Maybe there is a way to do this, but I'm not aware - does anyone know of a way to enable alarm even when teh phoen is on vibrate or on silent? (this came to me because I set the phone to silent and forgot to turn I was late for work today)
enAlarmPPC
When you mean an application for alarms, then you should really take a look at enAlarmPPC. You can simply force a volume, and it will play sound even if in "vibrate" or "mute".
awesome... I think that's exactly what I need. Thanks
i use vibrate mode all the time, but don't like the fact that it silences your phone. But this is what i have found:
Instead of going into vibrate mode through comm manager or through a "profile" (like from the HTC Touch Today plugin), go to settings and then select Sounds and Notifications. Select Notification tab, and from the drop down menu select Phone: Incoming call and select vibrate. When you do this, your phone vibrate when there is an incoming call but is not silenced for other functions of the phone like alarms, music, etc.
Disadvantage is that it is not 1 simple step, so if you back and forth between ring and vibrate it is not ideal, but if you set it on vibrate all the time like me, it is ideal.

You could probably Mortscript it...
yea, the thing is I always change to vibrate when I'm at work/quiet areas and I'd liek to have a simple profile change button that changes it to a vibrate + ringer.

Give PhoneAlarm a try! Then you can create profiles.
I agree, PhonaAlarm solves it all!!

Phonealarm 1.54 is superb, but it's casuing me a very annoying problem, and I don't know why:
I like to have my phone set to "Vibrate" at all time. By that, I mean clicking the little speaker at the top of all WM5 devices and where you get the 2 sliders for volume of device and phone, at the bottom it has "On", "Vibrate" and "Off".
However since I installed Phonealarm my phone always reverts back to "On" - but I can't seem to work out why, there's no pattern to it - sometimes it just sits there on Vibrate, then next time I use the phone it's back to On. I can't seem to work out if things like going into the Phonealarm setup menu causes it, or clicking an alert in Phonealarm, or whatever - it just seems that after a while it'll revert to "On" without me asking it to, and it's only been happening since I installed Phonealarm.
Any ideas?
phoneAlarm 1.54
Its hard to say with this programme. The developer has built so much into this excellent app for so may devices, there always seems to be one problem or another. I would post a question in the support forum (www.pocketmax.net). Bruce (the developer) is pretty responsive. He may ask you to send a log ad he will try and fix in next version. I am waiting for 1.55, due out on the next few days

I believe you need to put the option to vibrate in all profiles. For exampe in the settings screen, if you go to a particular profile then click on sms notification you need to tick the vibrate option. To get it working on the ring tone as well set the ring option in profiles to "Vibrate and Ring". Remember to do this for all alerts for all profiles!

I would like to use "silence" mode at night, but still have my alarmclock enabled, how would one do this?
If i put the tytn to silent it also silence the alarm, and if I have some sounds I will get the phone signal at night which I don't want to.
This functionallity exists on EVERY other "normal" phone (nokia, ericsson and so on) but not here? why?
I use pocketx photo contacts program, you can set incoming alerts using the call filter feature to silent, but keeps the system volume on.
Try using Pocket Wakeup. It has a volumn control function which, if you set your phone to silent, it will over write it to make it loud. I'm not sure about vibrate, but I'm pretty sure if you were to set the volumn to minimum, the pocket wakeup can push it to whatever you set.
I use a freeware program called Mortplayer which is primarily an audio player but has a great alarm clock function built in too.
You can set the alarm to either play a playlist or a particular file, you can set increasing alarm and you can set the volume to override the system volume too so it doesn't matter if your phone is on silent (although it will leave the volume high after the alarm has increased it). It has a snooze function (set at any interval you want, 5mins, 10mins etc...) too with a very usable skin for switching the alarm off or on to snooze (ie. large screen buttons which you can tap with your fingers in a semi-conscious state)
Really great little program which I have been using for months with no problem and best of all, it is free
Great!! That seems to do it !

One potential way to do this is:
Change just the right slider on volume to lowest at night. keep the other one on high.
Then go to sounds and notifications and disable text and email notification sounds.
Try using Call Filter Alarm. I think you will love the sleep mode...
I always have my phone on vibrate and when I get a text it only vibrates three short pulses. If I am walking around I don't always feel that. Can I change or setup something to get the pulses a little longer or something?

Thanks, you just reminded me that I needed to set that up on my phone. Here's what I did:
Went to Notes and then selected the Recording option. In a silent place, record 30 seconds of silence. Then save this file. Tap and hold it until you see a dialog tab open that includes, Set as Ringtone.
Go to Settings, Personal, Phone. Select Vibrate and Ring. Your phone should now continously vibrate while the recording plays.
Now, I gotta personalize it with the USC Fight Song. . .
But if I do this it doesn't have a ringtone while I have the ringer set to normal and not vibrate.

So, there is no other way to do this? This doesn't seem to do what I want. something in the registry?
I don't know if i am missing something or what. In eclair you have vibrate as its own seperate level ( Silent -> Vibrate -> Volume 1 ->Volume 2 -> ect...). On froyo I have not been able to make vibrate its own seperate level, its either Vibrate only in silent mode, Vibrate only when not in silent mode, always, or never. Am i over-looking something?

Wouldn't Vibrate in silent mode be the same as vibrate? It will only vibrate because its...silent.
Nope, vibrant isn't the same as silent.. At my company, even a vibrating phone during meetings is a no no....

Simple Sound Profile Widget
I don't know if this will help you but go into the Market and download a free app/widget called Simple Sound Profile Widget. This is a great app that i use. You can place a widget on home screen and switch between profiles with a click and easily create new profiles. To give you an idea of how i have mine set up:
1) Loud - All sounds are set to the highest with vibrate on
2) Normal - All sounds are set to half with vibrate on
3) Silent - All sounds are off and vibrate is on
4) None - No alerts of any kind
I don't know if you looking to just switch between audio alerts and vibrate alerts easily this is the quickest and best way that i have found. You can rename the profiles to what you want them to be. This will also place a link in your notification bar so you can at a glance know what profile you are on and even change profiles without going to your home screen.
Hi there!
I know there are a few threads about it, BUT I thought as no one obviously knows about the workaround for putting the Nexus 6 in silent mode without the need of an app, I decided to make a seperate thread. It's working on Stock ROM, you don't have to be rooted.
This is how it works:
- Put the phone all the way down to vibrate with the volume down key
- Then tap once on the volume up key so you are on - lets call it "volume step one"
- Now reboot your phone
Congrats, silent mode is back! Unfortunately, you have to do it all over again, if you change the volume once...

Wait, am I missing something here?
Why not hit the volume button then select "none" from the options of "none, priority, all"?
Enters silent mode pretty easily for me!

I think what people liked about silent mode was it allowed Alarms through. "None" means no sounds or alarms. Priority mode with just Alarms set as priority isn't a workaround because some Apps can still emit sounds. The main problem with this new notification system aside from the fact that it eliminated a couple of real world use case scenarios is it is just flat out not intuitive.

I use Tasker, set media and ringtone to 0 alarms stay at 4, start at 7:00 workdays, end at 4:30 (silent mode except alarms) then volumes return to normal. Works like a charm, this way I don't have to remember to change the volumes when I get to work, or turn them up when I go home....

I use Tasker a lot too, and for many things. And I can't remember now, but what about vibration? I mean in "real" silent mode, vibration is off. If you only set media and ringtone to 0, does your phone still vibrate? I mean in Lollipop you can't even turn vibration off, right?
So my phone is on silent without vibration, so that only my G Watch R vibrates on calls and notifications, with alarms going off on the phone as usual...
"None" is no silent mode for me...

That's correct, there currently is no silent, I did read that they were doing something with the sound settings in 5.1 but not exactly sure what that will look like. I am pretty sure you could get silent back some how if you were to root the phone but I am not ready to go there yet. Other than using a little battery I don't mind the vibration, as is I can get 2 days on a charge without too much effort.

Specifically for apps, you have to flag them as priority for their notifications to go through. Otherwise, in Sounds & Notifications settings you can specify "Priority Interruptions" which you can select system Events and reminders (alarms), Calls and Messages you want to go through.
I use it for meetings and class... so far it has yet to allow a notification that I haven't set to priority.

Still they all vibrate, right?
If your turn on priority mode, no apps will push notifications to you, unless you prioritize them.
None disabled everything.

Nope, no notifications even vibrate lol. Priority mode means, no notifications will wake the device or vibrate unless you prioritize them.

What the other poster probably meant is that apps can bypass Priority mode. This has been thoroughly documented, and according to Google it's "working as intended". Some apps have already fixed it, like Whatsapp, and very recently, FB messenger, but other big ones like Viber and Skype are yet to do it. It's a big nuisance that one has to depend on app developers to conform in order for such an important OS function to work correctly.

You can get the app Nights Keeper, it will do the old silent mode and more. The free version should be enough for simple silent mode, but the premium is only a couple bucks. The actionable notification and the widget are awesome. No root required.
