[Q] How to turn off USSD notification sounds

In the menu Settings>Sound>System>Notification Sound there is no siIlent setting. So, I can't turn off sound when dialing an USSD code. If I move notification slider to the left I lose message sound. System sound slider in Soud Profiles settings is off.
Where do I turn this off?

This? Don't exactly know what you mean with ussd.

It's all off. USSD codes-short codes for checking balance, activating carrier services etc. E.g. *123#.
There is no "silent setting" on this screen.

There is no silent option in notification sound as this is the global notification setting.
That sound option where you are talking about in the screenshot listens to the notification sound slider.
You don't mean dial pad sounds when pressing a number?
Or do you mean the response you get from the operator after dialing the code?

What he meant was the sound you get when there's a response for USSD code that you run.
For example, when you check balance / account status using eg. *126#, there will be a notification sound played (in my case, the default sound, Life is Good) when you receive the response from the carrier company.
I read somewhere, that it affects only D802 with HK rom. Can anyone else confirm?

If I'm not wrong notification volume slider is for messages and all other notifications too (viber, whatsapp...), so it's not good idea to turn it off. I meant sound after dialing a ussd code can't be turned off.

I have found a workaround solution. Just copy attached file (1 sec of mp3 silence) to sd card/media/audio/notifications and it will be available for selection in settings - sound - system - notification sound.

[Q] Help using tasker for car docking and undocking

I'd like to stop using Ibolt dock-n-drive for various reasons, so I'm trying to use Tasker to set the volume, keep the screen on, etc when my S 4 goes into dock mode. However, even with Dock No-Op, whenever I undock, the media volume goes to 0 and Bluetooth turns off. I'd like these settings to be restored to their pre-dock state which is what Tasker is supposed to do AFAIK. Is there an easy way to prevent these settings from being adjusted (by the OS?)? I'm sure I can eventually figure out how to make tasker save and restore these settings with brute force, but if somebody has already done this, please let me know the trick or the Tasker code.

I'm using iBolt xProDock. It has a fairly rigid cable that makes it easy to plug in with one hand, so I'd like to keep using this cable. This cable also forces the S4 into dock mode - which was good when I was using iBolt's software. As I feared, the timing between tasker's Dock "end task" and whatever it is turning the Bluetooth off and media volume to 0 is indeterminate. Sometimes the Dock end task comes first, so whatever I do there gets overwritten. My kludge so far is for my Dock end task to wait until Bluetooth is off, and then turn it back on and set the media volume. This will likely be annoying when I undock while sitting in my car but with the Bluetooth still on because the media player will stop and I'll have to restart it manually. (I'm an applications engineer and spend a lot of time sitting in my car when I get to meetings early.)
I've seen other people ask "what is turning off Bluetooth when I undock my S4", but I've never seen an answer. It would be really nice to just stop that behavior.
I've only been using Tasker for a day, so let me know if there is a better workaround.

Go into Vibrate Mode from Lockscreen?

I have a note 3 running stock 5.0. Is there any way to put phone into vibrate mode without entering the pin in the lock screen? Before the on-off menu after a long press on button gave you sound options on the bottom so you could quickly go to silent or vibrate without opening to the home screen.

Also when I open camera widget from lockscreen it looks like this

Half the screen is black. Picture come out properly but viewfinder is obscured.

Your picture issue is a software bug that'll be fixed some time
But no you can't change sounds without unlocking the phone which is very nice but also unconventional

It is not nice imo. When an impromptu meeting occurs I need to go to vibrate mode quickly. Before I could do it from power menu or by holding the volume button down.. Now I need to enter a pin. It is very inconvenient.
The opaque white notifications covering the status bar also suck.
Thank you very much for answering though. Better to KNOW there is no way around this issue than be frustrated trying to find a way to get to mute.

Well I found a way for fellow gear owners. You install wearable widgets in gear from Samsung store then install a widget called Silent Mode Widget on your note 3 and add it to wearable widgets. The silent mode widget will then function from your gear watch. While the phone is locked and in your pocket you can set vibration mode or silent mode or normal mode right from your watch! Never even have to touch phone let alone unlock with pin.

Google now reminders don't respect Interruptions settings in Priority mode

I just recently got 5.1 on my XT1060. I want to set priority mode so that it behaves similarly to the old silent mode on prior Android versions. For example, when I'm sleeping, I want to set up priority mode so that I ONLY get alarms (no sound or vibrate for calls, messages, reminders, other app notifications, etc.).
Anyway, I have configured the following settings:
When calls and notifications arrive -> Allow only priority interruptions
Priority interruptions:
Events and reminders -> ***OFF***
Calls -> OFF
Messages -> OFF
My problem is that, even though "Events and reminders" is set to OFF, I STILL get a notification sound and vibration for reminders set within Google Now. However, this DOESN'T happen for reminders attached to notes within Google Keep. I haven't yet tested all the other possibilities with Calendar events and reminders.
In the "App notifications" settings for the "Google App", Priority is OFF.
What is the expected behavior?
This seems like a bug to me.
As an additional comment, it seems like it would be useful to have customizable presets for the Interruptions settings. Depending on the situation, I may want to configure interruption settings differently. For example, sleep vs. in-a-meeting vs. driving vs. in-a-movie-theater, etc. Rather than having a single "Priority" mode, there could be a drop-down where you select from an arbitrary number of customized presets.
Finally, how do the per-app notification priority settings interact with the Interruptions settings? For example, what is supposed to happen if I turn on Priority in the per-app notifications settings for Hangouts, but have Messages OFF in the Interruptions settings. What happens when I get an SMS?

Good day, it seems you're in stock 5.1. I'm running CM 12.1 20150916 nightly and its been great.
About the presets you mention CM has something called Profiles (see screenshots) and you can enable them from quick settings if you add Profiles as a tile.

Thanks. I have no plans to flash a custom ROM. I just want to understand what the expected behavior is and whether or not this is a bug.
I posted the same question on the Nexus Google Product Forums and got no replies.

Auto on, on charge

I want to use a Samsung Galaxy S10E as a motorcycle dashboard.
I was wondering if it is possible for a rooted S10E to:
1.) Auto turn on device when it is charging
2.) Auto turn off the screen when charging stops
And is there a "How To" somewhere within this forum?

You may need to root to do this. Play with this.

I used an app call'd Tasker, because I wanted more than your 2 steps, which you can very likely accomplish if you play around with settings as @blackhawk suggests.
My setup uses an old S4mini for the music player in my VW buggy:
Turning my accessory switch ON starts phone charger which turns on the phone and then opens the music player app which shows a list of songs. I choose a song by tapping its icon on screen. This starts the song playing rotation from that song. Next song will be whatever is in playlist queue (unless I choose to press the Shuffle button, which I do very rarely). List plays till last listed song is done, and then starts playing first listed song in queue (if my drive is that long, usually not).
Turning my accessory switch OFF cuts off phone charger which causes Tasker to close the player app, bringing up homescreen launcher, which shows for 5 seconds (because it lets me see the time, battery level, etc.) and then Tasker's last task is to run a little app that puts the phone to sleep.

Thanks, I know Tasker, but I thought it would only work when the phone is on.
Will try that first then.
