When you turn sounds off if would be nice to have an option to also turn vibration off.

Like in android you can select between mute, vibrate only and sounds on.

When I put my phone to my bedside desk it would be nice to have phone completely silent.

Maybe the way who its works its lock screen, volume up and down. Old N9 i use daily this feature, and usually i do in lock screen. press once power button and then volume up or down that all.

The likely eventual solution for this would seem to be https://together.jolla.com/question/4155/vibration-settings-for-ambiences/

Ah, would be great if ambiences had more features.

Sort of related to this, I want to be able to have the typing feedback sounds/vibration be muted automatically in silent mode as well (without having to go turn them off manually in settings). Like if I'm typing at night in bed or in a meeting, I want it to make absolutely no sounds.

In system settings - Sounds and feedback - Vibration there are 4 options:

  1. Always

  2. Only when silent (vibration is on only when you silence the sounds)

  3. Only when sounds on (vibration is on when sounds are on and vibration is off when sounds are silenced) - this is the option you are looking for

  4. Never

The inconvenience of this menu is to access to it, it should be an shortcut to enable or disable vibration mode. I'd rather have as in Nokia Belle, an drop down menu for those options.

  1. List item

    I did like the old N900 app Timed Silencer. That one with vibration on/off feature would be a killer.

Currently, the only limitation on SailfishOS (1.1.9.28) is that you can't have two loud ambiences with and without vibration. But in silence you can.

There are four options in Settings:

  • Always
  • Only when silent
  • Only when sounds on
  • Never

If you want loud ambiences with vibration you choose Only when sounds on, so you will have:

  • vibration silent with non-zero volume and "No Sound" for ringtones
  • no-vibration silent with zero volume (silent mode)

With these settings the silent indicator implies the mute mode.

If you want loud ambiences without vibration you choose Only when silent, so you will have vice versa:

  • vibration silent with zero volume (silent mode)
  • no-vibration silent with non-zero volume and "No Sound" for ringtones

With these settings the silent indicator implies vibration too.
