When pressing the button down, it doesn't go to mute(silent) only have 2 options, vibrate and volume.. Everyone phone I've ever had had mute when pressing the button all the way down. Am I missing a setting somewhere?
i'm searching for the same thing... my note 4 i could hold the vol down button and it would go past vibrate and into silent/mute...
i have noticed that you can pull the drop down top and tap on the volume setting and tap thru sound, vibrate, and into silent/mute... still not the same thing tho
That's how I have been putting my phone on silent at night... Much easier Imo to just hold the volume down button. Still can't find anything unfortunately

Hi all
I've had my Omnia for a few weeks now and love just about everything about it now that I've tweaked it to suit me. I've set up the M2D system and think it handles great.
There's just one thing that I'd like to change and I wondered if anyone may have found a solution for me. When you lock the keys/screen by pressing and holding the 'end' button, the volume buttons can still be used - I thought I'd switched my phone to vibrate mode and gone into a meeting but must have caught the volume button a few times because halfway through the meeting my phone started screaming out Paradise City by Guns N Roses at almost full volume when a call came in, which was very embarrasing!
Anyhow - if anyone knows of a way to also lock the volume buttons along with the rest of the hardware buttons and the screen upon pressing and holding the 'end' button, I'd really appreciate the details.
Thanks in advance.
just hold the NO button to lock all the buttons instead of using power button to lock the phone.
i found the way to stop that i had the same problem and all you need to do is go to "settings" then "buttons" then scroll right until you see "wake up" then check the last box!!!!!!
Ok, the story is, my phone goes to sleep every 30 secs to save battery. And since I'm still very excited about it, I turn it on quite often, just to check . And the only way to turn on from sleep (as far as I know) is pressing the power button. Well, that means that button will be pressed a lot! I'm just worrying that it will soon have problems. It would be much cooler if we can touch some Android button down there, Home button for example, to turn on the phone. Do you know anyway to do that?
PS: I tried to google as well as search through out this forum, but the keywords are pretty common, so it's really hard though.
I wouldn't want the capacitive buttons activating my phone, think of all the butt-dialing
I think Widget Locker allows for any hardware button to wake up the device, so then you'd be able to distribute the fun between your volume rocker and the power button.
Widget locker does allow the use of the volume rocker to wake up the phone.
a short term fix or you might be to got o settings-->Applications-->Development-->Stay awake....
so as long as you are charging the screen will not sleep. dont forget to change the setting back if you walk away for a bit... or go to bed
Thanks guy. I think the volume button is good enough

thanks rumur, i going to give widget locker a try.
i hate it must reach for power button to wakeup!
i like "Simply Lockscreen", it also turns on cappy with volume buttons.
give it a try
On a similar note, do you all have any app tips that will allow me to do something special with the volume button while the screen is off (maybe long press or double click, or press both volume buttons at once) that will in turn toggle silent/vibrate on and off?
I make CyanogenMod 10 for my device. Official firmware - android 4.1.1. I have serious problems with the processing of pressing the power button and volume buttons.
When I press the power button, the phone starts to behave inappropriately. It appears when i try to unlock: not always the first time gets unlocked, you need a short press that the attempt was successful. And if you say I want to call the power menu, long clamp the power button and the phone will vibrate like crazy and there is a bunch of copies of windows power menu, you press back - phone go to the bootanimation ...
By the way with the volume button a similar situation! As is well known in the CyanogenMod is feature - volume buttons scroll through tracks. So if I clamp rocker to scroll through the forward / backward, flipping loops and skipped about 5-6 tracks!
In what could be the problem?
Surely someone had anything like that.
Sorry for my bad english)
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:
As the title says. Does anyone know where I can set the volume slider timeout delay that comes up when you press the volume buttons? I assume it's in the build prop? Thanks in advance.
The issue I have is when holding the volume button in either direction. A single press of the volume button brings up the slider almost immediately [timed at 0:0039 seconds] (but doesn't change the volume). Once the slider appears, pressing or holding the volume button again changes the volume immediately. Once the slider disappears, it takes a moment to wait for it to re-appear after holding the volume button (+ or - makes no difference). In the last 2 times I've timed this, it takes 0:0106 seconds for the slider to appear.
I only started noticing this issue after upgrading to 190123. I can't confirm if it for sure occurred because of this update.
P.S.: I just noticed that when holding the volume button up or down with the screen off, the volume does not adjust. I have to tap press the volume button to turn it up or down each step. Is this normal as I haven't noticed this "issue" before?
