The quiet mode Lollipop Android 5.0, also known as the priority mode is confusing for many users. They also shout that they want back the silent mode. Actually, this brilliant, Google only puts him clearly enough.
Vroegâh: Freeze with volume buttons
Previously, the update to Android 5.0 Lollipop, it was simple to keep your device at night or day, to set the desired setting. Using the volume buttons could be selected for ‘silent’, ‘vibrate’ or audible alerts. This we for years and I used this option myself know, like a large part of the Android users. Android 5.0 Google suddenly came up with something new:. Customizing your reports for which terms like ‘silent mode’ completely disappeared
Also: Star in notification bar: this is the reason
No, priority and all
The names were changed and as we saw next to the option to vibrate the phone using the volume buttons and convert sound even options as to whether or not messages or ‘interruptions’ to to receive. It is “all” logical: all messages are displayed depending on the settings and played with sound or vibrate. The other two options provide the necessary confusion.
The new ‘Priority Mode’ is actually silent mode as we know from vroegâh. The priority mode is displayed with a star in the notification bar and has more features than the earlier silent mode. Only the new name and not always clear settings is it difficult to comprehend. By default, if the priority mode is on, all messages are displayed without sound in the notification bar, only the alarm will sound.
It is possible to messages or calls from contacts through, so that they do make a sound. You can choose to put your contacts to a whitelist or to make it possible that all of the contacts you have (awake) can call. An advantage of this mode is that the alarm is always goes off, this is not to turn off. Basically this is so silent mode, with additional settings
There is one difference with the silent mode of the past:. Notification LED is not used when this mode is enabled. In fact this is the only difference. The priority mode can also be switched on and off at set times

The new mode “No messages” does exactly what you would expect, let nothing come through, no phone calls, alarms or other notification. Again, this is completely new, it was previously only partially achieve by turning on airplane mode, but now you keep, if desired, be connected to Wi-Fi and mobile networks.
In fact, the design of the silent mode is improved, but Google has neglected to explain this clearly. If the ‘priority’ mode was received directly accessible through the volume buttons or the name ‘silent mode’ had been everyone was happy. Now, by the strange name and hid the bodies ‘normal’ user does not know how to find, one has the idea that Google has helped the silent mode to soap. In the video below explains Google’s indeed good, but it would not have needed that one is looking for a video.
Android 5.1: improvement coming
There are also many supplications and the rumors that the silent mode comes back in Android 5.1?. The following screenshot shows the new icons that are used in Android 5.1 on the Android One devices for emerging markets. Here we still see the names as before, but Google’s use of icons rather obvious attempt to make what is meaning. Here they are, in my opinion, not quite succeeded. I believe that the name should be changed and everyone is happy again.
I like it
For me it took some time for this process to fathom, but now I am an avid user priority mode, even if the naming is confusing. The extra options you have just means you have more options and more control over which messages or will not enter . Nevertheless, the name is confusing and a few new icons will not solve this, so Google, do your best, convince the rest …
