Can anyone tell me what the button on the top of the phone that looks like a speaker with a slash through it does? I've pressed it and searched for it's function and can't seem to find anything about it.

I believe it is the "Mute" button.

I think it's for muting music and videos. Have not really used it though to know for sure.

[Bla1ze]

I broke my top two buttons, neither of em work any more anyways.

But yeah, mute button for ringing to stop and lock button.

[Shiftybob]

Right on, thanks. I always thought it was for changing the ring profile, like pressing the speaker button on the homescreen to mute the volume or turn on the vibe or change the ringers and such.

I wish we could map a function to that mute button -that has to be the most worthless feature on the phone.

In older software version you can press it when locked to change to vibrate only. I've read that no longer works with newer features (whether intentional or not).

It pauses music and videos in the media player and switches to vibrate when locked well at least in .75 that's one of the reasons I downgraded because .113 cant be real if it disables that function doesn't make sense to me.

Didn't know it did anything while the phone was locked. Glad I asked though, I could use that feature.

on the 8900 the Lock button locks the phone and the mute button puts it in standbye.

I use it to start/stop music playing. Its great. Even works while the phone is locked and is in the leather sleeve thing.

When I press the Mute button on my Storm, the movie The Miracle Worker stats playing.

[SAFE_NAFE]

That's because its not the mute button like these people keep saying. It pauses and un pauses whatever media you had playing.

Button still toggles between ring and vibrate, however the phone needs to be in a holster and in sleep mode.
