i have a custom notifications tone and its about 10 sec long is there a way to silence it without pulling out my phone. i use to use a blackberry and all i had to do was push the volume rocker and it would silence call and the text tone. if any one know an app or how to silence incoming calls and text please let me know
Get a shorter ring tone.
Shortest way I know is to hold the power button and select "silent mode." mytouch doesnt have a dedicated switch like iphone and other phones.
Edit: just noticed I miss read the question. To silence an incoming call you can hit a volume key and it will be silent without actually hanging up. I believe this works on many phones.

Is there any way to silence the incoming phone ring. I noticed that once it started ringing there is no way you can silence the ring from the pre assigned volume level . Even if you put the audio to the lowest level the ringing volume still attains its pre assigned volume level. Wanted to ask is there any way to lower the ringing volume once it started ringing?
Is there any profiles to choose from when you are in a meeting, outdoor etc...
Do you want to silence it or reduce it, if I click on the speaker icon when phone is ringing, and click off, the sound immediately ceases.
What I normally do ...
Hi rontess,
What I normally do if I a receive an incoming call and I want to silence the ringer is I simply slide the "volume slide" button on the left down once i.e. like turning down the volume when in an actual call. This silences the phone completely!
NOTE: This does not end or place the call to voice mail it simply silences the incoming ring. So once I have silenced the call it will keep ringing "silently" or until voice mail kicks in.
Hope that was what you were looking for!
Cheers,
Steelbubble

With my Asia Rom, just click down the volume button once will make it silent. With other rom, someone said by using the power off button.
There was a thread about this several months ago.
Hope this help
I use the feature in Voice Command to announce incomming callers so I know who is calling me without looking at my phone. I have set my ringers to none, so all I hear is the name of the person who is calling. However, for some reason, Voice Command seems to ignore the system volume, and still works when I have the phone set to mute.
Does anyone know of away to force Voice Command to adhere to the system volume so my phone does not go off in class or when i am at work. It doesn't happen all the time, but I know when pressing the voice command button even when the phone is mutted, it will unmute the phone and still sound the beep and confirm your commands, then put the phone back on mute. It might be a bug that exists because of this feature, but if there is anyway i can disable it, that would be great! I don't mind having to turn my volume up when using voice command to here the command confirmations, becase having the incomming callers not going off randomly is more important.
Thanks!!!
This is what I do
Go to settings, then click on Voice Command Settings. Highlight the word 'Phone', then press options. Uncheck the box that says 'announce incoming calls'. As far as I know, this is the only way to make the voice silent when a call is recieved.
Thanks....I was hoping there was a way to do this without having to change the settings everytime I have class, but I guess not. I think its just a bug anyway because it only happens sometimes. Guess I'll have to go back to good ol' ringtones....
How do you turn the ringer off, by turning the volume all the way down with the volume slider? By clicking the speaker and then clicking off?
I hold the comm button until it goes into vibrate mode then I use the volume slider to go down to off and VC has never announced the calls when the ringer is off.
is it possible to mute the phone when it's ringing? it's qtek s200...
Sure. Use volume slider to silence the phone while it's ringing.
press the red button

is there any only one button to do it? just silence?
You want the phone to continue ringing but just silence it?
Because when you get a call in the bottom there is "answer" and "ignore". Then again if you press ignore the one calling is directed to voicemail or just hung up.
As far as I know thats the only way to immediately mute a phonecall, just press ignore.
And otherwise just use the volume slider when someone is calling. Or put the phone on vibrate when you need silence (which is also volume slider all the way down, or put it on vibrate via the com-manager).
thanks. you mean only way to silence it using volume slider when want to continue ringing. i don't want to ignore calling. the caller must be think i didn't hear the ringing...
hehe lol
Perhaps an extra program on the device would work. Inesoft Addressbook might support it.
Have it here somewhere, can check later today if it indeed has a mute button.
Just to say it more clearly: If you move the volume slider one time in any direction, the phone will mute imediately!
I think this was not understood correctly before - this is the one-key-solution you wanted, isnt it?
thanks... it works!!!
no matter what ringtones i use they only ring for 17 seconds is there a setting or way to alter this.
and how can i silence an incoming call. id like the option to answer the call or press a silence button so the other caller still
thinks the call is ringing and that the call has not just been rejected.
thanks

Sounds like your calls get diverted to voicemail after 20 seconds (takes approx 3 seconds for the phone to ring on an incomming call). Setting your divert can be network dependant, but if you go into phone settings, there is an option called "divert" which yoy can change. Be warned - if on vodafone or other similar networks, the network handles the call diversion. However if you change this, you may be charged for the phone diverting calls to voice mail.
To mute the phone on incomming call, simply turn the phone face down on the desk. This should mute the ringer. If this does not work, you need to install HD Tweek or similar to set this option.
yes mate your right my phone does get divertd to voicemail but i was getting 29 seconds i think it was on my nokia n95 when that was set to divert. on orange you cant set divert on or of by the phone you have to ring the network but cancel divert.
as for the silence calls on flip if i have the phone in my pocket and someone calls the flip does not work as i have no surface to lay it flt on i just tried it .
so if anyone else has no solution the only thing i can think of is
1 cancel call divert with my network and hope there is a third party software that can manage my voice mail . any recommendations ?
2 any recommendations of any software to silence calls by press of a button ?
thanks
ok i managed to get the ringtone to ring longer before it goes to voicemail .
the settings for that are acually in the phone ardsar says but how can i get the
phone to silince callls without turning the phone over .
im looking for a press of a button method.
thanks
Press one of the volume buttons when your phone is ringing
blimey so easy eh when you know how .
cheers mate appreciated
or you can dial this number
**61*insert your voicemail number here*11*30#
if you then hit the call button and enter this your phone will ring for 30 seconds before going to voice mail.
cheers
My question is, whenever I get a call my ringtone goes but when I click on the side buttons (volume up/down or power on/off) the ringtone is silenced. The call is not disconnected but I can't hear my ringtone anymore.
I've searched and I think this is what they call the SILENCE MODE, but I was wondering if I can disable this. Because I have my phone in my pocket and sometimes one of those buttons is pushed by accident which means I don't hear that someone is calling me.
Is it possible to disable this?
