If you’re in a place where your phone sounds may disturb others, you can quickly silence your phone from the Home screen.
From the Home screen, press and hold the Power/Lock
Key then tap the Silent mode icon
.
Only one mode can
be selected at a time. The currently activated mode (Silent , Vibration
, or Sounds
) is underlined in blue. Tap any
of the sounds mode icons to switch to that mode.
OR
Open the Notifications panel and tap the Sound icon
until is displayed.
You can also use the down Volume Key to silence the
phone, but not from the Lock screen or screen timeout (which will
launch the Camera app instead). Press it until
vibration is set, then press it again to turn all sounds off. Sounds
are turned off or vibration is set.
