Use voice dialing when the screen is locked

For information on using voice dialing, see Dial by contact name using voice dialing.

If you turn on the preference to use voice dialing when the screen is locked, you access voice dialing by turning on the screen if it is off (see Turn the screen on/off), and then pressing and holding volume. You do not need to enter your PIN or password to unlock the screen.

If this preference is on and you have a headset attached to your smartphone, you can access voice dialing when the screen is locked by pressing and holding the button on the headset—you don’t need to turn the screen on first.

Sounds & Ringtones

Use the ringer switch

Sliding the ringer switch off (red means off) not only turns off the ringer for incoming phone calls, it also turns off system sounds like the Calendar notifications and the camera shutter click when you take a picture. The ringer switch does not affect music and video sound.

By default, when the ringer switch is off, you can still hear the Clock alarm. If you want to change this setting so that turning off the ringer switch also turns off the Clock alarm sound, go to Clock > Preferences. Under Ringer Switch Off, change Play alarm anyway to No. If you set this option to No, be sure to change it back to Yes the next time you set an alarm—otherwise, you won’t hear the alarm if the ringer switch is off.

Set ringer switch settings

You can set how your smartphone treats system sounds and rings for incoming calls when the ringer switch is off and when it is on.
