Another feature I'm missing is the possibility to program a limited duration for silent mode. When I'm in a meeting or at a film I often forget to disable silent mode when it is finished. Putting the phone face down is not always an option.

I wonder why Trapini didn't mention Locale. > When I'm in a meeting or at a film I often forget to > disable silent mode when it is finished. Locale can do this with its "Defaults" mode. When a specified situation (such as a meeting) has passed, settings you specify as "Defaults" go back into effect. I do this myself. My phone goes silent while I'm in work-related meetings. I also have a sound that plays when Locale returns to its defaults, which effectively notifies me that the meeting is scheduled to end. The necessary components for this are Locale and the Locale Calendar Plug-in from DroidMunkey.

You can set Tasker to trigger silent mode based on specific calendar events if you go to State -> Calendar Entry. There are a number of ways you can trigger it: 1. You can have it be silent if your calendar indicates you're busy. 2. You can create another calendar called "silent" and have it be silent for all events in that calendar. 3. You can set the location of the calendar entry to "Silent" or have it trigger for specific locations. 4. You can have it trigger for entries with the title "Meeting" or "Movies" Then, you can add an exit task that sets it back to your default settings when the event is over. A slightly more advanced/complicated approach, but closer to what I think you want, is to write a script using the Android Scripting Environment that shows a dialog where you can enter how many minutes you want silent mode to be enabled. Then have it wait until x minutes have passed and then disable silent mode. You can then set Tasker to run that script for a specific condition, such as long pressing the search button.
