Notification sounds don't shut off - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Anyone else have this problem? Can't imagine I'm missing a setting.... Mute generally means mute.
According the this screen shot all sound should be off, correct. Dumb question but I want to make sure I'm not missing something.

So, I'm the only lucky one with this problem? It's not a big enough deal to return to it but it is annoying.

Okay, sounds will not shut off no matter which method I try. Any ideas? Factory reset my week old phone

Audio manager from the play store effectively shuts the sound off if anyone else has this problem.

Samsung wants me to send the phone in to fix this but I'm not sure being without a phone for a week or more is worth. Plus, I'm pretty sure if I install a custom ROM this problem will disappear. I'm frustrated, this is a stupid easy problem to fix (with an app) but a BRAND NEW phone should not have this problem to begin with. I wonder if I flashed the stock rom on top of the stock rom (lol) if that would work? Only one other person has this problem?

factory reset should fix your problem.

As a workaround you can choose "Silent" as your Notification sound.
If you only need this functionality at work for example look at Llama that will allow you to configure it very easy.

I've tried Llama before but really didn't look into it too far. Where I work is only about 3 miles from my house so I'm bouncing off the same tower in both places..... Did not work too well with Llama. Can someone check if there volume shows the same as mine when set on mute? The only thing muting is the ring tone. Just curious...

I see the same thing if I set the phone for Silent mode.
There's all different notification sound settings in this phone, I've noticed - my email accounts have their own notification settings per account, messaging has its setting, etc.
Maybe Silent mode primarily silences ringtones and doesn't prevent separate apps from making sounds? Which types of notifications continue to make sounds?

All of them. Anything not set to silent (email, text, messaging, etc) makes a audible notification when the phone is set on mute. Also, when my phone is set on vibrate I also have audible notifications.

From the User Manual, pg 124:
Use Silent modes to temporarily silence the sounds your
phone makes, except for media playback and alarms, or
replace them with vibration.

So, it doesn't seem to claim affecting your sounds beyond the ringer and maybe keypad noises or similar. Working as designed, it seems (not that I agree with their design, in this case).

To me that means it should silence notifications since it's not "media" or "alarm"? I'm just going to buy sound manager since it has more options anyway..... $2.99 to end my frustration with this

I would classify "alarm" as notifications, in trying to interpret their jargon for the context given.
Yeah, an app which can configure sounds across all your apps and settings seems best, here.

Appreciate you looking that up in the manual. I actually downloaded it after your post . I bought the app and set my work and mute profiles... Nice app. I know this is stupid thing to worry about but it gets frustrating when I get woke up or a notification goes off during a meeting. Silent on the sound manager app silences everything.

I know this is an old post but thanks for the tip. I was in class last night and someone was giving a speech and all of a sudden my phone starts whistling. I thought it was in mute, apparently the notifications were not. I'll give sound manager a try.

Actually I've had no problems since the jelly bean update.

Hmm, mine was still having the issue, even after I installed Sound Manager that you suggested. I found one "AudioMuter" that worked perfect for me for 0.99.
Fyi please tell me Ryno is for Ryne Sandberg?

Same here...I enabled it and it doesn't lock....anyone figured this out yet?
I experienced the same result I enabled the sound and no sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Try a batter pull. (hard restart)
Maybe that will fix it.
Mine has worked since day 1 though...
I just tested mine, and mine works. No reset needed.
I used the 'volume controls' setting in the My Settings app from the market to change the system volume from 2/7 to 7/7. Before, you could kind of here something, after, you can definitely hear it.

[Q] Ringtone

Every time i get a call my ringtone starts off very low and then gets loud? why does it start off low and is this fixable?
I think this is just a bug with gingerbread and I don't believe there is anyway to fix it. Trust me it annoys me too! Lol
This and sometimes it will play my default ringtone when i have an individual ringtone set for someone.

I don't think it's a bug, but by design, it started out low and increasing louder so you don't jump when someone calls and It give me a chance to stop the call before the tone is too loud. For me I like this.
Not a bug. Called ascending ringer the vibrant is like that as well. I know there is a way to disable but involves Dev work. which is lacking in these forums

WEA Alert

So I'm sitting at my desk when all of the sudden my phone starts making this annoying sound like they use for severe weather alerts on TV. I was using a tethering app at the time so the first thing that popped in my mind is that Verizon detected it somehow and fried my phone to get even. But when I picked it up there was a message on the screen advising me that I might die in a possible flash flood that might occur in my area...
Pretty neat, I just hope we don't get them too often, especially in the middle of the night. Here is more info on it:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...hone-near-you/2012/05/18/gIQAqPBrZU_blog.html
I believe the stock TW messaging app has some emergency alert setting in it. Im not at my phone right now so i can't tell you exactly what it says.
Same thing here. Cool as Hell

ive gotten this twice since release day. One was for flood warning and the other tornado warning. Im in NYC WTF!!!! LOL scared the **** outta me! The tornado almost touching down in Midtown was one of the craziest things ive ever seen! I just wish we could change the ringtone, its loud and super annoying but I guess thats the point.
is there any way to disable, i dont wanna know if im gonna die :highfive:

I haven't found a way to disable the presidential alerts without replacing the stock messaging app with the apk pulled from an AOSP rom.

My guess would be alerts addressing state of emergency, terrorism attacks, or environmental catastrophe.

i was asking if any mod was made to remove it
Let's seriously not turn this into a political debate. It has nothing to do with one single President. The Emergency Alert System has been around for one time and a lot of the stuff we're seeing in phones now was initiated by Bush.
It's also something that pretty much everybody supports regardless of political affiliation. A national Presidential alert has never been issued, not even on 9/11, and would only be sent out in the case of an incredibly serious natural disaster or attack against the country. If you seriously want to be kept in the dark even if an emergency far worse than 9/11 happens, well, it sounds like you might have some trust issues.
Thread closed
The information on how to disable these alerts is contained within this thread, it's gone political, so thread cleaned and closed.

[Q] Sounds Issue

Anyone else having a problem with their sounds after "un-muting" the phone? Example being I mute the phone at night or for a meeting, then when I turn the volume back up I notice my sounds for texts, fb, emails, etc do not work anymore, and I have to go back and manually reset them. The phone ringer does still work though. Just curious if it's something I am doing wrong or have overlooked. Not rooted or unlocked. Yet.
My phone does the same thing with the sounds. Except ive never muted my phone and im unlocked and rooted

The only thing I've noticed about sound is that ringtones and notifications go thru the head phones or bluetooth device when one is connected, instead of the back speaker.
Further Observations
Last night I tried turning the volume down to the lowest setting, but that was no good either. Today I have received a handfull of emails with no sound at all after I turned the volume back up. I can't verify texts yet as I haven't received any to this point. If it makes a difference or not these are all custom alerts or tones, not "factory" sounds.
Mine r factory tones i still hav the problem. I believe its a software issue the brand new phones have

Moto or ICS?
Hypothesis
After several weeks, I think I may have figured it out somewhat, at least for me. It seems if I have the phone plugged into my computer usb either in mass storage or media mode, and get an alert of some kind (sms, email, etc) it will cause the sounds issue. If I just use the wall charger, I don't seem to get the sounds issue.

Weird sound randomly happens

Hello I am experencing a really weird sound that randomly happens on my skyrocket that doesnt seem to be associated with anything. I am on slim bean build 7. I have turned off nfc because I thought that might be it but it was not. Any thoughts?
What is the sound, is it a notification sound, or a system sound?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
No clue, just a random sound that I never herd before. Doesnt matter if the phone is pluged it or not, if the battery is full or almost empty, still happens. I'll try and record it.

Do you have any Voip apps? Social apps? Most voip or social apps (Viber,Facebook,Skype,etc) have their own preset notification sound. If you have any of these apps check the settings. Turn off notifications for those types of apps maybe?
