That doesn't answer the question at all. It says to use the volume control to switch between silent and ring, but for me and the OP that lets us select between Ring+Vibrate and Vibrate only.
I would like to be able to quickly turn the phone to properly silent, the vibrate wakes me up during the night when I get emails. WP7 could really do with the email scheduling feature that was in Windows Mobile.

Silent
Go to settings, turn off vibrate. Then when you press volume controls you can change between ring/silent.

Thanks for your answer, but I know this tips, but it don't answer to my question.
From my point of view, it's incredible to deactivate vibrate mode in order to get only the possibility to switch to silent mode.
I want to know if we have the possibility (with hack or somethig else) to switch between vibrate+rin/ring/vibrate/silent mode !!!!
Thanks

Just switched from Blackberry - Please help me to like WP7

Earlier this week, I received a HD7S on non-Mango to replace my Blackberry Torch.
While I like the bigger, better screen of the HD7S and the variety of WP apps (compared to RIM's selection at least), I am not sure, if the WP7 is really suitable for me (yet).
My intention is to use that phone mainly for business purposes.
Perhaps, someone can give me some input on the following items:
How to enable LED notification (email received, etc.)
How to access certain functions quickly rather than having to unlock the phone, finding the setting, etc etc etc (example: mute/unmute, change phone to silent, etc.)
How to increase time-out past 5 minutes max (very cumbersome/dangerous when on call in the car and having to mute/unmute)
Can I setup custom tiles (to bundle certain apps into one tile)?
How to customize notifications per email account (individual ring tone and vibrate)
How to reassign buttons to other functions
Please, I am not a Blackberry fan boy but I really want to like WP7 as I, frankly, have no other choice as this phone has been given to me by my employer.
Any input will be highly appreciated.
BTW: I have tried that force-Mango update for hours and countless times without any luck yet; maybe some of the points above will remedy with Mango?
Thank you!

1. I'm not sure about the HD7S, but the Samsung Focus doesn't have a LED. If the HD7S does, it might be hackable but I can't provide any information about that.
2. There currently isn't any way to change your phone to silent silent, but you can use the volume down button to change your phone to vibrate. I'm also not sure what "other" settings you are talking about.
3. I assume you're talking about the screen, there is probably a registry hack somewhere. A quick search came up with this.
4. I remember reading somewhere about folders, but I can't seem to find it at this moment. I'm also not sure if it would bundle all the live tiles into one.
5. Also not possible on the Focus as of right now.
Sorry I couldn't be much of help, I hope this steers you in the right direction and I hope you fall in love with your new Windows Phone!

There is a LED, which turns red once the battery needs to be charged. I would assume that this LED could be used for other purposes?

I thought that the volume buttons might be an alternative to switch to silent but was hoping for a quicker way.

Hmm, strange as this would appear to be a standard function? Maybe possible with Mango?

Thanks again - definitely a starting point. The phone is much more fun than the BB; hopefully Mango or future releases will make it more practical for business purposes as well.

My HTC Mozart has a green/red LED, and with Mango it flashes green when you have a missed call or SMS message. As far as I know it doesn't work with other alerts such as toasts; definietly doesn't do anything for new emails.

You can pin the settings tile to the homescreen. Mute can be toggled by pressing either volume rocker, then in the top menu touch the corner that says "ring and vibrate". It'll then become "vibrate" and the icon will change, indicating the phone is on silent.

Which buttons do you mean? If you mean hardware, then sorry no possible to customise them.
Thank you very much for the infos!
Which registry editor is recommended for Mango on a HD7S?

App to control phone volume?

I dropped my phone and now the volume buttons rarely works.So is there a app i could use to control the music/call volume?thanks.
Sorry it didnt show the other thread i posted...close this one please.
Volume slider
Yes, there is an app for that, but only if you have a dev-unlock phone
See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577919
Don't know of one for fully locked phones.

What about one for call volume?This one is good for master volume but for call volume it doesn't work.
Not aware of any app for in-call volume.
I can see how that might be a problem for you if the volume buttons don't work at all.
Maybe you wanna PM the developer for that app and ask for it to be added?
Alternatively, is it that the volume buttons don't work at all? or do they not work well? You might consider taking off the back cover and trying to improve the contact with the push buttons. (Use small regular screwdriver at 45 degree angle if you have one of those 3 prong screws). Don't know which device you have, but if you check the forum for that phone, many have directions about how to take off back cover (mainly for updating memory card)
Hi,
I have the same problem too. This app works like a charm but not for in-call.
I am not sure if the developer could do something about it.
Unfortunately, because I have less than 10 posts, I am unable to reply in a dev thread.
I have tried to send an email, but not a private message, to the developer and he has not replied so I don't know if he got it or not.
I dont want to email him again cause it would be rude.
Anyone has any idea if it would be possible at least?
Cheers
Hi guys,
No answer to my post
Has anyone the same problem?
Would anyone mind to ask the developer?
Thank you in advance
Ok in case anyone is interested in this:
There is a solution to change the in-call volume manually, it s not an app but it does the job pretty well

[Q] Swipe down to answer phone call with speakerphone?

I had a ROM, don't remember the specific one at this moment, but it had the convenient option of swiping down to answer phone with speakerphone. This was in addition to regular option of swiping right to answer and up to reply with SMS.
Is there a way to add this in?

[Q] Answer calls with simple swipe

When I receive an incoming call I would like only a simple swipe to answer. Currently I get an option if I swipe up to send a quick reply. Sometimes when driving etc I accidentally swipe up instead of right and drop the call. Very annoying. I've searched everywhere and cannot find an app or a setting to get rid of quick reply's.

Is it in your country allowed to use phone when driving. If it is, report to Google.

Not exactly a solution to my problem, but yes we can still use phones while driving in Florida. I usually use Bluetooth, Just using driving as one of many examples.

Doesn't your bluetooth device has an answer button?
OK lets forget about Bluetooth and pretend I'm not in a car. No Bluetooth just don't want to have instant reply when I accidentally swipe up. Do you have a way to address my problem or not. If not no more reply's please.

If you are not in the car then clear your mind, think three times "right, not up" and answer your call. With time you will get your own mantra.
Also you can try to find working button remaping app.
Stop txting and driving, you might injure/kill someone
There's handicap/disability options somewhere in settings
