Use "Mute a While" and that will never happen to you again! "Mute a While" is very useful during meetings and other situations where either Ringing is not allowed or not appropriate. It allows you to simply silence the ringer of your phone for a specified amount of time and once the amount of time is elapsed, the ringer automatically switches back to normal mode. With this app, forgetting to switch back the ringer to normal mode will belong to the past and you will never miss again that important call that could change your life! Features: - Mutes ringer for incoming calls and notifications for specified period of time - Ringtone volume is automatically set back to the original volume after expiration of the set time - Vibration mode on/off for incoming calls and notifications during the muted period - Home widget for quick access and user feedback How to use: To mute: - Open the application or click the home widget. - A screen appears with a time picker showing the default time the ringer will be switched back.

Also a checkbox is shown to turn the vibration mode on/off for incoming calls and notifications during the muted period. - Clicking the Set button will Mute you ringer immediately and arrange switch back and the specified time. To un-mute before time period elapsed: - Open the application or click the home widget. - The screen appears again, however it proposes the current time as end time for the mute period. - Clicking the Set button will switch the ringer of your phone back to normal immediately instead of at the earlier set time.
