How to Mute a Ringing tone in 3rd edition Devices?

Comments

I've found using this API that the ring tone is silenced, but the Vibration is turned off too - is there any way to silence the ringing but maintain the vibration as per the phone's setting?

When a call arrives, its ringing tone can be muted with Phone Client Extension API, part of the API extension plug-in package for S60 3rd Edition.

3rd party Telephony API (CTelephony) can be used for observing incoming call events.

Required Capabilities:WriteDeviceData

Header File

    #include <RPhCltServer.h>   // link against PhoneClient.lib
 
    #include <PhCltExt.h>       // link against PhoneClientExt.lib
 
    ...    
 
    RPhCltServer iPhoneClientServer;
 
    RLibrary iLibrary;
 
    CPhCltCommandHandler* iPhCommandHandler;

Source File

 _LIT(KPhoneCltExDllName, "PhoneClientExt.dll");
 
    User::LeaveIfError( iPhoneClientServer.Connect() );
 
    User::LeaveIfError( iLibrary.Load(KPhoneCltExDllName) );
 
    TInt res = iLibrary.Lookup(1)();
 
    CPhCltExtFactory* phCltExtFactory = reinterpret_cast<CPhCltExtFactory*>( res );
 
    iPhCommandHandler = phCltExtFactory->CPhCltCommandHandlerLD();
 
    User::LeaveIfError( iPhCommandHandler->Open(iPhoneClientServer) );
 
    // Mute an ongoing ringing tone. This should be done inside an active object
 
    // (a class derived from CActive)
 
    iPhCommandHandler->MuteRingingTone( iStatus );
 
    SetActive();
