How can I configure the alert slider to 3 settings:
1. all sounds and rings and notifications (vibrate would be nice).
2. Vibrate on all alerts and rings. Media volume may or may not be muted.
3. Completely silent. No rings, no vibrating. No noise. Ideally media volume is muted.
I'm currently implementing this by using the "Silent" alert slider setting (all the way up) as vibrate, and "do not disturb" slider (middle) to be completely silent. I just wish the media volume was also muted.
Any suggestions on how to configure to get the above configurations (without root)? I feel the current config is a little obscure.
Thanks
I agree. It's possible on custom roms, and there have been mods in the past for stock, but I haven't seen anything yet for the 5 that allows you to reconfigure the alert slider in that manner.
I'm looking for solution too.
I'm also on lookout for those exact config. with that my OP5 would be truly perfect (and with IP68 rating but at least i have a "light splash" protection so it's better then nothing)

Hi,
I searched the forums and found few threads for this windows mobile issue but no solution or what so ever.
Issue is with Overall Volume settings and controls.
I was previously an IPhone owner and i just recently moved to this amazing phone, however i do miss my Iphone for its few simplicity and user friendly setting options.
When my iphone was use to be in idle situation (not silent) and i use the volume rockers it use to change the ringer lever but it didnt change the media playback volume or in call earpiece volume. And When i was in a call, using the volume rockers would make adjustments to just the earpiece volume without changing any other volume setting. And when playing media it will just change the volume level for the media. This is a very natural behavior as we all would expect from our device.
But with my HD2 it gets really confusing and annoying at the same time that i dont have indivisual level of volume setting for in call, ringtone, and media playback.
I understand that we have the option to seprate the system/ringer volume level but still it doesnt work at it should.
I want to keep my ringer type/level to be at vibrate most of the time and my system to be at full or wtv level based on my preference at that time. But i want my phone to vibrate for text messeges and emails or wtv alerts i turn on. Just like how it was with iphone, if my phone was on silent(and vibrate setting on) my ringer wudnt sound and neither wud my text msges wud sound but my phone wud vibrate on text messages when vibration was turned on.
But with this phone if my ringer is at 0% volumes and system is anything above 0% my text messages wud vibrate and sound. how ever my text message sound should be attached to the ringer volume level not the system level volume.
Scenarios:
1).
System/ringer level same == no.
ringer level = 0%
system level = 50%
sms notification = on
In this above scenario if i receive a call my phone shud only vibrate and not sound. if i receive a text message it shud only vibrate but not sound. and if i play media it shud be at 50% level and my call volume shud be at 50% aswel.
But right now if i get a phone call my phone wud not ring but it will vibrate.(which is good). If i get a text message it sounds and vibrate (not good). media is at 50% level (good) and my call level is good aswell.
i am looking for a solution that would give me 2 things. First thing is to allow me to choose if i want vibration at all or no. And secondly make my notification attached to ringer volume instead of system volume.
i am sure alot of ppl are looking for this solution and would agree that this phone lacks volume settings and options.
thanks

Volume controls
Same gripe here..
Unable to get unilateral volume control on this magnificent phone.
Sometimes, its as if the smarter the phone, the dumber the remedial tasks can be.
Its not the perfect fix, but this is what I have mine set for.
Under Audio and display settings:
PROFILE: is set for normal
VOLUME:
ringer volume at zero
system volume at 50%
RING AND NOTIFICATIONS:
Ring type: Vibrate only
Notification Sounds: OFF on all..
That way, sms and email only display the green light on ear bar, rather then the chimes..
and music volume is adjustable without triggering the volumes back on..
Hope that helps.
You can choose to set independent settings for system and ringer volume control or set them up to be the same with the vol rocker keys. It is available in the settings.
It's weird. I'm not talking about DND. Seems as though every time I put ringer on vibrate it reverts back to sound after a while. Same with the media volume. I don't get it?!?!?
Anyone seen experience same?

you sure you're putting RINGER on vibrate and not NOTIFICATIONS? they changed the volume controls in 5.x to make it "more difficult" to actually put your ringer on vibrate.
this has happened to me too. haven't figure it out yet, though. I'll put it in vibrate and a few minutes later will hear a text msg notification. Really inconvenient while in class and meetings. Ringer and notifications are linked in volume. if you go to sound and notifications settings it only shows media, alarm, and ring volumes.
Hi all,
is it possible, with the current OOS or an additional app, to achieve the following:
I want "do not disturb" to work like this:
- starred contact calls: phone vibrates
- non starred contact or unknown caller calls: phone stays silent.
so far, I cannot reduce the ringtone volume to zero. Furthermore, I sometimes need a loud ringtone, so choosing a silent ringtone will not solve my problem. Additionally, I sometimes need a full silent mode.
I found a workaround for this problem with dnd mode which had worked on oneplus 3, but stopped to work with some version of OOS. Can you help me?
+1 to this. I would like to Silent be silent, do not disturb to vibrate only and the third option lets there be sound.
Hey guys,
is there no way to customize the sound profiles?
I can't let the phone just vibrate instead of muting it or turning sound on with any of the three profiles.
One profiles totally mutes the phone and doesn't allow to turn sounds on. The other two don't allow to mute the phone or set it on vibration.
One of the three profiles even only let's me toggle if the phone should vibrate for incoming calls. Nothing else!
I used to use Tasker to control ringer volume depending on certain scenarios (eg. when my smartwatch is connected I want to have the watch on vibration only and when I leave it at home, I want ringer on). I cannot do that with 6T because of that annoying hardware ringer slider. If the slider is on silent, the volume cannot change using software. Also when the ringer is on, the volume cannot change to 0 using software.
What's the minimum intervention I need to do to have that? I already rooted my device. Is there a simple hack that will allow this or do I need a different ROM? Do you know any ROM that supports it?
Anyone?
I found the solution myself after all. It works if I configure Tasker to change "Sound Mode" to Off or Vibrate, together with changing the "Ringer Volume". On my Samsung Edge S7 changing the "Ringer Volume" was enough. On Oneplus stock ROM it seems that Ringer cannot be set to 0 unless "Sound Mode" is Off and it cannot be set to anything above 0 unless "Sound Mode" is not Off.
So nothing to do with the ringer slider position after all.
And there is "Do Not Disturb". "Priority" will enable DND and "All" will disable DND. I use "Sound Mode/Vibrate" to set my phone to vibrate when connecting to my car to silence notifications not interuppting any music.
