Hi,
In my previous phones I could just hold the volume - button and the volume would reduced till the phone was on Vibrate mode. Then if I pressed the Volume - one more time, it would've gone to Silent mode. But I can't do the same with my Huawei Mate 8. Is there any way to have shortcut for switching between vibrate/silent ?
Thanks,

Hmmm, I always simply use the quicksettings to put the phone on sound/silent/vibrate, and for easy access put do not disturb under that as well. Click, click, done :good:
In the second screenshot you can also see the silent switch after pressing down till volume zero using the side buttons. But the first method is the quickest of the two

Due to the power button issues with the Nexus One I would like to see an app developed for adding a power button widget to limit the amount of abuse our physical power buttons must endure.
With all the great devs here on XDA, I am sure that someone will be able to get this app up and running for all of us Nexus One owners. (Tmo, AT&T, Verizon, etc.)
Launch Market. Search for "reboot control" and there you have it: a widget that lets you reboot, power down, reboot into recovery, wipe handset, reboot into bootloader.
and an app to turn off your screen instead of hitting the power button or waiting for it to go into standby?

Yes, as well as the other common power button controls
Are there any reboot apps that don't require ROOT?

no need for an app.
just click vol-down, trackball and the power button all at the same time and it'll reboot.

Thanks for the tip! I do like a software solution though as well. My question still stands, is there a power button widget that doesn't require rooting my new phone?

I don't think there is. If you can't run reboot in a terminal without root access then I doubt there is an app that can do it.
I would love a widget that would allow you to cut off the screen.
After trackball wakeup trick we only need widget to put phone in sleep and i'll surely forget about power button who is very hard to reach one handed
Anybody?
Is there any app for the xoom that will turn off all sounds for things like meetings? On the phones, there is one where all you do is press the power button and then choose silent sounds. Thanks!
Tasker , you have to do a step by step config , or try silent mode timer .
use the volume key to bring up the volume on the screen then click on the speaker, mutes everythng.

OP: Use what he said in the post above. It's built into the system, and literally takes half a second to do. That's what it's there for, right?
volume plus(+) app. it has two widgets, one is a profile shuffler. three profiles so either one or two clicks on your homescreen.
probably beats having to bring up settings or pressing the a bit hard to press volume keys.

This works well for the alarms and ringers, but certain apps *ALWAYS* ignore this setting and use full volume anyways.
Personally, I like and use Quick Settings. It works very well and lets you change settings quickly. You can quickly choose between silent, vibrate, sound only, or sound and vibrate with it.
I use AudioManager. You can set up widgets for whatever sounds you want/dont want.
i.e. I have 4. One for only Media sounds. One for only Systems sounds. One for all to be up, and one for all to be off. You create the widget and press it once and then profile will be applied. You can set each setting to a specific volume. For example, if you want to watch movies at a certain volume, create the widget, during the creation, choose the sound volume and save it. Same can be done for music. You can create a widget to have some sounds on, and some off. Its totally customizable and i highly recommend it.
They have a pro version as well.

I forgot there were physical volume keys. Thanks for the pointer except it only handles 2 of the 3 things that has sound to it. If you went to settings and then sound, you will notice that the third one with the clock is not set from the volume keys. The 2nd one is when you click on the 3 sliders icon on the right side after clicking on the volume button.
With phones, I use Silent Mode Jammer which basically turns off all sounds when pressing the power button but on the Xoom, even with Silent Mode Jammer enabled, pressing the power button only allows shutdown of the device.
Xoom doesn't vibrate are you using this for silence?

I installed Volume+, the paid version and I don't see the widgets when I tried to add widgets to the home screen, what is it called? Is Volume+ the app with the volume knob for it's icon?

Never thought about it lacking vibrate. LOL. Haven't found anything to silence it other than using the settings and the 3 sliders manually.
The power button of my i9023 completely died so I remapped the search button as power button by modifying the key layout file in /system/usr/keylayouts/ but it seems that hardware touch keys are inactive when the screen is off.
Is there a way to enable them? I already tried adding the WAKE flag but it doesn't work.

These keys are not kept on when the screen is off. You'd be better using something such a volume wake (wake phone by pressing vol + or -) instead. Lots of roms have it in their options.

I already have the volume wake but it doesn't work when listening to music so I installed Tap Tap to unlock also with the proximity sensor; this thread was more for curiosity and aesthetic reasons than for real need.
So, from what I understand, that behaviour is hardware related thus impossible to be changed by software.
Hm, I have one question, is something like this:[KERNEL]Slide 2 Wake possible on our device?

I believe it would need to be implemented in the kernel. I don't think anybody took the time to check deep enough to do that for our Nexus.
Kinda wish we had it too.
Hello, I havent find how to put phone in silence, with volume buttons only goes to vibration mode, and there is no silence mode in settings, only way I found is to set ringtones to silence which is odd and slow.
Thanks

Volume buttons does enable silent mode. It's just one "up volume" click away from vibration. So it goes Vibrate -> silence -> volume 1 -> 2 -> etc.
If that doesn't work for you, long press your power button so the power off screen appears. Right under turn off there are 3 icons, for silent, vibrate, and sound. Click one of them and voila.

i think you mean one "down volume" from vibration? at least on mine it goes silent, vibrate, then ring. if you hold down volume down, it will go straight to vibrate. push volume down again once on vibrate, and it will go into silent mode.

Ok, I have to maintain pushed down volume button after it has arrived to vibration, and it enter silence mode, also the power buton option works too.
Thank you both very much
Use power toggle

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. :angel:
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 :good:
Is it possible to take a screenshot in places where you shouldn't? For example I'd like to take a screenshot while I'm using chrome incognito mode.
Maybe there's a magisk module or an app to trick this.
