hello all
i updated my s5 today to lollipop over kies. then rooted it. now i have a problem or maybe a missunderstanding. looking for the good old silent mode i read its gone and that it has been replaced by those soundprofiles. so far so good, or not really.
as i understood form reading some articles the volume button should summon a menu where i can choose between those 3 different sound profiles, but all i get pushing the volume button is a simple slider. see the screenshot pic attached.
is this normal?

HI well, I just got a streak, so I thought I should join up here...
This is my first Android, so I'm a noob.
Is there any way to disable the badly placed volume hardware buttons on the streak? without installing custom Roms etc. I'm too new to start doing stuff like that (give me 2 weeks or so!)
They're pretty annoying and I naturally press them when holding the phone.
The beep they make is not so good either.
Anyways, if anyone else has found a solution I would appreciate it.
Tog.
There are apps on the Market that say they can do that. Here's a couple I found:
Volume Locker
RingGuard
A search for volume locker will find more.
Hi!
Recently upgraded from a Galaxy S3 to the Note 4. Loving it. I've searched on the Internet but have yet to find an answer but - - on my Galaxy s3 I was able to turn the volume all the way down and it would show vibration, if I went down one more notched, it silenced it completely. I used this quite often for work, movies, etc. Now it appears when I volume down, all I can get it vibration mode. I'm still on 4.4.4, not Lollipop (which I've seen has its own set of silent mode issues. Please advise, or point out a newb mistake of mine! Thanks in advance!
Didn't notice that before .... Because i always use vibration mode. Use power button and than mute.
Maybe use silent mode? If you are lucky enough to still have it (5.0 is the first version that doesn't have it I think). You can also silence the vibrations in settings (but that will get rid of all vibrations).
Use the toggle on the top of the notification shade when you drag it down to select mute.
Hi all,
I just upgraded my m8 to ARHD 53.1 and it’s my first try of Android 6.0. Works really great, but I get very confused from silence vs do not disturb and why it’s so convoluted.
I think there’s a large consensus that they just can’t seem to get that feature right. I’m not against change, but it seems that the simplest scenarios got messed up:
1) I have the sound mode and DND buttons in my quick settings.
2) I’m actually only interested in two modes and that’s it: a) normal - all notifications b) silence with exceptions (certain contacts that can wake me up and alarm. All silence other than that). I think that it shouldn’t be too much to ask for.
3) If I set DND to priority, it changes the mode to silent and everything’s cool, I get mode (b). I can get back to mode (a) by pressing the sound mode or DND button - works. I can also toggle DND again to get back to (a). BUT, if I press the sound mode button by mistake and go to silence that way, it turns on DND with ON instead of priority and it will never get back to priority unless I go into settings on change it back!! Why?? And why link those two features together in the first place.. I see no reason to not have the option for vibrate sound mode with DND on (for the exceptions).
I’m pretty sure that this is just the way it is, and there’s nothing that can be done in the settings, but if anyone knows of an xposed module that unlinks DND from sound mode or something like that, that will be awesome…
Thanks!
Hey guys! I know I'm late to the party, but I just got a used S8 and love it so far! One of my only gripes is that I can't seem to find a way to switch it to completely silent with the volume rocker alone. On my previous phones it was easy: Keep Volume Down pressed and it goes to vibrate only, and press one more time to go switch off vibration as well. Easy peasy.
For some reason my Samsung doesn't let me to that. I know there are sound modes and do not disturb in the quick settings, and I'm sure you can hack something together with tasker, but as comfortable and practical Samsung's UI is nowadays, I'm just wondering why they didn't include this little handy feature from the start?
Do you have an idea how I can get this feature on my S8 as well?
I have the Exynos version, if that may help, and I'm on the latest Software available. I don't know what One UI holds in the cards regarding this topic. I hope it will be sorted out by then, but I haven't got the update notification yet.
Thanks in advance! Have a good day XDA!

I have a Moto G6 Plus Dual Sim and would like to know if I can adjust the Call/Notification Volume on my phone with the button on the side of the phone.In the information supplied this button is set by Default to Media and what I want to do is change the Media for the Call/Notification Volume so I don't have to go into the settings and adjust the sliders.This is a pain every time I wish to alter the Volume of my Notifications as on my old Moto G5 I was able to control the Volume from the side button.Any help would be gratefully received.Many thanks Sethnettles.
Yes, the pie update has changed the volume button function. There is a sound on/off/vibrate button on top when using the volume rocker but that's it... I haven't found a way to change it. I really cannot understand why such basic functionality that has "always" been available in Android has been taken out!

Good Morning, Many thanks for your reply and now I have got this sorted can you help me with another problem??I used to receive an Audible and Vibration alert for both my Call/Notifications eg:-E-Mail etc but now I only get an Audible Ringtone for both.I have been into settings and the Vibration is Turned ON I have also been into the Moto Help and Hardware Test and tested the Vibration which works fine is there any other settings or something else that I should turn on which I possibly have either mistakenly turned off or missed altogether???I have tried all the Icons when the Volume Button is pressed and I can turn OFF and ON both the Audible and Vibrate and both are OK as is the Call/Notification Volume so all I require is for Both Audible and Vibrate to work when I receive either a Call or E-Mail??Hope you can help,Regards,Sethnettles.
I believe that it has to be set for each application individually, in the settings menu of the application.

Good Morning and MANY THANKS for your prompt reply.I have now gone into Apps-Notifications-Advanced and found the area where I can turn the Vibrate on so I have done that and I'm pleased to advise you that I now have both working simultaneously.What caused the problem is that about 500 mtrs from my house there are 2 high rise blocks ready for demolition with a lot of Cellular Antenna's on top.As the Vodafone Network keeps saying NETWORK ANOMILIY I kept loosing the Network and after contacting Vodafone they said the system was OK and the problem was with my Apps.So I uninstalled and reinstalled my Apps that were playing up and I completely missed to turn on the Vibrate in Notifications but you have saved the day.As for Vodafone they have now admitted that there is an ongoing intermittent fault on the network in my area (I suspect it's something to do with this demolition job as none of the Antenna have been removed as yet.) Once again MANY MANY THANKS for all your help.Best Wishes to All,Sethnettles.
