I've been lurking and downloading from this great wiki since purchasing my MDA III 2 months ago. Pretty happy with it, but there is one missing feature I would like to have:
Is there a way to make the volume slider on the side of the BA turn off the phone ringer? Or can I program one of the buttons to turn off the phone ringer? More than once I have had to fumble with the BA to shut it up in a meeting or, worse, in a lecture with me as the lecturer!
I use PPCProfiles Pro... you can have buttons on the today page to instantly change to silent/loud/etc etc. Another good one is PocketZenPhone which I used to use but it caused some instability for me.
i recommend you use PocketZenPhone.. more stable
Yeah well as I said in my message, I had more stability issues with PZP
If, when the phone rings, you want to silence the device, the volume up/down slider does that anyway without adjusting the volume of the phone.
If you want to turn the ringer on or off by using the volume slider that's another story. I'm using O2Plus which gives you some phone customisations (not specific to O2) like phone/divert profiles. Can't say I've tried any others.

Thanks for the quick suggestions.
To clarify, I need to mute the ringer using one of the physical buttons exposed with the BA in an Innopocket aluminum case, without having to open the case. When the phone rings at an inappropriate time, I want to reach into my pocket and mute the ringer with one touch. The volume slider is exposed, but it won't shut off the ringer.
Just out of curiosity, I just bought the same innopocket hardcase today. Don't you find it to scratch easily your BA because of the sharp edges of the case and the very very tight closing system?
BTW, i use one of the hardware button (record) to switch between PZP profiles (quiet)

thanks for the advice on PZP. I've been using the innopocket for about 2 months and I don't see any scratches on the BA. I am pretty rough on PDAs, breaking 3 screens in 4 years, so my devices need the armor.
If I get a call and want to mute the ring tone, I just move the Volume slider on the side up or down one time, and it mutes the ring tone.
Yours should do the same???
bosjo, you are right! I am an idiot! I will now return to lurking and try not to waste any more time....
He he, give your self a pad on the shoulder and move on :wink:
We have all been there :wink:

Hi,
Qtek 2020 with 2003SE or Buzz WM5 does that!
In a incoming call, I can stop the ring using volume button slider.
Is you use WisBar Advance 2 (release for WM5) then this feature will not work, but they are working on it.
I have just gotten this phone and have unlocked it after following the top notch info here by Itsme and others! My question is to see if anyone knows how to increase the inbound phone volume on this phone. I have used the slider on the speaker icon and still not loud enough. Thanks in advance!!
Hi...
I know this is silly,but if u mean in call phone volume,so have u tried raising the volume while in call...
RAGO :lol:
Tried that . Somewhere I read that there was a fix for the low volume and I can't find it , even tried the search.............
I have this problem when on my MDA III. The only way to get a decent ringtone volume so far is to move both sliders (from the command bar) to maximum. But then the screen taps and button presses are way too loud.
I'll keep looking for the fix... :?
Hello..Today the side sound slider came off and i couldn't put it back...It goes in but since it doesn't have anywhere to be caught it coomes off...So i glued it and now it's there but can't be moved...So i would like to know if i can assign the mute call function of this slider to another button...It would be extremely helpful for me since this is the only function for which i use this slider.
Hitting the little icon in the taskbar does not bring up the volume controls like in my original Tilt. I know there are buttons for that but I went with the VolDpad enhancement for documents so thos buttons only control volume now when the phone is locked.
Any fast volume options?
Took a while but search finally saved me:

I've noticed a few people seem to have a problem with their volume in their headsets, but with my phone i can't adjust the volume during calls at all, headset or otherwise. i press the volume buttons, and the slider appears on screen going up and down, but even when i reduce it to minimum, the volume remains earsplittingly loud.
anyone got any ideas?
Thanks!
