The title says it all, like an iphone, when getting a notification alert from anything such as sms and its a long tone, how can I silence it without having to unlock the phone? Like long press menu or double click power button, Thanks

Pull down notification bar while still locked and toggle sound button or hold it for sound options.
Volume down doesn't work on the Note II
I pull down notification bar to mute the alert but that means I have to take the phone out of my pocket,press any key and then pull down notification bar.
Isn't there a mod that makes you press any hard button to mute an ongoing alert?

I feel like such a noob for asking this but I can't figure it out.
How do I reject an incoming call when the screen is locked? I want to let the call go thru immediately to voicemail.
I have tried:
- turning the phone face down (which silences the ringer but doesn't reject the call)
- swiping up (this seems to work on some other phones but not the Defy)
Is there some setting I am missing? All I can do is unlock the screen and then hang up on the person - not very polite, and they don't even go thru to voicemail!
Oops sorry I figured it out ... it's the POWER button.
Doh!
there should be a green and a red slider, slide the red one.

I thought the power button was doing the same thing as the red bar, it goes to voice mail after u press it?

Yeah that works too - and I did try this the first time, but probably my swiping skills are poor.
I've changed the thread title to 'Solved'
Thanks to all.
I really feel like a dumb noob

Sorry I meant to say "SwithPro widget"
i always just use the volume buttons works for me
Press one of the volume buttons, then press on the icon next to the bar.
You mean from the Notification Menu when you say "drop down menu"? Try using Notification Toggle.

that works thanks
But this is still very inconvenient. Is there a quick way to do it from the lock screen without actually unlocking the phone?
Hold the power button for a couple of seconds, you should get a menu called Phone Options with silence, airplane and power off as options.
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.

Greetings everyone,
Is there a way to disable the ringtone volume control using the volume rocker? Every time I use my phone, I keep hitting the volume rocker by mistake, changing from vibration mode to sound mode. I tried using apps like RingGuard and such, but they weren't effective and kept popping up in the notification center. Is there a way to get rid of the ringtone control option?
Thanks!

Completely disable the Volume buttons on Samsung Galaxy S3
I absolutely hate the placement of the power button on my Samsung Galaxy S3. When I go to holster my phone, if I accidentally hit the power button and wake the phone, when the phone fits into the holster the volume button will often brush against the holster and the volume will inadvertently change since the phone is now "awake" - this drives me CRAZY. I much preferred the power button to be on top of the phone, like my old Droid Incredible. But I do love my S3....
I tried the apps that "lock" the volume, but I was not happy with that solution. The apps seemed clunky, the geek in me doesn't like to have unnecessary app running in the background, and those apps tended to interfere with and/or alter the settings of the super-simple Silent Toggle Widget that I prefer to use.
So this is how I set up my phone:
- Completely disable the volume rocker button (see below);
- Use the Silent Toggle Widget on my Home screen to change the phone from "Sound" to "Vibrate" to "Silent";
- Use the Volume Control+ app to change the individual volumes via software, when the need arises, which it rarely does.
I love it. I don't find any real need to change individual volumes, for me the sound is either "on" or "off" - color me simple I guess.
So, to completely disable the volume rocker button on the Samsung Galaxy S3:
- Root your phone (sorry)
- Edit the file /system/usr/keylayout/sec_keys.kl [note the plural "s" in sec_keys.kl]
- Comment out the first two lines with the pound sign (#) to disable key 115 volume_up and 114 volume_down
- Reboot
Hope someone else finds this useful
this is a real shame that yoy have to disable the whole rocker, as this functionality has been for years in the iPhone...
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.
