Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / January 2004Cingular T720 on/off tones
Is there any way to turn off the music this thing plays when you turn it off or on? When the theater reminds you "please turn off cell phones" the last thing I want is the thing singing out a song. > Is there any way to turn off the music this thing plays when you turn it > off or on?

Even better, I should remember how extremely literal minded some people can be, and post a great long list of potential occasions when one might like to silently turn off a cell phone. Put it on vibrate > > Is there any way to turn off the music this thing plays when you turn it > > off or on?

If they'd just answer, ask whomeever to "hold on", and excuse themself to the lobby, all would be fine. This shows consideration for others, and would engender significant respect from me. >>>Is there any way to turn off the music this thing plays when you turn it >>>off or on?

So the use instructions aren't "Turn it off, then later on" but rather "Change it to vibrate, then turn it off; Later turn it on and be sure to remember to change out of vibrate mode". BTW, is there any reason that anyone would ever actually want the phone to make a noise when it's turned off? Does your TV set play a tune when you turn it off? The lights in your house? Your car? I had found it difficult to believe anything could be designed so stupidly, but I guess it is. It's really cute watching you all argue. But one easy alternative if th phone is a sony ericsson is to press the menu and 2 keys to ente silent mode. This way it won't ring. If you aim to turn it off though it is a system setting that cannot be removed since even clearing ou the cingular defaults leaves you with a phone default sound. Th purpose, though, unlike your car is to warn you that you turned it of and not just cancelled the call. This helps when phones like mine us the same key for 3 functions to know when you held it down long enough - roswell10 tmoran@acm.org wrote > Is there any way to turn off the music this thing plays when you turn it > off or on? If you're not already in vibrate mode then hit the down-volume button a bunch of times quickly until you're in vibrate or silent mode. Then open the phone and turn it off. Not totally silent, but better than the alternative. tg. You could also press up on the thumb mouse and choose the ring style you like, no sound generated at all using this method. |
