Adjust volume
Your phone has independent settings for these volumes:
- Ringtones
- Notifications
- Media (music, video, games)
- Alarm
- Call
Adjusting one volume will not affect the others, so you can crank up the tunes without making incoming callers sound like they’re shouting.
Tips
- To switch to vibrate-only mode, press the Volume down button and touch
. You'll see 
. There is no silent mode. - To silence your ringing phone and stop its vibration, with your palm facing down, wave your hand over the screen. Or, press the Power or Volume down button.
- To silence your phone (no ringing or vibrating) for a specified amount of time, press the Volume down button, then touch None and set the duration (e.g. the next 30 minutes). Not even alarms will sound. If you always want to avoid interruptions during a certain time (e.g. every Tuesday from 11:00 to noon), use Downtime in your phone settings.
Use the Volume keys on the side of your phone:

- To adjust ringtone volume when you are not on a call or playing media
