Lollipop silent mod !! - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How to set your phone on silent mod with lollipop ?
Do i have unlock the phone every time to lower the volume or pull down the notification?
I used to just hold the power button then select the mode i want >.< when the phone is locked.
This is a step backward IMO

am too need silent mod Lollipop note 4 n910f

This one with the power button is not present anymore.
The silent mode itself is now called "Interruptions".

Interruptions may be a useful feature but I don't see why it couldn't work alongside Silent mode, it's ridiculous. Well, I can live with Vibrate but it's just the logic behind this move that escapes me.

Silent mode is present on Note Edge Lollipop leak. Weird...

like @Yathani stated, I used hold power to switch quickly to silent without unlocking always. I'm confused why, its a step back!!

That move that Google did with silent mode is ridiculous....I don't see the point in that.

It's funny to read all comments on the Android bugtracker about googles latest move on lollipop silentmode. Its like when they removed sdwrite access in KitKat all over again https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79445 I wonder how many Android users got late at work because of this move of Google in Lollipop haha

Okay i found the silent mode.
Pull down the notification with two fingers.
Look for the star icon which is the priority mode and long click.
Then on the interruption for everything
Now go pack to the notification and when you click the start icon twice, it will turn to circle with dash inside.
This is your new silent mode
Stupid i know but you have to deal with it

I don't have a star icon. What is the name of it?
edit: oh, I had it already turned to something else - "All".

?? There are no sound options available on the note 4 when you press and hold the power button. I don't see this interruptions thing either. Just an incredibly annoying inability to tuen off unwanted vibrations as the next best thing to silent mode... I've resorted to using airplane mode at night to shut my phone up!! WTF GOOGLE???

Interruption notifications option is located and can be configured under sounds settings. It can be activated and adjusted easily with new quick tile in the top bar. The only minor things is you can't activate it anymore by holding the power button so you need to unlock your phone first [emoji6]

Attention
Don't try what I have said in the previous post. This caused me to arrive late to work due to alarm being on silent as well.
Very very stupid

lol,
Well silent mode wil be back in 5.1 so bare with it for now hahaha
Android 5.1 would be launched by the end of February 2015, and a second, completely separate source, also privy to important information regarding Android updates, confirmed it. But to have the firmware shipping on new devices in the first week of February is a nice surprise to all of us.
Not only that, this is allegedly a rather large update with many interesting new features. See the changelog provided to us (from mid-December) below:
Silent mode added after missing on Android 5.0
General improvements in system stability
Improved RAM management
Fixes for sudden app closures
Improved battery management
Excessive consumption of network devices when used Wi-Fi fixed
Issues with wireless connections fixed
Problems with Okay Google function solved
Notifications problems solved
Some sound problems experience by certain devices fixed

Install the Volume Ace widget :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.braincrash.volumeacefree&hl=en
By clicking the widget you can switch to normal, Vibrate and mute mode. You can also configure separately every mode.

there is no silent mode on lollilpop 5.0.1, so a widget cannot do that.

LED notification in LP is now working in 23.2.A.1.62 with Silent mode

Finally you will get a LED notification If you set your Xperia to silent mode
This bug has been fixed in the latest build "23.2.A.1.62"
You don't have to wait for 5.1 or using light flow or true silent mode to fix it

Since 5 years ago i use my phone only on Silent mode. When my message on whatsapp arrive, fb notification, call anything, it lights up the LED notification, and it blinks till i dont read it.
On 23.1.A.0.726 when set to silent/no interruptions my led does not light up..
If I mute with volume buttons, that might be another story ,haven't tried though.

But for Xperia Z* phones on lollipop ıt's not working anymore while using silent Mode
This was lollipop fault, not Sony
SILENT/NO ITERRUPTION is made to be like that.
It will not show you notifications, not light up LED light nothing. When i went to cinema i put it on that, i had nothing, moment i went to normal silent mode "with volume key down" i received notification and led light notification.
This mode "no interuption" is like this, nothing cant interrupt you, including led notification
EDIT:
• None
• Priority
• All
1. If you select "None" You really will not receive any more notifications on your phone. But is also important to know that in this mode the alarm clock also no longer rings! Caution!
2. When selecting the "Priority" mode, you will accept the settings from the menu above. This can be configured as your new silent mode.
3. To enable all sound notifications on your phone, choose “all”.

Isn't it a bug then (if true) ? If I set no interruptions,then I want no interruptions whatsoever. Anyhow, a minor issue ,if at all (at least for me) .
What puzzled me from the start is saying finally it works,from my perspective I read :bug introduced (again, if it is so)

This is great news! Thanks for sharing this OP. There seems to be some misunderstanding about what exactly this change means or why it's important, but I can tell you a lot of people are going to be really happy about this.
Finally I can have my phone on my desk at work in silent mode and just use the LED to see if I have a message, like it used to be in kitkat.
edit: 23.2.A.1.62 is only for the D6653 right? Can we get this update on the D6603?

Couple of things i've noticed.

Had my 16gb moto g for about two weeks now and i've noticed a couple of things that bug me a little.
The first thing i've noticed is a slight distortion in the ear piece, happens randomly during a call.
Secondly when selecting a ringtone or receiving a call the sound plays very quietly for about a second before jumping to the set volume.
has anyone else had a similar experience?

The ring thing has been around since at least the 2nd gen. It's by design and supposedly there to protect your hearing if you have the phone near your ear when it rings.
I haven't heard any distortion on mine.
I haven't noticed any distortion.
I am not able to see "reboot" option in power options. I just see Power off. No other option is available. Am I missing any thing?

Power off option is all you get with lollipop. Its normal - another stupid decision from Google. However I don't think reboot was an option on KitKat either, but aeroplane mode was.

On my moto g 1st gen I used xposed module APM+ (advanced power menu plus) which allows power button customisation but don't know if this is available for 3rd gen.

I think it's a Motorola decision. The Elephone S2 I bought at the same time is also running 5.1, and it has the usual 3 options, power off, airplane, restart.
Did someone notice that on the stock Motorola Camera, using the front facing camera, when taking a snap, it thinks it's in night mode (screen flashes white), but when activating the Night Mode, it takes normal photos

For the reboot you only have to press and hold the power button. Works for me.
Thanks!
There is a temp solution on these moto phones regarding this issue :
You need to put an insulation tape on the top ( secondary ) mic near headphone jack.

How do I disable do not disturb?

Problem:
Phone in my pocket, volume down gets bumped into. The next 3 hours I won't get any notifications. This is incredibly annoying and frustrating.
How in the world can I disable volume down activating do not disturb while the screen is off?
First, the power button has to be bumped first, then the volume down button (various times). Too much bumping.
get a case

The power button does not need to be bumped.
While the phone is sleeping (screen off + short wait), press volume down either once or twice and it will go into do not disturb mode. I can also put on full volume while it's sleeping as well.
Tried what you said. Doesn't happpen to me. Using stock rom.

Which rom are you using? Is Double tap to Wake enabled? Are you using an app to lock the screen? Maybe that app is not locking the screen initially but displaying a black image for a short time before turning the display off.

Stock rom.
Ambient display is disabled.
No App. It did this stock out of the box
RMA would be a better option.
Problem has come back! a week delay this time
I would love an option to disable it on the phone entirely I never use it anyway and it occasionally gets turned on by mistake and I end up missing calls.
Found this in another forum - change DND priority settings to allow calls and messages from anyone. Should fix it!

Nexus 6P shows the vibrate symbol only, when turning volume all the way down

This is a very strange thing that happened to me today. I am not sure what I hit from the outside of my phone to put it into vibrate mode but I noticed the following afterwards:
When I turn the ring volume all the way down it vibrates and shows the vibrate symbol only. I could have sworn there are 2 modes here silent or vibrate. Why is it forcing vibrate? In my settings I have vibrate on call turned off.
I was playing around with the Do Not Disturb features, but not sure how this could affect something like this.
Any ideas? Can people please confirm that on their Nexus 6P when they turn the volume all the way down they don't see a vibrate symbol, but a silent symbol (the tune with the / through it). I want to make sure I am not losing my mind.
My phone is on Android version: 6.0.1
I get vibrate (square with lines on the outside symbol) and if I click volume down again I go to DND. Sounds like you changed a setting in DND options maybe

What you just described is exactly what I get I think. If I go down to the bottom I get the vibrate symbol, if I hit down again I get DND. Does this make sense? I guess DND is silent? I swear on my Nexus 6 there was a Tune with a / through it regardless of DND settings.

Sounds like how mine works, and I'm totally stock. DND is pretty much same as silent but with alarms and I think you can adjust other settings as well. Haven't messed with it much, but sounds like yours is working properly. Did you have MM on your N6? If not, I don't think Lollipop had DND

Can't remember what my Nexus 6 had, but I am pretty sure DND works slightly different in the latest version of Marshmallow. I like what they did with it though, a lot more flexibility. Thanks for confirming that I'm just going crazy and that my phone is functioning properly.

The whole phone it was the vibration motors.. They swapped it out all is good now well thus far..
I had the same issue. No vibration at all. I put the phone in safe mode by powering down the phone then restarting. Once "Samsung" appears hold down the volume down button until the phone has finished booting. It should then say safe mode at the bottom left corner. I tested the heptic feedback and incoming call vibration while in safe mode and the vibration worked. I then restarted the phone again to take it out of safe mode and vibration has been working since.
Hi. Experiencing same here. Tried safe mode already. Still not working.
