Disable system speaker for a period of time?

[Decker87]

Hi all. A few times now, my phone has made noise while I was playing with it. This looks very unprofessional on me at work and in class. Sometimes it is because a friend sends me a picture, and I try to view it, then music starts playing.

The only time I EVER want any sound coming out of the loudspeaker, is when I am in a call and want it on speakerphone.

I would like to see if there is any way to take the proactive approach and disable the loudspeaker altogether, or better yet, for a certain period of time. I would feel much less wary using my phone.

Depends on the phone. but you can drop all the volume setting to off.. and just turn it up when you actually intend on using it.

I think the OP is wanting to choose which alerts make an audible sound (ie still keep the ringer on).

Use Audio Manager and use the widget. The volume you want down is system volume and especially Media volume.

I think you answered your own question there. Playing with your phone at work and school IS unprofessional. So if you want to look professional, dont play with your phone, especially opening media messages from your friends.
