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!

I was wondering if it is possible to change the dial tone on the HTC dialer.
I use this to search and call contacts, when i type in a name or number the sound is really bleak or mechanical. Is it possible to change this (preferably to a warmer softer tone)?
I hope someone will be able to help me with fine tuning our Touch HD !
the reg keys for the sound of 1234567890*# is at:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\DtmfX
but i don't think it's wise to play with these settings..
Beware, if this is related to the DTMF while in call you might lose the DTMF function that you use for example when you want to delete voicemails etc.
This sounds quite tricky.
I reckon that there is no easy way to change this then?

Agree.
I just found this reg keys, but I'm not sure if it's just feedback sound when you press the phone pad, or the ACTUAL DTMF SIGNAL that sends to the carrier. If it's the latter one, you might have issues when making a phone call until you restore the original settings (that means, if you don't know how, a hard reset).
Anyway, you can backup the registry entires and temper it on your own risk. It shouldn't make any trouble except the one I said above.
AFAIK, the things you should change is the "Script" entry (which is the tricky part) to make it act like the ringtones, which makes it possible to change to another sound file.
Hi guys,
Just to confirm, what your phone sends (as DTMF signal) and what you hear are 2 different things. I've got tones switched off (for the same reason as the poster - it sounds bloody awful!), but I can still use various services that require keypresses, and I never hear a thing.
Still, always make a backup when editing registry (not that I ever do! lol).
hey has anybody got the sound for the rigtones working yet
is there a fix ? patch ? etc....
thanks
search the threads and you will find your answers there.
seriously?
if you want info on whether or not the ringtone/external speaker issue has been solved, check the dev threads. If there is a breakthrough they will all have updated it already since its a problem plaguing all rhodium devices.

Come on, man this was his first post, I understand that it's frustrating when someone posts without having read the stickies, but it's posts like that, which are so decidedly unhelpful.
For example, this is a good response, it berates him for not having read but it also contains USEFUL information:

thank you fenny.
Ring tones are working
Ring tones are fixed in the latest build as of 08/30/2010, i.e. sound is working in general.
In my case to actually get the handset to ring on incoming calls, I had to conduct the following steps (before that only the silent option was available as a "ring tone"):
go to settings -> Dev tools -> media scanning. Perform media scan. After that the OS restarted and the phone started ringing. Yeah...
cheers
BTW, I just noticed that the media scanning has to be conducted each time one the handset is turned on, otherwise the phone is not ringing.
Can anybody confirm that?
In addition I am not able change the ring tones in settings -> sound -> incoming calls. Why is that and can this be changed?
Has anyone found that if they use their own ringtone, an incoming call only rings once? I've tried converting my ringtones from .mp3 to .ogg but it still only rings once. If I switch to a stock ringer, the an incoming call rings over and over like it should.
ringtones
my tounch pro2 with the latest blazin build will use any mp3 i chose to use as a default ringtone and will ring more than once and play the full song. But on the other hand my other cell has all the same setup but only shows silent only, so it could be just the headset itself and not the build.

It's the card. Format it with the HP tool. Full format. Also, BLAZN is pretty outdated (9.28 was the last update).
I haven't seen this anywhere on the web..
Is anyone else annoyed by the stupid ringtone that plays after boot when you have a missed call/text?
I don't see any setting to turn this off anywhere.. I can easily delete the .ogg ringtone with root explorer but I want to actually turn the notification off or remove/alter the code that causes it..
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks!
don't know about you, but i find that feature very important and useful
i want to know of all my missed calls or messages during a reboot, or just before the reboot
Well for me it's highly annoying when I'm rebooting at work and widgetlocker kicks in and hides it so that I can't stop it and then it plays loudly for several seconds
Sent from my T989 hunting for Siri Connor
for that i always put my phone on mute or vibrate only before reboot
yes, however I am looking for an automated solution..
I guess what I will do is replace the .ogg file with a better ringtone, something more subtle.. until I figure out where the code is so I can alter it.
the easy way to change ringtones and alerts tones, i use Zedge, free from market
That won't change what I am taking about. And changing ringtones is easy..

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!
I have a small problem with my XL which is nonetheless driving me slowly insane..
As an ex-Samsung girl for a very long time, some of the sounds are deeply embedded in my brain. So my SMS and WhatsApp notification has been the Samsung "Harmonics" sound. I found it (and others) posted by a kind XDA chap. I created a 'Notifications' folder and put Harmonics & Whistle in there.
Then I selected Harmonics without problem for my notification sound in SMS and WhatsApp. For the next couple of texts, it works. Then the Pixel always, but always, reverts back to a built-in tone (specifically "Strum", for some reason). I change it again ...it changes back.
I've tried sourcing Harmonics elsewhere, Exactly the same thing happens. In fact any tone I put in the Notifications folder works only briefly and then reverts to the built in sound.
Changing my ring tone has worked just fine. Ditto my alarm sound. It's only notifications that won't "stick".
Anyone got any ideas?
I personally don't use any sounds for notifications, so I can't speak to mine sticking or not. I can confirm that I am using an MP3 ringtone (a portion of a song) that transferred from my Nexus 6p (even though I thought the transfer tool said it wouldn't copy ringtones) and it works fine.
What format is the sound file in? MP3, OGG? WAV?
All the sounds I tried were mp3. They do usually work once or twice but then revert to the Strum sound (which puzzles me even more, because you would think it would choose the default sound).
Consider changing the name of your favorite to Strum?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Weirdly, it seems to have started working - mostly. Basically, I just gave up. I left the notification as Harmony and it was sounding 'Strum'. And then it just started using Harmony after a day or two, but with a very occasional Strum! So weird. Baffled. But not going to touch anything now!
