[Q] Chiming sound is driving me insane!! - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Ever since I started using JB ROMs, I keep getting this random two-tone chiming notification sound from the phone.
When I hear it, there's nothing in the drop down menu. Not an e-mail notification, or text or anything (I have all those customized already).
I can't seem to figure out what this chiming notification sound is for. Does anybody here what I'm talking about?
I tried going into the system/media/audio folder to see if I can find what the sound is called, but I wasn't able to find it.
I just want to turn it off, but I'm not sure where to go :-/
I'm guessing it's Google now updating. But when I go into Google now setting, it has a completely different notification sound.
Thanks in advance for any response.
HELP!!!

What ROM are you running? Custom ROM, Stock ROM, or a CyanogenMod ROM?

I'm running the latest Wicked ROM. But I don't think it's ROM specific.
I had it when I was running Domination ROM also. And my friend who's running stock 4.1.1 seems to have it also. However her phone doesn't chime as much as mine does.

I know that it is an issue with some CyanogenMod nightlies with the "Deneb Tone" (I believe) but Stock is most definitely not built on that. I'm not sure I can be much help at the moment but I'll look into it. Your problem is usually known as a "Ghost Notification Tone."

find the chime sound and delete it
Its most likely in this folder .. system/media/audio
Also .. you could be a face-book tone or a Google + mail or chat
do you have any custom chat - email - type programs ?

Okay, I figured it out.
It's the default notification sound from Yahoo mail.
I thought had turned off all notifications for Yahoo e-mail but apparently when the app recently got updated, it turned the notification sound back on again so every time I'd get a new e-mail, my phone would chime. I just turned it off.
Thanks to all who responded!!

No problem!
You also just reminded me to turn my Show Notifications for GMail back on from a few days ago...
Thanks

Call Log...sucks. [Q]

I just recently ugraded to eb13, and now I notice that my texting history shows up in my call log...uhg! I send/rcv about 10-12k txts a month, so yu can imagine what my call log looks like with all those txt's! Is there a way to permanently remove "text history" from call log? I dont particularly want to use the searh filter every time I want to see a recent call nor do I really want a whole new dialer, as that's the only thing I don't like...
Anyway, thanks, all help is appreciated

Supernova ROM includes fix for this. I am about to flash it myself for the same reason.
Bonsai
I use Bonsai4All which also fixes this annoying issue...
Syndicate ROM also fixed this.

All custom ROMs floating around here had texts removed from the call log. You might try reflashing your ROM. Or copy logsprovider.apk out of any custom ROM with the same baseband as you (EC05) and push it to system/app.
Only if your rooted. K0nane made a stand alone fix to be flashed.
You can also hit the menu button and say sort by X,Y or Z but yeah its an annoying issue..
Why are u on eb13?
Sent from my Epic 4gizzle using XDA Premium App
Oops it looks like the fix is already active. I guess I hadn't rechecked since I flashed SFR 1.2. It would be nice if there was an "All Calls" option in the View By menu instead of just a behind the scenes hack, but I'm happy with this. Thanks.

here is the fix if you are rooted. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853177&highlight=log. But you should really think about updating to at least EC05. Much better than EB13 in my opinion. EF02 has been great for me so far as well.

[Q] Where did Settings>Privacy go?

I found two similar threads with no replies whatsoever so I figured I would post and see if I can get an answer...
Where did Settings>Privacy go? I have Gingerbread and I don't want my txts to display scrolling when the phone is on the lock screen.
Also, does anyone know why now when I'm in a phone call and get a txt I get the default sound instead of the txt sound I have set?
Thanks in advance for your time.
damn. that's a damn good question! I hate how it scrolls the texts too. don't want certain people to see everything. lol. hmmm. Yeah. sadly I could bet that it won't get fixed. we REALLY need to post a thread with all the current bugs in the stock software and which bugs can and can't be fixed by using a thirdparty rom.
privacy is still there for me

I don't know if you still need it, but here are all notificiation sounds from the ICS ROM i use Didn't know which one you meant, so I just uploaded all
Thanks for helping Kevin but there still no HI notification in your zip.....
The tone I hoped to find is like sherbet but is a little quicker and higher tone ........ I was on cm7....then installed the early builds of cm9.... and found this great notification tone called HI....... was using it and was very happy but when updated to a newer experimental build I lost it and googled everywhere and cannot find...... its so strange.... I don't know where to look.......searched all XDA and downloaded everything but not that tone.....
I'm not complaining at all as I have gone with another tone waterdrops....but HI is still my favourite and seems like I lost it forever....... I did backups before and did too many so I had to delete some so I cannot go back to previous versions just to pull out that ringtone.....
yay i was looking for this, thanks!
http://get.cm/?device=galaxys2
here you find all the nightlies. if you remember when it was i would recommend to download that nightly again and extract it (just open it with winrar/7-zip or whatever )

I'll start the thread..
Q: When group messaging with GO SMS PRO (only app I know of that works with iPhone's for group chat) after a few minutes my group messages disappear and all I see are random single digit numbers instead of my contacts with the conversations separated in them. Only occurs for group messages, not individual messaging. Why is this? Something to do with data stability? I'd take an SS, but I cleared all of them earlier. When it happens again I'll take an SS.

Does anyone know why I don't have the Motion settings available? I was first advised to reflash, but I found that there was newer version of the ROM available, but even after upgrading to that the motion settings are still not there. Any fix?

1) Because AOKP isn't touchwhiz
2) Flash stock rom if you want that option.
noob question
hey all i have a question or 2.
1- what is the difference between Sammy (Kernel), and AOKP Task & Ktoonsez Run train (rom) ?
2- do you flash AOKP Task & Ktoonsez Run train (rom) then Sammy (Kernel) ?
yeaaa i know stupid noob question but i guess we all have to start some where.
thanks for understanding.
Bluetooth to headunit
so I'm running latest aokp by task650 &ktoonsez for my sgs3 att, so the issue is when i use poweramp (latest version available on play store) it wont send track info to my head unit, i had someone suggest to go to misc - tweaks and enable both Bluetooth options but i tried that and still just says stop on the head unit. anybody have any ideas? it worked fine in stock rom.
Still having issues with aosp cam with task and ktoonsez aokp rom. The camera works with other camera apps like 360 camera and ucam but not the aosp cam. The exact symptom is that the app will always freeze within 10 seconds of the app opening no matter if i touch the phone or not. The zoom slider never appears and I'm unable to interact with the app like changing the settings or anything.
I have tried numerous flashes including every version release so far. I always do a factory reset in cwm, delete cache partition, dalvik cache, and format system. I've also used the cwm flashable camera fix that is posted in both at&t development forums. In a last ditch effort I went back to stock, performed a factory reset from there insuring that my phone was a complete clean slate and the aosp camera app still didn't work when installing fresh aokp with no apps or any settings changed at all in the rom.
I'm at a loss here as the default cam app works in cm9 and cm10 but I want my aokp damn it!

MIUI v4 and GO SMS 4.72 -- also no notification (no icon in status bar, no sound). Googled this issue and found...
Solution: open default MIUI SMS App, go to Settings / Other and UNtick: System mms app priority.
After unticking this setting: all GO SMS notifications (icon in statusbar, sound, popup) are working!!!
Hoping that this helps in your case too! :fingers-crossed:

Thanks a lot man for the reply. I flashed a new rom but i'll reflash MIUI to verify it works for me as well! I'll repost when i've tried it to let you know how it goes. Thanks again!
EDIT: Ok, I flashed MIUI v4 again, unclicked mms app priority, and the problem is still persistant. also, I flashed Evervolv 4.2.1 and now im getting the SAME ERROR MESSAGE as i was getting with MIUI!!! what the hell is going on? anyone?
