Is there a quick way to put your phone on silent or vibrate when going into a meeting etc.
I'm new to WP, but the way I've been doing it is by pressing the power button to get to the lock screen (of the screen is dark), then pressing up or down on one of the volume buttons. The current volume appears on the screen; you can then hold down the volume down button and the phone will go to silent mode at 0, or you can tap where it says "ring" on the top right corner. Tapping the "ring" icon repeatedly will toggle sound on and off.
There's now way to set a WP8 device to 'silent' using the volume buttons and the volume drop-down that appears. When you turn the volume to '0' it automatically puts the phone on 'vibrate'.
You have to go into the settings menu and turn vibrate 'off', at which point turning the volume to '0' will put the phone in silent.
I have no clue why Microsoft didn't just include a simple 'silent' option from the volume drop-down menu, it seems like a no brainer.
I just wish you could set it to vibrate while set to silent without it also set to vibrate while it's set to ring.
it blows my mind why we don't have ringer profiles....they were in WM6.5 It is a ridiculous situation.
Got my Lumia 920 yesterday. I have a habit of putting my BB to silent before bed. Love the phone and OS but can't believe there are no profiles, let alone not an option to put it to silent using the volume rockers.
