Sound and Vibrate? - Sony Xperia ZL

There are very little sound options provided with the UI. I'd like to have a sound, sound and vibrate, vibrate , and a silent mode but it seems sound and vibrate are not possible. The only option I see is the vibrate when ringing option but that's only for phone calls, I want vibration for all notifications.
I'd like to avoid using an app to do this as most phone manufacturers provide this functionality out of the box but if need be, any suggestions? Preferably not an app that has endless options and complexities and preferably doesn't look like android version 1.
thanks!

[Q] Phone rings in silent mode

Hey Guys, i have a question, my nexus is ringing when i have it set to silent mode.
The ring is not the normal ringtone.. when the call is received, there is a short ringing sound, the LED flashes and then it goes silent. all texts/emails are silent in silent mode its just phone calls show that ring-ring then go silent.
I am stock/rooted. Im not really sure what is going on here..
Any ideas? i looked through all the setting on the phone and couldnt find anything related to this.
Thanks so much for any help
Are you using any profile switching applications or apps that change your sound levels? I used to get this on my Droid sometimes when using a profile switching app. The app would say I was silent, and my volume levels were down, but on an incoming sound from twitter would still make it through, like the app didn't respond fast enough.

Setting, App, or ROM to facilitate muting phone except call vibration

I would like my phone to lower all sound and turn off all vibration EXCEPT incoming call vibration at night. I've tried a few different apps and programming in Tasker but since setting silent mode overwrites the call volume setting I can't do it that way, and I can't manipulate the vibrate on notify setting. This stems from the fact that ringer and notification are both linked. I am rooted and really don't want to flash a ROM to unlink the two.

How to manage sound profiles and vibration?

Hi there.
As i asked in the title, is there a way to manage sound profiles? I'm looking for and app, widget or anything else that can easly switch from an "outside" profile, which means high volume in notification and vibration for incoming calls, sms, whatsapp and so, to an "inside" profile, lower volume and vibration OFF, and others. Do you know if is there anything like what i'm looking for?
I have 5.1.1 rooted on my z1c.
Thank you!
This is pretty much what you need

I just tried this and i've already tried others similar, like profile scheluder and sounds profile, but no one can control the vibration, only volume and ringtones. Nothing else?
Thanks.
I'm almost sure it allows to turn vibration on or off. Have you delved fully in to the settings?
Yes i did, and it allows to turn vibration on or off, like all other apps, but it only works with incoming calls, vibration doesn't change for sms, whatsapp and other notification.

A fix for horrible sound settings?

Is there any way (with or without root) to fix these idiotic sound settings?
If I set the device to silent it goes into Do Not Disturb mode which also stops me from getting ANY notifications on my Gear Fit 2 or other smart watches.
I want to get all of my notifications just like when the phone is in vibrate mode but I don't want it to vibrate. The vibration mechanism in this phone is super low quality and vibrates so loud on my work desk. Looking for a way to set the device to silent without turning on DND. I want notifications but no vibration.
Any ideas?

[MIUI 13.0.8] Mute notifications, allow calls

Heya,
so, as the title says, I'm having issues muting the notification and app sounds, while still allowing phone calls to get through and ring the phone out loud.
In the past, this was achievable by the Do Not Disturb mode. Right now however, it doesn't mute notifications anymore, as that is now done by the new "silent" mode. But that one also mutes incoming calls, which is completely unusable for me (I have occasional on-call nights when I need to be available on my phone, even if I'm sleeping, yet find the constant pinging of the apps super annoying).
The only working solution I found was to go into notification settings and block notifications from most of the very frequent apps... Which is annoying, as I also have to not forget to toggle the notifications back the next day.
Is there still a way to achieve the "Mute media and notifications, keep calls" combo in Android 12 + MIUI 13? Thanks!
On most phones the phone ringtone and notification volume is separate, is that not the case in your device?

Unfortunately not, instead, I have media, calls and alarm clock (as seen in the screen).
If I mute media, I still get notification and call sounds. If I mute the bell, I no longer get either. Dnd has no effect on the notification sounds.

This certainly sucks, can't every smartphone company share good things from each other instead of adopting all the bad changes. look around on Google maybe there are apps for this.

Hey have you found any solution? As I'm also struggling with same problem
It sucks, but until they fix it, you can use this app.
On the downside, it not only mutes sound, but completely mutes the notification including the badges , though. Anyone please post if you have a better solution.
i know im late. but i found a fix. (kinda) if you remove your notification sound completely. through settings, notifications and vobrations, notification sound and then while in the themes app. ringtone, and then no romg tone. even tho i thaught it changed the ringtone. if you go through settings first. ot will change the notification sound and not the ringtone. hope this helped
While waiting patiently for A13 ROMs for my current daily driver to mature a bit more I am using a silent audio file for the notification sound. I can't believe all these years MIUI still doesn't have an option to unlink calls and notification volume.
