Help Turn over to Silence setting?

I'm pretty sure the idea is that if your at work and your worried your phone might right but you don't want to mess around changing settings you can just turn it over and it won't ring until you turn it over again, basically toggling the silent mode from on when face down to off when face up. That's how I understood it. I just tried it on my HTC Desire HD, so I rang my phone and it started ringing, your suggestion that it goes silent if you turn the phone over didn't hold up, nothing happened, it was ringing, I turned the phone face down on my table but it kept on ringing. Also when its face down and the phone is set to ring and vibrate it still rings. any ideas? It should be silent when face down, I've seen people complain that this happens and they DON'T WANT IT TO so it is the desired functionallity, just need to know how to activate or turn it off. thanks

Hi,

I just write a simple app based on your requirement. Go to market and search by "flip over". This app will go into silent mode or vibrate mode if you flip over the phone. Also it has feature to enable the back camera preview to detect whether you are in pocket or hand bag. If detect, ignore the silent feature.

A bonus point is another feature about voice recording. Hope it is useful when you sudden talk to you boss. :)

Thanks for trying and rating.
