Master volume control

I have a complaint about my Droid X, but I need to ask a question before I start complaining.

Is there a way to control all volume at the same time? For example, my previous phone had volume control that went from audible to vibrate to silent, and it affected ALL alerts on the phone, e.g. ringer, text message, alarm, calendar, etc.

Does the Droid X have this? Thanks for help in advance.

Here is how to change your volume settings. HTH!

From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located at the bottom of the display).
Touch Settings.
Touch Sound & display.
Touch Ringer volume.
Adjust Incoming call volume / Notification volume as appropriate then touch OK.
To adjust volume equally, touch Use incoming call volume for notifications (enabled when a green check mark is present).

Thanks for the help. However, the solution you specified did not help as I had hoped. Here's what I found.

- If an alarm's "vibrate" property is unchecked, it will not vibrate when the alarm sounds, even with this solution and the ringer set to vibrate

- A calendar alert does not vibrate with this solution. It may have done an initial vibration that I may have missed, but it did not continue to vibrate to alert me

- The same issue as the calendar occurred for email: if there was a vibrate alert, it was only a short one, and not enough to alert me.

In my previous phones, when the phone was set to vibrate, all alerts would become vibrations, and they would continue to alert until they timed out or I interacted with the phone in some way. I would like to see this functionality in Droid X.

It could be useful to have different volume settings for each kind of alert as the Droid X has, but I desire having a master volume switch that affects all alerts. I don't want to have to go through more than one process to make my phone audible or vibrate or be silent.

Does this explain my request more clearly? Is there anything else that the phone currently has that does what I'm describing?
