Surprisingly, there is no mute button on the lock screen. And I can't see it on the notifications/quick settings panel neither. Am I missing something? Don't really want to use widget for that.

For the lockscreen, I don't know, but after unlocking it, u press the vol down button until it's muted or set to vibrate.

from the manual:
Do one of the following:
§ Press the VOLUME DOWN or VOLUME UP button.
§ Press the POWER button.
§ Place HTC Sensation face down on a level surface.
Okay folks try this...
Set an alarm, make sure that the "Side Button Behavior" in the alarm settings is set to snooze and see if it actually works.
Mine fails miserably.
Just tried it, it will only snooze with the sleep/wake button not the volume rocker.

I'm thinking the volume rocker should work as well huh, idunno.
The volume buttons are the only "side buttons" I can find..
Is there any app for the xoom that will turn off all sounds for things like meetings? On the phones, there is one where all you do is press the power button and then choose silent sounds. Thanks!
Tasker , you have to do a step by step config , or try silent mode timer .
use the volume key to bring up the volume on the screen then click on the speaker, mutes everythng.

OP: Use what he said in the post above. It's built into the system, and literally takes half a second to do. That's what it's there for, right?
volume plus(+) app. it has two widgets, one is a profile shuffler. three profiles so either one or two clicks on your homescreen.
probably beats having to bring up settings or pressing the a bit hard to press volume keys.

This works well for the alarms and ringers, but certain apps *ALWAYS* ignore this setting and use full volume anyways.
Personally, I like and use Quick Settings. It works very well and lets you change settings quickly. You can quickly choose between silent, vibrate, sound only, or sound and vibrate with it.
I use AudioManager. You can set up widgets for whatever sounds you want/dont want.
i.e. I have 4. One for only Media sounds. One for only Systems sounds. One for all to be up, and one for all to be off. You create the widget and press it once and then profile will be applied. You can set each setting to a specific volume. For example, if you want to watch movies at a certain volume, create the widget, during the creation, choose the sound volume and save it. Same can be done for music. You can create a widget to have some sounds on, and some off. Its totally customizable and i highly recommend it.
They have a pro version as well.

I forgot there were physical volume keys. Thanks for the pointer except it only handles 2 of the 3 things that has sound to it. If you went to settings and then sound, you will notice that the third one with the clock is not set from the volume keys. The 2nd one is when you click on the 3 sliders icon on the right side after clicking on the volume button.
With phones, I use Silent Mode Jammer which basically turns off all sounds when pressing the power button but on the Xoom, even with Silent Mode Jammer enabled, pressing the power button only allows shutdown of the device.
Xoom doesn't vibrate are you using this for silence?

I installed Volume+, the paid version and I don't see the widgets when I tried to add widgets to the home screen, what is it called? Is Volume+ the app with the volume knob for it's icon?

Never thought about it lacking vibrate. LOL. Haven't found anything to silence it other than using the settings and the 3 sliders manually.
I search this specific forum but couldn't find anything on this topic.
I was wondering if it was possible to put a hot key or button or something on the lock screen or even on one of the pages to silence the phone with out having to turn it down manually with the rocker switch?
I had a motorola atrix 2 and it had something on it's locked screen to silence and unsilence the phone.
Of course I also like the locked screen on the atrix 2 better then my skyrocket but that and the silence button are the only 2 things I liked over my skyrocket.
Any advice or help would be great.
Thank you
You can enable the "Turn Over" motion feature to mute incoming calls and sounds. No need to press buttons.
See if that works for you.
That is awesome, thank you for the suggestion but I was thinking more along the lines of forgetting to silence your phone in say a meeting. Instead of having to unlock the phone and press the volume down button till silent, can I put a volume on / vibrate mode widget or something on my lock screen.

You can replace your lockscreen and use something like widgetlocker. And you can add whatever widget, slider action or shortcut you want. Search the market for other options.
Thanks a lot widget locker works great and does exactly what I want.

In the top drop menu with all the toggles is the Sound toggle ("Vibrate - Mute - Sound"). I always keep it on vibrate.
I have noticed that the sound setting gets changed without my input. This has happened at least a dozen times so I don't think it's me accidentally doing it. I can't find a pattern to when it happens and it drives me crazy when the phone rings in a meeting or other inappropriate time.
Any ideas?

This can be toggled with the volume rocker on the side when the phone has been unlocked. You're probably doing this by accident.
This happens to me once in a while when I wake up in the morning and press the volume rocker to snooze my alarm.

Right you are - thanks. This is a drag though. Holding it with one hand it is almost impossible to press the wake key without also pressing the volume rocker. Not to mention accidental grabbing as you mention.
