Silent mode on 5.1.1

mr_xzibit — Wed, 22 Jul 2015 14:53:26 GMT

How do I enable silent mode on 5.1.1 it's not an option on the pull down notification. Or using the volume keys like 5.0.2.
Any ideas?

My friend,you need to wait until more of us get 5.1.1 on our devices. Not sure,doesn't power button long press bring it up?

Holding the power button only gives power and screen shot functionality. The only way to activate it seems to be going in the settings.

Or by reducing the volume to 0. But neither seem a step forward.

OK I think I got it. Tap the volume key. Now tap the bell on the volume slider. Thanks Alexdon that video helped a lot

So I am that cool that I don't need the new update to figure things out. Just kidding. Great news.

@mr_xzibit I remember that on 5.0.2 the same tap on bell icon was available.

It is, but on 5.0.2, since Google in all it wisdom disabled traditional silent mode, all it does is go to vibrate and back to sound again.

On 5.1.1 it should be sound>vibrate>silent.... at least that's on AOSP.

Silent = no sound, there is another silent that stops everything.

Z3 can't activate silent mode after update to android 5.1

marty5 — Thu, 30 Jul 2015 00:28:49 GMT

after updating my z3 compact yesterday I cannot activate silent mode...

touching the volume (rocker control on the side of the phone) just displays the alarm volume settings.

why can't they just bring back the option to activate it from the drop-down options or have a shortcut from the home screen???

not impressed - can any body help!?

@Phy

I wasn't fully aware of this change, I'll add this to my thread "Lollipop New Features"

@marty5

I agree with you, it's a lot easier

Could you elaborate?

You can also hold volume down until it vibrates, release volume down and then quickly press it once again

Eh, you're referring to the Z3+? Lollipop 5.1.1 hasn't been rolled out for the Z3+ yet.
