Silent Mode -phone goes there often - missing calls

[WhiskeySix]

The mixer in Volume Control app should have been included by default. Next, volume rocker on the side should then control master volume. It just makes no sense to me that the volume control is mapped by default to RINGER volume. Who changes THAT all the time?

Here's what we need: an application that maps the volume rocker to the MASTER volume in the phone. Regardless of what's going on, it will turn everything up and down.

I just read in another forum that the Droid goes into silent mode when you plug in the usb charger and then disconnect it.

YES - I've noticed this too. When I disconnect the phone from the PC this will happen at times, also up a shutdown and startup. I can't explain why.

In addition, my shift-alt-delete doesn't reboot my droid either.

Odd stuff here but I am having this sudden random switch on of the silent mode on the Motorola Droid. Not good at all.

I just wanted to throw this out there. I noticed a couple people in thus thread wanted an app that would require a confirmation before a volume change. I use "ring guard" its fee in the market and it does just that it confirms u want a volume change just in case u bump the volume rocker it wont allow it till u confirm it.

I thought ring guard would be good. It wasn't. I had several issues with my phone after installing ring guard. Muted calls. No sound when calls came in. Worse of all - phone would ring but the screen would be locked on dark - I literally couldn't answer the call! I uninstalled and the problems went away. This was over six weeks ago - perhaps they've installed an update since. It was theoretically the perfect solution to missed calls as a result of the ringer volume being silenced inadvertently. I'll have to check and see if they updated since. mike

U know now that u mention it my phone did exactly that today.... I had a hard time answering the phone cuz I couldn't see the slider then it showed then it left. I have had this a time or two. I have actually been running ring guard for almost two months I just didn't think it would have been that. I'm gonna uninstall it for a few days and see it solves my problems. Thanks!!

Edit: I have had the no ringtone thing lately as well and then check and there was a ringtone set. Uninstalled!

I have read these posts with interests. NONE describes my problems with Silent Mode.

My phone goes to silent mode. I use the rocker switch to turn the noise up, and then after 1-5 seconds, the phone automatically reduces the volume to silent again. As I watch AND without touching the phone [please don't post saying that I am not seeing this, I have been watching it for 2 days reproducibly].

I have installed all of the silent phone modulators available including Silent Mode Jammer which just produces a cacophany of vibrates as the two actions fight each other. Silent Mode wins!

I am going to reset my phone to factory settings and start again.

I was having the same problem. I've had the phone since day one. I.figured I was inadvertently hitting the slide to make silent. I've been more careful and it gas not happened. Now the bigger issue missed calls. It took me awhile to realize this was happen because people were not leaving messages.
I was ready to return my phone even though I loved out because that is unacceptable, but I went to the verizon store first. Apparently there is this code that was not on my account I'm not sure what it was but it has solved that problem. I mean I was missing 3or 4 calls a day.
I have a feeling it may be the code that the verizon tech talks about in the thread that's pinned above in the board. I would try that first and if that didn't work I would talk to someone at a store, it took the guy 2 seconds to figure out my problem. I don't think I even finished my sentence.

Hope that helps!

I've seen that happen it was before the update though. you may want to try a factory reset before you give up with that problem. . Like I said I had that issue but the .°c.10q update fixed it for me.
