Re: Is silent mode really silent.
 
I have put the following into my /etc/systemui/systemui.xml after seeing this thread to add a 'Shut Up.' command to the power buttons menu. It might reduce the touchscreen-awkwardness when everybody is looking at me trying to silence my phone ;)

Code:




 <menuitem priority="600" name="Shut Up.">
  <callback service="com.nokia.xterm" path="/com/nokia/xterm" interface="com.nokia.xterm" method="run_command" bus="session" autostart="true">
  <argument type="string">/usr/bin/amixer set Master 0%</argument>
  </callback>
 </menuitem>
It's not very fast and also leaves an XTerminal window open.
That's because I am way to tired to (have the desire to try to) figure out how to translate this to the format used in the xml.
I think I'll keep it in there for now, though, so it might be of use to someone else as well...

Obligatory word of caution for non-powerusers:
Editing your system files is dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. You might brick your device, quite badly. Also, you need to be root to do this. (If you didn't know that, don't do it :) )

Yeah the YouTube one has got me a couple of times, quite embarrassing, though I'd guess far less embarrassing than if it was youpo...... well anyway.

This is really embarrassing on behalf of maemo developers. Should we make bug report or maybe have a little brainstorm session about what is the right thing to do (even we know how all the other phones and devices work but lets have a nice little chat about principles and many many different point of views from developers and lots of conversation.....saatanan tunarit*) :P

Re: Is silent mode really silent.
 
to add an additional wrinkle to this discussion, i would like a mode where im and email (4 + 2) notifications are silent but the phone would still ring. this is so i could have the fone on the bedside table and be woken only by fone calls.

maybe theres a file somewhere that controls what makes a noise and what vibrates? i mean theres one to control the led, and the vibrate style..

Ps.. can you tell im a noob? hehe

the phone alarm also rings in silent mode (i used to use vibrate under my pillow so as not to wake anyone.)
