When I first tried some CM12 build, it wasn't too stable and I went back to CM11.
I finally jumped on the CM12 bandwagon but I miss one feature from kitkat roms. Why did lollipop developers remove the ability to turn off sound AND vibration using volume keys. In cm12 I can either make my phone vibrate or have a low ring volume. I can't turn both off. Is there a mod or to be able to use volume keys to turn of vibration?
Same thought/desire. How do I prevent vibration now anyway?
Put the phone into "None" when the volume popup appears and it will suppress vibrations.
Admittedly, it also suppresses the notification light, so no interruptions (as the feature is called) go through, but that's the best answer that I have found thus far.

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?
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...
Using a Samsung Epic 4G under Sprint. I believe Gingerbread is on here. Is there a way I can set this phone so that all the different sound volumes (except for media) is controlled via the one main volume control? As it is now, notifications have there own volume control. At the end of the night, when going to bed, I usually lower the ringer volume to the lowest setting (lowest without being off), but the notification sounds, such as if someone texts me, remains loud. I have to manually go into the SETTINGS > SOUND > VOLUME to control that separately. Would be nice to all just follow my MAIN volume switch.
I've noticed that on the new release on Pie - when I manually turn the phone down, it just turns down the 'media' volume and not the ring tone volume, I need to actually go in a also turn that one down.
Am I missing something? Didn't it used to default to turning both media and ringtone down? Is there a way of making both come down or at least default to ring tone?
It's a new Pie settings.. It works like this... You need to click the settings icon in volume panel to open audio settings and change whatever you want
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
Michael
