Hey folks, I've switched from an iPhone 6s to the Pixel. Zero regrets about that decision but I'm really missing on feature. The Silent/Vibration Mode you can activate with the switch on the side. Unfortunately the do not disturb mode kills all vibrations, when you're getting called f.e., but I would still like to get notified when getting called but just the vibration not the sound. Do you have any ideas, because I haven't found anything in the settings. Thanks in advance :highfive:
My phone never makes a sound, I just have it on vibrate only.
Use your volume switch and slide the "Ring" slider all the way to the left. If you hit volume down from there, it can go into do not disturb mode. Volume up again will put it back and vibrating only.
Also, if you go to Settings > Sound make sure that 'Also vibrate for calls' is turned on.

the volume buttons... on the side... can fix that for you. press the down button until you get to the "vibrate" setting... and um, press the up button to turn the ringer back on and away from the "vibrate" setting -- the more times you press the up button the louder your ringer will be and visa versa until you get to the silent mode :/
that silent mode in the notifications section is just pointless in my opinion :/
I also had this problem today at doctors office, and missed a call.
I'am new to this phone and forum, but found this works. This is just one way,
I'am sure there are others too.
From Home Screen, Select Menu, Select Settings, Select Sound & Display
Check Silent Mode to "ON"
Check Phone Vibrate to "ON" (I leave this "ON" all the time anyway)
This way you only have to toggle ON & OFF the Silent Mode, as the Vibrate
always stays "ON", unlike if you use Silent from the Notification Screen. I don't
know why.
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.

I'm hoping there is already and answer to this question but I long for the winmo days when i had the option to silent my phone without vibrate, now it seems the only option is volume up or silent with vibrate, sometimes I need the phone to be silent without vibrate, like when i'm interviewing or a in a training class and people near me don't need to hear my phone vibrate incessantly.
is there an option to put the phone on silent with no vibrate?

settings - ringtones + sounds - turn both ringer and vibrate to off. should work.
You can disable vibrate there.. and to switch between ringer and silent press vol up or vol down and tap on the bell icon in the top right of the pull-down shade..
I wish we could go from vibrate to silent right from the volume control though....

I'm only using NoDo, but I'm pretty sure if it's set to vibrate, and I turn down my volume all the way, it won't vibrate at all.
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:
Hi,
When you switch on the phone , you have a ringtone I would like to disable, is this possible ?
I didn't manage to find anything in the parameters.
Thanks
There isn't an option like Motorola or other OEM, but if you turn off your phone in "silent mode", when you turn it on again there will be no sound.

OK , I just tried..... and it works.
I wish I had a sound symbol to press on and off like wifi, torch light etc.... may be with an update later on who knows.
Anyway thanks a lot for the tip, I appreciate very much.
When you press a button of the volume rocker appears on the screen the slider to adjust the volume, right? If you press on the ring bell next to the slider the device goes in "silent mode" without changing the volume and in place of the ring bell appears the vibration symbol. If you press on the vibration symbol, the ring bell appears again and the volume returns to your favorite setting. It is a quick setting that allows you to switch between ringtone and silent mode without changing the volume, but placed in the quick volume menu, rather than in the general quick settings.
As an alternative you have the DND (Do Not Disturb) mode that has its toggle in the quick settings.
Yes this noise annoys me too but I rarely turn my phone off unless there is a reboot due to updates.
