silent ringtone?

[Marco Magana]

I'm trying to silence just the ringtone but when ever I do that on the sound menu it silences all other noises such as notifications and system sounds. Is there any way I can just make it to silence the ringtone but leave all the other sounds? Besides just using a silent ringtone? Haha

Slide down the notification shade. You should have a slider to set the ringtone volume. Tap the gear icon at the right end of that slider. Now you can set the volume of ringtones, notifications, media and system feedback separately.

Activate GESTURES/ Silence Incoming Call.

Once activated. You could flip tp silence the phone once you see an incoming phone.

It doesn't work, every time I lower the ringtone volume it lowers everything else as well

It maybe isn't what your looking for but you could download a "silent ringtone" from Zedge and assign that as your ringtone.

I've noticed that when my phone is in silent mode my alarms don't go off.

chimpboy74, you must be on Lollipop (5.0), which means you are choosing Do Not Disturb, which also silences your alarms. (Don't ask why, but "silent" mode no longer exists in it's previous form). What you need to do in Lollipop is turn on "Priority" Mode. From your home screen, hit your volume button down and your volume adjustment will appear. Note at the bottom the three options - Silent, Priority, Off. Silent will silence everything (including alarms). Choose Priority instead and your alarms will still go off.

To adjust other apps and whether they are set as Priority, go to Settings, Sound and look under Notifications. You have the settings there for Apps - choose the app you still want to alert you even when you have everything else off, then choose Priority Notifications for it. That will allow it to still alert you during Priority mode.

You're right. Weird. I guess I never tried to silence only ringtones before.
