Disable silent mode and make vibrate the lowest volume mode?

I often accidentally hit the volume down button on my phone. It's not a big deal if it goes to vibrate mode, but I never want it to go to silent mode.
Is there a way to completely disable silent mode on the phone?
Thanks!

This app will warn you periodically if your volume has changed accidentally

You can also remap the volume keys with it to perform other actions (such as open task manager, or go to Home) and open volume only with a shortcut.

[Q] Easier way to toggle b/w Ring, Vibrate, and Silent?

i'm coming from a nexus one and g2, so i'm used to having these three mode easily accessible.
at home, i leave it on the "ring mode" (no vibrate). at work, i put it in "silent mode" (no sound, no vibrate) and leave it on my desk. whenever i get up or whenever i leave, i toggle it to "vibrate mode" (no sound).
for the nexus s, it seems like silent and vibrate modes were basically merged. i would have to go to Settings > Sound > Vibrate, every time i want to switch from "silent mode" and "vibrate mode". i used to just press the volume rocker down to do that.
any suggestions?

the lock screen is the fastest
or just use volume up and down

volume up down can help me toggle between ring / vibrate OR ring / silent, depending on my vibrate settings.
with my nexus one and g2, i was able to toggle between ring > silent > vibrate, in that order.

Beautiful widgets has “vibrate” and “silent” toggle.

on cyanogen, the enhanced power widget, you have one click which toggles from ring, vibrate, silent. so one tap to switch between each of those. and it sits on your homescreen.

thanks for the suggestions. downloaded the silent toggle widget and it does what i need.

This needs 2 taps, but you get the wanted mode immediately:
Simply open the app and select a mode; the selected mode takes effect immediately.

[Q] How do you adjust volume with screen off / @ lock screen?

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know if it is possible to adjust our phone's volume (music volume, or to quickly put the phone in/out of silent mode) while :
1. While the screen is off
2. While the screen is on and still in the locked screen (when there is a password set...due to exchange security policies)
Thanks!

You can change your media volume with the screen off, but I don't believe you can change your ringer volume. I have a Pebble watch and I'm able to use it to quickly toggle between ringer, vibrate and mute, but that's as close as I think you can get.

While your screen is on at the lock screen, press and hold the power button until the "power off" and all the other options menu pops up. Then press the volume up and down.
You can now adjust your volume up/down while locked.

[Q] Change power button to use custom shutdown app?

I have this app called Quick Reboot. It let's you go into shutdown/reboot/recovery mode.
Any way to make it so Quick Reboot launches when I hold down the power button instead of the default which only gives me the option to Power Off?
I have a Nexus 6 if it makes a difference
Thanks for any help

Silent mode

When pressing the button down, it doesn't go to mute(silent) only have 2 options, vibrate and volume.. Everyone phone I've ever had had mute when pressing the button all the way down. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

i'm searching for the same thing... my note 4 i could hold the vol down button and it would go past vibrate and into silent/mute...
i have noticed that you can pull the drop down top and tap on the volume setting and tap thru sound, vibrate, and into silent/mute... still not the same thing tho

That's how I have been putting my phone on silent at night... Much easier Imo to just hold the volume down button. Still can't find anything unfortunately
