Android 7 would automatically enable Do Not Disturb while on a phone call preventing notifications from giving you an audible alert that a new message came in. It seems that this isn't enabled in Android 8 and that the setting is non-existent. I'm hoping someone else has figured out how to enable this in Oreo.

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?

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.
For some reason, no matter what text or phone app I use, I receive visual notification banners at the top of my Android Auto screen but no audible notifications at all. I need to receive audible notifications of incoming texts and phone calls, so I can respond to them immediately. My phone stays in the central bin of my car, so I need to be able to respond by voice, not by physical interaction.
The phone automatically starts Do Not Disturb whilst connected to my car's bluetooth, or when connected to my Honda's Android Auto system.
It seems crazy to me that DND disallows audible notifications but allows banner notifications. After all, it is far more distracting to view and interact with a visual banner than it is to just listen to an audible notification and respond verbally.
Is there a way of disabling DND permanently whenever I connect to my car? If I try to turn it off when connected, the phone just re-enables it immediately.
@Scootmien,
No, DND is baked in to AA. There's no way to disable it. Package deal...

Crap. Oh well. It still seems silly to me that visual notifications come through but not audio ones.
So I guess that not even flashing another ROM onto the phone would sort it, as it's an AA thing.
Thanks for the reply.
@Scootmien,
No, a custom ROM won't change anything with AA. Here's a lengthy thread on the Google AA forum about your request > https://productforums.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!topic/android-auto/twGRWEcrt7E;context-place=topicsearchin/android-auto/do$20not$20disturb
I've done a workaround using Tasker. When AA starts, wait four seconds, disable DND, wait four seconds, Disable AA again. No exit task.
Seems to work so far.
I've got only 1 issue with my OP7 pro.
I get text on Verizon no issue I did the needed CDMA-less nonsense. But I'm not getting notification sounds when I get a text.
Emails are fine and messenger works but with stock message app or the messages+ app that I prefer I get no sound.
Yes the switch is on ring mode all the way down.
Yes I've gone in to settings and set a custom text sound and still no luck. Media and ring volume all the way up. Anyone else have this issue?

call Verizon again they didn't do it right the first time they did the same thing to me
Oh I misread I wasn't getting text messages when they did it wrong with me I don't know about the sound issue
Figured it out my stupid do not disturbed was on.
Found it on 2018 forum post for the OP6 lol I've NEVER used it. With the toggle on side of phone idk why there's even that option. I guess for automation it's a decent option to have. I was getting very frustrated. Funny and dumb issue.
I have 2 apps installed, WhatsApp and Ring Doorbell that are not giving me sound notifications. For me the volume on this device is not very loud. I work in a noisy environment and need loud volume. My last phone (Note 5) I did that sound mod changing the volume xml file and used very loud notification sounds (mp3) and it was perfect. So I took those sound files from the Note and put them into the Mi 10 Ultra in Ringtones folder and set them. Since then I get no sound notifications.
I did some digging and found an app 'Hidden Settings for MIUI' and set it to 'play sounds', but that didn't fix the issue either. I'm completely new to MIUI and am all out of ideas. Its strange, but when I open the phone, the WhatsApp notification sound beeps to let me know I have a message, but I have to open the phone, if its sitting in my pocket I get no notification. Ring Doorbell is not working at all as far as notifications go. Nothing. If someone who knows MIUI could give me some help it would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: shouldn't have wasted my time
That's it for me. SIM out and back to my Note 5. Great phone but the software is atrocious, if I had of known the nightmare this would be I wouldn't have bought this phone. So now it goes back into its box where it will stay, 6 months 1 year I don't care, until there is an alternative to using this absolute mess that MIUI is. A real shame, but something as simple as a couple of apps really is the deal breaker for me. Maybe I'll sell it? Global ROM? Who knows ....but for now its a useless device that can't even run a couple of apps? That is as bad as it gets. Its privacy settings are the worst I have ever seen. Disguised as 'protecting you' but in reality its the other way around. If I wanted to be locked out and locked in and locked down I would have bought an Apple iPhone. Xiaomi makes good phones, but their MIUI software is the worst I have ever seen. I would not recommend anyone buy this device.
I actually was facing this problem and found out a fix. You just have to turn vibration on. For some reason some apps don't make a sound if it doesn't have vibration on for notifications.

I have Ring doorbell and Whatsapp working (sort of) as sometimes they are delayed.
I had to change settings/notifications/ring and set rules for notification as important and also make sure all notification settings are on
Then fo to settings/apps/manage apps/ring and make sure Autostart is on and set permissions to make sure the bottom 4 are set to green ticked. Then make sure restrict data usage set to WLAN and Mobile data and then set Battery Saver to No restrictions.
Hopefully it will work after that. Do similar things to other apps that may not be making notifications correctly.
PS I'm using China ROM
So I had this issue and figured out a sure way to get sound notifications working.
You just have to turn vibration on in the subtype of notification for said specific app. If you don't want vibration on all notifications for that specific app turn it off otherwise.
Here is the thing that helped me with the same notification issue! Just google "xiaomi mi 10 ultra notifications" and in the top 5 links you'll probably find an article from:
theunpopulartraveller. It explains the settings, and they need to be accessed by pressing and holding the app icon ^ app info.
Don't give up, try and you'll get the sounds from needed apps back. And ye, actually now I find the way Xiaomi did it much more convenient: I just turned on notifications for 2 apps, and all the rest are silent, while previously I had to turn off all the rest of the apps (much more than 2, definitely) not to get disturbed by all the bull****.
Hi, I have a Xiaomi Mi 8 (updated to the latest MIUI version) and I'm trying to silence every sound of my phone but not calls.
I also really need the vibration because I often hear it and I also put the phone in my pocket.
I tried with the "Do not disturb" mode but it deactivate the vibration and some sounds are still enabled, also setting the notification sound to "nothing" is not good because apps sounds remain activated.
Do you know a way to do that? I could also use third party apps or root my phone.
