Can anyone tell me how to switch of the DTMF tone on dialling?
THanks
PS - I'm a newbie when it comes to android - got bored with WM.
DO you mean the keyboard tones? DTMF tones are something else entirely!
when in phone press menu and look in settings for keybaord tones.
but be warned, when you turn these off, DTMF tones will also be disabled and your voicemail will stop working, because you wont be able to select menu items when you call automated lines like voicemail.
and yes i know i said they were different things entirely, and they are, it just for some stupid reason, android has linked them together!

Thanks for that. I've turned them off and can still access the menus within the vodafone voicemail service. Just found them annoying especially when in work!
On a Galaxy nexus, is there a way to change the sound effect for when you press a number or a letter when typing or dialing like you would change a ring tone?
I have a N7102 with the stock ROM. When I am in a call, say, calling some customer service number, that will require to enter number on keypad of the dialer to navigator thru the menu, I cannot hear any sound feedback. Before making the call, when enter the phone numbers on the dialer, I can hear the water drop sound. I have checked all places for settings but cannot find any option that seems related to this. It is really wired to hear nothing when touching the keypad. Anyone can help? Is this a ROM problem?
Hey guys, I just purchased my S3 on Friday (decided that I didn't need the S4 and the S3 was only $50) and I've already come across a few things that are annoying, even though I already love the phone.
My main issue at the present, though, is that I'm used to (and prefer) hearing the DTMF tones when I'm dialing a number in the phone app, but I can't find any way to enable that with this phone. Is there a way to change the keypad tone without rooting the device, or is it going to require root to do so?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Go like ur making a phone call when u see the dialer then press the menu u will see ringtone and keypad tones go in there and click to turn it on

To clarify, you can have a bubbly kind of noise when you hit the dialpad, but not DTMF tones. That setting is :
dialer>menu>Call Settings>Ringtones and keypad tones>Keytones
Kind of bugged me at first too, but I got over it
I would guess there must be some third party dialer that gives you DTMF back, but I got used to it pretty quick, especially since i hardly ever make a call from the dial pad any more.

I even got the problem that my S4 does not send the dtmf signal. I cannot call a hotline or service number or anything. Most of the hotlines ask for a number to go on...e.g. 1 for English, 2 for German etc.
That's not possible with the S4 due to the bubble sound. I assume you got the same problem with your S3, didn't you?

My s3 has dtmf tones, it's under phone>menu>call settings>then scroll down, 3rd option from the bottom. I still have the bubbly sound when dialing but the dtmf tones are still there.

Correct!! The bubbly sound is when you first dial. Once connected the dial pad works just fine and the dtmf tones are all there. Any service line that you call that requires dtmf tone work perfectly.

Might turn out that it is just me =)
In the menu, there is not such an entry. There is just Call settings>Ringtones and keypad tones>Keypad tones is checked. It says "Play tones when keypad is pressed. There is no other entry indicating something related to dtmf.
I cannot imagine that it does not work, since it is a very essential function. Am I wrong?

Don't go into ringtones & keypads, just scroll down
Tsss...what a f...
I just called a hotline, there was no dtmf signal to navigate through the menu. Afterwards, I turned the background noise reduction of and tried it again. It was working properly and I could navigate through the menu. I turned the background noise reduction on again and it is still working, so there was just a conflict between the signal and the noise reduction....
Damn system LOL I am working on that since Saturday...
Problem solved!
Has anyone taken the time to fix the dialer tones, not just so it doesn't make the ridiculous drip sound, but so it makes the actual dialing tones when numbers are pressed?
The best you might be able to do is change the drip sounds to another sound, but since it is really simulated, you are not going to be able to make each key give out it's real tones.
More detail.
When you are dialing a number, the numbers you are dialing are not actually sent anywhere until you actually hit the send button. That is how you can backspace out of of what you dialed. So what you are hearing is just feedback to let you know you dialed a number. When you hit send, the numbers you have entered are then sent as the string of codes to the carrier to make the call.
After you have a call going and are connected, any keyboard presses are sent as actual tones to the other side, but even then the tone you hear on your end is a beep with the same sound (not a drip but different) no matter what buttons you press. The proper tones are heard on the other side.
So the best you can do is replace the drip sound with another sound, but it will never be a different tone for each key.
