I'm having a weird problem that I can't find a solution anywhere for. I leave my phone on vibrate at work, and on mute at night. However, the phone returns back to sound enabled by itself. I change the settings to mute/unmute through the Quick Settings menu at the top. It will change this while the phone is locked and sitting on my desk.
I've tried searching and disabling everything and have had no luck.
Disabled Volume Rocker (Media Only Now)
Disabled Smart Stay
Disabled Easy Mute
Disabled Do Not Disturb mode
Changed Do Not Disturb Mode Schedule to One Day only, and then disabled
Any one have any ideas? I can't find a trigger, and it seems to be random. I will go to unlock my phone and it will be un-muted. Or, I will have a notification go off that will make a sound, and the phone is obviously un-muted. I've found other thread where people experience the issue, but no fix.
Having the same problem with an RCA android tablet which I use strictly as a security dongle. No luck getting the sound to stay turned off here either...

I have a very simple profile set up to put my phone in silent mode during certain days and times. The profile is being executed as expected. I can go into Sound menu on the phone and see that the phone was put into silent mode. However, the silent and vibrate icons are not displayed in the notification bar. Even more troublesome, is that the phone wont actually vibrate when I get a call or notification. If I manually deselect and select silent, I will see both icons and the phone functions as expected. Is there perhaps some bug in Tasker that is not handling this correctly?
My phone is the Samsung Galaxy S2, rooted running Unnamed rom.
BUMP....sorry to bump this but was wondering if anyone has experienced this issue?
More information: I downloaded Sound Manager which is an app that shows the status of the various volume & vibrate settings. After Tasker has executed the profile to put my phone into silent mode, I used Sound Manager to doublecheck my vibrate status, and both calls and notifications are set to not vibrate at all even though in my phone settings I have vibrate on silent. When I change the call and notification vibrate settings in Sound Manager to vibrate on silent as well, I see the appropriate icons . This tells me that Tasker is doing something wrong when setting my phone to silent.
Any ideas?
I am having a similar problem
I set the "silent mode" to "vibrate" (in tasker) but I get an icon of silent instead of vibrate.
Same problem here, tasker puts phone in silent mode bud doesn't enable vibration (manually setting silent mode in statussbar works fine) looks like tasker bug to me.

Rom: KI4 rooted
EDIT:
HA! Found it! Silent Mode in tasker doesn't have 2 modes (ON and OFF). Instead it has 3 (on, VIBRATE, off). Set it to VIBRATE and you ar back in bussiness
Checked it - works. If others confirm we can mark this one solved
I have a very similar issue. I have a profile that is triggered when I am near two cell towers at my work. The actions put the Phone Ringer to volume 0 and enable vibrate, and I see the vibrate icon in the notification tray, but I've tested calling myself from my office phone, and the phone still rings at normal volume.
I'm using an LG G3, rooted and running stock ROM, Android 5.
similar issue for meI have a profile that activates when my phone sees the wifi at work will set the phone to silent mode (3 – vibrate). It works fine when I first get in as it will vibrate, but then after some unknown amount of time it will set the ringer back to wherever it was (like it exits the profile) but the profile is still active in tasker. If I manually reexecute the profile it will stay in vibrate the rest of the day. Ideas?
Been using this very nice phone for a couple of weeks now and loving it. Got checkrom v4 on it and it is running nice, with one issue.
I use silent mode when I am at work, so as not to annoy my office mates, with it coming on automatically using tasker. When I leave it is turned off, and audible selections is activated in the settings even though it was of before entering silent mode. Does this happen normally our have I stuffed something up in tasker? If it happens normally is there a way of preventing this?

I don't use tasker but not sure about that but when I put the phone on silent the touch tones remain silent.
You may also want to go into settings / sounds and lower the system volume which also lowers that. I find that the stock touch volume is too high.

Hmm maybe I phrased it wrong. I have the audible selections unchecked before I put silent mode on, then silent mode comes on, and they stay unchecked, but when silent mode turns off they become checked again. Its not a big deal to uncheck it but it just annoys me (yea I know first world problem!)
Might see if I can turn down the stock volume to minimal for this and see if it makes a difference, probably the simple solution to the issue (can live without touchtones on the dial pad).
Hi,
I have the annoying problem that my s2 turns off vibration mode when put to silence. If you manually go under settings->sound->silent mode and put that to 'vibrate' it works for that time being. But the next time, it all go back to no-vibration mode.
Looking at my friend phone(s2), he got the option of two different mode of silent when using the volume up/down. One with vibration and one without.
I honestly don't know how to fix this very annoying problem. I just want the vibration to be active at all times!
Any hints that can point me in the right direction?

just change your settings to mute ringtone and media volume for a diffrent profile that you dont use
I tried that, and it doens't work.
I've also reset to factory default, with no luck.
In fact, when I put my phone to silent and manually go to settings to put on vibration( I can see the vibration icon on top). It still does not vibrate on notification, ringing nor sms. But strangely from third party application it vibrates, like whatapp messenger.
vibration work when I have sound on.
So the problem is that when I put it on silent it automatically turns off the vibration mode.. and when I manually put silent mode to vibration, it still doesn't vibrate, only on 3rd party apps..
It sounds to me that this is some software issue, but can't really seem to find any solution to this very annoying problem.
Anyone?

I have factory reset my phone several times, with no luck. It sounds to me that this is some software issue, but can't really seem to find any solution to this very annoying problem.

I have been struggling with this issue for weeks (months?) now, but my irritation with this issue has finally reached a tipping point.
Simply put, my phone will automatically mute the volume on the Ringtone, Notification and System. I will turn on the volume and things will be fine, but after a few minutes I will check my phone and it resets these volumes back to 0. In an effort to find the culprit, I have been methodically removing or disabling apps and features to see if any of them are taking control of this and so far, no luck. I'm about ready to do a factory reset on my phone, but before I went to the nuclear option, I wanted to see if anyone can help me out here. Any thoughts/suggestions?
P.S. Here's things I have investigated;
- Do not disturb settings are completely OFF.
- I have removed or disabled all volume control apps that I can think of from my device.
- When I restart my phone (even when the volume is normal), when the phone comes back online the volume of these three settings is back to zero. So whatever is happening also happens right as my phone starts up.
