So, I know everyone loves Jelly Bean - I couldn't wait to get it. And while there are some great things about it, there are also some annoying things. When using Google Voice to Text input it makes that loud "beep" sound to let you know to talk now. Is there anyway to at least lower that sound? I use a voice control app called AVX and when in "wake up mode" (means it's listening for a special command to wake up and take your request) because it's constantly listening using Voice to Text, that beep goes off like every 20 seconds or so. VERY annoying. I'd like to get rid of it altogether or at least lower the volume on it.
Would love a non-root way to do it, but this might also be the thing that finally gets me to root my phone if that's what it takes so all methods suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks!
Just wondering if anyone has a solution for this

I was wondering if anybody knew of a way to silence my text ringtone (I have a 30 second song clip) by hitting the volume rocker/power button. Just to clarify, I want to silence it while it's going on (as opposed to just setting the phone to silent beforehand).
I know that hitting the volume rocker while the phone is getting a call will silence it, but it doesn't do it for texts or email notifications
Thanks!
I don't think you can do it.
But really, a 30 second sound clip for every single text message? How does that not drive you insane??
To be very honest, I think this was apple's exact argument for not allowing custom sms ringtones

Many times while I'm home my phone isn't in the same room as me, and they were just carry over from when I had my blackberry (in which anytime you hit any button on the outside, it would mute the current ringer). So I usually don't hear the entire clip usually, but it is very annoying if it is in the same room
Edit: Haha well I was sure that because RIM could do it, there would be a way to do it on android. I figured it would have to probably be built into a ROM or something
Is there any way to change the really annoying (and loud) beep that accompanies a call waiting notice? It sounds like somebody on the far end is pressing one of the number keys.
I really thought someone I was talking to was tapping keys intentionally yet it turned out that I was just getting a call. It is an annoying notification but I have not found a way to change it.
Has anyone else experienced this? when I have my phone hooked up to my car stereo aux jack to listen to music.. I get a text and then no sound, until I receive another text!! its like to txt notification is muting the music and then not un-mutting after the notification is complete. this was happening on stock un-rooted phone and on all other roms too!!! its the reason why i rooted it.. and im still stuck with this problem, I have to send texts to myself to get the sound working again.
oh and how in the heck do you keep it from announcing the person that is messaging you? it is quite annoying, i just want a simple notification.. not a name or a number being called out for every one to hear.
well I take it im the only one with this problem???!!
cant say...i play music all the time in my car and once notif is done the music comes back on. are you using stock music player, stock sms and stock notifier?
i changed to handcent to see if that would help and yes I have changed player and neither of those help.. how do you keep it from reading peoples name outloud when a text comes in without putting the phone on silent?
It's never happened to my on stock or on a rom.
Here's Help

To answer your question, I have the same problem too. Never tried sending myself a text to get it working. I just boot into recovery and then clear cache and reboot.
As for the phone telling you who's texting you here's your fix to that.
1. Go to Settings
2. Go into Voice input and output
3. Go into text-to-speech settings
4. Check to see if Driving mode is checked.
If it is this is what makes your phone talk to you.
5. Go into Driving mode settings
6. Now uncheck what you don't want your phone to say out loud.
Hello, I am using my samsung galaxy s6 edge (SM-G925F) and I find that the most annoying thing in that device or the android most is that when I listen to music it got interrupted by a notification so the music stops for a second to play the notification sound and then continue and even not where the music stops at and that really annoying me so much
I tried too much methods to solve that one of them that I used to mute the notification from settings/sounds but I found that is not quite in my hand because not every time I'll remember to turn it on after finishing listen so it's not good
The second one is to downloading an app called Don't Pause and I found that app is quite useful but a one problem, that's muting the whole phone and putting it to vibrant mode and I don't want to put the phone completely silent so I thinked that when I pay to the donate version I've got that feature that is muting only the notification not the whole phone but no, I didn't find any difference between the both so why I would pay for something not useful. Is there any app can do that job but just muting the notifications?
So please I want a permanent solution for that problem because I am getting sick
Hi.
This is probably the most annoying problem I've got with this phone. Basically, when your headphones are plugged in and you're trying to enjoy some music, receiving a text message results in a loud and clear "beep" tone. I understand it could be useful at times, for example when the screen is off and you actually care about any messages you may get, but most of the time it makes it pretty much impossible to listen to any kind of music at all, because the sound can be really disturbing.
The problem is that the tone can still be heard, even if you enable all "silent" modes and what not. That includes the "no disturb" mode as well, but it doesn't deliver any less disturbance, go figure.
I could think of two solutions to that, first would be to just go into the airplane mode, which is suboptimal for obvious reasons and it also won't work at all if you stream your music (when there are no WiFi networks nearby). The second thing I've yet to try is to set a silent audio file as the message tone to see if it removes the beep sound. I'll have to try it later.
Let me know guys what do you think about this matter and what other solutions come to your mind. Maybe there's a way to disable the feature in the settings somewhere, which I just wasn't able to find myself?
