I put my phone on silent when I'm in a theater or meeting. After last update, it now rings when call comes in and makes notification sound for incoming texts. I don't want to shut phone off. What is my alternative? This never used to occur.

You can also use theater mode for meetings (it should be preconfigured on your phone), or create a mode called "meeting mode" and set the parameters for silencing what needs to be silenced. Once you turn that mode off, your phone will return to normal. Just plain old do not disturb works, too (unless you have it set to let certain calls and notifications through).

same issue. I don't want to go to theater mode. I want my phone to vibrate like it used to. Why would Samsung install this awful change?

You can still put your phone on vibrate, just hold the volume down button until it goes to vibration. Most people were complaining that they did not like that they couldn't use to button to go past vibrate to mute with the button push. You want your phone to vibrate, so you are in luck, it still works. I don't understand what you have against theater (or any mode) - it's a quick way to set your volume/notification parameters when you don't want noise. You can configure it any way you want - in the example above, just turn sound mode and volume to vibrate instead of mute.
There are many paths up the mountain. Use the one you like best.

Did you recently download any app that may cause the sound settings to be overridden? Activated any accessibility settings? You can download Good Lock's Nice Catch module to see if the sound is coming from a rogue app.
