Does anyone know how to have Driving Mode (Settings>Language and Input>Text to Speech Output>Driving Mode) stay on permanently?
The current idiotic implementation of this very useful feature (which announces caller ID and message content) causes it to be disabled whenever the phone is set to silent mode, so that one has to switch it on manually every time one exits silent mode.
Is there any way to make it stay on permanently once enabled, regardless of phone audio mode?
I mean, the same feature on Nokia phones obeys silent mode global settings, and starts working again automatically when you exit silent mode.

Not exactly.
How Driving Mode works is that when you receive a call, it will read out the name of the caller (if it is in your phone book) or the number (if it is not). This is similar to the "Say Caller's name" feature in Symbian S60 and S^3 phones.
It is very handy in that (especially if you have a flip/folio case) it lets you know who is calling without having to open the case and look at the phone, especially when you are driving.
Ideally, if enabled, it should just mute audio when in silent mode, and become audible when silent mode is exited.
How it works now is that when you go to silent mode, the feature is disabled, and you have to re-enable it manually when you leave silent mode.
same problem
i have the exact same problem, the driving mode doesn't re-enabled automatically when i exit the silent mode, so i have to manually enabled it.
is a very handy feature but with the current behavior is useless.
anyone has a solution for this??

I found that my Galaxy S cannot sustain in Silent or Vibrate Mode whatever I set. I set the phone to Silent mode during my working time but the phone will enable back the sound after I make a call or answering a call.
I tried to use "Setting Profile" software also same.
Is that anywhere to set the phone to permenent Silent Mode until I manual turn on the sound?
Hi!
When I set Scheduled silent mode (e.g. from 23:00 to 06:00), the Exceptions option is completely ignored. Instead Exceptions are only controlled by the slider in the "Volume Button Menu".
So when I use Silent Mode without Exceptions during day then Exceptions will be disabled at night too, even if they are enabled in Scheduled silent mode.
Can someone confirm this issue? Any solutions or outlook that this will be fixed?
Thank you.
I have noticed this as well. I have a scheduled silent mode where I allow phone calls as exceptions, but when it becomes active at 10 pm, it is without exception. Each night, at 10 pm, I have to hit the volume button and switch the slider to allow exceptions.
I am occasionally on call and I need to silence emails and texts overnight, but I must be able to hear phone calls. The way silent mode works now, if I forget to correct the exceptions setting at 10, I will not hear phone calls. Perhaps we should post something to the Sony forum.
Thanks for your reply!
I posted it at the Sonymobile Support forum. (Sorry, I'm not allowed to post a link here....)
I have a profile in Tasker that is supposed to set the phone to silent mode when I have a meeting scheduled. It works fine, has always done, until I got the OnePlus. The OnePlus has its built in system of Ring mode, DND mode and Silent mode which are triggered by the three step hardware switch on the side of the phone.
What happens is that when my "In a meeting"-profile triggers (and my phones hardware trigger is set to Ring), Tasker tries to set the volume to 0 but since the Ring mode prevents it the volume only goes down to 1 (out of 7 steps).
Someone tipped me of an app called "Sound Profile +volume schedule" which actually managed to change the volume to 0 in my phone when I applied the apps "silent" profile!
I however am not that clever at this (yet) that I can figure out what this app called on to make this happen.
But I'm counting on that some of you smart guys and girls here might know!
Thank you!
EDIT:
I have no ****ing idea how I suddenly got this to work but here it is. A silent profile in Tasker while slider is set to ring mode.
Volume is 0% and not 15% as it has been for a while for me. The ****er just suddenly gave in and works!

This is a few days old so maybe you've moved on. There are apps that will capture intents, maybe that is a way to find out what the Sound Profile +volume schedule app is doing. Then you could send the same intent through tasker. Else, instead of lowering the volume a workaround might be to switch the ringtone to silent. Then there is always AutoTools.

So my pixel 4 5G mutes my sounds daily, will put me in do not disturb, airplane mode or whatever anytime it feels the urge, so it would seem. I've set the screen lock to immediately lock when I kill the screen but it hasn't helped. Do I need to set it to only come on when I press the power button to stop this? SO frustrating. Sure love the camera on this thing though!

Do you have any rules set to change your ring mode?

Ring mode? rephrase please. There's no such thing as a "ring mode". You may silence the ring tone, you may change the ring tone, you can turn up or down the ring tone volume, but there are no modes that I know of.

There are 3 ring modes:
Silent
Vibrate
Sound
I say "ring mode" because it's simpler than "volume, sound, and vibrate settings".
As for rules, check under Settings > System > Rules. You can create rules to automatically effect certain actions, such as changing your ring mode at a certain location or when connected to a certain WiFi network. Since my wife always puts her phone on Silent at work, I created such a rule on her phone so that she won't miss my calls when she's home.
Ah yes, of course, sorry. And that's what the phone does, is change my mode too easily. So I checked rules and there are none made. I was finally able to access my notifications while on car bluetooth though(car speaker would not voice notifications), found the setting to let the phone do the notifications in the car's bluetooth properties (Yay) And thanks for chiming in VOlatyle, appreciated. Thanks for your service as well. The odd thing about this is, my brother has the same phone purchased at the same time and it doesn't act like this. I may do a factory reset and reload it to see if that helps.
I have been using Pixel 7 for a few months now and am facing this issue since the day I have got this device. I am not sure what is causing this issue. I tried going through all the settings, developer options, custom rules, notification settings for Whatsapp but couldn't find anything.
THE ISSUE - The device works perfectly fine when I get a normal phone call, which means it rings if the phone is on ring mode when I receive a normal call. Where as for a whatsapp call (Audio/Video), even if the phone is on ring mode, it rings for a second and then immediately switches to silent mode. This means if I get a call over WhatsApp, then after that my phone will remain silent until I manually turn it back to ring mode by clicking on volume button and changing the setting. AI have to do this every single time when I get a WhatsApp call so that I don't miss out my next normal call.
I tried uninstalling the beta version, but it behaves the same way for the regular whatsapp as well. I would appreciate if anyone here could help me with this issue which has become a pain now.
