Update: this guide was written for Moto G, Moto E and Moto X, with KitKat 4.4. If your Moto G, Moto E or Moto X has been updated to Android Lollipop 5.0, and you want to silence Moto G, Moto E or Moto X, please check this new guide for Android Lollipop (which uses a a totally new notification and interruption system).
Have a problem to silence your Moto G?
There are 2 different methods to silence Moto G notifications and ringtones.
Sometimes, for example, in the library, you may want to quickly silence Moto G notifications and ringtones. If you want to know how to silence Moto G ringtones and notifications, this guide is for you.
Method 1: put your Moto G into vibrate mode
You can put Moto G in vibrate mode by holding down the volume button on the right side of Moto G until your Moto G vibrates.
This is the quickest way to silence Moto G. But you know the limitation: Moto G actually enters vibrate mode. It will not ring, but it will vibrate.
If you do not want Moto G to vibrate, use method 2 to completely silence your Moto G.
Of course, you should hold down the volume down button while Moto G is not playing music or videos. If the music player or video player is running when you press and hold the volume button, it will simply silence your music or video. It will NOT silence Moto G notifications and ringtones.
So, normally, you should exit music player or video player before holding the volume down button. After your Moto G enters vibrate mode, you can play music or video as usual. Vibrate mode is for ringtones and notifications only; it will not silence your music or video.
Method 2: Silence Moto G ringtones and notifications completely.
If you do not want Moto G to vibrate as well, in other words, silence your Moto G completely, you can put Moto G in silent mode.
Press and hold the power button until you feel a vibration. The following box will show up in the center of the screen:
Touch Silent mode to silence all sounds (including call and notification ringtones) except media and alarm (you must silence media and alarms in their own applications).
Of course, you can also put your Moto G in vibrate mode here by tapping the Vibrate button.
How to stop silencing Moto G?
You can stop silencing Moto G ringtones and notifications by tapping the volume up button on your Moto G.
Again, you should do this when you are not playing music or videos. Otherwise, it will only change the volume of your music or videos.
Of course, you can also use the Ring button as shown in the image above.
Why I can not find the Silent mode or Vibrate mode?
If you updated your Moto G to Android Lollipop, you will NOT be able to find the Silent mode or Vibrate mode. In Android Lollipop, a new notification and interruption system was introduced with three modes: All, Priority and None modes. Please follow this guide to silence Moto G notifications and ringtones if your Moto G is running Lollipop.
Do you have any problems to silence Moto G notifications and ringtones? Please let us know in the comment box below.

Peter Howard says
Is it possible to have the ring tone start softly then increase in volume?
simon says
Motorola removed the ascending ringtone long time ago. In Pixel phones, Google added this option. So it may go to stock Android in the future.

John G says
Well I never, ever got my phone to work as it was supposed to and decided to wait for the promised upgrade to Nougat. And wait, and wait, and wait.
And that never came either.
I like Moto phones but I hate Lenovo’s attitude to its customers and its secretiveness.
My new phone isn’t going to be a Moto and I just shied away from buying a Lenovo touch screen desktop even though the specs made it the best option.
simon says
It depends on what you want. Some features are available in the phone; some can be realized through apps.

Avinash says
Hi. In my moto c plus phone, whensoever any call comes. The screen remains off and locked too. Any suggestions hot to get rid of it?? Plzz
simon says
Incoming calls should NOT unlock the point. So, it’s normal.
Screen should light up very briefly when it rings. You can pick up the phone or motion is detected, it will then light up.

Seddon says
Hi I want to silence notifications for Gmail, Whats App etc on my Moto G4, but have the phone ring I cannot find this setting, is this this possible or do I have to have all alerts on vibrate or silence?
Thanks
simon says
You can set notification tone inside these apps. By default, these apps use the the default system settings. But most apps have own notification settings. For example, for Gmail, each account can has own notification tone. Open the app, tap the navigation menu (3 lines in top left), tap settings, tap one account, you can set notifications for this account. Once notification is enabled, you can set notification tone for this account.
You can also find notification tone settings in WhatsApp.

I want to reduce my notification volume without reducing ring tone volume.How can i accomplish it?
simon says
Moto G use the same volume settings for ringtone and notification tone. You cannot use different volume settings for them. But you can use different music file (with lower volume) for notification tone.

Is there a way to turn down the volume of the ring to even quieter than the factory setting for the lowest volume of ring? I’d like a quieter ring that is just above vibrate but below the next level of my Moto G2 and I already use quiet ring tones that I downloaded.
simon says
You can try to use your own audio file with softer sound.

What would be the most effective way to do that? I’m trying to use ambient noise that is seamless with what would be audible in the room anyway (car noise, sparrow, etc.) so that only I know my phone is ringing.

When I go to power off, the phone vibrates. I want to turn this off. Sure I can set to silence, but that also shuts off ringtones when using the phone. I just want to get rid of the vibration at power off.

Hi, I upgraded the android to Lollipop and since then I can’t turn off vibration. If I press the power button there are no other option then power off. If I press the volume button as previously there is no option to switch off vibrating either. The only solution to switch it in aeroplane mode but then I don’t receive any messages and emails. Please help because vibrating does a quite loud buzzing which is very annoying meanwhile sitting a meeting. Thanks!
simon says
If you press volume button, you can find the 3 options: None, Priority and All. Please check this guide on the new Android Lollipop notification and interruption system: http://gadgetguideonline.com/android/lollipop/how-to-use-android-lollipops-notification-and-interruption/
For vibrations, in Settings– Sound & notifications, un-check Also vibrate for calls.

I have exactly the same problem. I like to use my phone in bed, but the vibrations of the key pad input is very loud. This happens even when I am in silent mode, and also all vibration options are unchecked in settings-sound. It is very annoying and indiscrete, and it has always been like this ever since I bought the phone 6 months ago. I’m considering moving to a different brand of phone with a decent camera and ability to be silent for real.
simon says
Are you talking about vibrate when pressing the keyboard?
You can turn off vibrate on keypress in the keyboard settings.
It’s under settings – language&input- Google keyboard- preferences. You can turn off vibrate on keypress and sound on keypress.

Hi – my phone doesn’t go to Voicemail, it just rings out. I have set up the voicemail feature and done it again but no calls go to Voicemail. My phone provider cannot help so hoping you can? Many thanks in advance
simon says
you should ask your phone company to set up conditional (e.g., not reachable, or not answered after 5 rings…) call diverting/forwarding to voice mail.
Don’t mess up the call forward in phone app in your Moto G. Your carrier may not respect it at all.

download filemanager in app store… then copy the particular tone to phone memory.. and then in settings you can set that tone as ringtone… or install es file explorer, where you can select the tone and can set it as ringtone… 🙂
Irene McCormick says
Hi. I would like to stop my emails and other social media and text apps from pinging but still hear incoming calls. Is this possible? Irene
simon says
Of course, it’s possible. But there are a few possible scenarios depending on apps you are using.
You can set notification tone as silent on settings-sound.
Some apps may not respect this setting if they have their own notification tones. In this case, you have to set the notification tone inside these apps individually.
If you don’t want to get the text notifications from these apps, you can disable the notification from these apps completely in settings – apps.

Moto g – ringing volume reduces automtically when battery is low / calls are missed twice..how can this be fixed
beatriz says
I’m trying to silence my phone but when I press the power button, all I get of power off. That’s it! Is there any other way to silence the phone?
simon says
Very likely, your moto g was updated to lollipop 5.0.
You can use volume button to get the options. But it will be slightly different. You can choose none or configure priority.

Thank you! I’ve been very frustrated with this problem since I updated last week. It’s taken me days to find a forum with the answer.

Facebook messenger notifications cause a vibration that has no method of switching off on this phone. All normal vibration modes are switched off …
simon says
Inside the app, you can find the settings to disable it. This is app specific settings and therefore you should check the settings inside the app.

You can try to backup your data and do a factory data reset.
If factory data reset doesn’t help, you need visit motorola service centre to check the phone.

Not sure. Maybe it is due to some other apps or settings.
If you really want to try, you can try to reboot the phone into safe mode to see whether you have the same problem.

what do mean? reboot into safe mode?
simon says
Yes, reboot into safe mode to see whether the problem is caused by third-party apps.
To reboot Moto G into sage mode, you may: press and hold the Power button, tap and hold Power off option, you will then be asked whether you want to reboot the phone into safe mode.
Once in safe mode, you can check the phone whether still have the same issue.
You can reboot normally to exit safe mode.

Hi simon…I have a moto e with me…I have installed the fb messenger in it…but its notification tone is inaudible when the phone is locked..(without any pattern or pin).. It just vibrates. Sometimes when m using my phone also…the chat head will appear but there is no tone… I tried everything…matched the settings of messenger with a samsung phone in which it is working.. But still it is not working… I tried changing the motorola internal sound settings but nothing happens. Couple of my friends have moto e and I asked them…they even got the same prob. I was thinking is it because of stock android?? Please help me
simon says
All the settings are inside the app itself except the volume. For volume, you can go to settings – sound – volumes. You may also turn off audio effects.

Is there a way that the screen lights up when a text has been recieved? I’m sure I had it before but I must have clicked something to turn it off plz help!

I think this corresponds to some accessibility settings in most Samsung phones. It is designed for people with hearing difficulties.
I don’t think Moto G have this. Maybe some apps can do this.

Hi,
I purchased a moto G (2nd Gen) on 17th oct ’14 through flipkart.com.
currently I am facing this problem,
during an incoming call, if my earphone is connected to my phone,it is not ringing through loud-speaker (Actually it is ringing through loudspeakers ,but in almost inaudible volume ). Could you please tell me the reason behind this ?
And could you please tell me how to ‘activate’ the loud-speaker properly ?
simon says
I think this is normal. If you at using headset, the sound should go to the headset including ringtones.
Does it ring through your ear phone?

Anindya says
Thanks four quick response.
See, the problems are as follows,
1. The volume (through loudspeakers) in which the phone is ringing while Motorola earphone is connected is varying from ringtone to ringtone ( e.g. when “moto” ringtone is selected, the volume is a little bit higher than in the case when “simple” ringtone is selected. ) . but still the volume is almost inaudible. Like, I have to place the phone near my ear to, actually confirm that , “yes,it is ringing !”. That’s why previously I thought, the loudspeakers are remaining inactive while ringing. Now,this was the case when Motorola earphone was connected.
2. But, when I connected my Nokia earphone to my mobile the case was totally different. The ringer volume from loudspeakers was very good ( exactly as it should be) .
But in case of Motorola earphone, why the volume is so low ?? Almost inaudible ??
simon says
I think it’s normal if your earphone is connected. There is no reason to ring through the speaker if earphone is inserted. This is my understanding.
Nokia earphone is slightly different from others.

Touch and hold the volume down button until you feel the vibration. The phone now is in vibration mode.
To exit vibration mode, tap volume up button. The volume level will be shown on the screen.

Hi, i think my issue is an android issue but i hope you can help. Is there a way to make the volume control (or other control) silence EVERYTHING? playing a youtube video whilst on silent mode still plays out loud, this is counter-intuitive to me (not to mention embarrassing when my phone blasts out on a quiet train!)

Settings – sound -volumes. You can set volume for media, ringtone and alarm individually. The silent mode is for notification/ringtones only.

Because you chose “always”, it uses the app without asking you to select each time.
You can clear defaults in settings – apps – es file explorer.

Two months before I bought moto e mobile. Past one week I’m facing minizing option problem. when ever I minimize the application or web page.I’m not able to redirect because it directly going exit. Please give me solution for this
simon says
There is no minimizing option on android.
The back button usually brings you back to the previous page, for example, chrome browser. But some apps may just exit. It fully depends on the implementation of individual apps.
The home button is trying to push the app into background. Some apps may continue to run in background. But most will exit. Android tries to cache them in ram if the ram is enough so that you can open it faster and start from where you exited. Of the ram is not enough, android has a algorithm to close some apps to free some memory.

My moto g has suddenly stopped making sounds. The alarm sound works, but the ringtone, and alerts do not. I see on this forum that I can unsilence the phone by holding down the power button and the putting finger on the mute button. When I hold down the power button I see the mute has a slash through it and a blue line underneath. When I put my finger on this the screen goes black and I am back to home page. Tapping the volume up key does nothing.

Did you check the volume at settings – sound?
You may also try to turn off the audio effects in the same setting page.

The ringtone volume on my Moto g randomly goes to silent mode. This is causing me to miss calls and messages. Do you have any idea why this is happening? Is there any way to lock it on?

There is no way to lock it. When the volume down or up button is pressed, it may change the volume of ringtones. You may enable vibration together with ringtones so that you can get notified easier when it’s in the pocket of on the table.

Hi,
How can I stop sound notification from app like news app, whats app, hangout at the same time keeping the mobile in ringtone mode? Is it possible?
simon says
Settings–apps, find each app that sends annoying notifications, uncheck “show notifications”.
You can also set this once you receive the notification. Tap and hold the notification, then tap app info, you will be directed to the app details page. You can then uncheck show notifications.

In addition to settings in People and Phone apps, some settings in Motorola Assist may also cause such behavior.
You may deselect (uncheck) all options in Meeting and sleeping assist to see whether it works.

I generally put my mobile on silent mode while sleeping and also set the alarm for morning. In the morning the alarm rings but for couple of days I’m experiencing a strange behaviour. The speaker doesn’t work , rather any sound output device doesn’t work. Then I have to restart my mobile to bring it to normal.
Any solution is appreciated.

hi Simon!
ya, if i choose vibrate for short or long, then when my phone is in general mode it vibrates then also. and if i choose default then it vibrates too. i want my phone to vibrate only when it is in silent mode, and otherwise i don’t want it.
simon says
I don’t think you can configure it without using third-party apps.

Where at the default notification sounds stored? When I connect my mob to PC I can’t find those tones?
simon says
You cannot find it from your PC, because the folder is not mounted when connecting through USB.
You can check it in ES File explorer (read this guide on installing and using this app : http://motoeguide.com/moto-e-guides/manage-files-moto-e-es-file-explorer-file-manager/ )
The pre-installed notification tones are stored in the folder of /system/media/audio/notifications (ringtones, alarms …are all saved in the similar location under audio)

I have turned off all notificaitons but i would like to see how many emails / watsup messages / facebook messages have come! Earlier phones used to display the count on top of the icon in red (small bubble) but i am not able to get that option in Moto G. How can we enable it? i dont want to check each account manually everytime but i also dont want notificaitons
simon says
I think the best solution is to turn on notification, but set sound as none and un-check vibrate.
For email, whatsapp, or messaging, you can add widgets to your home screen so that you know the latest contents immediately.
BTW, in Moto G, email or messaging apps won’t display the number of un-read messages.

Very likely, the sound file does not exist.
In your message app, tap the menu key, tap settings. In notification section, make sure notification is checked, tap the sound, then choose one sound file.
You may also check system settings at Settings–Sound. Under system, tap Default notification sound, choose a sound file that exists.

I would like to know how to shorten the length of time the ringtone for a call or message rather than it having play the whole song? Also, I know that there are notification displays at the tope of the mobile but I would like a message to display on the home page itself – is this possible?
simon says
For the call, the length is determined by your carrier. If you don’t pick up the phone, it will play the ringtone for a specific time set by your carrier.
For the notification tone for the messages, you need choose the short ones or provide shorter MP3 files.
To display message on home screen, you can add the messaging widget. It is resizeable.

Hi,
When i am typing any password to unlock the phone / entering any message it is taking 2-3 seconds to complete the action..is there any problem in my phone.Generally after typing how much time it will take.

2-3 seconds are probably in the high end of normal response time. Normally it should be less than 2 seconds. Does a reboot help?
But this also depends on many factors. Sometimes, cleaning background apps/processes may help. You may try Greenify app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify).

Hi Moto mates I want to share an application that will help the moto g to enhance its sound profile functionality.
‘Smart Sound Profiles’ is an app in play store that provides you many more functions for ring tones, vibration, notification etc. Most of them are not inbuilt. And the best part is that you can control the notifications at the app level ie can customize the notification behavior for each app separately.
Although this app has a trial version for 10 days but if you found it useful you can go for the full version as well. Hope it will help.

To be honest, I never notice the sound. You can reboot the phone to see whether it comes back.
But if it can charge normally and works as expected, you probably don’t bother about it.

(Its all around the latest version of Facebook app)
– Open Facebook app
– Click on the right most tab (out of 5 tabs) named as ‘More’
– Scroll down to ‘Setting’ section
– Click on ‘App Setting’
– You will get a ‘Vibrate’ option under ‘Notification Settings’ there with lot of other options
– Use ‘Vibration’ option as you wish and enjoy.

I am interested to know the way to disable the vibration of all apps in the normal (ringer only) mode without disabling them permanently in the settings of each app.
I want the phone to vibrate only when its on vibration mode or ringer + vibration mode. I am asking it because my previous Samsung duos behaves in this way.
simon says
I did not get it. By default, most apps don’t vibrate your Moto G. Do you mean notification? It is under Settings–Apps–sound–default notification sound.

Sunil Chauhan says
Thanks for your quick reply Simon. My concern is that if vibration is selected in a particular app’s setting for notification purpose it should vibrate the phone during the notification only if phone is on –
1. Vibration Mode or
2. Ringer + Vibration Mode.
This is because, for instance, if you have put your phone on normal Ringing Mode at your home and notification vibration is ON suppose for a particular app. Your phone might be damaged accidentally due to falling down from a table or so. And to solve this issue we have to toggle the vibration settings again and again within the apps (eg. Facebook, whatsapp, hangouts etc) . As most of people use the vibration for outdoor purpose or in the silent place sometime.
simon says
I got your points, but unfortunately, most android phones don’t work that way. Maybe, you can check whether there are some third party apps for this purpose.
