Ralf Rottmann is writing on the Svbtle. August 22, 2014. Vibrate on Silent is not silent at all. I know, there are more important things in life. So I make this short: You Mr. Super Important Meeting Participant, please turn Vibrant on Silent. The simple truth is: Vibrant on Silent is not silent at all.
