vibrate function on the C3
Does anyone know a simple shortcut on the C3 to switch from ringtone to vibrate for incoming calls?
On my previous Samsung phone I could press and hold the # key to switch to, or exit from silent/vibrate mode. One key, one action. Simple.
All I can find on the C3 to use to switch to vibrate is by using Menu/Settings/Audio/Ringtone. By following this path, and then using the soft key to go through the options to the right, the next setting after Ringtone is Vibrate. The problem is that as soon as you get to the Ringtone step, the ringtone sounds. This is not desirable if you are sitting in the middle of a theater and remember that you need to silence your cell phone. The last thing I want to do is trigger the phone to make noise when t...

I would believe it is the same as the C300:
Press and hold the * key while on the 'home' screen.
It will change between vibrate and ringtone mode.
Another thing, any alarms you have set to "Wake-Up" will bypass this.
Hope that helps.

Yes, that did the trick! And though I rarely use the alarm functions, I will heed your warning that they would still sound even if vibrate is set on.
Now I feel really silly that I did not experiment with the * key before even asking the question since my former phone used the # key the same way. It's so logical that there would be some shortcut and it had to be one of the special symbols. Why different phone manufacturers can't mimic each other more is beyond me, but I guess we are luckly we even have as much uniformity as we do across brands.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
