Help Silent Mode is not silent at all.

I know there are a few widgets out there that you can shut stuf off with.

There is also the app "timeriffic" that I use. It shuts off stuff at what ever time you tell it to.

I have heard of an app called "locale' that will do the same thing but is based on your location.

Hope that helps.

FYI...In addition to Location, Locale has 4 other conditions that it works with: Battery level, Calendar(date), Contact(settings based on a particular contact, duh), and Time.

PS - Do an Android market search for "Silent" and you will find multiple apps for silencing your phone.

All widgets I tried only mute the ringer. However, I use a free app called Sound Manager. It allows you to place a shortcut to your home screen to mute all sounds similar to a widget. It also allows you to control all volume levels within the app, as well as ring modes and vibrate modes. Gives you the option to schedule your sound settings too. Very cool app!!!

One word of warning when installing the "mute all" shortcut from the app it will reload Sese Home, at least it did for me. Would be nice if it had a real widget but it works better than anything I've tried.
