Love the DInc, but I have the worst time with the hard buttons on the side. They are so easy to press, and while I'm handling the phone, I frequently accidentally turn the volume down all the way. Ideally, I'd like to disable those buttons from being able to change the ringer volume. I haven't seen an app for that, although I have seen apps that change the ringer volume back to what it was after a few seconds if it was accidental, but that also affects changes with my auto-profile settings app as well. Not helpful...
Any ideas?
Thanks.
I had the same problem and I use "vibrate mode by force" app, not sure if this is one you've tried already. It basically locks it into vibrate mode. Perfect for me since I never use the ringer, ever- and it doesn't affect media volume when you want to change that.
There's another setting on the app to lock it into silent as well.

I used to never use the ringer when I had my Blackberry, as the vibrate was so strong. Now I just miss calls.
Thanks anyway for the feedback!
Bump... anyone else? Maybe a CFW can give me the option?

There is an app called volume locker. I use it and it works great (Free App)
Yep tried volume locker, but doesn't play well with auto profile setting software. I'll keep looking, and update this thread if I find the answer.
Thanks!

Volume Locker worked well when I was using Timerriffic, but with Tasker I keep getting a volume change notification from Volume Locker.
Anyone else having this issue?
I have no issues with volume locker. Works great...
Running Skyraider 3.5 and No task killers
Damn. just did a complete wipe and reinstalled Volume Locker and it still asks me to confirm the volume change when Tasker changes my profile. I did notice there's a plugin necessary for Tasker (according to the Volume Locker listing in Market), but I can't seem to find anything on it on the net or either dev's site.
Here's a paraphrase from my wife, who is using Mango on a Samsung Focus. I couldn't answer her question, so maybe someone else can?
So I usually have my phone on vibrate, and I just turn the volume all the way down to enable vibrate.
Question is, how do I switch to completely silent?
When I use the volume button, the volume bar appears, and I can tap the icon on the far right to switch between ring, vibrate, and ring+vibrate. Where's silent?
If I go to Settings > Sounds & Ringtones, I can switch from vibrate to silent. Now, turning my volume all the way down puts the phone in silent mode, and tapping the icon on the volume bar switches between ring and silent.
Seriously? Must it be that tedious? Is there no way to have vibrate and silent both concurrent options? Can someone PLEASE explain this to me? It's driving me nuts.

As she already discovered, you can set it in settings. I don't see why it's tedious. If you do have more choices, it wouldn't be an one click switch. As far as I can tell, my Android phone does exactly the same thing.
"Question is, how do I switch to completely silent?

Your wife is totally right.
This is the kind of stupid details that make WP7 so annoyning on a daily basis.
You will also notice later:
- that you cannot edit forwarded emails
- that you cannot select and send a PDF document
- that you cannot delete a bunch of pictures in the picture hub
- that you cannot add 2 mobile phone numbers to a same contact
- that you cannot paste a number into the phone dialer,
etc, etc, etc....
"Annoying by design" is a good definition of WP7 indeed...

You're kidding right? How about each press takes you to ring -> vibrate -> silent? That's what I call not tedious! And it's still a one click switch!

This very tedious…why aren't silent and vibrate both options up front? Basically, for my options I get to have ringer and just ONE non-ringer. I can have "ringer or vibrate" OR "ringer or silent." And I have to go to settings in order to choose between those two options?

Whoa, bro. Me, my wife and 4 other extended family members have made the switch to WP7 without looking back. I have very few gripes about the OS, and those I do I'm pretty forgiving of, new as it is. I haven't been bothered by any of those things that you were, but I can understand how they might frustrate some. I, for one, am happy to give them a little more time, because the OS experience in general WAY more than makes up for it.
This particular issue, the vibrate vs. silent issue, just seemed so obvious, that I was honestly hoping I was just being clueless and someone had an answer for me.

I take it Arturo is a notorious naysayer.
I think the killer thing is the ringer volume and media volume cannot be separated....
Normally,I set my alarm to the highest volume for the morning. Then, I'll bath and go to school.
On the way to school,I basically use headphone to listen to music...and Crap,the volume on the headphone almost hit me to deaf....

That's two clicks to go from ring to silent, not one. Right now, for people who don't need vibrate, it can be done in one click. You also can't go from vibrate to ring in one click. Right now, for people who don't need silent, it can also be done in one click. So basically you are punishing people who needs either vibrate or silent just so that you can go from vibrate to silent in a single click. What if I want ring and vibrate, should I have a forth choice?
I am not saying one way is necessarily better than the other, but you are making a different compromise that may not please everybody either.
Android also chose to have a two choice switch rather than three choice switch. There maybe some apps that would allow you to do it differently via a widget though.

I am not saying it's worse, I am saying it's a different compromise and not necessarily a better compromise. Personally, I prefer ring and vibrate, which is not even supported in your solution unless you have a 4 choices option.
My preferred solution is to open up the APIs to developers and make the OS customizable. Unfortunately, I think that's too Android for Microsoft.

As far as I can tell, the alarm volume is separate from the the other phone volume settings. Regardless of the volume settings, it seems to start off relatively quiet and get progressively louder as you let it go. Even with the phone on silent or vibrate, the alarm still goes off.

Um...4 choices (ring, ring+vibrate, vibrate, silent) is the ONLY way it should exist, as far as I'm concerned. I could care less whether all you use is ring and silent; if all I use is ring+vibrate and vibrate, ALL 4 options should be exposed ALL the time. You cannot convince me that allowing 4 options at a time inconveniences people so much that other people should be inconvenienced completely.

So you will need to click three times to go from ring to silent? Not to mention you will have to remember which comes after which. How is that any easier than click setting->ringtone->vibrate?
If you have to have 4 options, then either have two buttons (ring/silent, vibrate on/off) or have a drop down list. Either would require only 2 clicks at worst to jump between options.

Why do you have to remember which comes after which (and I don't think that would be very difficult in any case)?

All Ring/Vibrate/Silent options should be exposed, all the time. PERIOD. You should very VERY rarely need to go into settings, and certainly not to switch between two commonly used modes.
Counting "steps" is a valid way to talk about complexity. For example, someone could say "WP7 only requires one step, long pressing the camera button, to go from standby to camera. iPhone and Android require at minimum 2 steps: unlocking the phone and tapping the camera icon."
This cannot be applied to what I'm asking for, however! Tapping up to 3 times in the SAME PLACE to toggle between 4 ring modes is NOT 1 "step" more complicated than tapping 2 times to toggle between 3 ring modes! That's like saying that the volume rocker is poorly designed because you have to click it 30 times to get from the highest volume to the lowest volume!
I'm dissapointed by options in mango. I liked far more the prvious ringer or vibrate. I'mean why should i ever want an option to ring without vibrate. Thats a personal choice and let it be sationary, it belongs into settings menu.
About sound levels, I agree, that ringers / notifications should have sepperate controll, sth like nokia phones have, like 5 levels and thats it. And they should fix the bug if there is appointment notification in calendar then alarm clock does not work...
It's the little niggles that annoy people the most
Fortunately they're probably the easiest to fix
Hopefully this will be changed in an update, like saving camera settings was. I'd like to be able to click the icon when you press the volume rocker to go Ring and Vibrate, Vibrate AND then Silent.
Does anyone else has this problem?
My GN won't play lock/unlock screen sound even "Screen Lock Sound" is checked.
My GN won't play Keypress sound even "Sound On Keypress" is checked.
Anyone has any idea what would be the cause..?
I have looked in /system/media/ui and all the sound files are there. It just won't activate the sound. Is there any step I have to do first to make it play sound?

Have you turned down the system settings sounds? They can be turned down individually from the global ringer sounds I believe.

First you have to unzip the zip file from pascanu
Connect your Nexus to your computer and transfer the files over.
I couldn't see the "Tasker" folder, I'm on a Mac, so I got around this by first copying the files over to a temp folder, then use Astro to move the files to the proper folder, which is Tasker>profiles
Open Tasker, press and hold the profile tab (where the words "profile" are) The option to import will appear.
Import all 4 profiles, and you're good to go.
The only issue I have with pascanu's profile is, the phone screen doesn't seem to shut off, so my cheeks might press something by accident...
thanks that worked but i just unzipped the file directly from root explorer. and yes, the only thing keeping this from being completely useful is the proximity censor not turning the screen off when held to your face

I figured out how to turn the display off
Click on "Speaker OFF" then click the box with the green arrow and "Speakerphone OFF", a window will pop up, click the +, then Display>System Lock
Problem is, if you try and add a "display on" to the "Speaker ON" portion, Tasker tells me the action is not available, which means you'd have to hit the power button and turn the display on before proximity sensor kicks in and turn on the speakerphone.
pascanu, perhaps you have a more elegant solution?
Guys.... super easy alternative. download the app upsounddown from market. Its free - and you can set it for auto speakerphone when the phone is turned upside down, flat, shaken, or proximity. Its awesome and I use it all the time with no issues - just make sure you turn "on" the app from within itself after you install (no need after a reboot)

I just realized that the screen doesn't turn off (I was just playing with it).
I'm afraid there is no solution to this:
Proximity Sensor
Active when the proximity sensor of the device reports than an object is nearby.
After setting this state up, you should calibrate it by covering and then uncovering proximity sensor a couple of times.
Proximity isn't monitored while the display is off.

I tried using the keyguard action in Tasker but it only works the first time, so it's pretty much the same as display off (and as such the proximity sensor isn't monitored afterwards). I'll try looking into it a little longer maybe today.
I'm pretty sure that if Tasker can't do it neither can a standalone app.
It's not a real problem for me since I only want it to work when my phone is charging (in car, on the dashboard), so I added another condition (phone charging).
SOLVED !

Is there any way to mute all notification sounds without vibration? When I'm working I don't want my phone to make any sounds or vibrate while it's laying on my wooden desk. I'm coming from Samsung Galaxy devices and there was always an option to mute ALL notifications, sound and vibration. Am I missing something? Shouldn't have to turn on Do Not Disturb for something so simple that I'm sure many people use.

Why "shouldn't have to turn on DND"? What you want is exactly what DND does. No sounds and no vibration. You can even choose which notification can go through with priority mode

I don't understand why turning the volume all the down with the rocker turns on vibrate instead of just turning down the volume. DND presents you with a myriad of options that make muting your phone take more steps than necessary. My S7 had DND and I never had to use it, guess why? Turning down the volume actually turned down the volume and nothing else. I could even mute the phone with the screen off or locked so no I shouldn't have to use a "feature" that takes more button presses than necessary.

That's cool you could do that with the screen off. There's a couple simple ways to do DND from the lockscreen. One is double tapping the screen (or press power) and volume down all the way until you get to vibrate then press volume down again to mute which then turns DND on. You can also get out of DND with the volume button too. Someone mentioned this already. Or you can double tap to wake (Or press power), slide down the the notification menu, tap DND toggle. Both are not many steps really and no unlocking necessary.

How do I mute the dial pad without setting the phone itself to mute or DND?

It's under Advanced Settings in the Phone app. "Dial pad tones"
