It's normal/standard.
Most custom ROMs don't have it. If you want to get rid of it but keep stock ROM, read here. You must be rooted however.

Hey
that is normal on All Recent Samsung Android devices.
This Worked For me with no Modifications but just a Simple Fix by installing the APK and enable the Module in Framework
Disables the increasing ringtone when there's an incoming call.
Works by disabling AudioManager.setStreamVolume for a volume of 1 when there's an incoming call, so should probably work for any device that has Samsung's SecPhone.apk.
Tested on Galaxy Note 2 (GT-N7100) and Galaxy SII (GT-i9100) with the new Jelly Bean update.
Root REQUIRED Download Here
Or If Un Rooted you could use install this apk and it will be normal
Un Rooted Download from Play store by UN ROOTED CLICK HERE

thanks both of you for the answer, i'll try the option with the app on the playstore as i haven't rooted my phone, as you said that this was like a common feature with samsungs devices, my wife has an international s3 i think is the i9300 and she doesnt have this issue, but well not everything is perfect right? jaja thanks guys
well it actually worked pretty good with the app from playstore, so i think i should be fine for now until i root my device, thanks

Not sure about that i had note 1 and now note 3 i've noticed and my frnd has s3 it does the same on it .
but sure it will work on it :good:

Amoled notifications with NoLED

Hey guys,
I just tried the NoLED on my s3 mini and it's working well.
If you need visual notifications about your incoming messages and emails, missed calls or you want an always visible clock on your phone's screen I suggest this little application:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730692
It is not my development, I can't be responsible if something goes wrong with it, but it's working perfectly on my device with ALL2 rooted 4.1.1 firmware.
Hey thank`s for this i will give it a try.:laugh: Quite a few options in the App.

Working great on stock rom here!
Thanks for the tip! Downloaded it and works perfectly on stock (rooted) rom.
I did have a problem with the TTS when allowing NoLED to accessibility (screen 1 of 7, map opened, ...), but disabling the Google and Samsung TTS services, and renabling them, solved the problem.
How's the battery consumption on your SGS minis after installing the app?

[Q] Help I can't mute the shutter sound on n7105

I recently bought an N7105 and much to my horror I can't mute the annoying and very loud camera shutter. On my previous N7100 I could just mute the volume and that would mute the shutter, but on the N7105 (at least this one) I can't do that. No matter what I try the shutter sound will not mute. I even downloaded third party camera apps (zoom FX) and it still wouldn't mute even when the shutter sound was disabled. I do not want to root, what can I do? Please help!
Since there seems to be no solution I have no choice but to sell my brand new phone I will not root because I absolutely hate it, and would rather not have a phone at all! Can someone tell me which regions don't have the shutter sound? And what is the best way to make sure when buying off the net that the firmware will have shutter mute?
It might be easier to use a free camera app that allows shutter muting.

Sadly the firmware still overrides those 3rd party apps. :crying:
Didn't know that.
Does the sound remain audible when the phone volumes all the way down?
If it does silence with the volume then something like Tasker (or freeware Llama) allows one to execute one or more actions automagically: IF Camera app is running/foreground THEN mute volume, then restore volume afterward. That might be a workaround.
from tapatalk (Galaxy Note 2)
I'll give that a try, but if all its doing is just automating the silencing of the phone then I doubt it will work. Since even when all the volumes are on silent it still goes off. Worth a shot though.

This is driving me crazy. The shutter sound is so extremely loud I am afraid it is ruining the speakers (and my ears). I can't believe how anyone designed this. When I take burst shots its sounds like a machine gun, and people 50meters away turn their heads to see what's happening. I need help badly! PLEASE!
I have horrible experiences with rooting and custom roms and don't want to do that. However as a compromise, would it be possible to do a temp root, erase the offending audio file, and then unroot? Is that even possible? Will the phone remain stock and update itself over the air?
I still prefer a non-root solution. Help me
Just apply that CSC code which gives you an option to mute/un-mute the shutter sound.
PS: Oh sorry, didn't notice that you won't root! Not possible then imo.
OK how about if I flash a different stock firmware with odin? Can I do that without rooting? Will my phone still be fully stock and updatable OTA? How do I know which firmwares don't have this nasty shutter sound (when phoneis muted)?

Not really. I am sure I can change to another stock firmware that doesn't have the shutter sound even on mute. I just need someone to guide me how to do that without rooting, and which firmware to choose.
0 the ringtone volume
Im in the US and I have a completely stock ATT Note II - and I can disable the shutter sound without root.
In your camera, tap the gear icon, and look for "Shutter Sound". Tap it and set it to off.

Hey Jujuburi, Do you know which CSC has this option in it?

Notification/ volumes sounds changes to very low by its self.

OK this problem has been bugging me. Its started a few weeks back and i thought when i updated to 4.3 it would go away. But no luck.
Here is the problem. I have a Samsung S3 SGH I747M on Rogers was on 4.1.2 stock rom rooted. Now im on 4.3 stock rom rooted.
My phone keeps changing the notification/ all volumes on it own to very low. I can hardly hear it. I reboot my phone and its back to normal and all volumes are were i set them. Now i did notice that when it does go very low all my volume sliders go to the max position but everything will be very low.
Its driving me crazy. I have uninstalled several apps that i thought might be causing the problem but nothing seems to fix it. My next step is to do a factory reset. Which i really don't want to do as i have my phone set up the way i like it.
I'm hoping some of you phone gurus out there can help me find this annoyance.
Thanks.
Wow. No reply's. I guess nobody has had this problem before. Ill keep looking.
My volume dips occasionally, but I'm on pacman Rom with viper4android installed. In my case it happens when viper decides to randomly crash.

Did you have any audio mods installed ? If so then that might have caused the problem because to fully uninstall those you have to remove some of their system files or if they changed your build.prop you might have to undo the changes.
Other than that im not really sure what might be causing it.

I have the same issue. I uninstalled Ram Booster and disabled Power Savings Mode. Problem still exists but volume change is much less. Also ,it happens exactly when screen turns off. Factory reset did not solve it for me.

I just started experiencing this issue as well. Never noticed it before as I always had my phone on silent for school but now that im on vacation I turned the sound back on and I can't hear the locking and unlocking sounds unless the phone is right next to my ear. The keyboard and the basic touch sounds are very quiet too. Wondering if you managed to fix this problem ?

Hey Florad77,
Yes i did manage to fix it. Tasker is the culprit. Its not playing nice with the 4.3 update. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and everything was working fine. No volume changes. Then i set up some tasks, simple ones like turn off my Bluetooth when i leave my truck etc. And low and behold the sound issues came back. It must be when tasker trys to run tasks that it F,s everything up in the phones settings for sound. I just uninstalled it again and i also removed secure settings as well. Here is a review of Tasker from google play with the same sound problems.

Sound notifications don't work... After the recent update, notifications stopped playing sound files, unlike always. A power related task keeps firing when it's not supposed to. 4.3.yuga.pac

I hope this fixes your problem. Mine is work just fine now after the uninstall.
Volume issues fixed.
OK. I was still having the problem even after deleting most of the apps i thought were causing the problem. But had no luck fixing the volume issue. I remembered my son saying he has had a problem with his phone not connecting to the Bluetooth also but his had a different error. So i asked him what his issue was and he said every time he tries to connect he gets an error saying "unable to play during call" So i googled his problem and found the answer and it fixed his Bluetooth error. I then checked my own settings and changed it also and if fixed mine.
So If you use text plus go to settings and unselect enable incoming calls, and that will fix the unable to play during call error when using your music player over Bluetooth. And like me if your also having volume issues after connecting to Bluetooth it will fix that also. Make sure to reboot your phone after the change.
I hope this helps somebody as this problem has been driving me crazy for months now. I was so close to doing a factory reset and re flashing the rooted 4.3 rom again.

The problem with the volume that you are facing is because of a secret call in the background via Hangouts.
Basically Hangouts connects a call with someone in the background without user's interaction and phone goes into call mode.
And in call mode volumes are adjusted appropiately as it should be in a normal call and all the sounds come out of earpiece.
If you turn off Hangouts, you will not get this problem again.
Hit Thanks!, if it helps

[Q] Refurbished phone problems

So i received a new phone in the mail from tmobile because i claimed that my last phone was lost. They sent me a Galaxy s4 with 4.3 pre installed (sadly) and I didn't care about tripping knox so i rooted and installed an i9505 rom. Now when i was on stock before i rooted i would get signal problems at my home unlike on my previous galaxy s4. Text messages wouldn't go through nor mms and sometimes i wouldn't have a data signal. But now i realize there are a lot of things wrong with this phone :
Vibration on the phone does not work at all nor keypad vibrations
The speaker where you place your ear for a call has a lot of static when on the phone and the volume is low even on max and with volume mods
the back facing speaker is low even with volume mods on high
the continuos bad reception it has
notifications that the sim card has been removed when it has not
So what I'm trying to ask is if i reflash stock 4.3 on it and set the flash counter back to 0 with triangle away, can i call customer service complain that the phone has all these problems and that knox was already broken when sent to me so I can get another galaxy s4 sent to me?
Just reflash 4.3 and see if it helps or even 4.4.2, Knox is already tripped.. And you don't have to reset anything because you can't reset the counter, and they won't ask you about the counter, all you can do is file a claim and hope they won't say anything about it

Reset flash counter using triangle away. Reflash 4.3 tar. Go into store and b*tch!
Don't ever mention knox. A lot of store reps have no idea what that even is or what even a bootloader is. As long as you can re-create the issues you mentioned at the store. They will gladly give you another one. Took me 3 Galaxy S3s referbished to finally get a good working one.
