Hi Ian Thank you for your hard work on the iOS version of J903, which runs fairly nicely on my iPhone 7+.
The only problem I have at the moment is that occasionally I need the app to be completely silent. Neither turning down the iPhone's volume nor switching to silent mode were unable to silence all noise. Before the update, I found a programmatic way of doing this using the config file, which I cannot now recall. (I forgot about this issue and so the automatic update overwrote my file before I could back-up my solution!) Are you able to recommend a solution? Or a way or better - consider adding a 'dot' command to set a 'slient-mode' flag, which allows 'silent running'.
