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.

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.
After upgrading to 5.0.1 (Magma ROM) I am trying to put the phone on silent when I go to sleep but still want to wake up from the alarm.
In the quick toggles I can switch from sound to vibrate and vice-versa but there's no option for mute as I used to in KK.
I don't wan't to enable the Don't disturb mode with priority alerts since I don't want to be notified on events while I'm sleeping.
Any idea?
It doesn't matter if it's on silent or not, the alarm will ring.
Otherwise it would be useless.
On the old phones the alarm would ring even when the phone was turned off.

I9500 doesn't ring when it's off and it doesn't ring if it's on silent mode (without priority alerts)
I just realized that in priority alerts, even if untick all options, alarm will always ring.
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
Is there a way to setup my Moto360 to always give me my phone's notifications, even if the phone is on silent or do not disturb?
Looks like I found a way. I edited the sound profile for vibrate only to not vibrate at all. Now when I'm on vibrate mode the phone doesn't do anything, but the watch does notify me. What sucks is now I don't have a vibrate mode, though. There's also the "Mute connected phone" option, but without an easy toggle on-off button it's useless to me.
Still open to ideas.
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
