completely impractical. If I want notifications silenced, I don't want to jump through ****ing hoops like some dog & pony show, but I suppose technically you're right. As long as you don't mind all those ridiculous steps to get it done. But you can't turn notification volume down without turning ringer volume down.

hey im not htc i didnt decide to make it that way lol. i know its pretty dumb but he wants to be able to silent the sms, email, etc and thats how we have to do it. lol
An alternative solution: Try getting the app Volume Control +, set it so that ringtone volume and notification volume are not linked, and then turn down the volume on notifications all the way.
I haven't tried it, so tell us if it works for you.
I've tried with other volume control apps,and they all show different volumes for a second, but ringer and notification are always the same volume, even if the app shows them as different. I guess I'll give Volume Control+ a shot, but I would be surprised if it made a difference.

Volume Control+ & Audio Manager wont do it either.
Try this app:

Thank you for your responses and support.
I was able to disable the notification sound for gmail and SMS.
However, I cannot find a way to disable the notification sound for calendar events. Does anybody know how to disable event notification sounds?
I think it is crazy that "Silent" is not an option in the default list of notification sounds. It would be the easiest way to disable all notifications in one-step.
Thank you.
TURN OFF ALL SOUNDS [v1.0]
Turn Off All Sounds is an app that will mute your device with ONE touch. Your device will remain that way, until you unmute it. Volume ringer controls will be overridden and hence the device will stay muted even if you try to increase/decrease volume.
Features:
Minimalist, clean user interface
Mute device with one touch
Unmute from notification or from within app
Volume ringer overridden when device is muted
Almost nil battery consumption
UPDATE: Mute individual volume streams of your choice
Changelog:
v1.1:
Updated muting features! Option to mute specific streams included
Be sure to check out the screenshots!!!
Looking forward to any comments,criticisms or suggestions. So far the app has been tested on Nexus 4, Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300), and HTC One. Once again, feedback is greatly appreciated.
App will go live on PlayStore soon, and this post will be updated with PlayStore link. Please feel free to share the app!
WARNING: Alarms will ring at set times because there is a bug in Google's AudioManager api, because of which the alarm stream CANNOT be muted.
Works on Galaxy S4 i9500 :good:
Would be really usefull if you could chose what to mute, I want to mute all but notification sounds at times, and also really usefull if you could set it to automute between some hours of a day, or add a tasker plugin....just my ideeas...

Love your idea: chose what to mute. No need automate, many apps can do it. Just keep simple for light-weight.

Hey all,
So I've been running Lollipop for a few days now and till now I haven't find the silent mode. So even without vibration for calls.
Right now I have two choices:
1. Completly silent. But this will also silence my alarm which I don't want.
2. Let it vibrate. Which I don't want for phone calls.
I want my phone to be silenced but the alarm excluded.
Normally users could hit the volume down key one more time and put their smartphone into silent mode where it won’t even vibrate.
I've been searching for days for this simple option. Can someone help me out?
Thanks in advance.

Priority Mode.
Under "Interruptions" turn off everything and the only thing that will make a sound when the phone is in Priority Mode is the Alarm.

And the low battery sound and the charging sound and a few other system sounds. Priority mode is a poor substitution for a real silent mode.
I can't believe Google took silent mode out.
What the F were they thinking?

Also Viber,Whatsapp etc. will ignore it. Poor feature do far.

Set volume to 1 (Just before vibrate mode). Sit and reboot phone. You will now be in silent mode.
It's messed up for sure. I had it set to "priority" with everything unchecked so just my alarm would come through but some dumb Facebook notification woke me up in the middle of the night. Wasn't amused.
The only way to silent the phone except for alarms is to put it in airplane mode? Ridiculous.
Looking forward to some custom ROMs to fix up this mess.
This is my main reason for not updating to 5.0 so far... All I want is to be able to set the phone to totally silent, but still have the LED light for notifications without having to download something like LightFlow to do it. I like having nothing make noise/vibrate, but still have the LED blink when something comes in.

I developed an app: Call Filter Alarm. Its sleep mode can silence all notifications (also whatsapp and viber), even on Lollipop.
Hope it helps

Hi guys!
I too have the same problem and no app helped me... so I searched far and wide and I finally found a simple trick With my knowledge I have created an app:
Silent Mode Lollipop (search for it.merkcoolapp.silentmodelollipopfree in the Google Play Store to find it)
It only does one thing: switch from normal mode to silent mode, on any version of Android (of course, including Lollipop).
Remember, it's the 1.0 version
I hope it helps!

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
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
There is an app called True Silent Mode which supposedly adds back silence like we are all used to. Alternatively you can try a different ROM. CM12 has the usual "silent but with alarms on" mode.
