Please dont laugh, but the only thing I am missing from my mobile phone, is the ability to turn off the phone (or the ringer) quickly.
I am in and out of places where it would be bad form to have the phone ring and unless I am mistaken, the pda cannot be turned off (completly) and the only way to stop it ringing is to put it into "airline mode" ?
Can I add a short cut to the man menu or something to achieve silence?
Regards,
Peter
You can click on the speaker icon in the top, and chose your setting there.
If you forgett to do this, you can when it starts ringing, just move the volume slider on the side, and it will silence the ring tone, and the caller wont notice this.
You can push the red hardware phone button to reject the call, the caller wil prob. notice this.
You can have a look at PocketZenPhone

Thanks Bosjo
Your welcome
yes Bosjo is correct.
on my XDAlls from 02,
If i get a incomming call at the wrong time i Flick my Vol Slider Down (once) and the ring is Muted for that call.
The Caller will Still hear the Rining and dosent know you have Muted it.
However, If i Wigle the the Vol slider up and down a few times the incomming call is Rejected as if i pressed the red hangup button.

Anyone know of a registry tweak to have the speakerphone set to a default on position? It is a PITA to always have to press that button and when retrieving voicemail you first have to hide the keypad and then turn it on. I know it's petty...but it should be added to one of the tweak programs as an option under the phone tab...and I've searched this many times but came up with nada.
Vito Audio Notes has a feature that you can set to have Speaker Phone Initiate on every call, both incoming & outgoing.
I'm thinking of buying it for the recording feature.

Have you tried this?:
"answer with speakerphone by holding down the send button (button with the green phone icon on it) for a couple of seconds when answering the call. Likewise to toggle speakerphone on and off, simply hold down the send button for 2-3 seconds while in a call."

Yes, I do answer the phone that way some of the time. I don't always remember that shortcut but that's my fault. I still would like to just be able to default to speakerphone on and toggle it off when I need privacy.
This is how I found the above, I typed 'answer speaker phone'.

btw, Vito isn't free.
However, it has to be making some kinda behind the scenes change, for it to have all calls be answered by speaker phone.
Maybe it's just making a simple reg edit.
I guess another option is to figure out what that change is.
You could ask Vito, maybe he would tell you.

heya again.
i've got a P3300 with HTC WM6 (but same happened with WM5)
i was used from my older phones to get this options when a call was incomming:
- answer
- cancel (busy)
- ignore (mute)
now i am missing this last option. sometimes when i get a call, i want to just ignore it, mute the phone (and stop the vibration too) but without giving the caller a "busy" sign.
is that somehow possible?
use the volume slider button and slide downwards
yeah its the volume slider on the top left of the phone
well to clarify as others might get confused like i did.
when ppl. sais "use the volume slider" they don't mean to just slode down the volume. no
i've found out that if i wanted to ignore a call, i just had to tap the slider once, to mute the incomming call and turn of vibration. and it wont affect any sort of volume settings for next incomming calls.
so, thx for your replies, guys.
So I've noticed that when my phone rings, the volume fades out abit and then pops back into its full range repeatedly while I recieve a call. This is even when the single voluime option has been selected. Any help with this?
I realised its because I use voice commander, is there anyway to turn the call section off?
nvm, i've figured it out
I did that on my Tornado by pressing volume down key. Where is it in Excalibur ?
at Night, my parents are asleep and often my phone isnt on Vibrate. So the ringer keeps on buzzing. (I just want to make phone silent during incoming call rather cut it off). Its driving me nuts
And running my fingers over JOGGER doesnt help. (JOGGER should serve as VOLUME control right? since I have set it to be usable as volume control)
Some one please help me! (not any of the buttons on keyboard does make phone silent during incoming ringer)
did u tried double click on the jogger bar during call... in my if i click twice it helps me to control the volumn..
My Lumia 900 black vibrartion works like this..
During Incoming Call:
When in Vibra+Ring Mode:
Vibrates only for first ring and then stops. Only Ringing occurs afterwards.
When in Vibrate Mode:
Vibrates normally like any other phone.
Is my device working properly in Vibra+Ring mode. I hope it should Ring and Vibra till the incoming call stops. Correct me if I am wrong.. Is my device defective?
Thanks.
Can someone please answer this question by taking some time by testing your device and compare it with mine?
Thanks..
Are you saying your phone vibrates when in Ring mode?
I'm pretty sure my Vibra+Ring mode is the same as yours; it will vibrate on the first ring but then only ring from then on.

Mine works the same way... which now explains why i miss a bunch of calls when Im walking in the street in NYC and dont feel my phone vibrate in my pocket.
Doh!
This is kind of weird implementation. Hope this gets updated to vibe/ring at the same time throughout the entire incoming call.

Ok, yeah that makes sense. And yes, my phone works the same way.
I just tested my phone as well and it only does the initial vib then stops as the phone continues to ring. I don't like that. I like for my phone to vibrate and ring at the same for the duration of the call. Interesting find. I'll probably end up missing calls as well because of this.
Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express
Same here, vibrates on the first ring only. I didn't even notice that until I saw this post. This could possibly be an issue for me in the future but right now it's not really a big deal as I didn't even realize it. The only time I really do need vibrate is when my phone is on silent.
Yeah..this is an important issue as we might miss calls during traveling. Single vibe would not suffice.
Traditionally all NOKIA devices vibrates and rings at the same time. This device is working weird which can be fixed by a software update.
We should inform Nokia about this issue in their conversations by pointing to this thread.
I just tested mine. It will vibrate first and then ring, but once the ringtone has cycled, it will vibrate again and then ring, and so on.
Choose a short ringtone and set vibration to on. Then try making a call to the device. Allow the ringtone to cycle at least twice. I know this isn't the equivalent to vibe with ring, but at least I do get more than one vibration with my ringer.
Here's a observation...
I'm noticing that this phone actually NEVER vibrates and plays a sound at the same time. Such as new SMS or new email... the phone will vibrate first and then ding, same as an incoming call (vibe then ring).
So I'm wondering if there is possibly some sort of limitation (hardware or software) that doesn't allow the Lumia 900 to vibe & play sound simultaneously.
Thoughts?
I believe that WP7 is configured to vibrate at the beginning of every cycle of the ringtone.
Because of this, if you have a long ringtone such as a song, it will only have the chance to vibrate once before your voicemail kicks in.
To test this theory i changed my ringtone to "Topic" which was included with the phone.
As expected, it vibrates, runs the two rings that make up the ringtone file, then vibrates again as it repeats. This means that shorter ringtones will result in more frequent vibrations.
Can someone else test this to confirm?

You are right...works the same way..
Vibration in any lumia
I been having issues with the vibration as well. I have a Lumia 710 and have tried on a 800. The short ringing tone works fine to keep it vibrating.
But I´ve heard you can actually have the phone ringiing and vibrating at the same time.
there is a post in here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11948890#post11948890
but it only workls with HTC. i have been looking for a program or a registry editor that can change the vibration function on a LUMIA.
