Hi Guys,
I dont know if its just me, but when I boot my phone up, it never plays a start up tone with the SE flash screen, its always silent.
For me, I find this annoying, does anyone know if there is an option I can change to turn it on ?
Thanks guys,
It never had one. Besides the carrier logo sound.

I don't recall ever hearing one.
Nope, I don't think it was there either.
Mine's always been silent.
Nope There's no start-up tone
and Yeap, I'd love to have one !!
The X10 didnt either. How can silence be annoying?
Mine has also never made a startup or shutdown sound
Ok cool, thanks for all the feedback guys, appreciated

i just picked up a Dash yesterday... so far im likin the phone and itll definitely hold me off till i get my tilt.. anywho... today while i was on a call i recieved a text and midcall my txt alert tone started playin and i couldnt even hear who i was talkin to any longer.... i didnt find anything in the settings to stop that so im guessing there might be a registry edit or something to fix that... is there one or was that a one time error that probably wont happen again?
noone has the same issue? its extremely annoyin now.. midcall the phone just starts playin my sms alert tone really loudly..
Dont know, happens to me all the time but never seen a fix
best thing
the only thing you can do to stop that is to put your msg tone on vibration. Hope this helps
theres a setting in accessibilty, then goto in-call alert and just turn it down or off

I travel on the train a lot and hate having blaring phones going off, so have my phone almost constantly on "Vibration only" and have also set the "Media Volume" to zero in case of accidentally starting something up that blurts out sound, and after having to reboot occasionally when things have stopped responding (has only happened once or twice) I've found that the startup sound is silent too...
Not sure if it's the Media Volume or Ring Volume setting that causes this, whichever way it's good for me!
Odd, i dont have any startup sound on mine, it'll just vibrate once when the initial Pinky/red circle comes up.
I've not changed any settings, its always been like that
(t-mobile)

Ditto. Same here, no matter which profile it's on.

I don't know what rom you have but I have the generic one (I think) and when booting I get a HTC and "quietly brilliant" logo and a loud HTC chime... no pinky/red circle to be seen?

Maybe they're referring to the audio quality of the built in speaker, which is frankly pathetic!
The pinky/red circle is the default boot image on the T-Mobile ROM.
As stated above, it has no boot sound and how I miss the silence!
I switched from that ROM to the HTC one early last week. On first boot (very late at night) the quietly brilliant animation appeared.... I.was relieved to have a successful flash.... then... OMG! the sound was so loud my cat jumped!
Hopefully when Paul at MoDaCo roots us we can overwrite it and have silence again
If you turn off the phone having silent mode enabled / turned the volume down, it should not play that sound (aloud) when booting.
Theres an app for that, but not yet in the market afaik.

Aaaah nice little tip. Very Mac like.
I'm still enjoying the irony <3 HTC
best post ever. V funny. thankfully I'm on t-mobile Rom so silence is golden!

Search the market for "Silent Boot".
I wrote an app that mutes your phone automatically on shutdown and restores previous settings after startup.
Works fine on my HTC.
mine still plays the loud sound even with headphones plugged in!

THANK YOU!
I just remember to put it under a pillow when I turn it on now
At first I thought the rom I flashed on my GS2X was screwed so I flashed a stock rom and found the same was happening. Sometimes when a call comes in the phone does not ring and appears to be in silent mode when it is not?
Anyone know of some 'feature' that may be causing this?

You could try something, and I know itl sound weird but,
Change your ringtone, I had it happen to me a few times when I tested some of the roms on here..
That usually helped for me.
Or simply to you have motion on? Lol if so turning it upside down mutes it lmfao
Go to settings>MOTION>turn over to mute xD
And if that is it, I'm not gonna pick on ye, my buddy was wining about the same thing couple months ago n it was that, he got it for a few weeks.. I had my fun..
Thanks. I use phoneweaver to automatically change ringers and volume levels based on location etc and I think the settings aren't 'sticking' properly. I have never had issues until now on this phone. I noticed when this app changes the screen brightness even though the new value is shown in settings it has not actually changed. Maybe the same thing was happening on the ringer? The last time a call came in with no ring I quickly rebooted without changes and it rang when I called the phone so who knows...
I'll test further.
Whenever I make or receive a call, I see my in-call volume at maximum level! I don't understand why it keeps doing this? I noticed this problem on all 3 of note 2. I keep adjusting to low but randomly just gets reseted to max again. Anyone else having the same issue with T-Mobile Note 2?
Update: finally found the culprit of this problem. The app "Tango" video chat messes with the in-call volume. Once account & app was uninstalled even after the reboot in-call volume setting never changed. Everything stayed as I left it and no more random MAX in-call volume.
Video to show what Tango is doing to my in-call volume.
Nobody has this issue? how come all 3 of my Note 2 has this issue =/
Anyone?
Sorry, this doesn't help but I usually keep my in-call volume at max so I haven't noticed this.

Thanks for the reply. I don't know how you keep the volume at max.. maybe it's just my phones but it's too painfully loud for me.
Would you mind trying to lower the call volume to lowest setting and restart the phone? See if the call volume goes back to max, I would really appreciate that.
For whatever the reason, the volume setting is not getting saved. So annoying since everytime i answer a call, it's trying to blow my eardrums out!
I'm guessing nobody has this in-call volume issues on their T-mobile Note2? Should I be considering an exchange....??
Just FYI multiple post saying anyone? Anyone? Pple just find annoying. Not trying to be rude. But from what I noticed from posts from other forums. Is when pple do that. They will never receive help or a reply from someone. Especially when the OP keeps doing that all in the same day.
Sometimes if you want help. You need patience. Especially here on xda. Pple here don't live there lives to help you. Right when you make a new post. Sometimes it could take days or even a week or two. But I'm positive if you don't do multiple post like this. And wait or even search the web. Even user a different phone. You will find ur answer. Remember google is ur best friend.
Anyways I don't no if its because of my rom or not but mind keeps going to vibrate and I have to keep turning it back to sound + vibrate
Oh ya you also have to be detailed when asking questions. Are you rooted or not. Stock or flashed a rom. Which rom. ...you get the point. The more you tell use the more likely a chance someone will help you. If you choose not to look it up urself
My bad, wasn't trying to be annoying or anything. I searched around in many different forums but still no answers and didn't get any replies on this issue, even the t-mobile support didn't know what was causing this issue. I guess I was running thin on patience.
I'm running all on stock and all 3 devices does this. T-Mobile sales rep said maybe it's part of the feature.. But we all know that's b/s. Changing in-call volume randomly doesn't sound much like a great feature to me....

Ya unfortunately that sucks. If you were rooted I would say try to flash a different rom. But since ur not my best guess would be to search around for an app that has something to do with volume/ in call volume. There's an app for everything these days. Ur just gunna have to read all the details in every volume app you can find. I'm sure there's something. Good luck. If you happen to find something. Post it hear in case others run into the same problem as you in the future.
Am I the only one with this problem? I wish some of the same device/carrier users would give me some feedbacks so I can figure out what to do....
you talking about in call volume or ringer volume? if its in call volume im pretty sure that if i lower it during a phone call it stays that volume even on the next call
im not 100% sure though...and im not sure if it stands through a reboot but i am pretty sure...cause i dont leave my in call volume on max because it is quite loud and distorted...if it always went back up to max i probably wouldve noticed..again not 100% sure

It's the in-call volume. I have no idea what's causing this... When I lower the volume it will stay that way only for that call and next call or sometimes even during the call volume goes up to max randomly. It's driving me nuts cause it's so loud and I can't even answer the call without worrying its gonna blow my eardrums!
I tried restoring factory but that didn't help and all three of my Note 2 do this so I'm lost here. Not like I rooted and modified anything, all is in stock.
Would you mind trying to put in-call volume to lowest and rebooting the phone? See if it goes back to max by default. That's how mine is set to every reboot.

i just tested it...called myself...i put the volume to 50%...hung up..called myself back..volume was still at 50%...idk if it will randomly go up...we'll see lol
if it does..that would be an annoying bug...one i probably wouldnt have noticed if i didnt read this thread...so if i start noticing it i blame you!

Try rebooting, see if that setting sticks.
It does this all randomly. Setting will stay that way for awhile and all of sudden max volume.

yeah..volume went back to max after reboot
try this
go to dialer -> call settings -> my call sound...there are 2 options that might help you...one for sound settings (maybe choosing one of them will help you) or personalize call sound..that one asks you to plug in ear phones..im not sure what happens after you run that test and if it only applies to earphones but you can try it

Why would it do that... It's not suppose to. I never had that issue with ATT Note, N7000 and i9300... I get the feeling many people just don't pay too much attention to it and when it does go up, people just lower the volume and forget about it.
Whatever the reason setting of the in-call volume isn't being saved. And something is making it to go back to default. Just don't know what though...
Keep your eye on that volume, and check if it goes up randomly.
P.S. I really appreciate the replies, been waiting for awhile.

Yeah, I really didn't want to annoy anyone but this little bug was driving me insane. Spending hours with T-Mobile tech supports weren't even helpful either. I hope it isn't a defective unit... Please let me know if you notice this issue! Thanks again =)
I think I found the culprit. Seems like "Jays headset control" app was causing this issue. It was never an issue on any other device but not sure why it's causing on note2. I uninstalled the app yesterday and so far problem hasn't come back yet. Time will tell but so far so good.
Thanks for looking and replying to my post. I can finally relax!
Update: wasn't jays app... Still having issue.

This had happend to me two or three times in the past couple of days. I have a tasker action to set automatically on silent, so I thought it was a wrong triggered action. I did not give it importance but now reading your post it start worrying me. Hope this dont be something problematic. If you discover something please share it, I will investigate also.
This has not happend me again. It was quite strange. Has it happend to you again?

Yes this still happens. Ive noticed my phone goes to silent automatically at 10pm pacific. Anyone know why this is happening? I dont recall ever having a a set time for my phone to go silent.
have you check the quiet hour? in the Sound menu..
headphone jack
possibly the headphone jack is fluffed up like my other og it thought the headphones were in when they werent so i got no notification noise or anything check for that?
My E975 has a habit of randomly going silent at random hours. I can only get out of it by restarting - there is no "silent" indication in the status menu. Makes my girlfriend really upset if I don't reply her messages after an hour or so ...
