Ringer mode changed from vibrate to normal when it shouldn't

Post by Scott » 13 Jan 2016 15:50

The flow shown below behaves strangely, as far as I can tell. When my ringer mode is silent, it works as expected; the sound file is played and the ringer mode stays "silent."

But if the ringer mode is vibrate, the flow never gets past the action that sets the notification volume. After that action, it splits into two conditions that check for silent mode and vibrate mode. Both come back "false" because the ringer mode has been changed (directly or indirectly by Automagic) to normal mode. The phone remains in normal mode after that.

Why is this happening?

I created a different version of the flow, and that one works properly. Instead of checking for normal ringer mode and proceeding if it's not, I split it immediately after the trigger into two streams that check for silent and vibrate mode separately. That version works fine and the ringer mode remains in vibrate, as expected.

I don't get it.

I've edited the flow and log to remove private information; the actual flow and log have real contact information, of course.

Re: Ringer mode changed from vibrate to normal when it shoul

Hi,

Android probably changes the ringer mode to 'Normal' when the notification volume is changed to 4. I think your flow that checks the ringer mode before it changes the notification volume is a good workaround.
Android seems not to do this for all audio streams. Maybe I could offer an option in action Notification on Statusbar to play the sound on the alarm stream which could work in this case.

Regards,
Martin

After more testing (which I should have done before even asking), I see you're exactly right, Martin. Setting the notification stream to 4 changes the ringer mode from vibrate to normal. And the "restore audio volumes" action sets it back to vibrate mode. Thank you!
