Problems with Sound and Vibration on Samsung Smartphone.

[NoshowJones]

If you go to the Sounds and Vibration in the Settings part of the Samsung, you have Sound, Vibrate and Mute. I keep my phone on Sound, but I am missing some calls because the sound button keeps moving to the Vibrate button. This is happening very regularly. any explanations for this?

Have you inadvertently switched on a timed do not disturb setting?

I can't, if it kept happening all the time I could take it to the Samsung shop. I could get a few calls and it is fine then almost every day at some point it will change from sound to vibrate, then the call would only ring on vibrate.

Did you install any apps around the time it started happening?

No I didn't.

take it to the shop and explain the issue .... leave it with them for 10 minutes .... they'll fix it for you

Do you have any shortcut settings? Like if you press two buttons at the same time (i.e. volume & home) it will switch to vibrate.

Its a Samsung and they have several issues like this across a number of models. I have the same issue with the sound vibrate issue too. I also have a problem with the lighted screen changing settings that have nothing to do with the auto brightness adjustment and also have a problem answering incoming calls. They are a buggy phone in my opinion and I tend to not use it too much and use my other phone.

Which Samsung model is this?

The suggestion to check your do not disturb settings is a good one, the only other way to change sound/vibrate/silent settings automatically that I can think of is via a Bixby routine.

Malware.  Scrub  it.

I checked do not disturb, it is off. I don't understand Bixby routine.

Strange problem. Had Samsung phones for years and never had a problem. You need to take it to a Samsung Service Centre and let them have a look at it.

Likewise and currently have a Galaxy A53 5G which behaves itself perfectly.

Neither do I, but you can get it to automate stuff things like switch to vibrate at certain times or in certain circumstances. Not all of the Samsung range have Bixby, mine does but I don't use it.
