Anyone else have a problem where notifications keep reverting to using sounds ? I like to keep mine on vibrate so i go into Sound and turn notification volume all the way down (why they have no "silent" option for notifications, i dont know !!!). It will work for a little while and then i start hearing my notification sounds again so i look in settings, and notification sound is set back to 20% or so. Only way to fix it is to use silent mode, but that would affect phone calls as well which i dont want.

hey guys,
a few little annoyances that might be a quick fix: i'd like an option to specify whether or not the "Sound Off" slider on the lock screen goes to silent mode or vibrate mode. (one option turns off all sound, but turns on vibrate, the other option turns off sound and vibrate).
also, i think it's absurd that android's silent mode still allows media volume to come out of the speaker. i think silent mode should turn off the speaker, and only allow audio if headphones are plugged in, but i can see this being a much more involved and intricate change than the previous request. can anyone look into this?
I don't think this is going to happen.
i agree this is a very annoying "feature".. in every other phone silent mode means, vibrate when someone calls usually.
its very rare for me to want to disable notifcations of calls completly (i would rather just shutdown the phone?)
i never actually modded or even compiled android sources but i am a programmer by profession and it seems like a simple patch..
This really pisses me off that silent mode is actually won't ring but will bleep and wizz at every email and text. Silent should be silent.
So we have the new Silent mode which does not let Alarms through and does not blink the LED for Notifications.
We also have the new Do Not Disturb mode. Which is supposed to block unwanted notifications when on (Not working to well with third party apps many people are reporting).
There are some settings for it which are quite different then the old Blocking Mode in KK.
I'd like to discuss the old way you did things (In KK) and then discuss what the options are with the new way of doing things. (In LP).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My use scenarios (that worked in KK):
- Normal - Sound mode, Blocking mode off
Normal setting during the day. All notifications un-blocked and make noise, vibrate, led, etc.
- Working - Sound mode, Blocking mode on
Silenced all notifications and text messages, calls were allowed through. Led light worked so I could glance at my phone and know if I had a new text, email or whatever.
- Temporary quiet time - Silent mode
I would switch to Silent mode if I was out somewhere like a show or something and wanted silence. I could have turned my phone off in these times but Silent mode worked fine most of the time.
The only thing to watch for is if you had an Alarm set, it would still go off.
- Bed time - Silent mode
Everything quiet except my alarm that would wake me in the morning.
I'm very interested to hear how people use these settings and their workarounds with the new LP methods.
Hopefully we can figure out some methods. Even if they are third party apps that you've had to resort to. But ideally while working with what we have.
Do not disturb has a setting to allow alarms on my VZW S6
On silent mode my alarm still rings and my led still blinks

So are you using DND as your Bedtime setting?
If you have DND set to stop all but Alarms what do you do for those other temporary times that you may want different settings for DND?

Wow.. I just tried again and the Alarm did go off with Silent mode.
I swear I tested it all the first day and it wasn't going off. I'm on the newest update now though. I wonder if that was it.

I just put the phone on silent...
What I miss from ( KK) Blocking mode is that it actually rejected incoming calls. The (LP)Do Not Disturb just mutes the ringtone, therefore people calling think you just missed the call and keep trying. Not really a big deal for most but as my work phone it was handy to be able to toggle blocking mode and my employees knowing when they called if it right to voicemail that I was driving or in a meeting. Now they just keep calling lol.
All of the 3rd party apps I've tried do reject calls but generally after 1 or 2 rings, and some have issues with 3rd party apps. I wish we could just use the KK blocking mode again
Do not disturb sucks. When I turn it on it doesn't work like it supposed to be. I still get the notifications on screen
LG need to address the problem with quiet mode.
It seems it would be easy to have a sub menu in each mode, sound, vibrant and quiet
So you can decide what led notifications, vibration and sound you receive.
I have to turn sound off, turn vibrate off and turn off Led notifications and make sure it is set to priority, so the alarms works.
It should be easier than that!!
I agree with this. I use my phone as my alarm but I don't like to get woken up by text messages or phone calls when I'm trying to sleep so normally I put my phone on silent. But with this do not disturb setting it's a pain in the backside having to manually set priority alerts on. Surely they could just add another toggle setting to the button on the notification bar so it goes 'Sound/Vibrate/Priority/Do Not Disturb'.

I don't really know what you problem is... if you're in priority mode every single thing of your list get turned off automatically! Except for media volume. Just make sure you don't use "Do not disturb"-Mode if you still want to hear your alarm.
cheers
Yup. Set mine to priority every night and no led notifications, no vibrate, no nothing other than alarm in the morning.
Is there no way to totally silence the phone from notifications except for putting it into airplane mode ? At the moment all i can see is silence the ring tone.

Hit the volume button, select Priority mode. To edit the notifications that come through on priority more go to Sound and Notifications, Interruptions. It's probably already setup like you want though.

Xposed has a module for silent mode. Requires root though.
Im finding it easier just to put the phone in airplane mode.Dont want to root the phone either.
When i hit the volume key a slider comes up to silence ringtone, but too silence everything you have to tap the arrow and silence notifications too,but still get vibrate.Must be an App going about to silence it.

You want to silence just the call volume but leave notification volumes alone?

If you put the phone on priority, nothing will vibrate except what you set up to come through. I use priority at night, and have my texts and everything on silent, but my phone calls on volume so I will get woken up at night if it's an important call from family.
If you want completely silent for every app guaranteed, put the phone on "None". Everything will be silent.
can just do voice command "(your wakeup phrase) good night."
automatically puts it into DND mode, and then when you wanna take it off, just voice "(wakeup phrase) good morning"
bam, all hands free. gotta love it lol
So let me get this straight because its driving me nuts. As of now when I am in priority mode I get no vibrations even from starred contacts. I will get sounds from them but no vibrations. Soon as I cut priority mode off all vibrations return. Is this true for everyone else?
Ok so i generally turn off vibrations when it comes to my phone ringing / getting notifications! If my phone is going to alert me using sound then i don't need it to vibrate so i go ahead and turn it off! If however iam not wanting to be disturbed then i usually toggle "vibrate mode" which essentially makes the phone silent but will vibrate .......... or at least thats how it has worked on every phone i have ever owned ....... until now?
It seems that once i turn off vibrate in within sound mode then even if i toggle 'vibrate' .... there is no vibration!
Hope im explaining myself properly and you guys get what i mean! Any ideas? I basically just want my phone to NOT vibrate in normal use but to vibrate in silent mode?
Anyone? Its bugging me that i cant adjust the individual sound modes! I do not want my 'normal' sound mode to use vibrate so i turn vibrate off but this also turns it off for vibrate mode so when i enable vibrate mode its basically silent with no vibrate! Anyway to get vibrate mode to actually vibrate without vibrate being enabled for normal mode aswell
I guess nobody knows ? lol
