I know this may be trivial to some bit I rally like that key press tone, but when though I set it to max in the settings of both my phone and the app, is very silent, anyone has an idea why?

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
Hi folks
being a happy Treo-user, one of the things which I find not good is that when the speaker volume (phone) is set to more than 2nd (or more) bar of the volume bar, because I set the volume in that way during the last call, the next time when dialing, the dial tone "dial-beep" is extremely loud so I need to take the phone away...
There are so many experts here, Is there maybe a reg-hack workaround?
Fire000,
Not sure what your problem is here, can you describe exactly what you're doing & what gives you a problem?
Angus
ok, sorry for my english, its just one of my another 4 languages (most weak) :-(
step describtion:
- type in search contact
- press middle joystick or green "send" button to select and call....
- phone app starts to dial the number....
- classical dialing tone appears
----> if the phone volume is set to the lowest level, its everything fine
--------> if phone volume is set to the middle or higher level, I get the feeling that my ear is going to explode....the dialing tone is extremely loud and I need to press the volume button and decrease the phone volume.
I know, one can pay attention and check the volume before he starts to dial...or during the dial just go down with volume, but its again annoying, consdering that with another device you don't have this problems, as those dialing volume is dynamical and always acceptable auto-adjusted..
I sometimes inadvertently turn ringer volume down low, and then forget to turn it back up to full and miss an important call.
I’ve found apps such as Ringer Volume (Android-Lab) however it wants ‘full Internet access’ don’t know if I like that with an app that will be constantly running?
Another option would be a taskbar icon showing my volume level i.e. 20% however I cannot find any such widget. It’s not mute that give me the problem it’s when I decrease the Ring Volume sometimes by accident when holding my Desire HD, with CyanogenMod 7
?Is this the correct section to ask for help on this problem?
so basically when i use up/down keys on the side of the phone to lower ringtone volume, it ONLY lowers ringtone volume, i literally have to adjust everything else in the drop down menu up at the top. its very annoying.
any way to make it so that when i press up/down in the volume buttons everything else goes up and down in volume and not just the ringtone??
i looked in settings and couldn't find squat.
Hi all
I saw an earlier thread on this but can't believe that it's not a bug that needs fixed.
My phone has no apps open, I unlock it and press the volume buttons and up pops a little window showing me that I am adjusting the media volume. This functionality used to be context sensitive, ie, in this case it would adjust the ringer, in a call it would adjust the call volume and when playing media it would adjust the media volume.
Now it's just the media volume and a few screen actions to adjust the ringer.
Surely this is a backwards step and a bug?
Does anyone know of a way to change this, or an app that can be associated with the volume controls to make it work properly?
Thanks
Michael
I don't know that there's a way to revert it to a previous Android way of handling it as it's the way Google built Pie's volume control to work.
FWIW, they did it for the millions out there who don't ever want to change the volume for their ringer/notifications once they get it set, especially if they start adjusting volume for something like a call before the context has kicked in, so you inadvertently adjust ringer volume instead of in-call volume. At least, that's what I assume it is because that's what happened with me. I have set my phone to vibrate as soon as it's out of the box, and with the new way of handling volume, I no longer have to deal with changing it off of that setting until I reset the phone. I love it.

Thanks for the reply, and the explanation Seamonkey. I have to say though I still don't get why they didn't just make this a user selectable option. Pick the default volume to adjust or leave it as context sensitive.
For some of us the phone is still a device for phone calls first and everything else second!
All the best
Michael
