silent mode with no vibration only at night on Lollipop?

[azjerry]

I've searched and found plenty about silent mode and priority mode and interruption settings but haven't found my specific situation covered.

I have a profile that turned silent mode on at bedtime and turned it off in the morning. I do this because the phone (T-mobile Galaxy S5) buzzes everytime the wireless charging cycle starts. I don't want the phone to buzz while I'm sleeping but I do want it to vibrate during the day at the times I manually run the volume down to 0. I've been playing with the interruptions settings but can't seem to get anything to stick. Is what I want still possible on Lollipop and, if so, what am I dong wrong?

Just to clarify interrupt modes in Android 5 Lollipop:

1. 'Interrupt Mode: All' means allow all notifications.

2. 'Interrupt Mode: Priority' means allow only certain notifications that you set.

3. 'Interrupt Mode: None' means no notifications (not even alarms).

Interrupt mode is separate from Silent mode:

1. 'Silent Mode: Vibrate' means all notifications will vibrate, even notifications you have set not to vibrate.

2. 'Silent Mode: Off' means only notifications you set to vibrate will vibrate.

3. Lowering call and/or notification volume(s) to 0 is equivalent to setting 'Silent Mode: Vibrate'.

[I am new to Android 5 and the above 3 are based on my observations about how Silent Mode appears to work. Anyone please let me know if these observations are incorrect or incomplete.]

'Silent Mode' is also separate from 'Vibrate on Ringer' setting, and takes precedence over 'Vibrate on Ringer' setting.

If my observations are correct, then you probably want 'Interrupt Mode: None'. Keep in mind that this will prevent alarms also.

Before Lollipop, there were three Silent Mode states: On (no vibrate), Off & Vibrate and Tasker could could set any of them. I used Tasker to set Silent Mode to On and, I'm fairly certain alarms still worked. This functionally identically to manually running the volume down to 0 and then an additional press to turn vibrate off.  I'm looking for an equivalent to that.

Then what you probably want is something like:

* Interrupt Mode: Priority
* Silent Mode: Off
* Vibrate On Ringer: Off
* Default Ringtone: Ringer; Sound: Silent
* Default Ringtone: Notification; Sound: Silent

Nope, everything seems to be silent EXCEPT the bleeping wireless charging notification. That's the one thing I want silent at night: no sound & no vibrate. Ringing and text message notifications are OK at night because I rarely get one of those at night.

If your device forces a vibration when the battery is charged, then I'm not sure you can stop that in Tasker.

You can test by setting "Interrupt: None" (which should block all notifications) and then charging your battery.

If it still vibrates when charging is complete, then the "battery full" notification is bypassing Android's settings.

There are apparently lots of complaints about this problem.

Since my quest to get my current tasks (essentially turn silent mode on) working on Lollipop wasn't working I decided to step back and start from scratch.

Problem: when wireless charging starts on my Galaxy S5 the phone: turns display on, displays a special notification stating that and plays a special notification sound. While sleeping, I can deal with the display turning on and displaying a message but the special beep often wakes me up and I don't fall back to sleep easily. Problem is doubled since the same thing happens with my wife's S5 so solution needed for both phones.

Previous solution: manually mute the phone (no sound, no vibration) or use Tasker to turn silent mode on. Disadvantage is no altering of  incoming phone calls or texts but we lived with it.

Working solution: I found that setting notification volume to zero stops the start-of-charge sound but, surprisingly, still allows text message and ringing sounds through. Worked fine last night on both our phones.

I think, for me, blocking mode does the trick. I use Secure Settings to turn it on and off as needed.

Dumbest damn thing I've ever heard.  Even if you have an app specifically configured for no vibration, once you go into "All" notification mode, the phone vibrates.  Android really screwed up the notification system.
