Hey guys,
Following the update to android 5.0 Lollipop (by flashing it onto my device using the G900F Poland firmware), i quickly found out "silent mode" was replaced by a functionality called "priority mode".
After doing some research on it i decided to set it up since i need my silent mode. The thing is, i can't find it anywhere in my settings.
I tried using my volume buttons to see if i could change the mode, i tried the settings 'Sounds & Notifications' section but no luck on finding priority mode anywhere.
Does anybody know where to find this "hidden" mode? Because i'm lost at this point :silly:
Thanks in advance!
You can find it under toggle window,see for the option "all"...You can set it to priority for the alarms to get through and some of the contacts if you want...set it to none to completely silence your phone..

Oh well.. that was tucked away nicely.. Thanks for the help!
I made a new thread about this because i didn't find this one when looking for silent mode. And on my phone i looked for priority mode, but the toggle is just called "all" and the section in the sound¬ification settings is called "interruptions". Well one thing this interrupted was my night rest. And my mood. Anyway, thanks for the answer.

I've recently rooted my s4 on 4.3 and I've added in the code to display the shutter sound menu (not usually visible in my country). The issue is selecting "Off" doesn't actually do anything, or it doesn't accept "Off" as a valid selection. I'm aware of the other fix involving renaming or deleting the sound files and I've actually tried that a little earlier, but a toggle would be much cleaner.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Try using the silent mode option of the phone

Doesn't work, but I'd really like a solution to the toggle issue anyway. Even just hearing from someone who has enabled the menu and didn't have this problem would be great, to see what I did differently.
hey there,
am not sure if im in the right section here.
I didnt find a proper solution for hiding the airplane mode dialog yet, though found an app for the lg g2.
is there a similar app for the n3 to disable it?
ty in advance
[Q&A] Silent mode missing after 5.0 lollipop update on Galaxy S5? Now priority mode.
Edit: solution below (4th post). But be cerful for disabling your alarms.
<rant>
I have a Galaxy S5 SM-G900F. As a power user i need to factory reset my phone every half year to keep it running smooth. Since it was time for that anyway, i combined a fresh start with flashing the official polish 5.0 lollipop S5 rom (the updated one
PDA: G900FXXU1BNL7 ). It looks and works great. Ok, more blacks would work better with the amoled screen and it can easily take 2-3 seconds to open the task switcher, which is extra annoying if you have to also use it to jump to another browser tab. But i didn't find any major bugs and i generally love it. But one thing is driving me so crazy I'm considering going back to 4.x and staying there.
WHERE IS THE FRACKIN SILENT MODE?????
Sorry for the caps but that's kind of how i feel. Apparently it's not a bug but a feature. In vanilla, stock android on the nexus and moto g, you have to assign priority people or apps that can disturb you in priority mode. And then there's the "none" mode where your phone is completely silent. But those modes are not there in touchwiz. And people can't get their phones silent on other hardware too. Apparently Google will do a reintroduction of the feature in 5.1. But i don't know what that's worth. It will take ages for Samsung to incorporate and I'm starting to distrust google. With Google maps I'm still missing some features they cut out, such as measuring the direct distance between two points in the app. And they brought back writing to microsd cards with a special api, but i still can't edit word documents in any of the seven office apps I've tried (including several purchased ones).
</rant>
Anyway, I've tried everything i could think of to find silent mode:
* tap the vibrate/sound button in the quick toggles, it only switches between sound and vibrate, silent is gone
* long press power button: sound settings are removed from this menu
* go to settings - sounds and notifications: again there's only sound and vibrate mode. Silent mode is missing.
Please help me. The only workaround i found is to manually set all vibrates to really soft. But where is the silent mode? This is a feature that has been present in phones since before the wheel was invented. Did they really forget it? Or leave it out in purpose?
Silent mode is implemented in priority mode (stupid move by sammy)

Solution
Ok, found it. You mute your phone with priority mode, but that's rather hidden...
WARNING: your alarms will not go off of you set priority mode to none.
open the all toggles: swipe down from the top of your screen with two fingers (or swipe down once and tap the icon in the upper right with three squares and two arrows)
here you see a toggle called all. Set it to none for silent mode
tap the pen icon to edit the layout, long press the all/none toggle and drag it up to put it in your directly accessible toggles
you can go to the settings for priority mode by long pressing the toggle. You can also find it under sound¬ifications - interruptions (not called priority mode!!!)

This is not something implemented by Sammy, this is a Lollipop Google feature and sucks.
I had a widget for doing this and the App developer says that there is Nothing he can do
why they did this God Knows
what the heck is wrong with android developers nowadays? I hated this option.
At least silent mode will be back in 5.1
I am on EE and when I upgraded to Lollipop I lost this silient mode like everyone else did. My mate on Virgin also lost it but about a week later he received an update and he gained back this functionality.
There's now an XPOSED module for enabling native silent mode in lollipop

I'm very confused by this "priority mode" thing. I would really like it simple....I can put my phone on silent at night and have my alarm go off, and still receive ALL notifications while I'm sleeping, but they're silent. Then during the day while I'm at work, leave it on silent, but receive all notifications. I really really don't like that no matter what, silent mode mutes all notifications and alarms. It seems like I have to have it on vibrate in order to have the alarm work. I've googled this so many times and read so many articles, but it still doesn't make sense. Also I couldn't care less what order the notifications are.
who install and active XPOSED module in Rom 5 ?please help me....
Hi folks,
I was always a big fan of the silent mode / do not disturb option in TW (available until 4.4).
Now I'm on the new 5.0 leak - and I can't find this option anywhere anymore. Strange enough that there's only the standard vibrate mode left - but the "do not disturb" mode as well?!
Still didn't find it - I'll wait for the final release, hoping that they'll implement it again.
I think it's called "blocking mode" instead. It's been in TW for a while now
Hi guaneet! yes, that's absolutely correct - but can you find it within the current 5.0 leak?! Am I that blind?
Hi again! After several attempts under different mental conditions (*happy new year! *) I think that it's missing. Period.
Sad stuff .
Just for the record, Google removed Silent Mode from Android for 5.0. They added it back in 5.0.1.

Just to make that clear: silent mode and "do not disturb" mode (which are the same in some translations) are two different things, aren't they? I am especially interested in the second one...

I am aware of that. The two cases may, however, be related.

Hey all, just got my new S7E and found a bit of a problem, i installed my usual alarm clock app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ihandysoft.alarmclockpro&hl=en_GB but found the only way i can get into the settings on the app is to go via accessibility options, really don't want to have to have the little floating box around all the time and it's a bit of a hassle having to enable this just to be able to choose an alarm time, just wondering if anyone has any other suggestions other than change my alarm app, was hoping for something along the lines of an option or another app to add triple tap the screen to open in app settings or something?
Any help greatly appreciated as always.
