Hi all,
I recently got myself a 6110 Navigator as i was interested in trying Symbian.
I have a question regarding system volume and muting.
When i set the phone to 'silent', as you would expect it does not ring for calls, SMS etc. It should not make any noise at all if silent. Yet it does and it is really annoying me.
You see when at work I place it on 'silent' because it is meant to be off.
Sometimes, instead of working I like to play a quick game but its games seem to ignore the 'silent' mode. The speakers on this model are VERY LOUD!
The only way to mute the sound is if the game has its own volume control which some do not. I have been caught out a few times recently, a bit embarressing.
I would like to know if there is any program available that can fully mute all sounds from S60 handsets, or allow varying levels of volume for program, systems sounds, alerts etc.? I have not been able to find any.
I have came from Windows Mobile which is infinately more configurable compaired to S60 from what I can tell. I would expect a bit more user control from a 'smartphone'.
Thanks for any help.

True lol
Have you read its review at Mobile-Review? They claim the battery to be nearly on par with N95-2 battery can you believe!

Its due to its processor that it can last longer.

seems the n95-2 batt gets better and better with the time. have to admit, with heavy usage it runs 24 h, not that bad actually. lets say some calls, 2 h wifi, 3-4 h music

Yeah but it still has terrible build quality issues.

Miss UK,
No it is not a UK model, it is Australian.
I do know of a glitch/bug that effects UK ones in that you load the maps for UK and/or Ireland and it crashes. I only have Aus maps so all good there.
The problem is with silent mode, do you know if this happens on other S60 handsets? Mine is 3rd Edition FP1. Does the same happen on other versions?
It is not the latest firmware, I might get that upgraded soon but I have a feeling that when playing games it runs seperately to the phone? and system volume. Seems to ignore 'silent'.
Pointless having a silent mode if it still makes noise... At least it wont ring, that works.
Thanks
