There's some times I want my Windows Phone to be completely silent - disable all ringtones, alert sounds, and app sounds/music. It's easy enough to set the phone to vibrate only for alerts/rings, but I can't find a simple way to mute everything else except to just turn the volume all the way down every time.
It would be much simpler and easier if there was a button or app I could use as a mute/unmute function - just like a TV's mute button works - which will totally silence the phone when desired and restore it to its previous volume settings when un-silenced. Is such a feature or app generally available?
