Fixing OnePlus 6/6T Ring Volume Disabled or Locked at ZeroĪs I already told above that the zero ring volume issue (it’s more of ignorance than issue actually) can easily be fixed by simply sliding the alert slider button to down. So, the thing was he ignorantly or mistakenly set his OnePlus 6 to the Vibrate only mode and as a result, he was unable to slide the ring volume slider. Honestly, I used to think that the alert slider button was only for switching between the ring and silent modes but the OnePlus also has the vibrate mode option and the alert slider button has 3 steps in total. I slid the alert slider button and noticed the vibrate icon in the status bar being replaced with the silent mode icon. When nothing worked, he decided to return his phone to OnePlus.Īnyway, I called him to my place so that I could take a closer look at the issue and suddenly something clicked in my mind.

Out of desperation, he tried updating his OnePlus 6 to OxygenOS 5.1.6 and after that even performed a factory reset thinking it was some software side issue and doing so will fix the ring volume locked to zero issue. He also told that there appeared a vibrate mode icon in the status bar. He did so and told the ringtone volume slider is weirdly locked to zero position and does not let him slide it set the ring volume at all. I suggested him to go to Settings> Sound & vibration and check if everything was fine there. He told that the alarm and media volume worked perfectly. One of my friends who also owns a OnePlus 6 called me yesterday telling that his phone has gone permanently silent because it stopped ringing for incoming calls and even pressing the volume up button did not help. I think OnePlus should either remove this button in its upcoming phones or make it better. Anyway, today we’ll see how we can fix OnePlus 6 Ring volume disabled or locked at zero issue and customize Alert Slider button on it.

Also, one has to be very careful while using the button because, unlike the iPhone, it has 3 steps. Having been used to a simpler experience on my iPhones for years, the Alert Slider button on the OnePlus 6 (6T) didn’t excite me much because switching between the profiles using the button doesn’t feel good because I have to push it with the point of my nail to slide it.

OnePlus 6 is most probably the first Android phone to have a physical hardware button to switch quickly between Silent, Vibrate and Ring profiles and we know it as the Alert Slider button.
