So I just switched over from an iPhone and one thing thats been bugging me was that whenever I enabled silent mode if I accidentally hit the volume rocker it would get knocked out of silent mode. On the iPhone when silent mode is enabled hitting the volume rocker would still keep it on silent mode. Is there a setting or something that I am overlooking?

The quick press-volume-down-until-quiet isn't permanent, and I'm glad that isn't. If you don't want to accidentally bump it up a notch or two, use the sound/vibrate/mute toggle in the notification bar instead.

Been looking through my Nexus for some options on this. I would like to have it switch between Vibrate and Loud instead of Silent or Loud. I for one have no use for silent mode. Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing? Couldn't find anything on this. Thanks!
There sorta is.
Prese and release the power button to bring up the lock inscreen, then if you hold down volume down + top power buttom for a second or two, it'll go to silent mode. The volume rocker is then active until the screen shuts off. So for those five secs you can adjust the ringer volume. Tape volume up once and it'll take you to vibrate mode.
Same thing to bring back to loudest ringer. Hit the power button to bring up the lock screen then holdVolume up + power for a second or two and it'll go up to highest ringer volume.
Alternatively, just hold down the power buttong to bring up the "Airplane/Silent/Shut down" menu. From there you can hit volume up/down to adjust your ringer. Vibrate is one click up from silent.
Ah. Well that's a shortcut i didnt know. Not exactly what I was hoping for but thanks for the tip!
I hope that this gets changed in an update. I'd like to have the option to switch the phone to vibrate. Kind of like the hardware switch on the Moto Cliq.
Check out the apps from kaa on the market. They work for me to lock the volume keys to my liking.
People just wondering if theres a way to adjust the volume settings from the lockscreen or a way to make the phone silent or loud just from thr lockscreen like on an iphone with the button on the side.
As i found this to be very easy to switch between loud and silent modes before going into meetings etc...
Cheers
Simply pull down the notification center and click twice on the volume toggle

Been using iPhone for several years and now in my Nexus 4 I miss hardware button to switch silent mode. It is very convenient to turn off sound without getting the phone out of the pocket.
Maybe there is some way to hack android to somehow toggle silent mode using some combination of pressing volume/power buttons?
Hello there, I am using CyanogenMod on mu G2 d802, i set my device to wake on any key press. Volume rockers or piwerbutton. I usually keep my phone on vibrate, but i find my phone many times on silet ( set accidentaly ). Is there any way to modify the volume rocker - , not to get past the vibrate mode because if you pres - when set on vibrate is goes in silent mode..
Really? Nobody?

Hi,
I've had a similar problem and used/use Tasker to prevent it.
Variable = %SILENT = ON --> Silent Mode = Vibrate
I even add a vibrate action for effect but that's up to you.
So, as we all now, Samsung has brought back the silence mode with the update BOC 3/BOC 5.
But the problem is, the only way that we can select the silence mode is through the Notification Panel or on Settings. We can't press and hold the volume - button to get the silence mode (like kitkat), we'll stop at vibration mode. :crying:
So, i was wondering if someone could fix this problem ?
it's possible to have back the silence mode through the volume button or no ?
Thanks so much !

As long as I remember, in kitkat also volume button was stopping at vibration.
