Hi Bgvasile1,

Welcome to the community,

How are you trying to set the mode to Silent mode?

Can you give me the method you are using.

I always use the same with previous versions. I push volume button, then appear on screen volume level and there with one push i had "vibrate", the second " silence", also like that i come back on "ringing".
Now i tryed in settings /sound&notification / ring volume and there also i can select only ringing or vibrate, silence is missing

I just updated to 6.0.1 on my Z3. I am having the same problem. The silent mode, and the exception of allowing incoming calls is the mode I need to use at night. Can this be put back on the phone? Does "do not disturb" do the same thing?

OK - just figured out that "Do Not Disturb" effectively replaced the "Silent". Accessible from the full pul-down menu.

Hi, i also found the "do not disturb" setting but find that it is not nearly as user friendly as the method prior to the 6.0.1 update, wherby after pressing the volume button, we were able to cycle through sound-vibrate-silent at the press of a button. Where can i request that the simplicity is returned in a future update?
