Description
Android 5.0/5.1 Lollipop users: This app should fully silence your device, unlike the built in priority mode that Google replaced the normal silent mode with. However, with every manufacturer implementing the new volume/notification modes differently, the app might not work correctly on devices with 5.0 and above.
Are you tired of waking up in the middle of the night because you got a new text message or phone call? Silent Hours will mute the audio on your device every day during the periods you set.
Additional options for when sound is muted: - Mute games, music etc. - Enable vibration - Lock the volume to muted, to avoid accidental changes - Lower brightness to desired level (saves previous level) - Disable the notification light - Unmute the sound on incoming call. The sound will be muted again when the call is ended
You can also choose to mute games and music, as well as to enable vibration. The service keeps running even if you reboot your device.
You can also set a quick mute period, for unscheduled events.
Please note that if you set audio to be muted or reenabled before the current time, this will be done at the time you set, the next day.
Sleep tight!

No more forgetting I use this, so I don't need to manually silence my phone when I go to sleep and manually turn up the ringer when I wake up. It would be a perfect replacement for Moto assist if it sorted silencing during meetings and the option for anyone to "break through" the silence by calling twice within a few minutes.

Still works!!!! After upgrading to 5.1.1 simply clear the cache and data then set the hours you want silent. Worked like a charm, good luck.

It won't work on both of my phones (SG GT-i9505 running android 7.1.2 and Lenovo 5k running android 5.02) Activates silent mode, but doesn't deactivate it on next day.

Used to be ok I used to set this to have vibrated only mode during work hours. Worked fairly well, but if I went in later and turned on my phone after the start time (7:00 am), then I had to remember to set to vibrate manually. Now that I've upgraded to marshmallow, it doesn't work at all.
★★☆☆☆
Not sure what the options do. If I don't set options does it mute the phone? That appears to be how it works. If I toggle vibration I'll get a buzz to notify me of a missed call. There is no explanation for the toggles. What does brightness, lock, media, unmute and light do? The app appears to be well featured, and it seems to automatically turn my ringer off at night, which is want, so a star for that, and a star for being full-featured, but that's it. With everything else being a mystery that I have to figure out with trial and error, this app comes with built-in frustration. A simple explanation of that the toggles do would probably make this app five stars.
