Keys/buttons to silent while on a meeting? - Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers

Hello!
My s10e has Android 9.
My phone was turned OFF before the meeting. But it is a 2-hour one, so I want to check my messages. But when I do Power On, then message(s) notification sound would be heard :-(
No time to swipe down and click on a speaker icon - are there any BUTTONS combination? I've read that Android 9 has a short-cut:
simultaneously press volume-up and power button to silence both ringer and notification, but for some reason it does not work on my s10e.
Any other buttons-based solution? Can it be done before I swipe to see my home screen?

Don't know any kind of key combination, but instead of turning it off prior the meeting, use DND or mute to avoid this kind of situation.

Vibration Problem on Samsung Galaxy S

Hey, I got my samsung galaxy s yesterday and I have a problem..When I have silence mode on with vibration it doesn't vibrate when i recieve a new sms and that really bugs me..any solutions? I've tried sound manager and it doesn't work.
Please Help Me!

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.

How to set silence mode

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:

mute mode with Android 5.0

Hello,
I just passed to Android 5.0 yesterday and no way to go to mute mode.
Before, when I press down volume, after i had vibrator mode and one press down again and mute mode.
Now, if I'm on vibrator mode and press down volume, no mute anymore .
Thanks.
It's a known issue, (or maybe bug)?
It seems the only way to get into mute mode is by turning volume down to vibrate, then tap volume up one time and... Reboot. After reboot you're in mute mode.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Mute is required!!!
Just press volume up/down and tap "PRIORITY". By default it will be the same as "mute" mode.
In 5.0 the "mute" just became customizable

Except you'll still get notifications in "priority" mode and make noise. I had everything unchecked and some Facebook notification came thru when I was sleeping the other night. If there is some way to disable all notifications (but keeping the alarm) short of killing the internet connection I don't know.
This sucks in Android L. Hope some skilled dev can do something about it.
Or maybe Google will fix it if enough ppl complains: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79445

Tap a volume button and click "NONE". That will turn off ALL notifications, either indefinitely, or for the period you specify (defaults to 1 hour, but you can increase it by tapping)
[Edit] Oh wait, I just saw that you said "but keeping the alarm". Oh well...
No way there is no soulution for this problem dudez!

Refuse call + turn off screen & stop vibrate (if key pressed)

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.

Un-desirable ring tone

Hi,
When you switch on the phone , you have a ringtone I would like to disable, is this possible ?
I didn't manage to find anything in the parameters.
Thanks
There isn't an option like Motorola or other OEM, but if you turn off your phone in "silent mode", when you turn it on again there will be no sound.

OK , I just tried..... and it works.
I wish I had a sound symbol to press on and off like wifi, torch light etc.... may be with an update later on who knows.
Anyway thanks a lot for the tip, I appreciate very much.
When you press a button of the volume rocker appears on the screen the slider to adjust the volume, right? If you press on the ring bell next to the slider the device goes in "silent mode" without changing the volume and in place of the ring bell appears the vibration symbol. If you press on the vibration symbol, the ring bell appears again and the volume returns to your favorite setting. It is a quick setting that allows you to switch between ringtone and silent mode without changing the volume, but placed in the quick volume menu, rather than in the general quick settings.
As an alternative you have the DND (Do Not Disturb) mode that has its toggle in the quick settings.
Yes this noise annoys me too but I rarely turn my phone off unless there is a reboot due to updates.
