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.

I noticed something last night after setting my alarm for the first time. If my phone is set to vibrate or silent the alarm doesn't sound, even if I tick the box "sound alarms even when the device is set to silent or vibrate" in the cloks and alarms folder in "All settings"
I've found that this is becasue in the profiles silent and vibrate, the system volume is set to 0. The only way I can get my alarm to sound is if I turn the system volume up. However, if I increase the system volume up on either of these profiles (eg select vibrate, keep rinder on 0, and set system volume to 50% for example), after about 20 seconds it automatically swaps to the profile "Normal". the normal profile then has the settings I set for vibrate ie, ringer 0, system volume 50. If I select vibrate again it goes back to the default vibrate settings, ie ring 0, system 0. Why does it automatically go back to normal, and thus altering normal, and can you personalise each profile?
I want to be able to set a profile where the ringer is off so I'm not disturbed by phone calls in the night, but where the system volume is on so my alarm will wake me in the morning. I can set it to profile and adjust the ringer volume using the side volume controls, which is my solution for now, but I would like to be able to do it by selecting a profile.
Cheers
I’ve got exactly the same problem. Having Xperia X1 previously windows had a simple option to set off the alarm even when the phone is in the night mood, so I wasn’t bother by anything during the night and have my reports in the morning. Not anymore with my new HTC HD2. If anyone have a solution please share it with us.
There is another problem of mine. As previously Xperia X1 let me show the time across the whole tabs in the tab/notification bar, again HTC HD2 doesn’t seem to have that function, or does it?

I'm sure I came across an option for this whilst exploring my phone, but I can't remember where. If I find it again I'll let you know, unless I'm totally losing the plot and there isn't the option and I've just made it up lol
I don't use single volume option. My system volume varies and my ringer volume is to 0 ( but not silent or vibrate ).
But every time I restart the device the the Ringer Volume sets itself to 60 %, regardless of my System Volume.
Anybody knows about this?
Do you use any software which involves profiles?
I use G-profile and it changes system and ringer value based on g-profile settings
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.
Hi all,
Quick question regarding the "Smart Sensor Settings". I like the "Smart Profile: Face Down" option that silences your ringtone when the phone is turned upside down, but it switches the ring from audible to vibrate. I almost never have my phone on audible, vibrate is my default setting. Is there any way to create profile that will switch the alert from vibrate to none?
I'd prefer freeware, but I'm not opposed to using something like Tasker if it can do that trick (ONLY during incoming calls).
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)
