Eineheminlampi "Silent" ambience should actually be silent

good to know. This really needs to be fixed asap. Hopefully there will be a silence shortcut too in the future, I dont want to change my ambience for that

IMHO Silence shouldn't silence alarms. How would you get up in the morning if you silence your phone then?

Silencing the ringtone is easy to do as a single action, if that's all you want to have happen while you sleep. It seems like kind of a trivial thing to warrant a whole a separate ambience. On the other hand, silencing the entire phone (including calendar alarms, clock alarms, app noises, and other such things which one also might want to have silenced in a wide variety of contexts) is basically impossible to do as a single action, and could definitely benefit from an ambience.

I can understand people might have different needs from a "Silent" ambience, and, sure, I was able to reconfigure the ambience myself to set all the notification tones to "no sound", which got me most of what I wanted (except the app silencing). But it would be helpful if there was at least some kind of description field for the ambience that made it a little clearer that silencing the communication notifications is the only thing it does. Sound control on these phones is extremely confusing, and it's frustrating (not to mention error-inducing) how many different things I have to fiddle with just to make sure that the phone won't embarrass me in places where I'm supposed to be quiet.

Well, it works exactly as the "Silence phone" menu entry in the pulley menu on the home screen on SFOS1: No ringtone or sounds from notifications, but alarm does sound, so it's pretty consistent in my eyes.

hm, I have the same setup like in SFOS1 now: one ambience (with the right contrast) and silence via volume buttons. For me this is better now than with SFOS1 because with the volume buttons you can control the volume of ringtone and sounds global. The ambience may be a fast starter. But all other control via volume buttons.
