Awful conclusion. If the user gives conflicting commands, tell them so. That's responsible design. Or, avoid it, by making the switch 3 state. 1St mute: user

Awful conclusion.

That's responsible design.
Or, avoid it, by making the switch 3 state. 1St mute: user is telling to silence all, except alarms. 2nd, user is disabling all sounds, whatsoever, even if he turn on noise fart app.
That's good design.
- bradwestness 15y agoIt's stupid that my crappy old LG phone had an "Alarms Only" mode, but modern smartphones don't. I never replaced my old alarm clock when it stopped working, because I just used the alarm mode on my phone. Now, my new smartphone doesn't have that feature and there's no way to use it to wake me up in the morning without it also making sounds when my uncle in another timezone forwards me a hilarious text message at 3 am. The only workaround is to individually set every sound event to silent and then turn off vibrate, which is kind of ridiculous, especially when I want the phone to make sounds again the next day.
- pbreit 15y ago3 way switches are terrible design. It's not conflicting is the switch is referred to as the "ringer" switch, as Apple does.
- gcb 15y agoI'm not even sure 3way switch is the best solution. My point is: solve it. Don't hide behind a explanation. If a few user have the problem, it's bad design. Period.
