Hi there!
I have an idea that about sound profile selection on Phone Options Menu (the menu that appears when you long press on power button). We can erase the vibrate and sound off and made them together in a slider.
I've made something to show my idea.
If someone can do it it'll be awesome and I'll be grateful
Good luck!

xda2 gprs switch off
this is a little known feature, but one which is very very useful. if your xda2 for some reason connects to a gprs connection you can easily turn it off again by pressing the red button (phone down key) for 2~3 seconds. avoiding the problem of having to switch off and switch on the wireless connection.
###############################################
xda2 speaker phone
when in a call, you can activate the xda2 speaker phone by pressing the green button (pick up phone) for 2~3 seconds.
###############################################
xda2 camera
when using the camera you can press the top left button on the handset (contacts button) to change the orientation of the icons on the screen.
###############################################
screen brightness
the screen is a very bright one, squeeze more life out of the battery by turning it down. go to start - settings - system - power : click on the word back light at the bottom and adjust to about half way for when running off the battery. half way is a very usable brightness, you can go lower if you don't mind it being slightly dim.
###############################################
accidental pressing of buttons
by default pressing any button on the xda2 will switch the machine on. you can stop all buttons activating the xda2 (bar the power switch) by going to start - settings - button lock : select lock all buttons except power button.
###############################################
sending a video clip via mms
to send a video clip via mms you have to change the format to which it is saved. go to start - programs - camera (or just start the camera). click on the screwdriver and wrench icon. click tools - options : click the video tab. in the capture format drop down box highlight H.263 - this is the standard 3gp mobile video phone format.
###############################################
adding your own sound to a xda2 action
you can add your own sounds to xda2 notifications, like receiving an sms, by simply creating the sound you want as a wav file. you can do this on your main computer (sound recorder in "start - programs - accessories - entertainment - sound recorder" is a simple piece of software to do this). then pass the file onto the xda2 using activesync / email / etc... you must copy the file into the "my device - windows" folder using file explorer. next go to settings, choose "sounds & notifications". click on the notifications tab, choose the event you want to assign the sound to e.g. "inbox: new sms message". make sure play sound is selected with a tick - now choose the sound that you have just copied into the "my device - windows" folder from the drop down box.
Nice one..
One or two i didnt know...
Thanx...
ignoring incoming calls
A helpful one:
When u receive a call that u don't wanna answer, instead of rejecting it by pressing "ignore or the red phone button, u can push the volume button up or down putting the ringer off. The caller won't get the busy signal and won't know u deliberately rejected his call. :wink:
When Phone application is active, pressing the 5-way navigation key
Up: goto call history
Down: goto speed dials
When sound is turned off (ie X) then pushing volume slider up once will take it to vibrate mode, and pushing again takes u back to normal sound levels.
Doesn't seem to be a way of doing the reverse though?
battery saving
install software that you use often on your XDA storage and NOT on an extra SD storage card. This saves much battery (less card-IO).
Abroad meeting/appointment alerts
If you travel a lot for meetings in different time zones, don't creat the calendar entry in your current time zone, instead, change the time zone to the destination, creat the calendar item then get back to your time zone. Otherwise the reminder will not set off properly.
1. pressing and holding the power button for 2-3 sec toggles the backlight on/off
2. Hold the Action Button and tap on the clock at the right hand corner of the screen; It will pop up a menu with the Run Option. Then you can use the run as your command prompt.
3. how to:

Hi, I could not find how to decrease or stop the volume of reminders' notification. I find it so irritating when it rings increasingly, and so difficult to stop as I must first open the screen before being able to press the screen and stop it.
Cool... Nice one dude!
Choice for Screen tap sound is either 1) no sound 2) soft or 3)loud. Soft or loud is just a "tkkkk" sound. Does anyone know how to change to a more ear friendly sound ?
I guess these would be hardcoded into the rom and the phone won't allow you to change them. Look under the windows directory for all .wav files. With some luck, you might be able to find it.
screen tab sounds are pretty annoying, as everyone around you will hear that you are working on your phone... i turned every sound off.
Press the Call Button -> Number Page Come out -> Menu -> Options - > Phone Tab Page -> Keypad changed to OFF
there u goes.. no sound for tabbing of buttons..
Is there any way to do this because say if im listening to a song and i want to change it i always gotta turn on the screen in order to do so when i really dont need to.
any help would be greatly appreciated
Plug in your headphones
that doesnt work - it makes no differnece to the buttons
There's a way to modify that radio button on the stock headphone piece to do one command. It can be stop, forward, back, or whatever.
Can you please be more specific on how to change track using the button on the headset? also having the problem where screen turns on everytime I change track. GSplayer has this feature, but I prefer WMP
i dont use the original headphones - there must be a reg edit or something to allow the use of buttons with the screen off?

the easiest thing you can do is change the button config within WMP.
- Open WMP
- Go to view the player (not the library) by either playing a song or by hitting OK
- Hit Menu > Options > Buttons
- Scroll all the way down and select "Toggle Screen"
Now this is where you have to decide what button you want to use to turn the screen on and off, personally, I picked the center button (the optical joystick button) as my on and off screen, which is currently the Play/Pause button. For these instructions, I will use that button as the example.
- Hit the "Assing" button and hit the middle (optical joystick) button.
- Hit OK
Now you can turn the screen on/off (by hitting that button) while still being able to increase/decrease the player's volume, change tracks back or forward, and if you do a long press then you can fast forward or rewind the track.
Hope this is what you were looking for...
Hope this helps

awesome - thanks mate!
Are there shortcuts to activate/deactivate silent mode and vibrate mode or is the menu or volume button the only way? Sometimes I want to increase the volume and switch on vibrate, which doesn't seem possible unless you go into the menu. Also is there a way to set it to one ring only, or beep mode?
You can install any of the "switch mode" widget that you can find in Market, but the fastest way to change suond profile is push the volume down button for more than 2 seconds, phone will put in silent mode, then push once volume up to set it to vibrate. Push volume up for more than 2 seconds to restore full ring
Yep, seems to be the fastest way to change the volume and set silent, a bit annoying that it beeps along the way but no big deal.
But, if you do that to set it on vibrate, it doesn't seem to work for text messages... those stay silent because they have a separate setting to vibrate. WHY?!?!!!
Always seemed like an easy thing on symbian & windows mobile, you hold one button or a couple of clicks later everything is set to vibrate, especially useful if outdoors and can't hear messages.
I just hold down the END key and select "Silent Mode". Is that not an option on your phone?
Check out egg 'n stones' "Profiles" application in the market. You can define and set profiles from the application plus you can create shortcuts to any profile. For every profile you can set the volume of the different types of sounds (alarms, notifications, media, speech, etc.) It's my favourite profile manager.
Cheers.
thanks, i'll check it out
Or just install these widgets from Jerpelea's rom page. You can find the widgets link on the palm pre theme rom, 2nd post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538633
There is a really nice 1 button widget that sits on your home screen and you can press it and it cycles between silet, vibrate and ring.
Just allow the phone to accept 'unkown sources' in the application menu. Then access the widgets from the sd card (save them there) and then you can install them.
I have got a wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, brightness & volume widget that all have little blue icons that match downloaded from the marketplace..
there from Rounded Labs.. All free as well
my phone started acting weird lately. I can switch to silent or vibrating mode with the volume button when I first turn on the phone, but after I make one phonecall it stops that function and starts working as a up-down button that can navigate within the menu items and such.
I have checked all of the settings options that might have an affect on this, but couldn't find anything yet.
Any suggestions as for how I can fix this?
Vibrate all??
My volume buttons controlled all the notifications and sounds on my previous Android phones. That is NOT the case on the Samsung Vibrant. It will only control the volume for the incoming call ringer. I would have to go to settings for every notification volume to lower them and set them to vibrate. The only option I've found is t set the volume all the way down to silent on the side of the phone which will silence everything. The problem is, there is ZERO notification whatsoever. No led, no sound, no vibrate.
Isn't there a way to have the volume control all the sounds and vibration mode on the phone as a global setting?
Hi, I'm running Mur4ik's Swiftdroid 1.8 and I'm mostly very impressed.
HOWEVER, I can't figure out how to silence incoming calls. My old ROM let me slide right to answer the call and slide left to silence it (and slide left once again to reject the call).
I can't figure out how to get this feature back in Swiftdroid, or if it's even possible. There's an app in the market place called Flip4Silence that does an okay job (using the accelerometer) but it uses drains my battery like crazy (50% battery usage!!!!)
Help please! (I would have posted this in the SwiftDroid thread in the development forum but I'm not allowed to post in there)
press volume down to silence .................
Brilliant. Thanks for that. Although I prefer the sliding silencer of my old rom.
There are many methods to silence :
*Slide down the notification bar and press the sound button.
*From settings select sounds and tick "Silent mode"
*from settings select cyanogenmod settings then select sound and tick "Silent state"
*from settings select profiles and tick "Silent"
*the easy way by pressing volume down button
or you can get back the slide silence by doing the following :
1-settings
2-cyanogenmod settings
3-lockscreen
4-Style options
5-Lockscreen style
6-Select one of the first 3 choices
