Sound settings

Use the Sound settings to configure how and at what volume the phone rings, vibrates, or alerts you in other ways when you receive a call, you receive a notification, or an alarm sounds. You also use these settings to set the volume for music or other media with audio, and some related settings.

Silent mode Check to silence all sounds (including call and notification ringtones) except the audio from music, videos, and other media and any alarms you have set. (You must silence media and alarms in their own applications.)

Vibrate Opens a dialog where you can configure when you want the phone to vibrate when you receive a phone call or notification: Always, never, only when the phone is in Silent mode, or only when the phone is not in Silent mode.

Volume Opens a dialog where you can set the volume of ringtones that sound when you receive a phone call or notification, media (music, videos, an so on), and alarms. If you uncheck the option to use the same volume for both calls and notifications, you can set the notification ringtone volume independently.

Phone ringtone Opens a dialog where you can select the ringtone to sound when you receive a phone call. Touch a ringtone to listen to it. You can use some media applications to add a song to this list. See “Use a song as a ringtone” on page 311 to learn how to do that with the Music application.

Phone vibrate Opens a dialog where you can set the phone to vibrate whenever you receive an incoming call, only when the phone is in Silent mode, or never.

Pulse notification light On phones that pulse their Trackball light or other notification light when you receive a notification, check to pulse the light every few seconds when you have new notifications. Uncheck to pulse the light just once for each new notification when it arrives.
