Hello everyone.
When someone calls me, my screen doesn't turn on. I hear the ringing, and led flashes, but I have to press the power button to turn screen on and see who calls, and swipe to answer.
In notification settings, it says that pphone notifications are off. When i tap to open settings, there are no options, nor sliders to change..
Found the solution!
Whilst you are on a call, go to your home screen but do not end the call. Pull down the notifications from the top of the screen.
There should be the notification bar for the ongoing call. Hold down on this bar but do not return to the call. An options box should appear. Check the option that says "do not silence". You can now end the call and the problem should be solved.
(wow) thanks it worked. I had the issue for months.

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 have a Rogers Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE. Rooted but otherwise stock.
I've read a couple of posts where people say the phone doesn't hang up when pressing the RED button. My problem is different.
When I make a call if I stay on the call screen, I don't have the problem, I can hang up when done.
When I make a call and wander away from the call screen, either hitting home or task manager and switching tasks, when I come back to the phone to hang up (by pressing the green phone icon, bottom left) the screen I'm returned to is different, and doesn't have the RED hangup button.
Basically instead of having the in-call screen (Add call, keypad, end call, speaker, mute and headset buttons) it has the ready-to-call screen (numbers, Green dial, yellow email and back arrow).
I try everything to get back to that screen, but the only way I can hang up is to power off the phone. Rather serious. Help please.

If you navigate away from the call screen, then you have to pull down the notification bar and press Phone. This will bring you back to that previous call screen.

I have enabled the feature Settings > Motion & Gestures > Mute.
"to mute incoming calls and alarms, place hand on screen or turn the phone over".
This doesn't seem to work for SMS notification sounds.
I use a fairly long, loud notification since I work in a loud machine shop, but when I'm in a quiet area sometimes I need to cut off the notification sound mid-stream.
I've tried the gestures to cover screen with hand touching, flipped the phone over, pressed home button, pressed volume down button.
Nothing stops the notification sound and it plays in it's entirety.
Is there a way to stop the notification sound that is currently playing for an incoming SMS or Gmail message?
I just got my Idol 3 today and I figured out how to turn off most vibrate options. However, it won't turn off for notifications. I have turned the volume down and tried to put it on silent, but the vibrate stays on. I haven't seen anything in the settings that would help, either. Is vibrate always on? Is there even a way to turn it off? I just don't want my phone to vibrate and disturb me when I'm sleeping or if I'm in a situation where no phones are allowed like a meeting or an exam.
Hangouts has vibrate on/off toggles in three places under its own settings. Your Google account has two toggles for Google Voice and Hangouts messages. Also, sms has a toggle.
silence vibrate
to put it in silent mode, press volume down until it shows vibrate, then choose what to vibrate - All, Priority, or None. Tap None, then chose for how long, or Indefinitely
I just figured this out while trying to silence those annoying ads that vibrate the phone
WOW... THANK YOU!! You have no idea how much this helped my life!
I would also like to know if you can turn off vibration but not have it on silence
Hi all,
there's something strange or some I'm missing about this simple function. I'm used to my old Gear Fit functionality that turn off watch screen and vibration if I refuse an incoming call by pressing any phisical button... with GS2 smartwatch is not the same: pressing home button just stop vibrating on incoming call, but screen still remains lit , is it intended and there's any way to let it turn off when incoming call is manually refused?
Thanks all for support.
