Dear all,
I'm new to Android phones, but i am q sure i set up the Tasker profile correctly...
So what i wish to achieve is:
For certain hours of the day,
Set volume ringer to 1
BUT for callers listed in my phone book,
Turn volume ringer to 6
i have read and tried tasker.wikidot.com/sleepmode and it does work nice, but i don't want my phone to be on Silent Mode because i am afraid there might be a chance that there's a legit call from someone not in my phonebook...
So when i replace the "Silent Mode" ON/OFF to "Ringer Volume" 1/6 (1 as the default sleep mode, 6 as the caller exception obviously) it does not work at all;
When there is a phonebook-listed caller calling in (i set caller number to C:ANY), i can hear for a second or two that the modified profile does increase the ringtone to level 6, but it will drop back down again to level 1 after that 1-2 second of ringing loud...
I do not have any other profile that fiddles with ring volume, just gestures for activating camera and cell tower location to turn wifi off...
I even tried running just a simple test:
1) set phone's ringing volume 1 by pressing the decrease volume side button on the phone body
2) turn off ALL Tasker profiles
3) create and activate the following tasker profile:
Event: Phone Ringing: (phone number left as blank)
Task: Ring Volume: 6
4) call in using another phone
5) it still gives the same result (1-2 seconds of loud ringtone, then back to the soft ring volume, and when i check afterwards, the phone's ringtone volume is 1, not 6)
I'm running Samsung Galaxy S II with stock Gingerbread (rooted of course)... and this is my first android... so i have no experience with trying this profile on other phones, or other versions of Android...
Can anyone help?
Thank you so much,
denny
HI;
I have a DesireS with android v 2.3.5
the problem is that when i press volume down button, my ringer volume decreases, but it's silent or vibrate profile is not activated.
I'd appreciate some help.
Not sure if this is still relevant, but, does the silent profile work fine when you activate it directly?
did you check silent sound profile in sound settings and which rom do you use ?

no, it doesn't. and i don't know rom's version. it's the one that came with my phone originally.
but I've solved the problem by "reset factory" in hboot menu.
I have the T-mobile S7.
Ever since I got my S7 when I have my phone on silent or vibrate, when an email comes in with my Gmail the notification sound plays. I have work email on my phone, but those new emails don't play through when on silent. Some other notifications also play through. I think from Google Hangouts and TXT messages. And I think Visual Voicemail notifications.
I can't seem to find anyone talking about this in my research. I have had several OTA updates from T-mobile and the issue is still there. I can't seem to figure out why some things have notifications that sound when the phone is in silent and vibrate mode. I have never had a phone do this before.
UPDATE: 2016.04.10
I still have the issue. I attached a screenshot of what is going on. The Media volume slider is not muting when I switch to Vibrate or Silent modes. The phone has had several OTA updates since I bought it and this still doesn't get fixed. I have the Moto G 3rd gen with Marshmallow as well and it doesn't have this issue. never had a phone with this issue. I am getting really tired of the work around, which is to manually mute and unmute the Media volume which takes several steps each.
I have two S7's and both have this issue.
Also, please don't suggestion the Do Not Disturb feature. Unless there is a way to have a simple toggle on and off of that feature with a pre-set of Total Silence, that solution does not help. So insane that silent mode is NOT silent!
Looks like I can toggle the DND shortcut and have moved it near the Mute/Sound/Vibrate button. Set DND to Total Silence. But still researching to see if the settings I use in the toggle affect the scheduled DND settings. As I only want Total Silence with the toggle, but at night I want my custom DND settings via the Scheduled DND.
Use macrodroid, e-robot or any other tasker-like app.
For MacroDroid, this particular macro does NOT require root:
1) Trigger volume button down, continue
2) Action Set music volume to media slider value 0
3) Constraint ringer volume is silent or vibrating
The above works ONLY when you use the volume down button. When the ringer volume reaches 0, it will also zero the media volume. It won't work if you use the Sound mode to change the ringer to silent or vibrate. You can program another macro to do the un-mute as well.
There are also other ways, such as through macro that is triggered by screen off, and change the media volume to 0 using the constraint of ringer volume being 0. This will work with Sound mode or DND, just not not immediately but when the screen turns off.
Sorry, I am looking for a stock method to this issue. Otherwise I think the general forum area would be a better place for me to ask about 3rd party apps. Right now I am still testing the DND options now that I see that I can toggle DND from the pulldown without having to choose DND options each time.
Darn it! DND is useless for this issue. If I leave the Sound toggle alone and on Sound, the DND does not affect things like unlock sound, key sounds, etc. etc. Silences calls and alarms, but the "total silence" option is NOT total silence. So I am still looking for a stock way to toggle mute and unmute of the entire sound system.
I just purchased a Note S8 and I'm having the same problem. There needs to be a simple and instant mute button so that if you need to mute in a hurry you can. If I am not overlooking it, it's ridiculous that they don't have them on these phones. I am used to using a Motorola and they always have had an easy way to quickly turn the sound off of my phone. The only way with this one is to hold down on the volume button and with a case it makes it even more difficult. I guess I'll just sit on it. $1000. Right.

Yeah, it's crazy. I now have 7.0.1 on my S7 and still no quick mute toggle with stock Android. And all my previous Android phones had a mute function that muted everything. Holding the volume button down does not mute all sounds. You have to press up or down, then mute the first slider which mutes all but Media, and then mute the media slider. THEN it's full silent. But I don't understand why it doesn't mute ALL sliders with 1 toggle via stock like it did on other phones.
the issue is still there on Galaxy S9....so freakin annoying
@sdho , yeah, it's insane! Android Oreo 8.x and we still don't have the simple mute function we had with much older versions of Android! By default muting should mute the Media slider too! If people want to only mute other sliders, THAT is what should then require the 2nd shade expansion to pick individual sliders. But 1 touch mute and vol down all the way, should mute ALL sliders by default.
I don't understand the programming decision to make the default the way it is!
PS: I now have the S9 Plus since launch.
Solved!
Just downloaded "Media Mute". Solved everything right away.
Thanks Choobaka, I now have Android Oreo 8.x with the Galaxy S9 Plus and still no improvement to stock 1 -swipe and touch mute. But thanks to your suggestion, while this can't be solved stock. At least it can now be solved without root and without any odd permissions. Thanks a ton. Trying it out now. So far it looks like that will do the trick for me.
When trying to adjust the alarm volume in the settings, the actual volume of the alarm doesn't change a bit. It's simply stuck at the highest setting and I can't seem to change it. This is a problem because my alarm is so loud that it wakes my other family members as well, not just me.
I'm using an Xperia Xz and nougat
assuming you're using the stock clock app to manage your alarms (either stock or custom rom, doesn't really matter) you can simply adjust the volume from each alarm individually by just pressing on it/long pressing and tapping edit

My OnePlus 7 Pro (GM-1917) is running OOS 10.3.8. My device is rooted via Magisk 23.0.
When I set the Ringer Volume to 0 (zero), the phone still makes a ringing sound when a call comes in. It's low volume, but I want it to be zero volume ... i.e., totally silent. And I want to control this programmatically, and not with any kinds of button presses or keystrokes. In other words, I want to do it with some sort of internal shell command, or possibly with Tasker or Termux or something like that.
This is not the same as "Do Not Disturb". I still want notifications to make a sound, and I still want other sounds to be audible. This only pertains to the Ringer Volume and no other sounds.
And I don't want the Ringer Volume to be permanently silent. I want to be able to turn the Ringer on and off under certain conditions, and when it is off, I want it to be totally and completely silent.
Is there any way to programmatically switch my Ringer Volume between silent and audible on my device and OS?
Thank you very much in advance.

A silent MP3? I have used such a ringtone in the past but haven't switched programatically.

Well, actually why you need that programmatically when you have many apps to do that even you can set the time durations for silent and loud.
But just a question I am feeling crazy to know....why you don't want that profile slider on the side. DND-Silent-Ringing...that already comes with 3 mods and you can customize it...

Aha! That's the solution! Thank you. I can programmatically switch that with Tasker.

Thank you.
I'm controlling this with Tasker, based upon various conditions that Tasker can detect: where I'm located, the time of day, etc. So, I want to be able to handle this without any human interaction.
