Vibrate Only on FroYo

Ever since I updated to FroYo, I lost the feature of having vibrate only for phone calls and text messages. Usually using the volume rocker (up and down) it would go from silent > vibrate > ring.. On FroYo it goes from silent > ring..
Any idea how to fix it?
I know I can do it manually by making the option be vibrate on silent in phone settings.. But sometimes I do not want my phone to vibrate on silent.. Just a hassle of going into settings and turning it off each time when i do not want it

It sounds like your problem is two fold.
First, mine goes from sound bar down to vibrate. (I don't know if ADW launcher has an affect on this or not).
Secondly, you might want to look in to the settings applications on the market and see if you can set and restore settings for those times you want just silent and vibrate for some parts.

Are you using modaco's rom?

I use a widget called extended controls which is like an enhanced version of the stock power control widget. It has options for vibrate only or complete mute.

sliding the speaker on the lock screen should put it on vibrate only on froyo

Nope the Lock screen slide makes it completely silent. Is it only Modaco's rom ?

Did you check settings> sounds > vibrate and ensure it is not never or only when not silent?

Well neither of those options help because its either one or the other. I do not want it to always vibrate or just vibrate when on silent.. I dont know why it disappeared :S

Did you try "vibrate only on silent mode" and see if you get the option? I'm tuning kang-of-rama froyo and it works and that is what mine is set to. Otherwise maybe reflash your rom?

Vibrate only in silent mode defeats the purpose of silent mode
Stupid google, wth were they thinking with this change. I don't understand why they had to fix something that wasn't broken.

you can do it from individual app setting for sound, and in the home screen setting. that way you can tailor each app's vibrate, or silence the way you prefer.

Everyone is missing the point here. I have a Droid running Froyo and am experiencing the same problem. It is really not that hard to understand, but so many forums about this issue are full of replies that misunderstand the issue:
Prior to Froyo, Silent and Vibrate were 2 distinct functions:
Silent: ringer volume at zero and vibrate was disabled. Perfect for a theatre or a quiet meeting where even a vibrate would be annoying and disrespectful.
Vibrate: ringer volume at zero and vibrate enabled. Perfect for keeping the phone in your pocket, being aware of notifications, but not having your phone beeping and ringing all day.
This all makes sense, yes? By using the volume rocker, it was possible to adjust from full ringer volume down to low ringer volume. If you continued down after the volume was at it quietest, you activated vibrate mode. Then, if you clicked down once more, you would enable silent mode. Also all makes sense. And is extremely useful and intuitive.
In Froyo, Google has changed the way the OS handles volume control when it comes to silent mode and vibrate mode. And quite frankly, they have screwed it all up. Now, in Settings, you can specify whether the phone should vibrate "Always", "Never", "Only in Silent Mode", "Only when not in Silent Mode".
Ugh. So what that means is they have essentially done away with a distinction between silent and vibrate and now instead of having quick access to both options, you have to pick whether silent means truly silent like before or whether it really means vibrate. So frustrating.
So far, the only solutions I have seen out there are to download one of the many widgets that allows you to toggle between vibrate, silent, and ringing via a home screen icon. But this is not good enough. I want Volume Rocker control back of true Silent and true Vibrate modes.
Someone here on XDA must know how to fix this. Can't someone come up with an app that overrides the volume rocker? Or even an update.zip that restores the 2.1 functionality here?
Here's to hoping!
EDIT: here is the official google help thread on this topic: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=3f836bd37ec0dc88&hl=en

Hmm it seems i'm not the only one who misses that option on Froyo!
I used it quite a lot...going from sound to vibrate (when going out) then going into a meeting just one more click and the phone was on silent.
There must be someone who knows how to fix this?

Any news on this ?

Tbh I like the new way much better

for a second i thought i was going crazy but it seems like everyone has the same problem
oh well, here's hoping google fixes this soon. i want the old "silent [no vibrate] -> vibrate only -> ringer+vibrate" setup back.

Agreed I prefer 2.1's behaviour.
I'm using Curvefish's "Beautiful Vibrate" widget as a workaround for now.

i just upgraded to froyo and this missing feature also really annoys me..
it's been some time since the last post in this thread. are there any proper solutions/workarounds yet?

Settings -> sound -> check silent state

sorry, there's nothing to check there this post within this thread describes the problem very well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6975085&postcount=12
i can't find the "beautiful vibrate" widget within the market, guess it doesn't exist anymore?
[edit]
i'm using "silent toggle widget" now, seems to be working as expected, but of course doesn't replace the volume rocker feature/settings from 2.1

[Q][Help] Notification/Ringer goes silent

Ive noticed since I got my X on Monday that randomly my notification/ringer won't make any sounds. Even if I have it set to the loudest possible setting. When I choose the volume thru the volume buttons the sound when raising or lowering doesnt always work either. I have all the settings correct to make sounds. Could this be a Lollipop thing, or is it my X? Has anyone else had this happen?

Yeah, it's been happening with my device aswell.. no idea what could be the reason, either the Lollipop update or some conflicts with moto apps perhaps? Wish I could fix it.
Bumping this in case someone finds a solution!

I found that if I use the volume buttons to change volumes it goes silent. So I just adjust the volume in the settings/sound to change volume.

I've noticed that the volume takes a step down in certain apps and situations, for instance: whenever I get a notification from whatsapp with the screen both on/off, the volume is rock solid.. but whenever a notification comes through facebook messenger with screen off, the volume is ABSOLUTELY low; meanwhile, with the screen on the volume is fine with both of them. SMS, Youtube and Email notifications are fine aswell (for now).
EDIT: well, it happens randomly even when ringing from a phone call even after adjusting from the settings and not the volume rockers. Gosh, Moto should fix this one asap.

If we had a LED I wouldn't care. I have to keep turning my screen on to see if I have a text msg

[Q] How to put phone in vibrate or sound mode while listening to music?

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.

Settings> Sound & Notification

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!

Is there a way to set phone volume to 0 in Ring mode using Tasker? (OnePlus 5)

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.

phone changes settings too easily

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.
