How do you turn off ALL sound?

Even with my sound switch turned off, my apps still have sound coming out thru the speaker. It seems that the switch only controls the sound of my ring. How do I turn EVERYTHING off? Is there something wrong with mine?
I don't know if my phone has always been this way because only recently with all the new apps have I been using it for more than just a phone.

Sigh...
Anyway, two fixes for this problem.
1. Plug in the earphone. But what if I don't wanna do that. Pretty dumb.
2. Lower the volume to zero. A constant hassle to adjust volume. Currently firmware, the volume control is kinda cranky.
Well, when in silent mode, I usually don't use the iPod, YouTube or whatever radio app.
It's a situation where I simply wanna play a game and not annoy others in a quiet waiting room. And I don't really carry my earphone with my iPhone all the time. The iPhone is still primary a phone. Like all my previous mobile phones, it's just a simple switch - silent switch/mode on.

    How can you turn off the sounds for receiving a text or e-mail while on a phone call???

    That's the most stupid thing. It may work but the phone shouldn't be going off in your ear while in use from the start.

  • How do you turn off "All My Files"

    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and there are several things that drive me crazy, one being when I open Finder, instead of just going to the root of the hard drive, it opens this "All My Files" page. Is there a way to turn this off?

    You wouldn't happen to know how to turn off that god awful side scroll viewing mode for files would you? If I select "Arrange by Kind" or "Arrange by Date Modified" it crams everything into this one narrow row where you can only see a couple files at a time and you have to scroll through them sideways.

  • How do you turn off all email notificatons on this forum?

    I have a serious problem concerning using these forums.  I started a thread and I wanted to receive an email notification when someone answered my question.  I clicked on receive email notification up to the right.  Now I get notifications for all the threads in the forum.  This is several hundred per day.  I went and turned off the notification on the thread. Also, I went to notification preferences and checked no for each of the choices.  Made sure I saved the changes.    Still getting all of them.
    I have a habit of having Many (15-20) tabs open in Firefox.  I had several different threads open at the same time.  I don’t know if this has anything to do with my question, but I did see some receive email notifications checked on some of the threads. I turned of email notifications wherever I found them.
    How do I turn all of these notifications off?  I can’t find a forum  to post questions about operation of the forum, so I’m posting here.
    Your assistance is very much appreciated.

  • How do you turn off beeping sound when you put a call on hold

    I spend a lot of time on conference calls and get calls coming in on the other line which I want to switch over to. The iPhone's hold feature is great for just popping over quickly to the other call and then coming back to the first call, the problem is that there is a beeping sound to the audience on the fist call while they are on hold. Is there anyway to turn this beeping feature off, I don't want to disrupt the conference call while I flip over to the second call? Does anyone know if you are on mute, does it still beep for the party on the first call?

    There is no beep on the line when I place a call on hold, whether the iPhone is on mute or not (just tried this by calling my desk phone then placing the call on hold). It may be generated by the carrier, instead of the phone.
    A workaround may depend on your t/c system - for example, dialing *5 on ours places you on mute in the t/c system, not locally.

  • HT4993 How do you turn the weird sound off when sending a text using the iPhone 4S

    How do you turn the weird sound off when sending a text using the iPhone 4S?

    Go to Settings-Sounds-Text Tone and change to None.  You're referring to the sound when posting a message to someone else, correct?  The only issue is if you set to none, you will not hear the incoming either.

  • How do you turn off Camera?

    In an AIR application, how do you turn off the camera once it has been activated? I remove all references to Video objects associated with the camera, unattach the camera from NetStreams, and remove references to the camera object. This does not deactivate the camera; it seems to be necessary to run the garbage collector too. The trouble is that running the program in the debugger with the manual garbage collector action causes the application to be unresponsive for >30 seconds, which is extremely annoying. Is there a simpler way to turn off the camera?
    For reference, I am testing on a MacBook that has an LED for when the camera is in use.
    EDIT:
    I have opened a bug for this, which Adobe appears to say is an enhancement.

    This is the most annoying thing on an otherwise awesome phone...can't take pics at my nieces school plays and stuff now. Blackberry Needs to fix this NOW! It is not illegal in the US to turn off your shutter sound....WTF Blackberry?!?

  • HT204368 Why does connection to a bluetooth device turn off all sounds but the ring tone?

    I have a Bernafon bluetooth device that connects via bluetooth to my iPhone 4 running iOS6 and routes the telephone through my hearing aids however, it appears that connecting via bluetooth turns off all sounds other than the incoming call ring tone.  This has caused me to miss several time sensitive text messages and emails.  Does anyone have a solution? 

    Without knowing what DAQ Hardware you have and what version of NI-DAQ you are using, it's hard to say exactly how to resolve this. However, I would suggest using the Intermediate and Advanced Digital VIs rather than the Easy VI because you have more control. There are examples that ship with LabVIEW and examples online that should assist you. There is also a KnowledgeBase 24BECT4U that may be helpful.

  • Turn off All Sounds

    I've got an application that I'm building that uses a variety
    of sound effects. These are currently sprinkled throughout the app.
    in buttons, mcs & 1 or 2 on the main timeline. Is there an easy
    way to add a button to turn off all sounds, if the user doesn't
    want them? I've tried applying the "turnoffallsounds" to no avail.
    Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

    siney,
    > I haven't defined targets as they are kind of spread
    > around. So can I add that line of code to a button
    event?
    You can. As dbeech mentioned, the Sound class acts globally
    in
    ActionScript 2.0 if you omit a target in the constructor to
    the Sound class.
    This basically means you can easily create a global volume
    control as
    described here (doesn't matter if your sounds are timeline
    based or
    ActionScript-based):

  • How can I turn off the sound from the original midi  or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

    How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
    I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

    Dan,
    It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
    Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
    This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
    One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
    Hope that helps

    Hi AppleMan 1958,
    Sorry I was typing too quickly ....
    It should have said: "How do I turn off the 'Ken Burns' effect of all the photos without..."etc.
    Having read another comment on this forum, I think I have the answer.
    By going to File>Project Properties, and then turning off the Ken Burns effect.
    Don't know how you feel about iMovie 11, but I think its pretty awesome don't you think?
    Thanks for pointing out my stupid question!
    Kind regards,
