Disable Power On Power Off Sound and Camera Shutter Sound - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Was messing around with root browser and found an easy way to disable the sound during power on, power off and camera shutter sound.
Simply go to System, Media, Audio, ui. BST. Then erase the "PowerOn/PowerOff.ogg" files or save them (cut and paste them into a new folder) in case you ever want to turn them back on. Do the same for "Shutter.ogg" to disable the camera shutter sound.
If you want to customize your PowerOn/PowerOff or any other sound, simply copy/paste any ringtone (.ogg) sound file into the "ui" folder and re name it "PowerOn.ogg" etc..
Cheers!

How to control the headset volume?

Hello,
been searching/investigating this problem for a while and still can't find a solution.
basically, when using the stock wired headset, I find the volume during a phone call far too loud and not loud enough when listening to mp3s / radio.
when in a call, using the volume button does not seem to make any difference.
any suggestions?
thanks in advance
Go to your music tab in Manila/TouchFlo. From the menu you can choose Audio Booster. This could solve your problem with the not loud enough mp3.
For the phone "too loud" problem you can go to the settings tab -> Sound. There you have two volume controls; Ringtone and System. Lowering the system could solve your problem. But lowering using the touch volume button (as your stock headset doesn't has volume controls if i'm right), should lower the sound during a phone call.
You can push the volume buttons on the left side of the phone. Problem with this is it jumps in big increments.
But it'll also change the volume of your ringtones as well. So what you can do is:
Settings tab -> Sound -> Turn "Single Volume" off
Now when pressing the hardware key, you'll see it bring up System & Ring Tabs. So you can control your music volume without changing the ringtone volume

I forget to mention this, thanks charlie
I have the following issue myself:
Regardless how set up (single volume on/OFF, System volume set to 20% or 100%) my in-call volume of voice, once the call has started is extremely LOUD, regardless of who calls and how loud they speak.
This is even more so, if I'm using the wired headset.
Using the side volume buttons during a call do show the volume animation AND the volume bar goes down, but the actual in-call volume doesn't change a bit.
This is maddeningly loud.
Is this how it should be working?
I have stock 6.5 ROM (WWE), no hacks.
Same problem here...
... any solutions?
I have single volume turned off, and regardless if I try to turn down "ring" or "system" volume, the headset stays extremely (uncomfortably) loud...
Cheers,
Jan
Having the same problem. Is there a fix?
Not sure if Volumex fixes it on the TP2, but on my TP1 and HD2 no such problem.
i have the same problem. Volumex doens't fix it.
It's incredible that there is no solution for this stupid problem.

My stock headset has a volume control, I gather yours doesn't have this feature?
no i haven't this features..
however i found the possible solution (it work for me), searching in other topic of this forum.
You mast edit the file audiopara3_TMO.csv (windows folder, it is hidden so you must use an explorer which allows to see the system hidden file like resco explorer).
basically you have in this file these lines:
F0,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL0,0,4000,4000,0,4000,C8,0,2000,0,780,FF9A,2580..
F1,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL1,1,4000,4000,0,4000,1F4,0,2000,0,780,FF9A...
F2,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL2,2,4000,4000,0,4000,5DC,0,2000,0,780,FF9A...
F3,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL3,3,4000,4000,0,4000,1388,FFFF,2000,0....
F4,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL4,4,4000,4000,0,4000,2EE0,FFFF,2000,...
F5,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL5,5,4000,4000,0,4000,61A8,FFFF,2000...
the most important value is the sixth (in hexadecimal) which is the volume value. if you use the volume level on the left side of the phone the volume of the the headset changes according the value reported in this file. I edit these values according to my "ears" ranging between c8(volume=200) and 61A8(volume=25000), and i clearly feel the change in the volume when i use the headset (you need an hex-decimal converter, there are several online)
actually (as suggested in other topic) you must point in the registry editor to this file, creating the value
HKLM\drivers\builtin\wavedev\AcousticFile and set this value to \windows\AudioPara3_TMO.csv (or rename the file as u want but with extention csv)
After editing soft reset.
In this file there are the other volume values for calls without headset, with the bt, and with the carkit. these values are in the lines
F6,PHONE_HANDSFREE_VOL0...
F12,PHONE_EARCUPLE_VOL0...
F18,PHONE_BTHEADSET...
F19,PHONE_CARKIT.
i suppose that to change the volume values on must changes the sixth parameter as in the previous case.
This works for me, and solve the problem.
I link the original discussion which helps me to find the solution:

I know this is probably stating the obvious, but if you press the volume button and you see the volume bar you can always adjust it to your liking by swiping your finger up and down on the volume bar. This way you can get the inbetween volumes between too loud and too low.

Silent Ringtone Selected

My Phone seems to have itself stuck with the Ringtone on silent. Every setting says its up. Audio Manager has all the volumes up. Message tones work and so do system / media and alerts. But the ringtone will not make a noise..
When I press the volume up button on the home screen.. it comes up with Silent Ringtone Selected..... Is there any way to get rid of this?
Thanks in advance
Solved....
Just Wipe data + cache
reload ROM and restore all apps back from default and bingo...
I know this may seem over kill but it works and I really need my ringtone on the phone (wife due to go into labour any day soon)
Thanks

Silent Ringtone
I'm actually having this same problem, and it's 2 years later. I believe that I have found the solution though.
I'll start out by saying I got my Droid Pro about a week ago.
I downloaded the "Voice Recorder" app by Mamoru Tokashiki.
I would record audio for ringtones (generally song snippets because I'm too lazy, or stupid, or I like to make more work for myself than downloading the actual ringtones). I would retitled the files (.3gp) and hit "Set as Ringtone." Then if I toggled my volume rocker it would say Silent Ringtone Selected.
I came to these forums and immediately knew that I didn't want to root my phone or do anything like that. So a lot of people suggested it was the software. I ditched the software and downloaded "Tape-a-talk" by Markus Drosser. It records in both .3gp and .wav. I use the .wavs because they sound so much better.
It worked for me once, but then I started getting the same message. It couldn't have been a problem with the software because I ran two different apps. It's something with the way that the android system saves the files.
I tinkered around with a process that is working for me now (it involves a lot of turning on and off which is annoying, so get prepared).
1. Open recording app (I use tape-a-talk) and record your audio. It shouldn't matter the duration (I thought I was getting the silent ringtone error because my files were too long, but that's not the case).
2. Immediately set the recording (labeled with some generic date like 03-19-2012.wav) as your ringtone. Toggle the volume rocker to check if you get the silent ringtone selected. (If you do, then try re-recording as .3gp. If that still doesn't work then this process probably won't work because something else major is wrong with your phone).
3. Turn off the phone.
4. Power back up (30s downtime).
5. Open up Settings>Sounds>Phone Ringtone. If 03-19-2012 is set as your ringtone then you should be pretty okay. Go back to the home page and toggle the volume rocker again to double check.
6. Turn off the phone then power it back up.
7. Go back into your recording app and find the generic file, rename it to what you want.
8. Set the newly titled .wav or .3gp as your ringtone.
9. Toggle the rocker to make sure it saved properly.
10. If it did, then turn your phone off. Turn the phone back on and open Settings>Sounds>Phone Ringtone.
If everything worked it should have your ringtone set and saved with the new file name.
Then you're free to enjoy.
That process works for me.
Some people may still claim it is the software, but in my experience it is a matter of how your phone ends up saving the recorded files.
This information is useless if you're talking about downloading a ringtone, btw.
Hope this helps anyone in the future.
solution
i had the same problem so i searched in every option from settings
so here are the steps...
settings -> sound -> ringtone -> phone ringtone
when you open the "phone ringtone" you will see that your phone is set on "silent". well all you have to do is to choose another ringtone from that list, or, if you want a song from your music player you just set a random ringtone from the list and then go in "music" and set as ringtone your favourite song.
hope it helped ^_^

[Q] Default tone on every start up (and shut down)

Hi All,
I personally dis-like the start up tone motorola picked for it's Defy (and the shut down tone).
Is there way can be modified to other of my downloaded tone or make it silent when starting up the phone every day ?
Thanks a lot.

disable sdcard notifications
You can download Silent Boot from the market.
Or copy the sounds you want to /system/media/audio/xxxx (whatever folder), remember to set permissions similar to the other files and then reboot. The problem is the sdcard is not mounted yet when it tries to play the sounds.
Thanks to ALLLLLLLLLLLL,
I did not know this is sound relate to the SD card when mounted.
I did that just to un-check the sound in the SD card notification.
Thanks again!
edmond
I have SD card notifications turned off. My phone boots silently, but it still plays a loud and annoying beep when I switch it off. Is there any way to fix this?
Try installing Silent Boot from the market; It works for shut down too, despite its name.
Can it also kill that horrible beep that sounds every time I unplug the USB cable? That doesn't involve booting or shutting down my phone.
No, but you could use any program that allows you to set the System volume.
So that's were that horrible beep is hidden. Thanx. I silenced it with Quick Settings.
Do you know how can kill the beep that plays when I push the volume rocker? The visual volume indication is enough for me.

[Q] How to remove the clicking sound of volume buttons?

I can remove the focus & shutter sound of camera by delete the relevant .ogg files but I'm not able to find the right sound file of volume clicking sound. It's quite annoying that sound is coming on every press of volume key and it can only silent under vibration mode.....
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Add my own Notification sound without root

How can I add my own Notification sounds without root?
I noticed when changing your ring tone there is an ADD button. But there isn't one for notifications. I would like to change the sounds based on the app, different sound for email and another for texts and facebook and so on. Except I want my own sound I've created on my PC. I reied with Root Explorer but it says I'm not rooted so I can't ad to the notification folder.
I did a search and I've noticed the link below but I'm not sure how that helps. The notifications are deep in the folders in the storage not on the sd card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082468
You can download this app
http://apps.audiko.net no root needed just need to have open source. It let's you search for ring tones or notification sounds. If they don't have the sound you're looking for you can go to that Site on your computer upload the sound clip and it will turn it into the format you need for your phone, then click download on your computer, plug in your phone to your computer, open your phones folder, find the notification folder, drag and drop that sound file, close and check your notification sounds on your phone and its should be there.
This worked for me when I was taking a sound from my I phone and putting it on this phone. If the sound says, .caf just rename it to mp3 snd upload it to that site.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
1) Encode the sounds to the ogg format
2) connect your phone to your PC and open the phone (not sdcard) folder
3) If it doesn't already exist, create a folder called "Notifications"
4) Drop your new .ogg format sounds in that Notifications folder.
That's it - Assuming they are valid files, they'll now be available for selection when using the system's media picker for notification sounds.
