[Q] Quickest way to silence/vibrate the phone from the lock screen

[dipdeol]

I'm planning on getting this phone, but I'm skeptical about the new lock screen not having an option to quickly set the phone to vibrate. Is the quickest way to do this by unlocking the phone and then holding the volume button down or using a home screen widget?

Not sure if it still works in ICS, BUT if you are on the lockscreen hold the power button down like you are going to turn the phone off. You should get the power down menu.

Then use the volume rocker accordingly to lower/mute the volume of the phone.

Can anyone confirm this still works on ICS?

when a call comes in, press volume Down and it immediately mutes the ringtone but leaves the screen on

That's what the volume bug is for

I wasn't referring to silencing when a call is coming in. I was talking about setting the phone to vibrate so it doesn't ring when going into a quiet area.

The quickest way to do it I find is press power once to turn on the screen (no need to slide unlock) and then hold down power. You'll get three options, the first of which is to put the phone into silent mode.
