Adjust Volume and Switch to Silent Mode the Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Trying to find out how to quickly mute incoming ringing by flipping the device.

Trying to find out how to quickly mute incoming ringing (by turning phone over like S2), which mutes the ring tone but does not end the incoming call. Any suggestions?

Go to your Settings and turn on "Motion Sensors" on your device. Now you can adjust all your options on "Motion Sensors".

The volume on my apps will stay on, even after I've muted the phone. Is that normal?

App has button sound when I have put phone on mute. How do I silence all the sounds on my phone?

You can do this by visiting your Settings>>>Sounds>>>Volume>>>. Here you can turn down the volume individually on your device for the apps, notifications or phone.

Galaxy Note3 seems to change from "mute-vibrate-sound" without any input from me.

I can't keep it locked in one position as it keeps changing when handling the phone without touching any of the buttons. Any ideas? See above, explained in detail

This is a hardware issue on your device. It happens sometimes when there's been water damage done to a phone. Perhaps it got wet, but still worked, and you thought it was okay. Take your device to a service center in order to get help with this situation.

How do I remove silent mode on my Note3?

The phone is silent regardless of volume settings

You will need to do the following:

• Go to settings by taping the menu button on your home screen. If you're unsure where to find the menu button, CLICK HERE.
• Go to "Audio Profiles".
• Tap "General".
• Test the volume to see if it's functioning properly.
• You can also drag down the notification bar and tap the quick settings and untap silent mode.

My Note3 keeps going to mute on its own.

I just noticed that my phone was on mute. So I activated Sound and it went right back to mute Repeatedly. Same when I select vibrate. Can you help?

It may not just be the mute button that you need to adjust. You may want to check the "Alert Settings" on your phone and see the combination you've made there. If a certain profile is activated, even if you've taken your phone off mute, the setting of that profile will still be obeyed. Therefore, you have to make the corrections from there.

How do I set the volume button to turn down the ringer?

It used to be that I could turn down the volume and the volume on the ringer would turn down, and I'd click it again and it would be silent, with no vibration. Now it's only turning down the media. I have to hit the settings button next to the volume screen that pops up. How can I put it back the way it was?

If you're listening to music or watching a video, the volume buttons will adjust the media volume. If you pause the song or stop watching the video, the volume buttons will automatically go back to adjusting the ringer volume.

Actually I just switched from the iPhone to Galaxy . How do I "mute my voice", for conference calls?

My Samsung Galaxy Note3 was upgraded and there isn't a mute option where it used to be (with the airplane mode, power and restart options).

How can I get the original option menu back without losing all my data and photos, etc. I have tried: Turning the device on and off. I think it was caused by: Updating the device, and now there is no mute option.

Need help trying to figure out incoming ring.

Checked all the settings - all the ring volumes are up. Do Not Disturb is turned off. Yet, all calls go to voicemail and the phone does not ring or give any notification of a incoming call. I have tried: Checked all setting and cycled everything. I think it was caused by: No idea. Just stopped ringing.

Seems to be a common problem. Try any of these suggestions:

1. 1
   Make sure you aren't connected any accessories, and they aren't connected to you

   .

   Whether wirelessley, or not, you need to disconnect immediately. Check the ring tones again.
