Nice phone but please help!? Driving me mad! - OPPO Find X5 Pro Questions & Answers

Got my Oppo find X5 Pro few days ago. I was using a OnePlus 8 before this and prior was a Google Pixel user.
Can someone help me with these 2 things...
1. Is there anyway to use the power button as the power off button or just I also press volume up?
2. I loved the alert slider on the OnePlus handsets and I only ever use silent or vibrate modes. Never use ring tones. However I can't see a vibrate only mode on this handset.
I have around 10 days to return this handset. Whilst the power off is not a deal breaker the second thing might be.
Thanks guys!

Any takers?

Vibrate only can be achieved by using the little bell in the notification quick actions... long press configures it ... in there there's a slider to activate vibe on silent ... the bell then acts as a silent toggle but will vibrate
And no - the vol + power is only want, at present, to get to the shutdown menu

Lovely thanks

Phone volume turns off w/ vibraswitch - any alternatives?

I've searched around and haven't had much luck. I use vibraswitch mapped to my PTT button to switch between vibrate and sound, but sometimes (especially when I'm on the phone and use it), the phone will volume will turn off (speaker w/ x, not on and not vibrate) instead of either switching the volume on or to vibrate. I've missed some calls because of this.
Somebody in a post here said that if you hold down the button u mapped it to for a second it will do this, but this doesn't seem to be the case. If this has been answered before I'm sorry, hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction!

The only thing about this program is that the phone doesn't vibrate when you toggle between the settings. I change the volume in my pocket a lot so I rely on the vibrates to let me know when I switch.

Volume for Notifications

Hi, just got the Diamond y'day and would appreciate some help on 2 points
1 Can i fix the volume control on the LHS so that it is not activated when coming out of the case ?
2 Can i set different volume levels for notifications, since I want to definitely hear the phone and messages but only just hear other notifications ?
Thanks
Julian
Locking the Volume
How do I lock the volumes so they cannot change even if the buttons on the LHS are touched ?

Help: my diamond doesn't ring, but vibrate

Hi all,
My phone doesn't ring when there are incoming calls, it only flashes the light. When I switch to vibrate mode, it does vibrate. How can I fix such problem. Please advice.
Thx in advance for any input.
There are 2 volume settings: System volume, and Ringer volume. Make sure both of them are turned up. I assume you can hear other sounds?

i have same problem and its not the ringer volume setting. someone please help. im missing so many calls cuz of this. thanks
As already noted, sounds like you have System Vol up and have also gone into 'Settings/ Sound', and made sure phone volume slider is turned up.
I had the same problem for awhile, the two are linked, unless you manually turn the sound down (in Settings), then it will respond to the System level buttons only to the manually set sound level. I had inadvertantly turned my phone volume all the way down, thinking the System setting would adjust it to wherever I wanted it, not so and I missed some calls.
You probably have also checked to make sure the Phone ringer selection is not set to 'none'.
i had this same problem and i had turned everything up and still nothin..i did a hard restart and after that it worked
Exact same problem, didn't realise until reading this thread that there is an arrow at the top of the volume control which takes you to the ringer volume. Problem solved - cheers.

Htc touch pro not ringing
I haven't had a ringer in six months. Only vibrate. I have tried everything. I don't understand 'the arrow at the top of the volume' control. Is that the slide button on the side of the phone that has system/ring options?
hi.. i also had same problem..what i do was... copy ringtone to music in phone memory..and one thing only the cut edited mp3 can play.. i think.. mine now ok..

How do I remove the vibration when turning vibration ON?

Every single time I want to use the phone in vibrate only I enable that and get an annoying vibration. Isn't there a way to turn ON vibration without having my Diamond to vibrate once and then shut up?
Thanks!
Anyone have an idea about this? It annoys the hell out of me
thank you!
I don't have this problem but it sounds like it could be caused by the HTC volume control. You could use the standard WM volume control instead, or use some sort of profile switcher to set the phone to vibrate mode.
Davey:
Are you saying that when you enable vibration mode your phone does not vibrate once just after vibration mode is turned on?

That's right. What method are you using to turn on vibration? The volume down button?

Hes not using the hardware volume buttons.
My phone does the same thing, what Davey is saying is that he uses the Windows Mobile program to switch his phone to vibrate.
I don't get how this is such a problem though...

Which program do you mean - the one in the settings tab in TF3D? I don't use TF3D or the HTC volume control and I don't have this behavior, ever.
My point is that there are plenty of other programs that are capable of switching vibrate on and off, the OP should look for one of those or write something in Mortscript.
I use the sound settings tab within TF3D mostly but I also hold down the bottom right button on the phone to enable vibration mode.
Can you give me a link to a better program for this?And can you simply disable the HTC volume controller?
Thanks for your time!

I use SPB Phone Suite to switch profiles automatically at night and during office hours. It's a great little program but it's not free and it's a lot more converient when you're not using TF3D so you can use the today plugin. I'm sure there are free alternatives here for the Diamond.
Please see this thread for disabling the HTC Volume Control:

[Q] Problem after updating to Froyo!!!

I just updated to official Froyo & I see that while somebody calls, pressing the volume buttons would not mute the ring like in Eclair!
Is it the same in all Froyo builds? Anyway to get that little option back?
Confirmed. i noticed the same problem too. i used this "feature" often to prevent distraction by an incoming call while having a discussion.
Another problem is the lag in switching orientation. Sometimes it didn't even detect a change in the phone's orientation. You have to sometimes give the phone a few jerks to get the switch going. I wonder if this due to the update or coincidentally the accelerometer gone faulty after the update.
Any help or hint to fix these will be appreciated.
Any help guys?
For me it works if you keep the vol button pressed for 1-2 sec
You are right buddy! It works if we hold it but not if press it once!!!

I don't have Froyo yet, but I read on another forum that if you press the power button when you receive the call, it will mute the sound. A new feature.
