Silencing Your Dell Streak Using Priority Ring Tones
Since the Lollipop version of the Android system, ringtones are now managed by priority modes.
Thus, someone who does not wish to have any ringtones at all, such as a speaker in an operating theater requiring silence who does not wish for noise, vibration or light from his screen, will have an interest in selecting 'No priority' or equivalent in this menu. Ring priority modes are available in the 'Settings' menu, available from the main screen of your Dell Streak. Once in this menu, you can go to the 'Sounds and notifications' menu, then to 'Ringtones'. In this menu of your Dell Streak you will have a choice between three options.
- No ringtone: you will have no vibration, no ringtone or even the screen that lights up.
Even the alarm clock and other emergency messages from your Dell Streak will be disabled.
With this mode, your Dell Streak is completely silent.
- 'Priority' mode: with this mode you deactivate all ringtones, except alarms and other notifications.
This option is very practical for transforming your Dell Streak into an alarm clock.
- Mode 'All': the silent mode of your Dell Streak is deactivated.
