Sound profile issue

[Monty13]

My sony M4 updated yesterday and now i am facing a new issue related to sound profile.
Previously i used to press volume button and change profile from silent to priority n so on. But now i can get only volume slider on volume button press.
Please help me out...

When this slider appear, tap on the "bell" icon to switch to Vibrate and No interruption modes, this make it easier to switch sound profiles when you are listening to music or any other media.

Thanks for replying. But using this solution i can only switch between sound and vibration mode.
I want to use priority mode. Now hiw can i switch to priority mode. Previously i used to get all three modes option.

See this:

The way I see it now, priority is just silent mode with exceptions.

Priority mode is now merged with Silent mode, on the lower part of Silent mode popup you can enable "Allow Exceptions" which will give you the so-called Priority mode.

@Quester Thanks for confirming mate.

Which means the Sony Smart Connect tool is now useless as I can not choose it to be either silent or priority mode, but have to do it manually every time. What a shame.

For this you can send your suggestion to Sony directly via this link:

And also on Smart Connect on Google Play, leave a feedback:

Actually priority mode is very important for me. I only accept calls in that mode and do much more things.

Finally i found solution for this for now.

I have done restore to factory settings, i had to install all applications again but finally i got my required priority mode back.

There should be some option to turn this mode ON/OFF. Because we cannot always take backup and reset phone for this option.

This worked for me two times. Waiting for some concrete solution.
