You need to use a registry exploring program and navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE] Set FaceDownMuteRing=1 to enable

Excuse my ignorance but does reg edit makes the phone mute when it is placed face down during a call? Does it also unmute when it is flipped back over?

Re: Enable/Disable mute call when phone is flipped over - [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softwar
 

No, it only mutes the ringer, and it won't unmute when you flip it back over.

And it is actually only for that particular incoming call. In other words, if you get a call and want to stop the ringer/vibrate notification, put the phone face down (even for just a second). The next incoming call will ring/vibrate as normal, unless you put the phone face down again.

It is a very handy feature when you are in meetings, school, etc.

What if I *leave* the phone face down?

Never tried it... hmm... let me see...

Ok, so I had to try it and flipping the phone face down when a call comes in silences the ringer, as I stated above. But if you leave the phone face down, and another call comes in, it will ring/vibrate.

Yeah, that's such a bummer. I wish you could have it auto-mute while face-down.

Programatically I don't think there is a way to do it. I think the current way is a combination of the accelerometer detecting a downward-facing movement along with the light sensor detecting nothing. Only way I can think of doing it is setting a flag and once the accelerometer detects non-downward-facing movement and the light sensor picks light up, to take the flag off.. but what if the phone is in your bag or pocket?

Yeah, I agree. I don't think it's possible. It's nice to dream though. :D

It doesn't poll the light sensor... I've flipped mine face down holding it in the air to mute it before.

The way HTC has done it is good enough, I think... just muting one call. Sometimes when it's in my pocket and I'm sitting down, it's pretty much face down (I always keep the screen facing me, just in case something comes crashing into my leg)... this means that it would just mute all calls and I'd never know.

An issue with what you're suggesting though, is that the accelerometer and light sensor aren't polled while the device is in standby... So it would have to be on to trigger the silent mode, and on again to turn off silent mode. You could force it to poll both of those sensors all of the time, but that'll kill the battery.

I don't think it's a possibility for right now.
