Sorry for a dumb question

[PixelPanda]

I just got my DX in the mail and I feel really dumb, but how do I set the phone to just a straight vibrate mode?

Volume rocker down until it vibrates.

You can also do that from your lock screen or by holding down the power button will bring up a menu.

also you can find some widgets in the market that can do that for you.

if nothing else, android has plenty of options to do something

There is no such thing as a dumb question.......just dumb people who ask questions.

just kidding, I really dont think it is a dumb question. Does the X have the option on the unlock screen like other droids to silent the phone? Slide right to unlock and slide left to turn sound off

dont worry man....im sitting here waiting on my x to show up from fedex. i'll ask way dumber questions than this by the end of the day im sure lol

it has the standard android 2.x lock screen, so yes sliding to the right unlocks and sliding to the left puts it in vibrate mode

Sorry but that's not correct.

It does not put it in VIBRATE mode. It puts it in SILENT mode (no vibration).

maybe it's a 2.2 thing then. when i swipe left, the vibrate icon appears in the notification bar.

I think it is a 2.2 thing...at least that's what I had read. That's much better than putting it in silent, IMO.

Also, to anyone who is using "Profiles": do you know if you set it to Vibrate using the volume rocker, or if you adjust the volume with the volume rocker, does it in any way affect your profiles? I don't want to think I have it set to vibrate when I'm in court and then have it go off...that REALLY pisses the judges off.

Actually the first swipe left mutes to silent mode but if you swipe left again ir should go to vibrate mode.

That would be awesome if it does that, but mine sure doesn't. If you swipe left, it goes to silent, and if you swipe left again, it goes into sound. That's all I got. Running 2.1, fwiw...

I have the lock feature disabled so easiest way for me to silence my phone is push power button an instead of power off silence all

if you want that with 2.1, you can purchase widgetlocker, their lock slider can be made to do that.

currently i've been using it, and it's a neat app. well worth the $2 imo

... I am using Widgetlocker now and this is why they are reporting the stock one doesn't do this, it looks and feels so much like the original and so flawlessly that my brain forgot that that was what I was using, my mistake.

WidgetLocker is worth a look and also worth the price because it allows you to customize your lock screen any waay you want, with widgets, shortcuts or change lock launcher. Grab it from Market or at WidgetLocker Lockscreen - Android app on AppBrain
