no vibrate when on silent

for some reason, my phone no longer vibrates when I get a call when on silent mode. it used to. I do have vibrate setting turned on. any ideas?
thanks!

I thought that was the reason for silent mode.. I don't remember my phone vibrating for anything when on silent...
Just checked, and it doesn't. ? Fluke perhaps?

not sure, but I think I might have found a solution. when long-pressing the power button, if i set it to "vibrate", it will vibrate on silent. from that point forward, I can keep those settings when setting it to silent by sliding the lock screen's silent switch.

The lock screen sound mode toggle will always be sound and the last non-sound mode your phone was in when it locked.
For example, put it in vibrate and lock it. The toggle will be sound and vibrate. Put it in silent and lock it. The toggle will be sound and silent.
I hope that helps.

I seen and tried what you where saying and but it still doesn't vibrate when I switch it to sound I get the pop up that says sound on but when I switch it to vibrate it says sound off and doesn't vibrate I've looked at every single setting and can't figure out why it's not working

So using the power option is a workaround.
But using AutomateIT or Tasker you are stuck as to forcing a vibration notification? Right?
Anyone?
Can we revert to JB??
I am on the latest KK.

Vibration notifications

For some reason I cant stop my notifications from vibrating when my phone is in vibrate mode. Its been a while but Im pretty sure in the past on my S7 I was able to have my notifications muted if my phone was in vibrate mode (except for texts and calls). I only want my phone to vibrate when I receive a call or a text if I am in vibrate mode. Otherwise I want all other notification sounds and vibration silent/muted/no vibrate when I have the phone in vibrate mode. This may have changed with a recent OTA update, currently on PE1. Am I missing something?
1) In settings/Sound and Vibration, Vibrate while ringing is checked and actually grayed out, I cannot unselect it. Which is fine because I want it to vibrate when ringing unless I mute the phone.
2) In Email notifications, notifications are on, but Vibrate is turned off and actually grayed out, I cannot turn it on. I have 3 email accounts setup through the built in Email app and all 3 are set to the same thing. Yet, it still vibrates when I get a notification.

I thought I had this figured out but apparently not. I ONLY want phone and texts to vibrate my phone when in vibrate mode. I want all other notifications muted. I have email vibration turned OFF but it still vibrates, along with most other notifications. Since I have 3 email accounts set up on my phone, this is quite annoying. What am I missing? Does vibrate mode make everything vibrate even if I have vibrate turned off on nearly all apps?

Try using do not disturb instead. You can customize it to allow phone and text messaging to go thru, and mutes everything else

Vibrate mode means vibrate. Why would you expect it not to vibrate when you use a setting called "Vibrate"?

Nexus 6P shows the vibrate symbol only, when turning volume all the way down

This is a very strange thing that happened to me today. I am not sure what I hit from the outside of my phone to put it into vibrate mode but I noticed the following afterwards:
When I turn the ring volume all the way down it vibrates and shows the vibrate symbol only. I could have sworn there are 2 modes here silent or vibrate. Why is it forcing vibrate? In my settings I have vibrate on call turned off.
I was playing around with the Do Not Disturb features, but not sure how this could affect something like this.
Any ideas? Can people please confirm that on their Nexus 6P when they turn the volume all the way down they don't see a vibrate symbol, but a silent symbol (the tune with the / through it). I want to make sure I am not losing my mind.
My phone is on Android version: 6.0.1

I get vibrate (square with lines on the outside symbol) and if I click volume down again I go to DND. Sounds like you changed a setting in DND options maybe

What you just described is exactly what I get I think. If I go down to the bottom I get the vibrate symbol, if I hit down again I get DND. Does this make sense? I guess DND is silent? I swear on my Nexus 6 there was a Tune with a / through it regardless of DND settings.

Sounds like how mine works, and I'm totally stock. DND is pretty much same as silent but with alarms and I think you can adjust other settings as well. Haven't messed with it much, but sounds like yours is working properly. Did you have MM on your N6? If not, I don't think Lollipop had DND

Can't remember what my Nexus 6 had, but I am pretty sure DND works slightly different in the latest version of Marshmallow. I like what they did with it though, a lot more flexibility. Thanks for confirming that I'm just going crazy and that my phone is functioning properly.

Phone Twice A Day Goes Into Vibrate Only Mode

Is Anyone other than myself phone goes into a vibrate only mode? Even when I turn the volume up the slides go right back to vibrate unless I do a reboot.

It must be an app or do not disturb mode

Check your do not disturb mode (pull down notifications, long hold the do not disturb function) see if you've got a schedule set. If you do disable it.

I've deleted the profile, now it seems to go into vibrate mode after taking a phone call

Do Not Disturb mode....does still disturb?!

I've put Do Not Disturb mode on when I'm driving, so that I don't get disturbed by notifications (e.gm whatsapp, Facebook, messages) popping up in bubbles at the top of the screen.
It's simply doesn't work - they still pop up! (albeit it doesn't vibrate).
I've selected the "hide visual notifications" option (see screenshot) but it doesn't work either way.
Anyone else have this issue? Any potential solutions?

Mine still give audible notifications in the night when it should be on do not disturb!

I have a much larger issue. My Galaxy S8+, I will turn on the setting to keep alarms on, one night it will work and the next night it won't so my alarm never goes off in the morning. Therefore I stopped using DND, turned all the setting to off even deleted the days it will operate to none and the setting STILL comes on every night at 1030. I go in to check my settings and they are all back on to the day before. Android is starting to get pretty poor with its updates.

if your display is on and in an app while in dnd calls will still come through if youre display is off they will not come through if youre display is on but not in an app the calls will not come through. No work around i can find as of now

This is so typically Samsung.. They finally fixed it, but only when the screen is off and when on the home screen

Ugh.. My Do Don't Disturb is dysfunctional.
If I'm listening to an audio book, watching Netflix or jamming to my tunes and someone calls what ever I'm listening to/watching pauses while the phone silently rings that's B.S. DND means exactly that DND. All calls should go straight to VM. when DND mode is on. Otherwise I can just turn the darn ringer off. DND is worthless.

For me works well. Only when the screen is off, like iPhone. Have you make the settings propperly? Because you can put if you want that calls don't show on screen.

A similar issue was fixed by hard-reset. Have you tried a factory reset? Factory reset stepMod Edit

Is there still no fix to this?
It seems like a pretty important malfunction and is super frustrating every night.
Anyone manage to get it working properly using Tasker?
On my S4, then S6 Edge I had a Tasker profile to turn on Do Not Disturb automatically when I plug my phone in to charge at night, and it worked a treat.
Not with the S8, no matter what I try, it still vibrates and activates the LED notification, even though it is showing as Do Not Disturb mode on, and in the settings I have ticked all the options to hide notifications when the screen is on, and off, and set no exceptions, or alarms only with the same result.
Any ideas?
