How to enable silent mode in Marshmallow?

Since 5.0, it has been a painful to get to true silent mode with Android. If you press the volume down button all the way, it tuns into vibrate instead of mute. However, in the past, I can just click on the vibrate icon and it turns into silent mode. With Marshmallow though this trick no longer works. Are there any ways around it? I do not like or want the DND mode because I still want to know when my e-mails and other notifications are coming in, I just don't want my Nexus 9 to beep or vibrate when they do. Thanks.

Priority interruptions - Silent mode

Dear,

I got quiet some problems using the priority interruptions. Since i'm using the oneplus2 it's not working properly.
Before i got the oneplus2, i used the oneplus one without any problems.

I'm desperate looking for a solution to my problem.
When i slide my phone in to priority interruptions i want to become the following:

1. I only want to have the incoming phones from my starred contacts


2. I want my alarms loud (so i don't be late at work like i did the last weeks)


3. I want to mute the sounds from all other apps (like whatsapp, Facebook messenger,...)

So i made some screenshots of my settings as i think they are correctly set up! Problem is with these settings i keep getting the sounds of whatsapp and Facebook messenger (what quiet annoying is when somebody sends you a msg at 3 am...)

I'm hoping could help me with a solution!

Nexus 6 Stock Android with SuperSu 2.50 root silent mode toggle missing

Hi don't you guys know how to get silent mode quick toggle to show in the quicksettings menu?

Under System UI Tuner in settings it shows up as activated toggle in quick settings, but its not there.

Any tipps?

In 6.0, how do I put device on silent and still receive notifications?

Just like the title says, how do I mute the sounds on my Nexus 7 but still receive notifications in the notification panel? Right now, if I mute the device, it goes into "alarms only" mode and I don't get notifications.

Silent timer and similar apps doesn't work - hardware button responsible?

I tried using silent timer apps on my OP2 (rooted, oxygen 2.1) but they don't seem to be working (to automatically enable/disable silent mode at specific time). Is it due to hardware notification button or lollipop? Those app used to work fine on my previous phone running kitkat.

Is there any solution for this?

PS: Seems I've posted in wrong section, but can't find anyway to move or delete it. Mods, a little help please?
