What is Evo's equivalent to Pre's "Silent Mode switch"?

[cyberbec#AC]

The Pre had the silent mode switch at the top of the phone...

Does anyone know what setting to set to silence everything (except alarms)?

As a current Pre user and future EVO owner, I'd also like to know. That silence switch is one of the greatest things ever designed for a phone. I'm hoping there is something even remotely as easy to use on the EVO.

Was wondering the same thing this morning as the phone interrupted a meeting. Closest thing I have found is either;

- Holding Volume down till the vibrate kics in

- Holding power button and selecting silence

Thinking in a different paradigm though (pre didnt have this out of the box), Ill probably end up with this: http://www.twofortyfouram.com/product.html

I use Beautiful Widgets from the market, adds a ton of great widgets; including a Silent Mode 1x1 widget.

I personally prefer the Beautiful Widget Time/Weather widget over HTC's.

I use locale and its absolutely awesome

Try:

Setting Profiles
or
My Settings

Both allow you to quickly change settings via a widget.

Try just holding the power button on top of the phone for 2 sec. and a menu come's up and just hit silent mode. works great and it's pretty fast.

All great suggestions .....Thanks!

Also if you enable the option to turn the phone over to silence the ringer that is even quicker.

how about hitting the power button and swiping the sound thingy,swipe left to unlock,swipe right to silence phone.

I downloaded the silent toggle widget by droidmania from the market. One tap set it to vibrate, 1 more to silent, and a final tap back to ringer on.

Hold down the power button (on top) for several seconds. This will bring up a menu. Change it to the mode you want, whether it is silence or if it is vibrate only.

I wish there was a quick way to silence it right from the lock screen. Like in stock Android where you slide the left bar to the right to unlock it and slide the right bar to the left to toggle silent mode on/off.

HTC should add this to Sense. For example, slide up to toggle silent mode, slide down to unlock. Or even have a pull-down tab at the top of the lock screen with toggles for silent mode, wifi, gps, 4g, mobile networks, etc.

I use a widget called "Simple Sound Profile Widget". It lets you set up a few different profiles, and you just put it on one of your pages. As soon as i get to work, i just hit it and select work and i'm all silent except for media and alarms. Works really well for me.

Try Lock Menu from the app market. It has up to 8 sliders that go left/right and has a toggle for silencing phone from the lock screen.

Thanks! That app is pretty awesome! I will try it out for a while and see how I like it.

Noone suggested the stock widget? Add widgets, Settings, Profile. It gives you the choice among Silent, Normal, Vibrate.
