When going to silent mode (lock screen, pull down menu), often you know the time of silence needed, like an one hour meeting or a concert of 3 hours. Why can't I set this time? It is annoying when you notice that you have lost calls and messages when you have forgot to set off silent mode.

One fast way to implement this could be an extra screen with options: permanent, 1h, 3h, 6h.

Edit: Alternatively the timer could be set permanently in settings. So, if I select 2h, silent mode would always last 2 hours. After that, some signal reminds me to re-enable silent mode. – Better suggestions?

Actually a cool idea, but not easy to implement so it does not get in the way of people who don't care about that.. And well there is also the fact that meetings often run late ;)

maybe it would be better to have a silent ambience and timed amvience settings. i think your suggestion would drive me crazy when i just want to silent the phone and i have to confirm that it is permanent.

Can ambience chance be timed?

For meetings and things that are planed, I would love an integration with the calendar app. When I'm planning a meeting in the calendar, I can choose which ambience (or silent mode) will be set for the duration of the entry.
