Hi,

i like your app - but unfortunately it always tell me it can´t lock pics when they are stored on external sd Card.

I first Need to copy the files from external sd Card to phone storage - then it works.

Can you include locking files on external disks? Is it possible to add the ability to define where the locked files will be stored?

I would like to save them on my external sd Card as i can use the whole Memory depending on the Card and not being limited to the Memory in the phone.

C U

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themcfly:
So, before Lollipop we used to slide the volume down to zero to get in to vibration mode, and press another time to go complete silent.

I used to have my phone in silent mode at work, sitting on the table, because vibration on a table is pretty noisy. I just silenced it and the notification light showed me any incoming notifications.

Lollipop introduced this new "Priority Interruptions" mode, and if you don't have any interruptions set up it is basically like the old silenced mode. The issue is that in priority mode the LED notification light doesn't light up anymore!

So, any help replicating a completely silent and non-vibrating phone showing notifications through led?

Thanks in advance :good:

UPDATE:

If you use a third party app to light up the light while in priority mode, you have to enable his notification access:

Settings > Sound and Notification > Notifications Access > Check Lightflow/Light Manager Access

Also you need the

notification app itself

to be activated as a priority interruption:

Settings > Sound and Notification > App notifications > Lightflow/Light Manager > Enable Priority

Thanks to sorcio91 on figuring this out. :good:

Meanwhile we found out some apps don't obey to priority rules. Whatsapp is one of them, and also user naelya reports Viber is creating issues. If you find any issue with some other app let us know in this topic. According to sorcio91, dowloading the version at http://www.whatsapp.com/android/ solves the issue.

I have my phone on silent 24/7 and rely on notification light too.. Frustrating they removed a basic feature like putting ringtone/vibrations on silent only..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dunjamon:
Glad I'm not the only one having this issue. I use timeriffic to setup profiles, but it's pretty much useless now. At work I usually have my phone on silent and use my watch and notification light for notifications, but that doesn't work now. Looks like the final build is more of a nod towards the N6.

Will tasker get round this?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sorcio91:
I have a problem with that too....

And: with priority interruptions active, whatsapp continues to make sounds when notifications arrives...is for you the same? :confused:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themcfly:
Had the same issue on the developer preview, but i thought it was a preview bug at that point. Didn't receive many notifications in the last few hours, but i'll see if i experience that also.

Back on the notification light:

Is there anyway we can report back to google? But this is more of a feature request than a bug i think.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sorcio91:
Dear friend, i've just found a workaround...the version of whatsapp downloadble at http://www.whatsapp.com/android/ works well with lollipop notifications manager, but if you update or install it from the play store it will (in some strange way) bypass the notification manager and it will "ring" even in priority mode. :confused::confused::confused:

Let me know if it works for you...

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sorcio91:

Have you tried if lightflow or some app like that does the job for the notifications? :confused:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themcfly:
I just tried with a friend and Whatsapp rings full volume in priority mode, even if it's not set up to. That's strange, becasue I thought that ringtone volumes were blocked at system-level.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sorcio91:
Yeah, it should be...!!!! Damn, I don't want that some app wakes me at night because it could bypass the notifications manager :mad:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themcfly:
I use Light Manager but I don't think it's the app fault. The led does not light up even with in-app basic light settings. I wrote to the developer to know if he eventually can override that behavior (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56706374&postcount=2015).

I also have Lightflow PRO from the Play Store, but didn't have time to try that extensively. I doubt it will work though.

That's bad. But it's also possible that Whatsapp uses some deprecated code in the app development that results in this. It's not the first time that this multi-billion company shows examples of really bad app design...

Just click volume button, and there is priority mode. Just click first option! Or set priority mode. In priority mode you can turn on notification for like SMS, and turn of for incoming calls!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themcfly:
I know that you can use NONE, but that way also alarms are silenced. And in the morning I need to wake up to something :good:

By the way without any third party software you can't have notifications light up when in priority. Don't know if consider this an issue or an intended feature. By the way, with light manager, notification access is also enabled but doesn't seem to work anyway.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dunjamon:
I still can't get it to work. I have the full version of the app. I have it activated, no persistent icon (other than the L Preview one it puts on automatically) and then I have set priority mode on with no active notifications...but nothing lights up. :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sorcio91:
That is what i've done (in this order):

-Install Lightflow

-Settings->Sound and Notification->Notifications Access->Enable Lightflow (after the install, lightflow suggests you to do it)

-Settings->Accessibility->Enable Lightflow

-Settings->Sound and Notification->App notifications->Search for Lightflow and enable the "priority"

I use Italian as System Language, so the name of the settings could be a little different. Sorry for bad english, let me know if this works for you.

Ah-ha...got it! I was missing that last bit off. Now if they can just sort out the constant notification thing we'll be all sorted. Does Light Flow override the normal white notification when not in "silent" mode?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Osric Fernandes:
Maybe it's not that intutive, but you can always press any volume button, and on the volume slider, long press the bell icon to mute the phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themcfly:
For my experience, if you plan on using a third party app to manage the notification light, it's always better to disable the in-app setting to pulse light and set it from scratch in lightflow.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo_Shift:
I can't believe Google removed something as basic and necessary as a simple silent mode. Priority notification should have been another option, not a replacement.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themcfly:
That was true in Developer Preview 1, you could long press the bell or vibration icon to go to silent.

From Developer Preview 2 though, they implemented the priority interruption system, and you have no longer a silent setting, only vibration. Long pressing the bell is the same result as sliding the slider the left, it just takes you into vibration mode.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themcfly:
Actually the priority interruption mode is the same as silent if you have no app in priority, it should ring only if an alarm goes off. Going in to "none" mode disables the alarm also.

Priority it's like an advanced silent mode, where you can opt-out some app from being silenced. The issue is that we couldn't figure out how to have the led light up (but now it's solved) and now some apps don't obey to the interruption.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo_Shift:
Also, Google's own new messaging app ignores priority settings if you are in the app. I was getting sms notification sound at work while checking my messages... Kind of embarrassing.

Hello guys!!!

Last night I flashed stock 5.0 on my nexus 5, and after a couple of hours I returned to CyanogenMod 11, just because of this stupid notification thing!!!

I loved to let my phone on MUTE/SILENT and just see the notification lights!!!

I can't do this anymore with Lollipop!! :crying::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I hope CyanogenMod team will fix/add this again!!!!!!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themcfly:
did you check out the solution in the first post? It actually works. The problem is that now some notifications still sound in priority mode, but it's probably an app related issue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brun0ls:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paradoxni:
This is driving me insane!

I ONLY want alarm to waken me and NOTHING else. Phone is in priority mode. In priority settings I have disabled all options (alarms are always priority). Facebook messenger is still causing the phone to vibrate when I receive a message. I leave the phone on bed side table and vibrating makes a bit of a noise.

Surely there is an easier way to do this than to disable notifications for every single application on the phone!?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taycaycay:
Hi all

Is there any possibility to have my phone in silence (No sound and no vibrations), with the notification led working and my alarm one? :confused:

I've tried with Light Flow, which I used since a few years, and it's not working. Maybe I'm misusing the app, I don't know...

And by the way, is there any way to have a f*ck*ng toggle button to change from Silent (with notification led and alarm on), vibrate and "loud" ? I don't want to use the "up/down" volume button and after have to chose sound level and type of prioritization. I want to do it the notification space/desktop, like before with "Widgetsoid or Power Toggle" or whatever is working.

I'ts just crazy to have removed these possibilities and to have to use an 3rd part app to manage correctly that sh*t.

Sorry but I'm upset, I was enjoying changing to Lollipop in my Nexus 5 and finally it's just a big mess.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sorcio91:
Surely not :(

It's annoying...i know! If priority mode would work well, there would be no problems....but...some apps are overriding this thing in someway. :crying:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sorcio91:
The number of the notifications can be disabled in Lightflow at: Settings-> Persistent Icon

But the L preview message can not be disabled unfortunatelly :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taycaycay:
I've spent a few times searching for a solution, and I didn't find it, but I've better understand the "Google (il)logic"

What I want is to be aware of everything but without sound/vibration with led notification and with alarm-clock. That correspond to the new "All" mode but with no sound/vibration.

I don't care about Priority notification or whatever. The new menu is quite confusing, in fact it changes only the kind of notification you want to receive, not really the sound/vibrate settings.

"Priority" is only an "All" with some exclusion and "None" is more a "Put me in a black hole for a while without any distractions" than a real silent mode.

At the end I find it much more comprehensible, but for it should be 2 different settings.

On one side a "notification priority selector" and on the other side a "sound/vibrate" selector.

Can you tell me why the phone should be silent in vibrate mode with priority?

I mean, i set the phone to vibrate and only the apps i want can vibrate then.

Why should it be Silent???

I dont thinks its an bug of whats app and facebook messenger.

Nexus 9 can set silent and Nexus 6 have the active display...

Also i dont want to use an app which have to stay always active to work.

Maybe there will come an easier implementation i hope :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agtpirrone:
Also, this new priorit mode shows notifications in a funny way.. I like how the incoming calls don't interrupt you but man, whatsapp messages notifications are annoying. You have to swipe the notification and then if you want to read them open the app. You cant access the app from that toast. And then if you swipe it doesn't show under the notifications bar... so you have to open the app either from its icon or from the recent apps. Thats just not practical.

I need a silent mode that let notifications accumulate on the notification area.. and one that doesn't vibrate. Nothing more. I think I'm going to revert to KitKat until some framework app appears (or a ROM)

How to activate silent mode

I've been using this method for a day and seems to work. I use Power Toggles (Free).

If you add the Volume Toggle on your homescreen widget, you will able to activate silent mode.

Press it once and your phone will go into priority mode. Press it again and you should be in Silent Mode.

I have only tried this with Power Toggles but should work with other apps too.

Same problem here.

While in priority only mode, whatsapp rings each time.

This way priority mode is completely useless for me: I use it for work and at night, when I only want to be interrupted by phone calls coming from starred contacts, nothing else (that, and alarms). Instead I have to switch to no interruption :/

Whatsapp 2.11.432

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] django k:
The last two versions of WhatsApp (2.11.453 and 2.11.456) from their website don't obey android's silent mode. Strangely 2.11.448 which i also downloaded from their website but on November 18 does work.

Perhaps the first post should be updated.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy o:
It seems Google will not solve this, they've said to contact app developers. On one hand this sucks that functionally there's no way to get silent mode with alarms anymore, since priority mode is "working as intended" as per one developer at the bugtracker. On the other hand, if the app developers conform to this, then probably other longtime nuisances of these apps' notifications (like how Viber interrupted bluetooth media and didn't play notifications over bluetooth) will also get fixed and everything will be consistent. There is more chance now that they will conform, since this is pissing off a lot of people.

So to contact Whatsapp, actually go from within the app, the "help" section in settings has a "contact us" link. Viber has a form on their website that you can contact them through, and an actual human does respond, they said they were looking into it. I trust that these companies will fix their apps in due time, but what worries me more are Line and Skype, which don't really offer any kind of what can be called reasonable customer support.

Hey guys, the app Nights Keeper is actually working as true silent mode. It even has the functionality of an app that I was using on KitKat, Auto Ring, which gives you the "ring after X repeated calls" function (which iOS has itself) which IMO is better than priority mode. It even has a widget that's great for naps (pops up a timer when you activate it). The free version should work for what most of us want it to and then some, and the paid version is $3.

Hi guys, I've just reflashed KK because the silent mode is one of the most used features by me (almost 24 hours, duh).
