Hi,
just installed Maximus 3 rom for my M8 dual sim and noticed that the usb connected sound is the camera click
and its REALLY LOUD
i just know that is going to cause problems in the office if i have to charge it. its embarrassing now just sitting at home...
does anyone know where the settings are for the usb connect/disconnect sounds?
thanks.
hmm, nobody?
any apps out there to change the sound then?
otherwise i will have to remove the camera click sound from audio
Use a root explorer like ES File Explorer, go to system/media/audio/ui and see if there is a file that matches with the "unwanted" USB connection sound. If you find it, rename it (such as adding .bak to the end), and see if that helps.
I'm not on Maximum, and not sure if that is where the particular sound is stored. But its worth a try, anyway.
hmm, i was hoping for something a bit more scientific
renamed /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg and at least its stopped people looking round when i plug the phone in
thanks anyway...

Interesting, I haven't messed around with a huge number of custom ROMs, but I've never used one that played a sound when connecting USB.
I was thinking (hoping) there was a sound file more specific to the USB connection; as I assume that renaming the camera click also disables the actual camera shutter sound when taking photos in the stock camera app. Not ideal I suppose; but on the other hand the camera shutter noise isn't really all that necessary.
There must be something in the ROM that points to that sound file when connecting to USB. But I can't think of what, or how to change it.
what i have noticed in the past (previous HD2) is that my Alarm Clock Plus will sometimes lose the alarm settings. i think its when i change the alarm tone and happen to pick a sound file on the sd card.
(i usually would have the sound file on the external card first before copying it to the phone)
if i remove the card the alarm will not work even if i have the same named file on the phone, it will show a number instead of the alarm sound and not play.
maybe its similar and somehow the usb connection is linked to the file but not by name.
this is annoying me now, not knowing how to solve what should be a simple problem
EDIT: ok, so found this on modaco:
Adjustment : build.prop ........... find local\system
Add: new line under #Additional: persist.adb.notify=0
To edit build.prop, you need to be rooted .
which i havnt tried yet but i am sure it would work.
i dont want to actually disable the sound, just change it to something that isnt camera_click...
Bumping my own thread, but it happened again. the sound went away before when the camera 'click' file was deleted.
Now the usb disconnect sound changed to 'Mum' which is nice enough but goes on really long.
Once again, its gone away by deleting that file. Which is not ideal.
Anyone have any better solution? I have heard different sounds on custom roms before on my old HD2 so the file name or link must be in a data file somewhere?
I still don't know what caused it to happen again anyway.

this is still a huge problem. its giving m random beeps. i just upgraded the firmware and i still have the problem
I know it's late, but for anyone else experiencing this I believe I found the fix from another forum.
you replace the Default.wav file in the /Windows with a silent wav file.
I copied it to my computer, had to uncheck the read-only setting then opened in soundrecorder. it sure enough is that horrible beep. play it then select "delete before current position" Save it and replace.
haven't heard a beep yet

You healed the fever but did not cure the disease... check your appointments, alarms to see if is one of them that is causing it. You stopped the sound from playing, but whatever is causing the beeps is still there.
Try a hard-reset and do not sync with your PC for 2 or three hours. Also, do not install any app and let us know further.
Regards.
sounds like low bat issue or a missed message a missed text or mms or email that has not been looked at can cause it to send a reminder every 15 mins if you have that turned on. the one thing i had to do was open every email in the phone i had one not read and beep beep beep.
now your power might be high but if the battery is failing like mine i get the beeps at 50% because the bat is crap and at less then 50 shuts off.
is your phone on wifi?
if it has wifi enabled it'll beep everytime it searches out a new connection
those sound like logical answers but my phone had none of those symptoms....
I checked everything I could possibly think of. The people on the forum where i found that "fix" seemed to be just as baffled and nobody ever really came to any conclusion.
someone suggested searching the registry for instances of that .wav file and removing them but that didn't seem to help either
blanking the wav seems to be the only remedy for that annoying noise you're gonna find if you do happen to have this problem
Not sure if this has been posted before, but I became extremely annoyed when, at about 4am, my Epic 4G Touch would wake me up with a really loud beeping sound declaring that it had been fully charged. Also, the phone makes a nice loud annoying sound when you even plug in the charger. I found a way to make these annoyances go away.
Assuming you're already rooted, use Super Manager (from the android market), go to File Manager, go up a few levels until you reach the root folder ( / ) , then go to System, switch to R/W, go to media, audio, ui. In this folder you can alter these files and it will disable certain sounds. PLEASE DON'T BLAME ME IF YOU F*** UP YOUR PHONE FROM DELETING OR RENAMING THESE FILES. Find the file you want to change, long press, and choose Rename. I personally renamed mine by putting the word OLD_ in front of the original file, just in case I needed to rename it back. Here are the files I renamed:
Charger_Connection.ogg <---Disables the initial noise when charger is plugged in
TW_Battery_caution.ogg <---Disables the loud beep when the battery fully charged
TW_Low_Battery.ogg <---Disables the loud beep when the battery is low
Hope this helps a few people.
I finally get to remove those annoying sounds

Hey there, long time lurker first time posting,
Just a quick question to see if any of you guys know where to find something.
Recently installed the BeanStalk 4.4 ROM onto my N7105 LTE. All is fine and dandy except when connecting/disconnecting a USB cable, I get this really annoying sound that loops over and over until I drag down the notification bar.
I've checked literally every sound option and for the fun of it checked all the others too - can I find it? Nope.
I had a quick search on here and found someone experiencing a similar issue on an S3 with a solution to navigate to system/media/audio/ui/ and delete/rename Charger_Connection.ogg
This file doesn't appear in that folder on my Note, I had a look at all the other file names contained in there and tried renaming the dock sounds and wireless charging (long shot, I know) but they still don't work.
Now to the question; how do you stop this sound? I don't mind having to dive into the file system to change/delete a file. I'm hoping I've just been a little bit of a silly and missed a setting somewhere
Just creating this thread to start a list of small things that I've noticed on the the phone to date.Maybe sometime has answers or similar issues but has found a workaround.
1.Pre Order SD card. Lots of people having issues with this one, send like it needs to be formatted on a pc before it can be recognized?
2. Bluetooth : the phone doesn't seem to like changing broth sources. It won't auto connect to the most recent device and I found that I had to turn it'd my car Bluetooth when connecting to my headphones as the phone kept trying to connect to the car. Bit of a pain. Anyone else have this?
3. Oppo Swype: I had moved to swiftkey on the S3 but seeing as it's pre-installed I gave it another shot. I just found it that if you go to themes you can get a smaller keyboard and move it to your preferred side.nice.
4. Couldn't find the setting to get apps in alphabetical order. TIP: It's located in Settings - Main Screen, then select the icon to the right of where it says Oppo Launcher. Maybe it's just me but this seems like a weird place to have it...?
Separate items for ColorOs 2.0: Recognising that this is still a Beta so my own fault if I'm using it
1. Auto-brightness is a bit touchy, seems to get confused quite a bit.
2. Double-tap to wake hangs from time to time, and has resulted in 2 forced restarts today. Which is annoying
3. Gestures in general are a but more sluggish on 2.0
4. There seems to be a one-handed mode in 2.0 but I've only ever been able to get it to work accidentally and could never repeat the trick.
5. There also should be a multi-window option but I have no clue where it is, so put this one down as it's not too easy to find some of the settings.
Anyone else find anything annoying and get it fixed?

I'm using Swype at the moment so am not sure about the G keyboard. But I have always had the same problem across multiple ROMS. I just came from OmniRom on the S3 and it would often just randomly revert to google keyboard from swiftkey which was my default choice (so basically the reverse of your problem) Not sure it this is a common issue for Android?
ColorOs 2.0
Just wanted to call out that the Oppo recovery and Back up functions work very well. Flashed to ColorO2 2.0 beta and everything worked without a problem. A good sign!
I've experienced the Bluetooth switching pains as well. With my car and headphones both stored it works fine for my car but gives me fits connecting to the headphones where I have to delete my car to make it work reliably.
I've problem too with bluetooth. I can connect to my car (toyota radio BT) but no sound on the car speakers.
The music player starts automatiquely when the phone connect the car radio but no sound.
It's a problem for me because previously I use very often the music player with my Galaxy S3 in my car.
Do you have an idea to corect this issue ?

Have you checked in the settings that Phone and Media audio is set to 'on'? I know that my one had to be changed manually the first time. Also are you on ColorOS 2.0 or the current stable version (can't remember the number), maybe an update will resolve the issue for you?
You can find the beta 2.0 here:

Thanks xenOphon for your answer
I use colorOS v.1.2.0i (french version)
Media audio is on in BT settings (but I can't find "Phone" in settings) .
Do you think that ColorOS beta2.0 is stable enough (thanks for the link) ?

No problem
My own BT has the options Phone and Media, maybe this is just my one, not sure to be honest?
As for ColorOS 2.0 it is stable and runs smoothly for the most part but there are one or two issue that I just added to the original post. Having said that the bluetooth connections are now working better than before. Not sure if that is related to 2.0 though!
Ok, thank you for your help
I think I'll try version 2.0
One thing that annoys me is when I'm scrolling up to read past text messages and it hits the point where it has to "load" the next bunch it goes all the way back to the last one sent in that conversation. I then have to scroll all the way back up again. Not a super huge problem but annoying when it happens. Does this with a couple other things I think but I can't recall what. I know scrolling through my music library would kill the SD card that came with the phone, that's annoying but SD issues have been discussed already.

the sms app in general is not the greatest. this has been the only real negative worth mentioning. the app is laggy. bad enough that Hangouts is the sms of choice at the moment. i wonder if that issue will be worked out in the coming updates.

I've had this issue with multiple phones and ROM's. The only way I found to fix it was to either freeze the one that is the issue or delete it completely.
Sent from my X9006 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The only annoyance I have found so far is that even on the lowest volume setting the notifications are still really loud!
Okay so I got a response from Oppostyle
Original MSG. Yes it's vague but I'm so used to tech support from anyone going down a checklist that I gave up going into any detail on the initial encounter because I always get asked what I've already answered.
The 32 gig SD card continues to randomly disappear/unmount from the phone. I have the exact model but in it is a 16gb instead and it works fine without any problems. What are my option on getting the supplied 32 GB replaced/exchanged?
Response
Hello,
Thank you for contacting OppoStyle.com customer support.
I'm sorry to hear about the issue you're experiencing with your microSD card.
Could you please try format the SD card on your PC or laptop by using an SD card reader?
You could also follow this simple troubleshoot procedure and advise the result:
1. Insert the SD card into the card slot.
2. Turn on the phone.
3. Go to settings - > storage. The phone should recognize the volume of the card.
4. Select "erase USB storage"; if this is not possible, please take a screenshot (Press "Power Button" + "Volume down" at the same time).
5. If step 4 is successful, please try to copy larger files to the card and see if it's readable. If it doesn't, please take a screenshot once again.
5. Go into Camera app. Navigate to settings -> Storage and change the storage to SD card, then try to create a Full HD video (around 3 minutes long), then try to play it on your phone to see if it's working properly.
Please let us know if this steps works for you or if this doesn't, please attach all the mentioned screenshots for us to have a look.
Looking forward for your response, have a great day.

and my response that I'm about to send them
Support,
I've formatted the card multiple times in both fat32 and NTFS in different allocation sizes as well. I've already already formatted it via the phone as well. I can do all of the things mentioned in your trouble shooting no problem. The problem arises when I try to do multiple things concerning the SD card. For example I can not listen to music stored on the card and take a picture that is saved onto the card, when I do the card "disappears"/unmounts from the phone. I can play music, but if I scroll through my music library while listening to music the card disappears. If I'm taking a picture or listening to music and Titanium backup begins to run backing up my apps, the card disappears. Anytime the card is accessed twice it fails. I know it's the card because my 16 gig I can do all of these things without problem with it. I've tried my 16gig card formatted to fa32 and NTFS and it works on either file structure just fine. It also takes multiple restarts at times for the card to show back up in the phone.

It's okay, changing the settings in MaxxAudio makes the difference
It works !!!! Finally, I installed another music player (PlayerPro) and now I have sound on the car's speakers !! So I think there is a problem with the native music player.
Well oppostyle is sending me another SD card. Hopefully it's still the Sandisk Ultra 32gb and not the slow one they have listed on their site. Either way it'll be nice to have the extra space that actually works correctly. I'm surprised by the fairly quick response and turn around time.
Side note
Looks like AT&T didn't like me telling them their low level tech support sucks in the short survey they sent me after doing a support chat via their website. Got a call yesterday from a private number, which I never pick up, so they left a voice mail saying they wanted to do a follow up. Probably nothing will come of it unless they want to magically add the Find 7a to their database or activate my sim for another phone on their network that does LTE. I guess I'll find out when they call back later today. This doesn't work I'll see if I can convince one of the store people to let me activate my sim card on a display model.

Happy days, that would have been unfortunate if you weren't able to listen to music in the car.
Hi - I've got an inexpensive Android One phone in which I can easily set the message alert sound to one of my mp3 sound files. I would like to do the same thing to my much more expensive Pixel 3a XL, and I cannot figure out how to do this. The Pixel 3a XL has many already installed notification sounds, but nowhere can I find where I can set my own alert sound. Surely this phone can do what my inexpensive Android One can. Can someone please help.
Thanks in advance.
Go into the app and open it's options, notifications, sounds. In the resulting menu select my sounds and your local notification tones will be there. You need to of course have the notification sound on the phone and you must grant the app permission to access storage so that it can use it.
Could Still Use Some Help
Hi krabman
First of all, thank you for trying to help me with my problem concerning assigning a custom music file to my message notification. It is appreciated.
However, either I am missing something (quite possible) or we have different OS software. When I open the messaging app, go to settings, notifications and sounds, I am faced with six different menu selections, each containing about a dozen different notification sounds. These menus are labeled: My Sounds, Pixel Sounds, Classical harmonies, Minimal Melodies, Reality Bytes and Retro Riffs.
But nowhere can I find any place in which I can assign my own music file. So if you (or anyone else) has any ideas, I would appreciate them. I know that this is not really a big deal, but for some reason it is to me and will affect whether I buy one another one of these phones. Thanks Again.

My Sounds will display files in a few different folders, like Notifications and Ringtones, you should place your sounds there. If you want something from somewhere else, try using an alternative file manager like Solid Explorer and it will be an option when you try select a sound... It will allow to see files in most of the phone, like Downloads and Music.
Create a folder called 'audio' in the root of your SD card (internal only in the case of this phone)
Within that folder create three subfolders: ringtones, notifications, alarms
Place your files in the appropriate folders, and they should show up. Notification sounds will show under "My Sounds" in this case.
My media should find any media that isn't behind a .nomedia flag. However the fellow above is correct in that it is much easier to back up and restore if you use the ringtones, notifications, and alarms folders which are already on the root of your drive to store your tones.
You do not have a different OS or software, make sure you have the media downloaded, store it as described, select it as described, make sure your specific app has storage permissions, and it will work. Not might, will.
Edit, if you're trying to use a full song as a ringtone those may be getting filtered out depending on your settings, cant help you with fixing that; not because I don't know how but because it's incredibly irritating when people somehow think that everyone wants to listen to their entire 3 minute ringtone because they're so awesome.
Finally; Success!
I put the mp3 file I wanted to be used for messaging notification into the internal memory\notifications folder and it then appeared in the messaging\setting\notifications\My Sounds listings. I then enabled the radio button and pressed (the incredibly small) Save button. I thought that I was home free, but when tested it still used the default messaging notification sound. I then went to the OS\Settings\Sounds\Notifications\Advanced and saw that despite having changed the messaging sound from the app, it still listed the default one. Once I changed it there, Bingo! It works. So what I’ve learn:
1) That custom sounds on a Pixel are chosen from the My Sounds menu.
2) The in order to get your sound there it must be in the proper folder, such as internal memory\notifications or internal memory\ringtones.
3) That simply setting this custom sound on the actual application may not be enough, that it also may need to be set at the OS level.
I am a long time Windows phone user (and sad this is coming to an end) so this is my first Android phone. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped me fix this problem. I could not have done it without your help.
Thanks again.

BTW, if you install Solid Explorer, or any other app that can register as a file selection app (most file managers can) you can select it as an option to pick the tone, then browse to any file on the phone and it will apply and work (just tested it with a random MP3 in a random folder with the .nomedia tag). So the limitation here is the built in Sounds picker app.
