Mute/Silence an iOS device programmatically?
Is it possible to turn off the silent mode of an iPhone programmatically? I need the option to turn on and mostly off the silent mode, without using the hardware.

3Isn't the whole point of silent mode **not** to be disturbed? – TheAmateurProgrammer Jul 28 '12 at 07:35

2Gee I hope not! If I put my phone on silent I don't want some app deciding it's allowed to make noises even though I said silent! – John3136 Jul 28 '12 at 07:36

From developer.apple
Global system volume, including your application's volume, is handled by iPhone OS and is not accessible by applications.

1HOW? There is an app called 'AutoSilent' that put the phone in Silent mode for a specific time and than send it back to Normal mode. How? – ytpm Aug 07 '13 at 12:22

If it were possible, the device would en up in an inconsistent state: the hardware silent-mode button turned on, but in software silent mode is turned off. In short, user experience hell.
