Hi all, i've bought this amazing device coming from an s9+, so i miss the toggle to get vibration and silent mode.
With my case (unicorn beetle pro) i cannot access easily to the slider, And i was looking for something that can bypass this limitation.
I've found this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.quicktiles.
This add a quick toggle to change the ringer profile.

Is there any software that will allow me to toggle vibration on/off for ringtones and notifications (preferably from the system tray)?
I want to keep the sounds switched on, but just turn the vibration off as when my I-Mate JAM is on a table, all you can hear is the vibration rather than the notification and ringtone sounds I've setup. Then when I put it in my pocket to go out, I want an easy way to turn on vibration again.
Is there anything out there?
I've tried some profile switching stuff, but they don't seem to work with my JAM as it tends to turn off vibrate mode for calls completely (for some reason).
Thanks in advance.
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.
I hate this design. to make the slider works, the system do not allow change to vibration mode through minmize the sound level to 0. I usually use tasker to automatically control my phone in sound or vibration mode depend on the calendar or the location. while use 5T, I often forgot to slide to one mode or move it back.
Yes it's still there IMO.

Hi guys. I'm using the device for quite a while now (global, DE vodafone), and I am surprised there is no silent mode toggle. I can switch between vibration and sound, and also I can switch the DND, but I cannot and I do not see the way to turn on the silent mode. Anybody has a tip?
Yes you have to go into settings and unselect vibrate for silent
Afterwards you can push power and louder together to enable vibra temporarily. To switch back silent you just tip once louder and again silently.

For years I've used an app called Sound Profile Pro which allows me to set up however many sound profiles I want. It allows me to control volumes, DND, vibration, ringtones etc. It even can change Bluetooth and wi-fi status, screen brightness and more.
It lets me put a 1x1 widget on my home screen which, when pressed, gives me instant access to all the profiles I've defined. And, helpfully, it'll change the widget's appearance to always show whatever icon I've associated with the last chosen profile.
There is a free app, but the widget needs the pro version. Both are available in the Play store.

That make sense, however I wanted to avoid installing extra app for such an essential thing

Hi found this thread whilst trying to resolve this issue myself. Ended up contacting oppo on their live chat and you can edit your toggle menu by clicking on the button which looks like write/edit to the left of the settings button on the toggle menu.
Hi everyone,
I'm finding that the standard alert slider behaviour (ring / vibrate / silent) is not useful, as it's hard for me to go into Do Not Disturb mode. In the old OnePlus models this was standard, but now it's not available. I can't quite understand that, as DND is objectively better than Silent since it can do everything Silent can do plus more configurability. Anyways...
Is there any way to mod this behaviour back into the phone? I.e. is there a custom ROM or otherwise that supports modifying the alert slider behaviour? Any other ways? I read about using Tasker to read the state of three_Key_mode but this doesn't seem to work for me.
Thanks in advance,
Douglas
OK, so with a bit of playing around in Tasker, I finally got this working.
The Custom Setting to look for is the "oplus_mode_ringer" which, when set to 0, indicates that you have the slider set to Silent.
Then in your task, you first need to set DND. Then you need to set mode_ringer to 2 and alert_slider_mode to 3 if you want to retain the ringing.
