When you set the phone to vibrate mode, both the ring and system vol slider slides all the way down. This causes no sound in anything even with using earphones when playing music and watching movies.
Does anyone have the same problem and have a fix for this?
Thanks in advance
Yep, same problem, and so does everyone else.

when you put it as vibrate it turns off all phone sounds (it is standard in all windows mobile phones) if you turn the volume up and put the headphones in all phone sounds will go through the headphones.
Sounds like a non problem to me. What would you expect if you have the volume turned all the way down? No sound. If you have head phones and plug them in then turn of the volume. It'll only be in the head phones.
Nah, the problem when the headphones is plugged and sound is turned on. If the phone rings, it still rings through the speaker (not the headphones). So if i'm in a library or something, i can't listen to music without turning the sound on. When the phone rings it will disturb everyone. All my phones i used before non-windows phones from nokia and sony ericsson still had music through the headphones even if the phone was on vibrate.
Ah I see what you're saying now. Personally I see it as a good thing. If I had the phone charging, i.e. not in my pocket or where I could feel it, and was on BT stereo headset but didn't have it plugged into my ears then I would be totally unaware that I was receiving a call. But I must say that I'm not in the library often (last time was probably about 1982) and I don't use vibrate at all really.
This is rediculous.. but apparently winmo doesnt allow you to play music while the phone is set to vibrate...
Is there any way I can get around this?
I dont want my phone ringing in the middle of class, and I dont want to risk forgetting to switch my phone back into vibrate after i finish listening to music.
In all honesty i dont see how this will be possible. I understand your issue however the X1 is effectively cutting off all sound from the unit, pretty much like hitting MUTE on your desktop/laptop master. I could understand if third party software could get around this but i just tested out youtube player for example and good as gold it cut the sound right off whilst on vibrate.
I dont think there will be a solution for this to be honest...i hope im proven wrong though, sure there will be a genius on here with an answer
Maybe I really am just asking for too much. But all of my previous feature phones allowed playback through headphones in vibrate mode. And if no headphones were plugged in, the device asked if I wanted to continue and playback music through the speakers anyway (while keeping vibrate mode active).
i may be a bit confused about your question.
im not sure but your phone shouldnt ring on your phone outlet speaker with headset plugged in.
i guess you can make a null ring tone....
I noticed this the other day in class also. I put my phone on silent and went to the music player and it wouldn’t give any sound to the headphone, the only way was to put the volume back up but this meaning if any one text or rang your phone the class would all hear.
I hope there is a solution for this
one fix is in the volume setting ( the one that pops up when you press volume up or down), turn the phone setting all the way down... you wont hear your phone ring but you can still play music.
another way is to just set the phone ring setting to just vibrate mode only. (haven tried it tho yet as no need for me too but just trying to offer solutions). lots of options in the setting, sound notification menu.
it might not be a one touch solution but i think it can be set up to the way you want it too.
I dont have a solution but I gotta ask... listening to music in class???? At the risk of sounding old fogeyish (I cant believe the spell checker let that word through) shouldnt you be listening to the teacher/lecturer?
Wait, can't you put the ringer on vibrate, but keep the system sound on? That's what I would do. I use the touch audio control so when I use the volume rocker I can switch between ringer and sytem.

No no you missed the point.
I'd listen to music on the way to school. Then I'd turn off the bluetooth once i was done listening. Heres is the problem, once i turned off the bluetooth headset i use, the phone returns to normal sound mode, and is free to ring during class if I forget to switch it back to vibrate.
And I guess I could just manually switch everything to vibrate, but on the weekends I like being able to hear my phone ring.
I'll just have to change the phone to and from vibrate mode when i listen to music I guess...
Why don't you set the ring volume to 0% (don't press silent or vibrate, just set the ring volume down) and leave the system volume where you want it?
Works without problems here.

Does setting ring volume to 0% make the phone vibrate?
Cause not hearing any ringing or getting any vibrating might be just as bad XD
Shadowdh, I was being a bit vague/mixed up, so the fault is mine. No need for apologies

dude you haven't even tried it and yet you already commented on it .heh
the answer is NO it doesn't set to vibrate not just yet. if you click you're speaker icon on your top left screen(almost) it will pop you up a volume panel which consist of left: the system sound and the right: the phone speaker sound consists of six levels each top most being the highest and bottom being 0%. then below a setting of 3 radio buttons for ON, VIBRATE, and OFF.
now setting the right slider to bottom most and setting the left slider on top most gives you full system sound but 0% phone speaker sound. the radio button is autonatically still at ON and not VIBRATE by then. that is your only choice so far.
another problem afterwhich is, you won't hear any phone ring whenever someone calls you up even through your earpiece. that's just darn. I guess it's just a winmo device problem aprt from your previous phones. SEs I guess.
things SE didn't consider to take a look coz SE people lifestyles are music, camera,and or business and or both.
one more thing, when you turn your volume maxed up. you phone will ring even when the earpiece is plug. there's just no setting to turn it off. I mean for silent users who lstens to music by earphones, most of the time they like it that the speakers are just off and every sound just goes by the earphones. There is simply no setting for that.
in previous model of SE's whenever you plug an earpiece and the phone recognizes it. the phone automatically turns to headphone mode, which utilizes only the earphone as the source of sound and nothing else UNLESS specified in the settings. there has been an issue that users forget to unplug their earpieces that they misses x number of calls the whole night while their phone vibrate silently on their bags or table with their earpieces plug. That is the reaon SEs newer models after k750i I think coz I got a k750 and a w800i which is consecutively released. the w800i and so forth features a earphone mode setting but their phone speakers still rings as well as sounds when an sms goes in even if the earpieces are plugged, without a setting to disable it.
It just the way it is, and some people still need that feature. Like me. I don't want people to hear my phone ringing in public places like a market, street at dawn or related areas. Whenever I wanted to listen to music when someone calls, send an sms, the phone just simply sounds off, publicly.
Another comment/workaround a read is a null tone. Might work, but you have to manually set a null tone for calls, as well as for SMS. without any automation like a uh NULL profile perhaps.

I've set my phone to always ring AND vibrate on incoming calls (so I recognize incoming calls even if the music in my living room is very loud ). So if I decrease the ring volume to 0% it does vibrate.
this is like saying i wanna close my eyes and still be able to see something.
As a more lateral solution, have you tried using something like SPB Phone Suite to set either manual or time based profiles?
I'm thinking you could have something like a travelling profile with bluetooth on and sound on and a school one with the phone/system on vibrate and bluetooth off. You could then either change manually with two clicks of the home screen or have it change automatically dependant upon time.
ill always use flightmode! easy and safe...

the problem I encounter here is that phone calls are muted and it's great, but it will still ring through the speaker if an sms is received
any solutions?
this makes it impossible to listen to music at quieter (and most usually boring) places!
Possible Solution
I'm not sure if this works on the ROM you're using, but I'm using Touch-IT 3.5 and it allows me to automatically put the phone on vibrate during appointments.
You could set your classes as appointments and not need to worry about it from then on.
Last night I was watching a movie(Pandorum, you naughty minds) and to hear the sound, i had to take the phone OFF silent mode, but suddenly a friend message and the damn thing beeped really loud....WTF..how to put the phone on silent...and watch a movie or listen to music..i used the entertainment panel BTW...
You could try a program like core player. Perhaps it has a setting for separate sound. Otherwise, silent means SILENT. And that for all sound I guess
Or, you could go to comm manager and turn OFF the phone. So no phone calls to silence
yep.. the second one works...u mean the off line mode rite..nice.makes more sense..
You can just turn off rings and not other sounds (there are two sliders in volume control).
I think this silent mode is great, i had symbian phone before and some apps were playing sound even there was silent mode, but WM effectively blocks all sound.
Messagesounds are systemsounds..and not muted if you only put your phonesounds into silence. Thats how windows mobile works.
You can go into sound settings and change the settings for email, sms, calls ...all one by one
So when watching a movie just turn sms and email off (you can mute calls via volume -quicker)
If you do this regularly you should use a profile app -there are loads
I use G-profile -to turn on BT for the car (and disable S2U2 at the same time)...
or at night -with one click all sounds (sms/email/calls) are off but my alarm still sounds to wake me up as I can leave volume on full
hi everyone
i would like to enjoy the music by my D2 as i hv turn it into the mute mode
can i do it?
it is great for me to listening music in the library
thx a lot..
You can control the volume of the ringer and system volume separately. In Manila go to Setting, Sound & Display, then turn single volume Off.
Normal and Headphone Mode uses different volume level.
You can listen to music with headphone while the phone is set to mute/vibrate

I was listening to music at the gym this morning, and I wanted to switch my phone from Priority Mode to All. (I use Priority Mode as Silent Mode because I just turn off everything and it only allows Alarm to come through, and I always keep my phone on vibrate so All Mode is my Vibrate Mode.) However, I couldn't figure out how. I ended up having to stop the music, wait a few seconds, press the volume button, switch it, then play music again. Seems a bit tedious to do, so was curious if anyone knows another way? Thanks.
Yeah - wait for Android 5.1.

That unfortunately doesn't work if you are in Priority Mode or None mode. There is no way to switch the mode without using the volume button, but when listening to music, the volume button is then dedicated to the music volume.
EDIT: Nevermind...found it in Settings> Sound & Notification> Interruptions. Didn't realize the top setting changed the modes. It is worded differently so I didn't even think to try that. Thanks!
