I have an intercom in my building that is routed to my cell phone. I need to press number to open the door. In the latest builds of 6.5.1, when I receive a call, the option to show the keypad does not appear and no hardware buttons seems to trigger it either .
Is there a setting or registry key somewhere to force the keypad to appear also when receiving calls?
Also, when making call, is there any specific registry keys that control the screen turning on and off during call that I could control? I can understand the problem of having the screen active while the phone is on the hear, but I find it very annoying to have the screen turning off automatically while im answering questions from, i don't know if you remember the time, when the automated voice answering systems were only understanding key tones...
I find it ironic that my smart phone with gps and internet is not able to mimic the same functionality as any land-line phone can. Its like, yeah look at my new phone, its great for everything... except for the 'phone' experience.

I'm looking for a way to change the native dialer to replace the waterdrops with DTMF tones. Looked at some threads below but they didn't have a solution. Anyone know of a mod that can do this?

+1 if this can happen. I was playing with my phone just now and wondered if there was an option to do this. Sounds it's possible on a rooted phone by changing some sound files, but I wouldn't know what to touch.
I don't think this will work. I've looked at it and the stock dialer uses 1 sound effect for all buttons. it's located in the standard area media\ui. You can easily replace that 1 file with another but that's all you'll get is a replacement single sound.
Only real solution I've found is aftermarket dialer with it coded in. Question is, why would you care what the button presses sound like? The actual REAL DTMF coding occurs when you press the dial button.
Hey guys, I just purchased my S3 on Friday (decided that I didn't need the S4 and the S3 was only $50) and I've already come across a few things that are annoying, even though I already love the phone.
My main issue at the present, though, is that I'm used to (and prefer) hearing the DTMF tones when I'm dialing a number in the phone app, but I can't find any way to enable that with this phone. Is there a way to change the keypad tone without rooting the device, or is it going to require root to do so?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Go like ur making a phone call when u see the dialer then press the menu u will see ringtone and keypad tones go in there and click to turn it on

To clarify, you can have a bubbly kind of noise when you hit the dialpad, but not DTMF tones. That setting is :
dialer>menu>Call Settings>Ringtones and keypad tones>Keytones
Kind of bugged me at first too, but I got over it
I would guess there must be some third party dialer that gives you DTMF back, but I got used to it pretty quick, especially since i hardly ever make a call from the dial pad any more.

I even got the problem that my S4 does not send the dtmf signal. I cannot call a hotline or service number or anything. Most of the hotlines ask for a number to go on...e.g. 1 for English, 2 for German etc.
That's not possible with the S4 due to the bubble sound. I assume you got the same problem with your S3, didn't you?

My s3 has dtmf tones, it's under phone>menu>call settings>then scroll down, 3rd option from the bottom. I still have the bubbly sound when dialing but the dtmf tones are still there.

Correct!! The bubbly sound is when you first dial. Once connected the dial pad works just fine and the dtmf tones are all there. Any service line that you call that requires dtmf tone work perfectly.

Might turn out that it is just me =)
In the menu, there is not such an entry. There is just Call settings>Ringtones and keypad tones>Keypad tones is checked. It says "Play tones when keypad is pressed. There is no other entry indicating something related to dtmf.
I cannot imagine that it does not work, since it is a very essential function. Am I wrong?

Don't go into ringtones & keypads, just scroll down
Tsss...what a f...
I just called a hotline, there was no dtmf signal to navigate through the menu. Afterwards, I turned the background noise reduction of and tried it again. It was working properly and I could navigate through the menu. I turned the background noise reduction on again and it is still working, so there was just a conflict between the signal and the noise reduction....
Damn system LOL I am working on that since Saturday...
Problem solved!
Hello all XDA. I have heard great things about you and used some of your root and Kernel releases. Thanks!
I think I may be ready to go the the next level (for a dammed newbie) in jacking up my Galaxy S3, and applying the latest manipulations you guys have going. I have two very important questions:
1:
when I start speech recognition, it emits a loud "bleepBloop" to inform me that it is ready, and then another bleep (a different one) when I am finished entering voice data.
Other forums have called this the "speech recognition bleep" and called it a generated tone.
I have also seen a secret code #*7200# that is supposed to mute the tone generator on an S3, but I am not sure of it will also mute the custom sounds I have for my rings and alerts
Using root browser, I have gone to every folder I know of in "system-media", and renamed or deleted all the sounds except for the five I use, (Email, SMS, Facebook alert, Ringtone and alarm tone) and I also searched for every aiff, MP3, Ogg, or WAV file I could find on the phone and could not find anything like what I hear every time I search using google, or enter voice to text mode.
this is baffling. Where are these sounds located on my S3? how can I get rid of them?
2: What are your recommendations for making my S3 as fast as possible?
Thanks!

It's very possible that the sounds are stored in the app itself in the raw folder.
Where is the Raw file or file folder located?
thanks!
