I'm finding standard stuff is not present on this phone (as much as i love it)
Is it not possible to create my own profile? The only options are silent vibrate and normal, i can't even tweak silent or vibrate to actualy do something else.
I would like a profile from when i'm at work, much the same as my normal settings just a lot lower
Does anyone know of an app for Windows Phone 7 or the Samsung Focus that will control the sound profiles like you can on Android? I want something that will give me the ability to control the ringer, Alarm, system sound, Music, and such separately. Or is there a way of doing this with standard WP7 that I just can't find. it's annoying that when I turn down the sound for the keyboard clicking too loudly, that I can't hear the ringer.
I'd also like this to have various settings that you can preconfigure for say normal, night, vibrate only, or silent other than say the alarm and ringer (for night use).
Any ideas?

I'm afraid this isn't possible with the SDK that third party developers have access to....
I don't have my own phone yet so I can't comment on if the option is already built in, but I do know that its not in the SDK.
Hi there!
I know there are a few threads about it, BUT I thought as no one obviously knows about the workaround for putting the Nexus 6 in silent mode without the need of an app, I decided to make a seperate thread. It's working on Stock ROM, you don't have to be rooted.
This is how it works:
- Put the phone all the way down to vibrate with the volume down key
- Then tap once on the volume up key so you are on - lets call it "volume step one"
- Now reboot your phone
Congrats, silent mode is back! Unfortunately, you have to do it all over again, if you change the volume once...
Regards

Wait, am I missing something here?
Why not hit the volume button then select "none" from the options of "none, priority, all"?
Enters silent mode pretty easily for me!

I think what people liked about silent mode was it allowed Alarms through. "None" means no sounds or alarms. Priority mode with just Alarms set as priority isn't a workaround because some Apps can still emit sounds. The main problem with this new notification system aside from the fact that it eliminated a couple of real world use case scenarios is it is just flat out not intuitive.

I use Tasker, set media and ringtone to 0 alarms stay at 4, start at 7:00 workdays, end at 4:30 (silent mode except alarms) then volumes return to normal. Works like a charm, this way I don't have to remember to change the volumes when I get to work, or turn them up when I go home....

I use Tasker a lot too, and for many things. And I can't remember now, but what about vibration? I mean in "real" silent mode, vibration is off. If you only set media and ringtone to 0, does your phone still vibrate? I mean in Lollipop you can't even turn vibration off, right?
So my phone is on silent without vibration, so that only my G Watch R vibrates on calls and notifications, with alarms going off on the phone as usual...
"None" is no silent mode for me...

That's correct, there currently is no silent, I did read that they were doing something with the sound settings in 5.1 but not exactly sure what that will look like. I am pretty sure you could get silent back some how if you were to root the phone but I am not ready to go there yet. Other than using a little battery I don't mind the vibration, as is I can get 2 days on a charge without too much effort.

Specifically for apps, you have to flag them as priority for their notifications to go through. Otherwise, in Sounds & Notifications settings you can specify "Priority Interruptions" which you can select system Events and reminders (alarms), Calls and Messages you want to go through.
I use it for meetings and class... so far it has yet to allow a notification that I haven't set to priority.

Still they all vibrate, right?
If your turn on priority mode, no apps will push notifications to you, unless you prioritize them.
None disabled everything.

Nope, no notifications even vibrate lol. Priority mode means, no notifications will wake the device or vibrate unless you prioritize them.

What the other poster probably meant is that apps can bypass Priority mode. This has been thoroughly documented, and according to Google it's "working as intended". Some apps have already fixed it, like Whatsapp, and very recently, FB messenger, but other big ones like Viber and Skype are yet to do it. It's a big nuisance that one has to depend on app developers to conform in order for such an important OS function to work correctly.

You can get the app Nights Keeper, it will do the old silent mode and more. The free version should be enough for simple silent mode, but the premium is only a couple bucks. The actionable notification and the widget are awesome. No root required.
Does anyone know if there's any way around the silent mode thing using Tasker? I know it's linked to the slider but I want to automate it.
I have a profile in Tasker that is supposed to set the phone to silent mode when I have a meeting scheduled. It works fine, has always done, until I got the OnePlus.
What happens is that when my "In a meeting"-profile in Tasker triggers (and my phones hardware trigger is set to Ring), Tasker tries to set the volume to 0 but since the Ring mode prevents it the volume only goes down to 1 (out of 7 steps).
I'm on OOS and rooted with Magisk.
UPDATE:
So Elsydeon tipped me of an app called "Sound Profile +volume schedule" which actually managed to change the volume to 0 in my phone when I applied the apps "silent" profile!
One step closer!
I still have to make this happen in Tasker though...
I however am not that clever at Tasker (yet) that I can figure out what this app called on to make this happen.
But I'm hoping that some of you smart guys and girls here might know.
I do not think it is possible, but it would be useful.
Bye
I'd recommend an app called Sound Profile. The UI is rather amateurish, but the customization options for setting up ringing profiles is very deep, and you can schedule as well.
Have you tried "Automate it" - look in the play store for it. Seems to be very flexible.
This actually works!!! Somehow it hooks into the right command and makes the phone go to volume 0 while the switch is in the Ring position!
I need to find what it hooks into and add that to my Tasker automation.
Is there a way to customize the alert slider on the 6T? I know that there was a Xposed module that allowed for it but nothing in Magisk or the likes. Wasn't sure if someone knew of a way to or if we could manually do it directly from the phone.
I'd like to change vibrate to DND as I use that more then vibrate.
You can try with Tasker, create event Custom settings; Global; three_Key_mode to detect slider position and task to set dnd.
three_Key_mode:
1 - silent
2 - vibration
3 - ring

Hmm....that is an option. I'll have to look at that tonight. Will keep people posted. Thank you.
Other options are welcome as well.
That works for adding additional alert slider behavior, but the built in OOS behavior applies too, and I can't find a way to disable it, even with root.
For example, I want the center position on the slider to be DND in priority only mode, with ringer on. Tasker does the former, but the OS still forces the ringer on vibrate in that switch position.
I know this is an old thread, but hope someone has the answer?
EDIT: I see hardware keys maps in /system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl, but not for the slider
