Imagine this: you are waiting for an important call with the ringer volume at maximum. You put the phone aside for two minutes, and when you pick it up, you find yourself missing that important call. How did that happen? You were right next to the phone, and it never rang!
This is just a situation that many other users like you may encounter. Even though the phone is not in silent mode, you miss the call for some reason and the phone goes into silent mode. It’s completely understandable how annoying this can be.
Are you facing a similar problem often? Let’s fix it.
Restart your device
As cliché as it sounds, reboot your device. Restarting is the magic potion that can work at any time. If your device still goes to vibrate or silent mode after reboot, move on to the next solutions.
Check the ringer volume
Android devices have four categories in sound settings — media volume, call volume, ring volume, and alarm volume. If you are using the volume buttons to change the volume, make sure you are increasing the ringer volume. In case it’s zero or the smallest, you won’t hear a chime.
To check if the ringer volume is turned on, follow these steps:
Step 1: Open Device Settings and go to Sounds/Sounds and notifications.
Step 2: Check the slider for Ringer Volume. It should be above the minimum.
Check Do Not Disturb settings
Do Not Disturb (DND) mode is one of Android’s best features. Using it, you can mute notifications without muting ringtones, enable priority notifications, turn off visual noise, etc. This mode also supports setting where it will be enabled automatically for certain things. ordered event.
If your device automatically goes into silent mode, do not disturb mode could be the culprit. You need to check your settings to see if any automatic rules are enabled.
To do so, follow these steps:
Step 1: Open device settings and tap Sounds/Sounds & notifications.
Step 2: Tap Do Not Disturb.
Step 3: This step may vary from device to device. You need to find a setting named auto rule, auto enable, schedule or something like that. Touch it.
Step 4: Make sure that no automatic rules are active. If a rule is active, turn it off.
Turn on Safe Mode
This is not a proper fix. That’s just one way to identify the problem. Basically, you need to boot your device in safe mode and keep it like that for 10-15 minutes. Safe mode disables all third-party apps on your device, making it easier to identify the problem.
If your device doesn’t automatically enable silent mode in safe mode, an app is responsible for the problem (more on that below). However, if the problem persists in safe mode, then the problem could be hardware related. We recommend checking your phone.
To enable safe mode, follow these steps:
Step 1: Turn off your Android phone with the power button.
Step 2: Once your device is off, press and hold the power button until you see the manufacturer’s logo.
Step 3: As soon as it is, release the power button and hold the volume down button. Keep holding it until the device boots up. You will be taken to safe mode identified by the word Safe Mode present in the bottom left corner.
Alternatively, you can hold down the power button until you see the Power off and Restart option. Touch and hold the Power off option for two seconds. A pop-up will appear asking you to confirm restarting in safe mode. Click OK. To disable safe mode, simply restart your device.
Uninstall recently installed/updated apps
If the device works fine in safe mode, a third party app is the culprit. Did you install or update any apps recently? First, check the permissions of all recently installed apps and disable any that have access to audio controls. If that’s too tedious, uninstall the newly installed apps one by one and see if the problem is fixed.
To uninstall an app or an app update, go to Settings, then Applications/Application Manager. Here, tap on the app that you want to uninstall, then tap the Uninstall button. Alternatively, open the Play Store and search for the app. Then press the Uninstall button.
Disclaimer:
You may be wondering how a third party app is responsible for the sound problem. Well, apps with different permissions can also allow them to change the device’s volume. So in this case an app might be accessing audio controls unnecessarily and possibly messing with your device’s volume settings.
Using third-party apps
If none of the above solutions fix the problem, try using third-party apps like App Volume Control and Tasker to set the default volume. That way, you can define specific volumes for different apps and prioritize notifications accordingly.
Words Are Gold
We hope the above fixes solved your problem and you no longer miss important calls. Speaking of important calls, if you manually keep your device on silent to avoid receiving notifications from apps, use do not disturb mode and its rules to indicate Enable call notifications.
Another way to mute notifications from apps is to separate the ringtone and notification volume, which are linked by default.
