There’s
nothing like being on the receiving end of disapproving glares and
not-so-subtle shushes when your phone sounds off in the wrong place—a
meeting, a movie theater, the middle of a wedding. If you don’t want to
find yourself becoming “that guy” (or girl), but you still want to know
about an incoming call, you have a couple of options.
1. Adjust the Volume
Press
the Volume button on your phone to make it louder or softer. If you
turn the volume down to 0, your phone goes into vibrate mode.
Or
tap Ring to turn off the ringer and turn on vibrate mode. (If you’ve
turned off vibrate mode in Settings, tapping Ring turns on silent mode
instead.)
2. Change Ringer Settings
On the Start screen, flick left to the Apps list, and then tap Settings.
Under System, tap Ringtones & Sounds.
Do any of the following:
Under Ringer, tap the slider to turn it off and stop your phone from making any sounds.
Under Vibrate, tap the slider to make your phone silently notify you when a call or message arrives.
Tip:
You can turn the ringer
and vibrate mode on and off independently so that your phone can ring
and vibrate, only ring, only vibrate, or play totally dead.
