Re:Texas DPS mistakenly sends out Amber Alert for Chucky doll by sterlind on Saturday January 30, 2021 @02:36AM (#25967107)
so I have do not disturb set up all the time because I'm too dumb to figure something out: I need to hear phone calls at night in case I get paged, but I want all notifications to vibrate.

on Android the same slider is used for notification volume and ring volume. switching the phone to vibrate mode makes both vibrate. the only thing I've been able to figure out is 24/7 Do Not Disturb, with notifications muted but calls allowed to ring.

is there some obvious workaround I'm missing? this seems like the most common way to use a phone, so I feel like a ditz.

We use pagerduty, and it's pretty handy that I can use DND because their mobile app will turn it off if it needs to. I think it also creates a phone contact so that incoming calls bypass DND.
