I am in need of assistance in regards to this "smart phone" device I have been burdened with. It continues to make undesirable sounds throughout the day and into the night.

[ Okay maybe one person tends to message him throughout the night but that's neither here nor there. ]

It is bothersome. I want it to stop.

[ He has no idea how to turn the sound off or how to even turn the thing off! ]

Oh, there are plenty of ways to turn off the sound notifications when you get a text or a call!!
If you want to turn the sound off, there's a tiny switch on the side of the phone. Flicking it down turns the sound OFF, flicking it up turns the sound ON.
You'll still get message alerts, but the phone will only vibrate instead, which is quieter.

There's also a 'Do Not Disturb' mode, too, which I think halts all incoming text, email messages, and calls, and immediately sends them to your mailbox instead, for later.

someone must like talking to you, though. ^o^

Have you tried turning it on and off again?

but WHY

[whirlwindthrust]

I do not know how to do this either.

This is what evil does when it's bored

[facepalmchampion]

Depends on which model you have but usually there's a button on the side. Go ahead and turn it off, then I'll tell you the next step.

[whirlwindthrust]

[ ...There are so many words there that he doesn't know! Modes? E-mail? Mailbox? WHAT ]

I see. I think this do not disturb mode would best suit my needs.

[whirlwindthrust]

[ Okay he might not know how to operate these things but he isn't stupid either ]

Unlikely since once I turn it off I will not be receiving messages or calls of any sort.

[ Yeah you won't get him on that one. ]

[facepalmchampion]

[Damn it. Okay he tried.]

Only an idiot wouldn't know to turn it back on after to get the next step if I've got to tell you the next step. Do it or don't I've got my settings set, doesn't bother me.

Have you tried using the silent mode?

[He could troll him and give him a very different answer but...probably not today.]

[whirlwindthrust]

Only an idiot would think to turn it back on if what they desire is a couple of moments of silence.

[facepalmchampion]

There's a process of elimination as to what the problem might be easiest stemmed from. If you didn't want help, then don't post asking for it.

[whirlwindthrust]

[ Bless you for being earnest ]

I did not know that there was a way to silence this device at all.

[whirlwindthrust]

I do not mind seeking aid when it is appropriate. What I do mind is another attempting to take advantage of my due to my lack of innate knowledge.

[facepalmchampion]

Who's doing something like that? Point them out, name and shame.

[whirlwindthrust]

What a dull life you must lead here to receive pleasure in attempting to fool individuals over a medium that protects your visage from them.

[facepalmchampion]

lol. If you're trying to shame me for something, get your tech straight past learning what the little letters do. The first thing someone should tell you is to turn it on and off. That restarts the system and it's all fresh as a daisy, square one. Ones and zeros in order. Go ahead. Seek out your aid and ask if I'm wrong about that. I'll wait.

But. If you're just trying to get my picture, you can ask more directly. I'll still say no, because last I checked To Catch A Predator isn't airing here.

You're just trying to brag about how popular you are, aren't you?

[whirlwindthrust]

Popularity is superficial and fleeting. Why would I feel the need to boast over something so trivial?

[Nobunaga's beginning to think it's less that samurai and monks were scared of becoming obsolete, and just incapable and too stupid to learn how to use anything new. Of course, Oda forgets, or underestimates his own skill, and just assumes any monkey could do what he does. Also he's just an asshole.]

Have you been informed yet? What kind of technology are you used to?

[whirlwindthrust]

[ Hey look man... They just recently acquired the ability to take photographs. This stuff is... baffling! ]

I have received a few responses and several options yes. Again I would sooner toss it into the water we were all thrown into but that does not seem to be one of the options.

[konpeito_aji]

[Oda's from a time where cameras don't exist, and he loves it!]

Why not?

[ Is Bean continuing his tradition of changing his username every time he logs into the AOL nets?

Why, yes. Yes he is. ]

You don't have to keep it with you. Shove it in a drawer under a pile of dirty socks. Only take it out when you need to check your messages.

[ He's only being this snarky because everyone else has already covered DND and silent mode. ]

Are you being troubled Xiao?

[areadbhoar]

I have found that turning it off is the only surefire way to silence it. Even when in "silent" mode, some sounds persist.

[ This struggle is so relatable... ]

I'd be happy to show you how to pick out the mute function!
