ahhha!! that simple
wow iam stupid.....
thanks a lot.
I never ever play music with the phone ;-)
I come from an iPhone with the hardware silent switch. If this was set, then the only sound would be vibrate. All other sounds (games, music, etc) would only be available through the headphones.
On my Galaxy Note, if I turn on silent mode, it seems to only affect the phone. For example, navigation, Skype notifications, etc, are all still heard. Is there a way to suppress all sounds in silent mode?
Rofl that is the media volume just hit your volume rocker all the wway down !

I realize that... but shouldn't silent mode still mute the media volume too? I assumed it muted the master volume, not just phone rings. I was in a job interview and had to turn the phone off because I was getting Skype messages
Is there an app/mod that can override the silent and make the phone truly silent without having to mess with the volume slider?

Ohh well if you go onto settings and click sound you can adjust volumes of media/alarm the way you want it its a slider thingy so if you want true silent just drag down all the sliders takes about 2 second to accomplish

shahkam,
I understand that but ALL others phones I've used with a silent switch, silence EVERYTHING. Going into volume and sliding the slider is extra effort than flipping a switch. Makes no sense that "silent" really does not silence the device. When you mute the volume on your Mac/PC, it does not selectively mute certain applications (system sounds, music volume, mic volume, etc). It mutes everything.
I'm sure I am not the only one who finds this strange. Is this an Android issue or specific to the Note?

Yes, there are profile apps that can be downloaded (mine is a paid app, easyprofiles) that can set all volumes e.g. ringtones & media volume, with a single click.

It sounds like skype is using the media audio channel for notification sounds, which should be going through the... notification channel! Sounds like a skype issue (the skype app is really bad)

It's not just Skype. As shahkam pointed out, even if you put the phone on silent, any apps using media volume are still audible. Defeats the purpose of silencing the phone, IMO. If I set the phone to silent, I expect NO audio (only vibrations).
Anyway, seems like I am beating a dead horse here and will have to use a 3rd party app for "one-click mute" instead of mucking around with volume sliders. Thanks for the suggestions.
P.S. yes, the Skype app is pretty bad but it was much worse on the iPhone.
The third party app "tasker" can provide a no click solution among other things. It can automate most anything, including completely silencing your phone when you have a meeting on your calendar. Send texts automatically to people when you are driving,etc.
If you are planning to stay on Android for a while, this powerful app is well worth its price.

I've probably been watching too much sci-fi but this sounds quite scary to me

which rom are you using? i put the phone into silent mode using the drop down toggle so it is on vibrate, i dont get any notification sounds for sms/email etc that i would if it wasnt on silent mode
i dont use skype so i cant say about that but it sounds like certain app are using their own sound system which is overriding the system default
Buddy the silence thingy on iPhone is the only good thing about an iphone it isn't so hard to silence it completely + if you use silent mode alot just go to message aand disable notification same for every other apps such as Skype i understand your frustration but i honestly think its not a big issue :/

Solution: AudioMuter
I was also annoyed by this "feature"... So I've written an app that can mute all audio outputs of your phone.
It's called AudioMuter and is available in the Playstore:

Hope this helps!
Silent thing in iphone is not the best. It sucks dude. The toggle or button of the iphone usually breaks.

You could get a 3.5mm jack and plug it into the headphone socket when you want silence.

Not necessarily, I still get SMS notification sounds on my handset when i have headphones in.
I use Slider Widget - Volumes in the Play Store; fantastic app, puts a widget with up to 6 toggles on it. I turned double touch toggle on in settings so I can just double tap the icon to toggle sound on and off. When i want silence I toggle off all but the alarm and in-call voice volume and with it on my home screen I can tell at a glance what sound is on/off.
For finer control, you click a toggle and it pops up a slider bar to adjust the volume.
I have to say, I agree with the person above...the fault lies more with Skype on your particular problem for apparently using the wrong volume setting for its notifications; it might not be entirely intuitive that silent mode leaves media volume on, but media volume SHOULD only apply to sounds you deliberately generate (ie, you start playing music or a game). Things like notifications/ringtones/etc go off at unexcpected times outside of your control, so those are the ones you want to silence... you can't hit play on your music app and then get angry at your phone for playing music lol.
Hello,
I just bought the xperia SP & was little experimenting with the LED bar (illumination bar pro).
Really like it but now i was wondering if there is a way to get the LEDs blinking like when you play music with the walkman app..?
I like to use playerpro, but there the LED bar doesn't work..

Follow these steps:
>Open music player and play music and then lock the screen.
>Then press lock screen once and slide down the notification panel and tap on any notification other than music player (or setting)
>phone will be unliocked and the music will continue to play with light beats
>Now, slide the notification panel and pause the music
>now open any other app and feel the magic!
Thanks!

I have installed an xposed module to unlink ring volume and notification volume.
It seems to work but Facebook is giving me headaches: at night I do not want to be woken up by messages etc. but I want the phone to ring for emergencies, so I put to zero the notification volume and to max the ring volume, and in making some tests I realised that for whatsapp/sms/email the notifications are indeed silent but Facebook still makes sound.
Anyone knows why?
Did you uncheck notifications in fb messenger option?

no luck...
that is annoying and very very strange...
notification volume is off, all notifications (whatsapp, sms, email, gmail) are silent, with the exception of facebook...
At nigjr I need the phone to ring and connected to internet, but I do not want notifications to ring, still I want them to arrive... this way I wake up for each facebook notification
not sure if the problem is android or facebook
could someone try on his phone?
been googling... it seems facebook is using the RINGER voljme and not the NOTIFICATION volume...
wtf!
It's hard to understand why there is no LED on the Nokia 8, not necessarily a color one like on my trusty Lenovo P2, even a white one would do the trick for notifications...
Anyway I don't like audio on notifications so I was hoping to have the phone vibrate but that doesn't seem possible, am I missing something ? Thanks for any help !
Just turn Notification/Phone ring Volume to 0 should be vibration only

That would also mute phone rings, which I doubt OP wants.
@webvan You can manually turn of notification sounds for each app by long-pressing an app icon and tap: App Info -> App notifications -> Messages -> Sound -> None.
Thanks, yes I'd still like the phone to ring !
Will try the app by app setting.
ok so I tried that method and you can indeed dig into the notifications and when they are set to a high or above importance you can activate "vibrate" and deactivate "sounds". Thanks !

Seems crazy that 10 years into Android development there is no option to only make your phone vibrate when a notification arrives instead of making a sound !

May I ask what apps you are trying to turn off sound notifications? For Instant Messaging apps like Viber, Signal, Telegram, etc. I can easily turn the sound notification OFF and leave the vibration option ON. Some apps don't have those options simply because they don't send and/or display notifications.
It's strange to hear you can't do that. Try exploring all the options around the Notification Settings in each app.
Oops, had edited my message in the meantime! Yes I found that the trick is to set importance of the notification to high or above to get control of the sound+vibration settings. All good now!
