Phone randomly muting - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someone tell me what I'm doing to cause my phone to randomly mute all notifications? It unmutes with a simple click up or down of the volume but isn't turned all the way down.
I've checked all the do not disturb settings and they are all off.

[Q] Vibration when battery is fully charged?

I just got my HTC One for Verizon. It's my first day of using it so it could be something else. But does it vibrate when the battery is fully charged? If so, is there any way to disable that?
Thanks.

Do you mean once it reaches full charge, it vibrates to let you know? If that's what you're asking, then no, it doesn't.
And you can disable all vibrations if you want to. I did!

Thanks! How to "disable all vibrations"? I already put the phone in slient profile. Isn't that enough.

I think for some things like messaging you have to open messaging app and turn on vibration in there.
but go into settings > sound and untick all things vibration related. phone calls, and vibrate on touch (soft keys) back + home

Vibrate mode not working

I feel like I have to be missing something dumb here. I can't get the G3 to be in vibrate mode and vibrate when I get a text or call. When I get the call the screen just lights up to the caller screen. It doesn't even vibrate when I have the ringer on. Under settings -> Sound, I have Silent mode set to vibrate then the Ringtone with vibration checkbox goes grey. This is what my sound settings are in the screenshot. What am I missing?

your not the only one i have missed quiet a few calls because this phone isnt vibrating
Good to know you are also having this issue. I just got it on Friday and I haven't dropped it. The phone won't even vibrate when I switch it into vibrate mode like my S3 did. It vibrates when I turn the phone off so I know that it can vibrate. It has to be a setting that we are missing. I am trying to stay away from a hard reset of the phone.
Settings-sound and click Vibrate. Turn strength up. I found it rather weak. So changed Vibration type to a loner ong and boosted strength some. Helps
idk. no problems on my side

It's not that. I already had that set to Vibrate. I get vibration from other apps like Facebook when I have a notification. I checked the default texting app and it's set to vibrate always.

What are your settings under sound? Could you send a screenshot?
Ok, now it seems to be working. I restarted the phone and it went through the optimizing apps screen. I wonder if it was having issues still after I tried switching to ART runtime. I switched it back to Dalvik yesterday but it maybe didn't optimize everything.
I've been having the same issue. It fixes itself whenever I restart but keeps coming back. I have the at&t version in case that makes a difference.

Having same issue, on rooted Verizon. That option stays grayed out...anyone find the answer to this?
I just updated to lollipop and I'm having the same issue. I can't get my texts or emails to vibrate at all. Picture in the first post is accurate for me. Vibrate mode active and notification and touch sliders are greyed out.

yup, that's the fix I also found for this problem. Restarting fixes it.
A new official update popped up two days ago and the vibration stopped working after it was installed. I tried rebooting, I even did factory reset, but still not working. Help?

Notifications on watch, Phone on silent or vibrate

Whenever I put my phone on silent or vibrate only, the watch doesn't vibrate for notifications either... is there anyone else experiencing this?
I am using it with a vzw g3
I am not experiencing this, but there is a setting in the Android Wear app to have watch only notifications when connected or both devices. Maybe try toggling that?

My understanding is that currently the watch will vibrate ONLY when the alert makes noise on your phone... let me see if I can dig up the article where I read that... but the article was more about not having the watch notify for certain notifications.
EDIT: Found it...
Little-known fact: Notifications will only cause your Android Wear watch to vibrate and light up if they'd also make a sound on your phone. If a notification is set to be silent on your phone, it'll show up and be available on your watch but won't do anything to alert you to its presence.

thanks!! but what about vibrate mode on your phone?
Another strange thing is.. when I select "notify on watch only" the phone goes into silent mode... And last time I tried, it, the notifications were not going off on my watch.

I would have to play around with it myself. I was just reading up on the Moto 360 when I came across that article so I am not sure about Vibrate instead of silent

Mute & Unmute

OK, if the watch doesn't make a beep, what's up with the mute/unmute option from the pull down?
That's my WTF moment with the 360.
Also, why it's the vibration so light? I missed so many notifications.
It mutes the vibration and stops cards from showing up.
Mute just means you won't get notifications from your phone. Yeah I was confused at first too.

Mute Sounds without Vibration?

Is there any way to mute all notification sounds without vibration? When I'm working I don't want my phone to make any sounds or vibrate while it's laying on my wooden desk. I'm coming from Samsung Galaxy devices and there was always an option to mute ALL notifications, sound and vibration. Am I missing something? Shouldn't have to turn on Do Not Disturb for something so simple that I'm sure many people use.

Lower the volume all the way down then push down again further and the phone will go into a full silent mode except alarms.

Why "shouldn't have to turn on DND"? What you want is exactly what DND does. No sounds and no vibration. You can even choose which notification can go through with priority mode

Yeah I agree. I use the DND toggle all the time right before I go into work. You don't even have to leave the lockscreen.

When DND is on do notifications still show on the screen? I'm asking because I've never used it, just always muted my phone.

They can if you turn off the option which blocks it. Look at the settings under "Block visual disturbances".

I don't understand why turning the volume all the down with the rocker turns on vibrate instead of just turning down the volume. DND presents you with a myriad of options that make muting your phone take more steps than necessary. My S7 had DND and I never had to use it, guess why? Turning down the volume actually turned down the volume and nothing else. I could even mute the phone with the screen off or locked so no I shouldn't have to use a "feature" that takes more button presses than necessary.

That's cool you could do that with the screen off. There's a couple simple ways to do DND from the lockscreen. One is double tapping the screen (or press power) and volume down all the way until you get to vibrate then press volume down again to mute which then turns DND on. You can also get out of DND with the volume button too. Someone mentioned this already. Or you can double tap to wake (Or press power), slide down the the notification menu, tap DND toggle. Both are not many steps really and no unlocking necessary.
