Just earlier I noticed that my ringtones don't play. It wasn't vibrating aswell unless it was on the vibrate mode.
Now it seems to vibrate aswell normally.
But i'm still left with the problem where on an incoming call the ringtone doesn't play.
In "sounds and notifications" on the incoming call option when I press play nothing happens with whichever ringtone I select. However on other alerts its fine.
[EDIT] I've just realised that I can't chaange any option in Sounds and Notifications. Even when I press the OK button it loads but it doesn't close and no alerts or any notification changes. However I've tested some notifications just to see if the play button actually plays the tone that is selected and it does play but on incoming call alert I can't get anything to play. Either way whatever I change in SOUNDS AND NOTIFICATIONS I can't save it and I cant close it.
Very wierd....Any ideas..?
AND YES...I've soft reseted and tried.
AND NO.....I am not willing to reflash as Ive just got it setup the way I want and installed everything nicely and want to leave it the way it is..
Question: Did you install any other media play which might have re-assoicated the wav or audio defaults. This will cause the rings not to work.
Double post sorry

Try this cab file it may work, if not you may need to hard reset that is the only way, you can always do a back up first.
I have an Android app that runs extremely well that does Text 2 Speech when someone rings me. Aka will say who is calling outloud. I selected the "Override ringtone" option in the application but it continues to ring and talk the name which is annoying. I only want it to talk, not ring.
How can I disable the ringtone permanently without muting it?
power button perhaps ?
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
WICKED S3

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!

It should be automatic. I never really noticed if it made a sound or vibrated. Make sure your notification volume is all the way up. Enable vibration if you believe that would help. You'd feel a vibration on your ear, which might be better than sound.
Not sure if all carrier versions have this or not....
I can access my voicemail three different ways on the phone. I can hit the voicemail notification and it will call the voicemail number. Or, I can go to the dialer and hit and hold the number 1 until it dials the voicemail number. Or, I can click on the red icon on the launcher screen with what I'm guessing is an image of white tape spanning between two reels.
My question is mostly about the icon version of getting my voicemail. When I click the icon, I can see a date, time and duration of prior voicemails I've received. If I click on one, it brings me to a screen with an outline of a head and shoulders, and three buttons below. The button on the left pulls up an additional volume control, named "call" (in addition to the normal 4 volume sliders I usually get). Even with the volume maxed, I can barely hear the voicemails through the ear speaker. If I hit the "speaker" icon, I can hear the message quite loudly through the bottom speaker, but no matter what I do, I can barely hear it through the ear speaker, as the volume is just too low.
If I dial in to my voicemail using either of the first two methods above, everything is nice and loud with no issues.
Any thoughts on how to get the volume higher while using the voicemail app? Maybe a hidden setting somewhere?
Also, I may be remembering this incorrectly, but I thought that when the phone was new, it would take the voicemail and do a voice to text and display the text on screen (is that visual voicemail?) For whatever reason, the phone no longer does this. Is that something that is built into the phone, or something that Verizon includes? And if it is a Verizon service, is it a pay service or is it free? How do I access that voice to text ability for emails?
TIA,
Andy
