[Q] Quickest way to silence/vibrate the phone from the lock screen - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I'm planning on getting this phone, but I'm skeptical about the new lock screen not having an option to quickly set the phone to vibrate. Is the quickest way to do this by unlocking the phone and then holding the volume button down or using a home screen widget?

Not sure if it still works in ICS, BUT if you are on the lockscreen hold the power button down like you are going to turn the phone off. You should get the power down menu.
Then use the volume rocker accordingly to lower/mute the volume of the phone.
Can anyone confirm this still works on ICS?

when a call comes in, press volume Down and it immediately mutes the ringtone but leaves the screen on

when a call comes in, pressing power button mutes the sound AND turns the screen off

That's what the volume bug is for

I wasn't referring to silencing when a call is coming in. I was talking about setting the phone to vibrate so it doesn't ring when going into a quiet area.

The quickest way to do it I find is press power once to turn on the screen (no need to slide unlock) and then hold down power. You'll get three options, the first of which is to put the phone into silent mode.

Is it just me or does that sound like a rather mean-spirited reply? For what it's worth, I've never heard of a Defy that wakes using the volume button - wouldn't mind that functionality, though. Perhaps we could swap?
I only wanted him to know the volume buttons don't wake up the phone with CM7.
Can it be an option somewhere in Froyo?
no, I wasn't trying to be rude.
volume buttons wake the phone only when no screen lock is on.
actually to turn off screen lock I have to use the app called 'no lock'.
in this case pressing the top turn on/off button wakes the phone and no extra swipe nor pin asked.
however the same thing what volume button do but this never happend until I flashed the nordic one.
as I mentioned I was playing with the *.kl files but didn't make any changes.
what I'm trying to do is lock/unlock the phone by the turn on/off button only.

Power Off Menu - Sound Toggle Gone after Gingerbread update?

My girlfriend just updated her phone yesterday, and now she's telling me that her sound toggle button when she holds the power button is gone. Sure enough, it is. Is there a way I can show her how to bring it back? Seems kind of dumb to get rid of that (in my eyes) standard Android feature :^\
Thanks!
Edit: But on the bright side, she now has a reboot button. Yay!
Just found this on the HTC site. Looks like they might need to edit this page:

Put the device in silent mode
Press and hold the Power button and then tap Silent mode.
True. Missing that option to set to silent using the power button. Silly to omit a useful feature.

How do you mute the HOX

Hi all,
I just moved from the iPhone and getting my feet wet with Abdroid. Love it so far. The iPhone had a mute switch. Is there and easy switch off for volume without having to lover the volume manually or go into setup up and switch to just vibrate? I have read the manual but can't find anything on muting.
Thanks
There isn't no, but you have a profile widget you can add to your homescreen to change

from the lockscreen just push and hold the volume down button until the volume indicator shows the speaker with a cross next to it. from here you can also go to vibrate mode, just push volume down once more (when on silent)
you can tap the vol down button once a and then press the icon on the left of the slider and it will rotate throught mute vib and loud.

[Q] How to Mute my phone

Hi All,
It might be a very basic question, could you help me to figure out how can I mute my phone? Whenever I slow down the volume using my left buttons, it goes to vibration.
All I need is a simple button which should completely mute my phone, no vibration either.
Thanks ink advance.
Use quick settings and keep the sound mode to silent no vibration one tap silent one tap ringing. You can also keep the sound panel in power menu.

Screenshot Not Working

Power+Vol Down buttons are not working to capture a screenshot. I know it worked sometime last night. Definitely sure I am holding down those buttons. Tried rebooting, powering off and back on and still does not work. Running Logcat as root doesnt show anything happening when holding those buttons down. They work individually (holding power brings up the power menu and holding volume down changes the volume).
EDIT: So I noticed that a bug report was created. Emailed it to myself, and saw this line in the textfile:
WindowManager: Screenshot failure taking screenshot for (1920x1200) to layer 21005
Hey man, might be a hardware issues, was able to take a screenie on mine.
Working here too
I've not successfully screenshotted. Feels difficult.
cannot take screen shot
I also can't take screenshot with the power and vol down! what happen? do i need to set anything?

Wifi in sleep mode
With these advanced wifi settings: Keep wifi on during sleep - never, scanning always available - unchecked,
should i be receiving notifications like email when my tab is asleep via the magnetic switch on the case? I figure it's either a ROM bug (12/20 build 3) or I don't understand something about sleep mode. If its relevant, I switched back to elementalX v2.3 kernel. I sent myself an email and a few seconds later, my tab chirped, even tho the case was closed w mag lock enabled. What am i missing?
