Notifications and ringtones coming out of speaker and headphones - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I find that with headphones plugged in, notification tones and ring tones come out of both the headphones and the phone's speaker. Anyone else have this too? Anyone find a way to turn it off? I really don't like this 'feature' if that's indeed what it is.

Mine does the same thing.I've been through every setting and I can't seem to change the either....anyone with more info on how to stop this b much appreciated..

Its a design of the rom.
Touchwiz does that.

Notification sounds don't shut off

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.

I have this same problem with my sgs 3. It's really annoying i had checked everything but notification kkeeps popping up even when i have read all my emails next messages.

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?

[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.

[Q] Phone ringing with headphones attached

Does anyone know how to change the default ring behavior under Android 4.1? I can put my phone on silent and it will not ring, but when I attach my headphones, it rings both through the headphones and through the external speaker. I know I can turn the phone on silent mode with the headphones attached, but then it doesn't ring in the headphones either.
I want it to ring through the headphones when they are attached but be silent otherwise. It's embarrassing when I'm on the train and the ringer goes off.
When I was running 4.0.1 it acted as expected, but since upgrading I can't figure out how to get it to work the way I expect it to. Any suggestions?
As far as I can tell it is an issue with 4.1.1 across many AT&T phones. Not just ours. I think the only solution is to put the phone on vibrate so that you can feel when a call comes in. I don't know of any way to change the behavior in the player settings but someone on here just might.

Same with rogers telus etc too. I think 4.1 is the same across all carriers.

I had this issue as well. But the weird part is that notification and SMS comes thru the headphones. I just think it makes it pointless. You say it is 4.1 thing, but it must also be 4.2 as well. I thought it was just the ROM. Guess not

Ringer volume

Does anyone else struggle to hear the phone ringing when it's in a pocket outside? I've missed loads of calls.
Any way to make it louder?

Washer, you might be interested looking in HERE if you are rooted.
So far mine doesn't have any problem as my phone speaker is facing upwards in my pocket. I haven't tried yet the mod yet so if someone can report here it is working it would be great.
Hope this helps!
I have my phone upside down too! Not rooted, breaks too many of my apps

Try either "Sweet Child of Mine - GnR", "Still Got the Blues - Gary Moore", or "Bad to the Bone - George Thorogood", as ringtones.
Strange... My phone is so incredibly loud i always fear the speakers will break one day
But Im rooted and have several sound tweaks...

Try to increase the sound of the ringtone file. You can do it with some third party softwares. I used to do that with Nero's wave editor.

Using FauxSound the phone is insanely loud now.
Custom kernel needed.

No Sound AT ALL cm 11 nightly

Hello!
Ive been having a very very unusual problem to where my phone (sgh -727) has no output sound at all! But sometimes suddenly speaks, thus telling the that the speaker works fine! Even after the phone's audio output works it is often stopped once again by making a phone call or listening to something! This has been happening for about 4 weeks now.
My skyrocket has no sound during:
Phone calls
Youtube or Songs on the phone
Alarms
Ringing
Dial tone sounds
No sound through headphones either
I am not sure if my phone is vibrating or not due a faulty vibrator.
Thank you soo much for all of your help! Hope I can get this problem fixed! :cyclops:
I also have a similar problem after changing the USB Port.But in my case vibrator works. In 'speaker mode' no sound and 'Ringer' is dead completely
