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.
Have seen people complaing about not being to have say ringtone and media volume separate. Just wanted to post a finding some may not know. If your watching say a moving you can turn the volume up and still click the volume (bell toggle ) and have it on vibrate but media have volume. Some may already know but I haven't seen it posted
actually that's not a solution to the problem, that just switches the ringer to silent and puts vibrate on, people want to be able to have the ring tone full on and the media lower (so as not to blow their ear drums out from their headphones) without having to adjust the volume each time.
Good spot though.
Oh okay I see. That makes since. Hopefully they will fix with an update
I use skype daily for business. I can't live without. Ever since the recent Honey Comb update from Dell my volume is full blast while in skype talking to someone using the OEM headset/mic. If I use the regular mic and speaker volume controls go normal.
It is just skype voice communication that this happens. While skype is open I can do other things on my tablet and volume is adjusted to how I set it for device.
Has anyone else experienced this since upgrading? Any solutions?
Thanks
Last time I used it with video, I did not noticed this. Are you using video call or voice call? I will test it tonight and let you know.
Just voice thanks for checking.
ok I tested and confirmed your problem. I cannot change the volume also. It must be a bug. But there's a simple solution. Use a headset with a volume control. I have tested it and a headset with a volume control will allow you to turn down the volume. One drawback is that the preset volume is the Max volume, you cannot increase the volume beyond the preset volume without power amplification. However, the preset volume is more than loud enough, too loud for my hearing.
I hope this helped you and others who may have run into this problem.
Thanks again for confirming. I was at the conclusion of the volume controlled headset as well. Hope they fix it soon. I really like my portable skype phone.
Hello everyone,
I have the following issues with the sound on my Redmi Note 4X .
1. When my phone is on "Sound" and I turn it to "Silent" and then I go back to "Sound" it's actually still on "Silent" because when I go to the Sound settings i can see that the volume is on 0 and i need to move the bar manually and that's every time when I go from Sound to Silent and back to Sound it doesn't remember my volume and it stays on 0 and i need to raise the volume manually every time when i move from Silent to Sound.
2. Another issue is when i turn off the Multimedia Sound I am still able to hear WhatsApp/Facebook etc. notification sounds which is not normal when the Multimedia Sounds are turned off.
3. When talking on speaker, the speaker sound is very weak.
Any suggestions on these guys? Thank you in advance!
No one?
Hi, I have the same issue as #1, but no idea what to do with it. Anyone have anything?
I have very important problem because I am feeling a lot of embarrassment from people. My phone ringer goes down and the volum gets low and then I didn't able to hear the ringtone and I always missed very important calls. Is there any solution to this problem or is there any way that to ringtone volume never goes down even I turn down the media button. Please help it has causes me a lot of loss and embarrassment.
Is the volume setting for ringtones low? or is it the volume of the ringtone itself?
In the latter case you may choose another ringtone. in the first case: Does the setting change when the ringtone rings or during a call. Can you reproduce the problem? What steps are needed?
on some phones there is a quick setting for the ringtone mode. you may remove it if you happen to change the setting by accident.
