Muting the ring tone on incoming call on N900

Hi!

I'm trying to build an application that mutes the ring tone that is played
when I receive a phone call. I have been browsing through the documentation
and trying to find the dbus call for this purpose using dbus-monitor, but up
til now, have had slim success.

Thus far I have tried the following:

I've tried to call the org.maemo.Playback.Manager
/org/maemo/Playback/Manager org.maemo.Playback.Manager.RequestMute dbus
method with the argument set to true. I have read the documentation from
http://wiki.maemo.org/Dialer, and AFAIK it this should do just what I want.
However if I call that method, nothing happens. Here is the command I've
used:

dbus-send --session --type=method_call --print-reply
--dest=org.maemo.Playback.Manager /org/maemo/Playback/Manager
org.maemo.Playback.Manager.RequestMute boolean:true

Reply:
method return sender=:1.2 -> dest=:1.105 reply_serial=2

After trying the approach above I tried to find something by monitoring
dbus. I noticed that there is one interesting call made:

method call sender=:1.74 -> dest=com.nokia.HildonSVNotificationDaemon
serial=73 path=/com/nokia/HildonSVNotificationDaemon;
interface=com.nokia.HildonSVNotificationDaemon; member=StopEvent
int32 1

I tried to call this method with dbus-send, but it had no effect either.
Here's the dbus-send command I used:

dbus-send --session --type=method_call --print-reply
--dest=com.nokia.HildonSVNotificationDaemon
/com/nokia/HildonSVNotificationDaemon
com.nokia.HildonSVNotificationDaemon.StopEvent int32:1

Reply:
method return sender=:1.21 -> dest=:1.104 reply_serial=2

I have not found any other methods calls from the dbus-monitor logs and have
not got any further ideas on what to try. Has anyone been successful at
achieving this kind of behavior?

Cheers,
Miko Kiiski

Hi,

the phone mutes the ringing if you turn it face down while it rings.
Maybe you can capture this action with the D-Bus monitor.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply!

I guess I was not clear enough in the original post, but the solution you
proposed is the one that I have been trying already. With that I found the
second method call mentioned in the first post, but calling it has no
effect.

Cheers,
Miko Kiiski
