You need to edit the profile to chnage what the phone does in this profile. You can do this is the Profile App (in the Tools folder)

hi thanks for the reply. but i do not find any setting for calender items when in editing profiles. it has the settings for calls and sms messages but not for calender items.

Apparently the only way to do this is to 'Personalize' the 'Silent' 'Profile' s 'Ringing type' to 'Ringing' (do not have the ringing Type on 'Silent' as this prevents vibration for Calendar alerts, but allows vibration for incoming phone calls and text messages). Then set the 'Silent' 'Profile' s 'Ringing tone' to 'Off' & 'Vibrating alert' to 'On' for the silent profile. Also in the 'Silent' profile, put the ringing volume at the lowest, and choose a Calendar alarm tone to one which is very quiet such as 'door knock.awb'.

The result will be that in Silent Mode, the phone vibrates for phone calls, messages AND Calendar entries, but the Calendar alarm tone will sound, but very quietly (practically inaudible) once you set up a tone which is inherently quiet for the calendar alert.

make the ringing type to 'ringing or vibrate' and ringtone type to OFF. I mean you can do this on silent profile or make another profile with these settings. this would do.
