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.
Since a couple of months I have been running the P880 nightly builds and they have all had the problem below. Currently I am on CM11-20140713-NIGHTLY-p880.
When my phone is in silent mode, you can still hear the notification sounds. It does not matter where the phone is set to vibrate or whether the sound is just turned off (usually selected through holding the power button and selecting one of the silent modes). This only applies to notification sounds, i.e. when the phone rings you cannot hear this.
You can also reproduce this by putting the phone in a silent mode and under Settings->Sound->Notifications selecting any of the sounds. You will be able to hear the sound selected. When I try this on a different type device using the same version of CM11, you cannot hear the notification sounds in silent mode.
Any suggestions?

Really? Sounds like a serious issue then. I too encountered this with Hangouts in vibration mode. Also sometimes it's the opposite, notification sounds don't work when not silenced, need to reset volume.

It can indeed be quite embarrassing in a meeting
What surprises me a bit is that the basic silent functionality works for phone calls, but not for notifications. I had not expected that to be a device dependent feature.

I had this problem a while ago. If you look in sound settings, there'll be an option when you press "volumes" saying "silent mode affects notifications". If this isn't ticked, tick it. For me, it was greyed out until I deselected "link ringtone and notifications volumes", so I unchecked that, then checked both. See if that works

That worked. How obscure. Thanks!
I'm having a problem with bluetooth volume. When it's connected to the car stereo it turns the volume lower automatically whenever I try and raise it. It only happens with this phone and it's super annoying! I can't find any option to stop it. It's like an automatic audio limiter. So in the car my volume can go up to 30 but every time I pass 16 it goes back down really low and I have to fight it to see if it will stay. This happens every time I get in the car. I've seen something similar with headphones when you have them plugged in to certain phones. It would give you a warning and then you you turn it up. That, you were able to turn off in settings. Anyone know a fix?

I think this has something to do with an option in the developer options:
try to "disable absolute volume" in the developer options and test.
some devices try to sync the volume to the phone and this doesnt work as intended. had this with my jbl charge 2+. after deactivating the absolute volume i can set the volumes separately. e.g. on phone 100% and on the jbl 50% and adjusting the volume on the jbl doesnt change the phone-settings.

Just as an update, that developer option worked!!! All is well. Thanks!!!
No problem.
So I use the headphone jack in my car to play music off my note 9. Every time I get in, I turn the volume all the way up on my phone, past the warning, and then control the actual volume with my car's stereo. I have noticed sometimes that when I plug my phone in, the volume differs even though I turn it up to max on my phone. I have noticed sometimes it is louder than usual if I leave the volume the same on my car. Has anyone run into this and know what's going on?
I do have Dolby Atmos turned on. Atmos is set to music preset. It also does it with Dolby Atmos turned off.
I use a Bluetooth remote to control playback. Everytime the remote connects, the volume fluctuates and generally goes back to a quieter setting. Sometimes it stays at a louder setting. Does anyone know why?
Maybe media sync is on; check under settings /connections/Bluetooth/ 3 dot menu/ advanced

I can check, but would that impact anything if the Bluetooth part is just for playback and it has no effect on where audio plays?
I know it's a very minor problem but it is one I would like to fix.
When I plug a charger in the screen lights up with the usual animation and the sound. This is too loud in the night so I would like to turn off the sound or disable it in some way.
This is a 9T pro unrooted and updated to MIUI 12.0.2.0. I have searched Google and there are some answers but they must relate to another MIUI as the options in Sound & vibration/Additional settings are different to the ones I see listed.
This is still an issue! Anyone out there with a solution?
Trying to bump this thread.
It's under "Sound reactions".
Mine never made any sound tbh
I finally hit upon an easy solution. Turn on 'do not disturb' setting, then plug in phone or place on charger dock. Then turn off the 'do not disturb' setting. The noise will not wake your household, and should an emergency call come in, you won't miss it. This solves my problem of late night charging. Who wants to stay up to turn sound back on?
