I don't mean to keep harping about this muting thing, but if it were truly muting the phone, it wouldn't say screen locked either. Can you imagine if you're in a meeting, and it's quiet for about 20 seconds, and in that 20 seconds, everyone hears 'screen locked'? How embarrassing would that be?

That sounds like a good work around to me. I agree that there is room to grow. It would be nice for instance to set different quiet hours on weekdays verses weekends. However, what we have is a good start and will hopefully only get better.
