Easy way to silence your XDA?

I am looking for an easy way to set my XDA to silent using one hand, like when heading into a meeting.
I have searched through these forums and found My|Profile & Ultra Profiler but really was looking for something even easier (freeware?).
Anyone want to do a little programming?
Here is how it would work.
1. Today screen plug-in
2. One icon or button labeled as "Silent"
3. Using a 'Today Options' button you could select a check box to Vibrate when Silent.
4. When "Silent" is pressed it would set the Volume Settings to 'Off'
That's it. Nothing else, no changable tones, no schedules. Just quickly silence the device. You can then use the Volume Slider to restore your previous settings.
On a related matter I don't understand why I can use the Volume Slider to recover from a "Volume Off" setting. It restores my previous Phone & PDA settings but I can't go to "Volume Off" using the slider. Weird.

If you can cope with two screen taps, the easiest way is simply to tap the speaker symbol at the top of the screen then tap "Off" (then tap the speaker symbol again if you want to close the pop-up). After the meeting there are two quick ways to restore the volume settings to their previous levels:
1) tap the speaker symbol and then "On" (then tap the speaker symbol again to close the pop-up)
2) slide the volume button on the side of the XDAII up twice

just press the colum button about 2 times it will go from max sound to off then to vibrate then to low then keep pressing it to make it go up and up till it reaches max then the cycle starts again very simple

Thanks for the ideas.
RafilK, maybe I have fat figures but trying to hit the Speaker Icon, with a finger, nestled between the time and the signal icon is a hit and miss affair.
gazzaman2k, please excuse my ignorance but what's a "Colum Button"? Is it one of the hardware buttons?

sorry typos meant to say volume

Fair enough. What I believe gazzaman2k was referring to was the hardware sliding button on the side of the XDAII that is used to increase and decrease volume. He is right, two downward movements of the volume button do silence the XDAII - I forgot about that! Hope this helps. Regards -- Rafil.

no i was on about the ahrdware button on the xda 1 actually

Go to COMM MANAGER, you will see a speaker there. If the speaker is ON you're in trouble LOL, just turn it off whenever you need absolute silence . Best advice, while in school, turn off your phone and attend to class!

Strange... I'm using Gnat's 6.1 and when the keypad is locked (via holding the End Call button), the volume buttons take the phone out of standby but they don't alter the volume at all. The only key that does anything is the left soft key, aka the Unlock key when in locked mode. The volume buttons and the soft keys/home key/back key all turn the screen back on but don't function at all otherwise, until the phone is unlocked.
Are you using a different keypad lock program or something? Or are you also holding the End Call button to lock the keypad?

Mine alter the sound while the phone is locked - yes, it's bug.
I don't know how to fix that either, but I'm sure somebody on here does. Should be simple for somebody who is familiar with phone's registry.

OK . If anyone is working on it (registry fix) please post here results. By the way : in my school everyone have phones turned on, and silenced.

I don't understand what is your main issue. Is it MUTE the phone, then just turn off the sound. Edit your "silence" profile and make sure you have sounds turned off when you are in "Silence" mode. No mater where your side button points the volume to, Silence profile will determine if there will be sound or not. But you need to EDIT the profile and set it acordingly. The issue with the bottons, is something that will mostlikely be taken care of when a final WM6.1 comes out. For now, all there is are experimental test roms.

The same problem. It is still possible to adjust volume while keypad is locked

I'm still very confused by all this. I don't have this problem. I put the phone in Vibrate mode, lock my keypad, let the screen go black, then press the volume buttons. The screen comes on but the volume is unchanged, no matter how many times I press the buttons.

I understand , that the ringtones are silenced with other metods, but if I am using some kind of programs what are making noise, when in use ( for example some communicators) I know I can silence ringtones by Profiles , but I just want to find some solve for this problem, and not only me want this.

How to configure the hansfree button

Hello....is there any way of changing the action when the handsfree button is pressed or even long pressed & doublepressed

yes, same question. Extremely annoying how easy it is to accidently double tap the button and call the last person.

any suggestions anyone ??? maybe a registry edit or anything..... still waiting

The handsfree button has the same function as the call button typically.
double press -> redial (same as call button on phone)
long press ->
a) on some ROMs simply doesn't work. Guess it depends on driver version
b) if workiing, you can set the function in Buttons, gets same function as long press Button 1 (left phone button)

isnt there a cab or file cause its really annoying and would love to set it to next song or previous song

bump any one some one help its really annoying randomly calling someone

Not sure but;
Check in your registry in HKCU\Control Panel for your headset settings

Search for 'audio manager headset tool' on forums.

Try this cab
Havent tested it my self yet

Topaz Keyboard Controller;

What is it ?
It's a solution that allows you to remap ALL keys of your device.
Any key (yeah, i mean ANY, including Home and Back keys) can be reassigned to perform desired actions.
Have fun,
Senax

Thanks for replying ... I already have Topaz Keyboard Controller installed but it does not let you configure the (wired) handsfee button.. or if there is a way then pls help !!!

Sound Issue? No key press or icon press sounds.

I have checked all appropriate settings and compared them to the sound settings on my sensation. All the right boxes are checked. Volume keys work. Getting message/email alerts with no problem. The touch tone sounds work when I dial, and haptic feedback works. For some reason, I'm not getting key press sounds when I type (those settings are on also) and I'm not getting the click noises when I press icons. Nor am I getting the lock screen sounds when I lock/unlock my phone.
I have a rooted G2x. I've tried CM7.1RC1, nightly #76 and also the stock rom.
Please... Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm going out of my mind.

Galaxy s8+ Media/Volume button Issue

Hello guys i did search the forum for this issue but did not find anything.
So my problem is that the volume up/down button always lowers / increases the volume for the media rather than the system/ringtone sound.
If there is already a topic on this issue then im sorry and you can link this to it.
In the previous Phones of mine ( galaxy s3-s6) this was not the case.
So did samsung change that on purpose?
Greetz

Go to Settings and then to Sounds and vibration and uncheck "Use volume keys for media".
