apps for deaf users

[medusaorange]

I am deaf and I use my g1 for everything but the phone calls. The volume / vibration button has been number one annoying for me, because I always accidentally hit it when I use the keyboard. Can somebody make an app that will turn off the rings and keep the vibration on - until I change the setting in the app?

Other app I would love to see on G1 is a relay. Can this app be made for G1 or is it impossible?

You could look into the program called Local. It will let you set a default to "vibrate" and should automatically set the phone to vibrate either by location or periodically, not sure if its the best fix but could help.

locale won't disable the button, which sounds like what you need. You can always override Locale settings and locale won't undo them for you -- so the second you hit the volume button it will override the Locale settings until the next time the situation is activated.
