Silent mode (“Do not disturb” dot) is redundant with volume pop-up icon

  • /e/ version: 2.9
  • Device model(s): xz2c

Summary

Both notification dot and volume pop-up menu (latter is accessible while using volume keys) should function together and not contradict eachother. Alarms should function together with the “Do not disturb” dot setting.

Description

· Nowhere does “Do not disturb” dot allow to also disable vibration. · Fully disabling sound in volume pop-up menu also disables vibrating/sounding alarms.

What is the improved behavior?

· Probably, there should be a three-level dot as “Do Not Disturb” and no option at all while using volume keys (only volume control). · Also, disabling even vibration in volume pop-up icon should probably not disable vibrating/sounding alarms, especially when the latter is set up manually.

What does it bring?

Enhances ergonomy and makes operating system less confusing.

Mock-ups

· Nothing more than sound level appears when using volume keys. · “Do not disturb” dot has three levels (loud, vibration, nothing) and corresponding icons.

Examples

Diminish mental charge/ability needed to interact with /e/os.
