Interruption mode?

@pepporony: yup
There's a relatively easy way to do it.
1- Go to Settings> Sound & Notification> Interruptions> Priority Only
In here, you customize the settings for the Priority Only mode (see point 3-)
2- Check Incoming Calls and uncheck the rest (or however you want it set up)
3- Back to home screen, bring down the notification panel, tap on All Interruptions, which will turn to Priority Only.
Done.

it works, :good:

Alternatively, you can set system sounds to silent (settings -> sounds -> volume). That includes notifications, annoying boot noise and audio touch feedback.
I don't know what else it turns off, but whatever it is, I don't miss it.
With this approach you can keep the priorities logic intact.

Permanent Fix for no sound reminder (WM6)

Someone drop the ball when they released this rom and placed the reminders in the vibrate profile in lieu of the normal profile.No regedit and switching around profiles needed. This work for me.
Fix:
-Go to settings and then profile.
-Down to vibrate and hit menu on the soft key, choose edit
-Down to reminder type
-Change it to play sound or whatever you want, hit done.
Next
-Down to reminder volume and change it from off to whatever number you want (The higher the number the louder the reminder sound)
-Press done until you are back at the home screen.
You can check this by creating a reminder or go to settings/sound and scroll down to reminders, press menu and play.
Uh, I just tried it. Yes, it does make the reminders have sound, but it also makes reminders have sound when you're in the vibrate profile
It's the same effect as switching the normal and vibrate profile.
You're correct. I suppose this is not a permanent fix afterall.

Vibrate for emails and text (no ring)

I have googled and searched the forum, but I don't seem to find a right answer for this. All I want to do is when I put my phone on silence mode. I will still receive vibrate notification for emails and texts.
I tried to download the tools from the market and played with the setting for hours. I still cannot get it to work.
Someone please help!
so you want it to make no sounds ?
you don't need any fancy tools>>
just settings > sound> general> silent mode
and settings > sound> general>vibration> only when not in silent mode
you can probably get most behaviors by messing with those 2 settings combined with phone ringtone and notification rintone you should be able to make it do whatever you want without any other software
if you just want to kill the phone ringer but leave notification vibrations
then vibration only in silent mode
turn off silent mode
and set the phone ringtone to silent
and turn down the volume all the way

Thanks but it is not working for me. I still can't get vibration for emails or texts... I don't think it's a hardware defect.. but it is not working for me....

Facebook notifications

Is anyone else experiencing issues with push notifications on our device i have never had one on stock or cyan has anyone got it to work???
Notifications show up on my lock screen but no alert or sound to tell me that they have arrived?
Go to the main screen where you can access your news feeds,profile,friends,chat,messages etc and press the menu button to get into settings.
Once there turn on anything you want to be alerted for and set a ringtone for it.

are you sure you click on a ringtone not "silent" one? and check your ringtone noise in the sound settings in the actuall settings app.

Tasker to turn on do not disturb?

Does anyone know how to set up a task to turn on do not disturb, or priority only, or whatever it's called? Coming from htc, you could just tell tasker to turn the volume all the way down or turn on silent mode. Can't seem to duplicate that on the g4. I'm using smart settings now, but the results are inconsistent.
i think you need secure settings (plugin, playstore) to archive this
In Tasker, there's an option for Audio > Interrupt Mode - in there you can choose Priority or All. This should do what you want.
I have Tasker setup to mute the phone just before and just after the "battery full" sound plays, as it cannot be disabled (without root).

Perfect, thanks. And I was using a task to turn off the battery full sound also, until I realized that I can just keep the volume level for "touch feedback and system" all the way down. That gets rid of the battery full sound along with some of the other ones that were bothering me.
My favorite g4 tasker workarounds are to set up a task to turn the volume all the way back up again after I plug in headphones and it automatically turns down the volume "to protect my hearing", and adding an icon in the status bar whenever it's charging because I need a visual confirmation that it's still plugged in and I can't make out that lightning bolt in the default battery icon.

Vibrate Only Mode?

Hi,
So I've had the phone for a couple days now, and I love it. But today I received the nougat update and I have one little (major) issue:
When in any of the none-silent notification modes, it's set to ringer only. I used to have it on vibrate only, mostly in priority mode with vibrate, so it wouldn't ring. How do I get this back? Putting the volume all the way down doesn't change it to vibrate anymore, and nor does tapping on the actual bell icon.
Thanks
I have the same problem. After update I accidentally turned volume up and now I can't turn it back to vibrate. My level of sound stops at 14% and I can't make it vibrate-only. Any ideas?

Put the alert slider to the top position

This doesn't solve the issue. You still can't have the phone vibrate to only priority notifications.
With the slider on the top position (with vibration enabled in the settings) the phone will vibrate for every notification. And if you want to switch to a "drop dead" mode with no notifications at all you would always need to go in the settings to change the vibration option of the silent profile.
Major step back by oneplus.
I want that exact same thing too. So:
Silent - silence all except alarm (with option to vibrate)
Do not disturb - all the current options + option to vibrate for the ones enabled and no sound
Ring - standard mode. Sound for all + option to vibrate.
It's strange that they've missed such a common feature.
The functionality is moved to slider now. Turn the slider all the way up to silent mode and press the grear icon to select the vibration option.
Easy. Love it much more now.

Such a glaring omission by OnePlus.
I have solved the problem by installing Ringer Modes. This app allows you to put a tile in your quick settings that will change ring modes, including Vibrate mode!

That's not an omission. That's how it's meant to be in Nougat update. Now people will actually use the Alert Slider more often.
Personally, I love this implementation much more than before.

This seems to be terrible functionality to me. With my old Nexus phone all I needed to do was 1) Hold the Volume Down button and it would go into vibrate only mode. All it took was one button click. Now you are saying I need to: 1) Move the Alert Slider 2) Click the gear 3) Enable vibration 4) Exit out of settings page to continue what I was doing.
Four steps whereas before it only took one. That is a enormous step back in functionality in my mind.

You only have to do it once, brother Once the slider is set to vibrate on silent mode, you only have to touch the slider. It's quicker than 'holding' the volume button.
Cheers.

Actually, you're right. I just tried that and it works. Now that I think about it I'm not sure why I originally assumed I'd need to select vibrate every single time.
Not bad at all just a little different than I'm used to.
I don't understand the functionality, can you explain again?
When i have vibration enabled in silent mode, how do i quickly enable and disable vibration? (before all I had to do was move the slider)
I think LOS roms still have the feature that you need
