Mute/unmute with pattern lock?

How do you mute or unmute the phone while in pattern lock?

I don't think you can. To my knowledge, the device needs to be "awake"for volume rocker bar to work.

However, I think that if screen is locked and a phone call is coming in that you can mute the active (actual ringing phone) sound by pressing volume rocker down without first waking up or unlocking. This does NOT work for notifications- text or email.

Aha, I figured this out. While on the lock screen you can hold down the power button, and then press sound off.

FYI.
