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?

I loved on 2.1 how I could just use the rocker to go from sound, to vibrate, to silent. Is there any way of enabling this on EB13? "vibrate only when not in silent" doesn't give the same effect, as the rocker goes straight from silent to low volume.

This is really annoying. Sometimes I need it to be silent, sometimes I want my phone to just vibrate. But it doesn't seem like that's possible with froyo..

I think one reason for removing it is because it is on the pull down menu now. Personally I like it better there.

Yeah but if you choose only vibrate on silent and then choose silent, it's not really silent is it? It still vibrates...
The reason why it matters to me is because I set my phone on a cradle while at work and I don't need the phone to vibrate because it's loud. I'd rather have it on silent.

If you go to sound settings then vibrate you can set it to "vibrate only when not in silent mode." There will be no vibrate only option, but you will have silent instead, without vibrate. Works through the rocker and notification bar

Right, but then the phone won't vibrate if I have it in my pocket. Stupid I know but it's useful for me...
That is a Android 2.2 feature, not a Samsung or Sprint thing. You can change it in the settings to either be silent and no vibrate or vibrate only. The only way around this is a widget like the previous post said.

Man I see your point now. I apologize I didn't actually test it. You can either have volume and vibrate our volume and silent. That does suck. Glad I don't use silent very often but that is a pain.

If you press volume up on the rocker to enable the ringer, it will vibrate. Unless you simply want vibrate only, and silent (no vib) only, then yes widget is the only option. What you want is not stupid, deleting that feature was stupid

No problem. I just find silent and vibrate separately as being useful. Whenever I'm in a meeting, I'd like my phone to vibrate when it's in my pocket so I know I got a message. But when I'm at my desk, it's annoying to have my phone vibrate whenever I get an email/text. For one, I have gmail open at my desk and 2, I just have the screen come on whenever I get a text so vibrate isn't really necessary.
Oh well, guess I'll explore using a widget. Thanks.
So I went back to stock NK2 yesterday to try the OTA 5.0 update for a little. I noticed silent mode is gone. You used to be able to silence everything EXCEPT your alarm but now it will silence even your alarm which is scary. I don't want to have to worry about remembering to make sure my phone volume is up in order for my alarm to go off. I googled this and found other people talking about it also. For now I am going to Odin back to NI2 but I was wondering if there was a workaround or fix for this because I want to try some 5.0 ROMs but not if this isn't resolved.
It's not gone. They changed it to Interruptions under Sounds & Notifications. You have to set up what to allow through when the phone is in the different sound modes.
There are three sound modes. Sound, silent (vibrate), and mute. Using the volume key all the way down is silent mode. My alarm works fine in silent mode. One more press on volume down puts the phone in mute. A pop up appears stating that the alarm will not work in mute. If you use the sound toggle to switch to silent then mute it does not give you this warning.

Yea I saw the new options and they are pretty pointless. I am going to have to avoid lollipop until they bring that feature back. From what I've been seeing online there is a lot of people complaining so I hope they will.
I just don't wanna have to worry which setting my phone is on for my alarm to work. I'm back on KitKat now and it's nice to never have to worry. My phone can be on full volume, vibrate or all the way silent and my alarm will always go off.

It is definitely a problem. Hopefully it gets addressed in a future update. Confusing part is that in the Interruptions menu it says alarms always are a priority, yet using the volume keys it states that alarms are silenced. Major oversight IMO.

Yea I'm sticking with KitKat until its fixed..honestly with touchwiz there isn't much of a difference or a point to go to 5.0
Some days o really miss my S3 and unlocked boot loader. So many more options with ROMs. Even my original droid x and galaxy s4 had more of a dev community

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.
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
