Lollipop 5.1.1, priority vs silent mode and volume status bar symbols

hi all just upgraded to lollipop 5.1.1 (from 5.0.2). Thank you sony devs. Went without a hitch - apps preserved, etc. However, decided to start afresh so wiped internal memory. I've noticed that priority mode is no more (at least it doesn't appear now when you press the hard volume keys - you just get 'normal' volume controls).
"interruptions" are now described in sound and notifications as "silent mode". I've also noticed that the few volume symbols in the status bar seem no more. For example, I'd know with the star symbol that my volume settings were in priority mode i.e. quiet or silent. With the struck through circle, I should be on silent and the phone with the wee vertical bars meant I was in vibrate mode. I can only now get the vibrate mode symbol to appear. Finally, what's the status of alarms? There used to be a note in the interruptions menu about alarms always being treated as priority events. Sorry if this is straight forward. Regards,
Gary

Thanks for the reply. Worked it out. It hammers the volume keys but basically, you volume down to zero - this takes you to vibrate mode. One more down-press takes you to silent. Here you get your priority controls and the ability to silence alarm too, as necessary. Star and struck-through-circle symbols are active in the status bar, depending on whether you toggle the "allow exceptions" switch. It's annoying that you can't shortcut from the power button menu like you used to but I think it's a lot clearer now, in terms of the layout i.e. these are the permutations you can have in silent mode.

Automatically switches between silent mode and ring

Lately, meaning the last couple of months, whenever I put my iPhone 5 into silent mode the phone will almost immediately switch from silent to ringer and back to silent again. I can tell becaue the silent mode or ring mode graphic will come up and the phone will vibrate briefly. It seems to be getting worse lately as it just flip flopped from silent to ring mode about 5 times in a row. Any ideas? Failed hardware?

Try a reset:
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

IPhone 5 hangs after being on silent mode and doesn't come back normal until I switch it off and switch it back on.

My phone's just a month old and I've encountered this issue for three times in row. I put my phone on silent at night. Following morning, when I get calls while the phone is on silent mode:
1. I put it back on normal mode but phone remains silent.
2. I swipe across the screen to receive the call, I'm able to swipe but call doesn't start.
3. Touchscreen becomes slow in response.
The only thing works is switching off the phone and switshing it back on to get it back to normal. This has happened three times in row and it's surprising becuse the phone's new and has not been damaged at all. Experiencing this after using for just about a month is a nightmare. What's wrong with my phone?

I have an iphone 3 and the same problem. Some of the 2008 posts on a similar title suggest a restore. I need to save all of my 700+ photos somewhere before I attempt that process.

Silent mode doesn't work anymore on 5.1.1

With 5.1.1 any app that used setRingerMode(silent) no longer works. So putting the phone in silent mode is now broken for lots of the 3rd party apps.The D5803, D6653, D6503 go into vibrate mode, but not into silence mode. Come on Sony, get this fixed asap! P.S. The moderator here may think this is referring Sony's own UI. It's not! The issue affects any 3rd party app that tries to mute the phone on a schedule. In 5.0 this results in priority mode, while in 5.1.1 it does nothing at all. This is a bug in Sony's firmware as other 5.1.1 devices work as expected.

Hello folks. A couple days ago I was happy to see a new firmware update for my almost a year old Sony Xperia Z3.Updated to Lollipop 5.1.1, been happy with it SO FAR..... untill I stared to realize an annoying behavior with the silent mode settings.
Before the update, I used to have my phone set up in such a way that it went to PRIORITY mode notifications from Midnight to 7am. Everything worked perfectly fine. Here is the problem descirption:What happens now - Every time the clock hits Midnight, the phone goes into SILENT MODE, and not Priority mode, although my setting clearly indicate it to allow exceptions in silent mode from midnight to 7am. That's fine... whatever, I just turn on the "allow exception" and "allow alarm" on from the drop down menu and it goes into priority again. BUT, there is a second problem. Once in a few times, when I press the volume up OR down buttons, the tasking changes from my selected option (midnight to 7am) to either INDEFINIE or the second setting (where you can select for how long you want it to be on silent). This is veeery odd. For example, I set the tasking as follows:Priority mode (silent mode allowing exceptios and alarms), selecting the third option, midnight to 7am. I shut the phone.I wake up the phone, press the volume up button, and it shows that my tasking is now INDEFINITE. Sometimes it is set on the second option... What can cause this weird behaviour?? Or is it just me?

E72 problem to activate silent mode with 031.023

now it is very difficult to activate silent mode with the ctrl key !

I think this is not a bug, but a fix. In the previous FW it was TOO easy to switch to Silent mode and that would happen quite often by mistake (at least to me).
So I think that Nokia corrected this problem, but did not communicate properly with their customers....

N95 capture tone when in silent mode

my N95 when in silent mode does not sound the capture tone when i take a picture.. but i've tried other N95 handsets even in silent mode they make a sound when you take a picture.. i have lots of friends who are also using N95 and it seems that i am the only one. there's no problem with me not having a sound i'm just wondering if there is a problem with my phone..

Hey Jan813,
there is nothing wrong with your or your friends phone. this is due to a simple setting that you can see:
Menu-tools-profiles-silent-personalise,
in this you will find an option for 'warning tones', if this is set as 'on' your phone will sound the capture tone even when on silent mode and if it is set as 'off' your phone will not sound the capture tone in the silent mode.
hope this helps!
thanks.. i've tried that too.. but their phones still have the sound.. they've been bugging me to tell them how i did it to my phone.. heheh
but thanks anyway..

Problems with JRE installation 1.6.0_18 in silent mode

Hi!
I have problems with installing the JRE from the cmd line in silent mode and in a directory with spaces in the path.
If I remove the spaces in the INSTALLDIR, the JRE installs in the directory I have specified but not when I use spaces in the path.
The command I run is following:
jre-6u18-windows-i586.exe /s /v"/qn INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\company\product test\java\""
all I get is the help window to the windows installer with the different options. What am I missing?
BR,
/Peter

Hi
You should install this Patch:
Patch 13948973: JDEV 11.1.1.6.0 FREEZES IN CUSTOMIZATION MODE DUE TO DEADLOCK
After the installation the JDev works fine again.

Nokia 6500 Slide SIlent mode makes noises

I have a Nokia 6500 Slide, and whenever I put it onto silent mode, it still makes a noise (i.e a standard message tone) to inform me that I have received a message/call. I go to profiles and select everything to OFF, but it still continues to do this.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance

Try typing *#7780* and default code 12345. Backup anything you want to keep, usually restoring settings doesn't delete anything, but better to be safe than sorry!
What might have happened is you had put your phone on silent mode, and then later on changed the ringtone whilst still on silent mode.

Is there a way to see a notification of silent mode?

I don't think this exists, but i really want to be able to see a little symbol at the top of my phone screen while my phone is in silent mode. Sometimes I will put it in silent mode and forget that I put it on that mode and i will miss calls/texts. It's very frustrating and my droid used to have it and i loved that function...am i missing a setting? i am wondering if anyone else would appreciate that option....

Set your phone to vibrate when on silent mode.
you can also set up settings - general - accessibility- LED flas for alerts - ON

5310 loud speaker is not silent in "silent mode"

Hi,
I just got a 5310 (FW 5.91) and love it. One annoying querk I would like to get resolved.
When I have the phone in silent mode (and have set all sounds to "off" in the silent profile), the loud speaker still plays music when the "play" button for the music player accidentally gets pressed. I can lower the volume to the lowest level, but I cannot silence the loud speaker.
When in silent mode, it seems that you should be able to silence the loud speaker.
Thanks for any help.
Eric

Silent profile is designed only to silence call functions, it dates back to the days when phones were only phones.
Perhaps it is something to be reviewed now that so many models have multimedia buttons on the phone itself. I'm not familiar with that model, does the keypad lock perhaps deactivate the music buttons too?

Audio is still working despite iphone is in silent mode

Hi Guys,
I have a new iPhone 6 with IOS 8.1.2 and have the same problem that affected my previous iphone 4S with IOS 8.1.1: when audio is turned off using the hardware switch on the left side I am still able to play audio from my video library or other apps like whatsapp or similar. Even if I go into settings >> sound and look at ringtones they are able to play (also with earphone). Furthermore it happens that recording videos in silent mode doesn't record the audio but only video. Did you experience the same issue? Can some expert explain me this weird feature?
Thank you very much!

Unfortunately I can't check on my iPhone 4s since I sold it, but I remember it worked the opposite. Maybe it was a special feature only for the Italian market! Ok, lets say I don't remember well, and it is designed to work in this way: do you think is it logical decide to turn on the silent mode and play audio? Assuming that is logical, why I should record video without sounds?

No volume on Videos when phone in Silent mode.

When my iPhone is in silent mode and I play a video there's no volume (even though the volume is turned up on the video) the only way to get volume is to flick the switch and put the phone on loud. Then have to come out of the video and go back in to hear volume sure it didn't used to be like this..

I have experienced a similar problem, I had sound for about 30 s, while playing movies, then the screen froze for 2s and then it continued playing, but without sound.
I restored my Ipod, and then updated it, and then everything worked fine.
It was very strange, I think I might disconnect my Ipod too soon while updating him the first time
Hope this has been helpful

IPhone Will Not Power Off or Go Into Silent Mode

Yesterday I discovered that I had my phone switch flipped to Silent Mode, and my phone was still making the General Sounds and Still Ringing. No matter what I do I can't get it to Vibrate instead of ring.
Also it will not power off, no matter how long I hold the button nothing happens, it wont even lock. I tried performing a hard rest by holding the Home Key & Power Button, but instead of reseting the Voice Control pops up and my iPod starts playing.
Any Help Is Greatly Appreciated ♥

- Try another cable.
- Try on another computer
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
