Audible selection

How so you change the audible selection sound? (that click when you interact with screen elements)

Good question ..gotta be a way to replace it with a friendlier sound. That high pitched "click" sucks

I want r2d2 beeps. That will cause me much joy.

would be awesome to customize the sound, but i don't think that's available now, at least not without a custom ROM or something. i just switched mine off and left just the haptic feedback vibrate, sound was getting really annoying.

*sorry for the double post, connection lagged and posted twice, mods can erase this post

Now that we have a selection of roms, is it possible to edit audible selection?

Wouldn't it be cool if the phone played a random audible selection tone? Your phone could sound like a baby cooing and giggling.

First off download or make a custom sound of your choice but, make sure that it's under 2 seconds long & remame it to TW_Touch.ogg Then drag it to your SD card but also make sure your phone is rooted and download (Root Explorer). Once you got Root explorer downloaded open it and go to sdcard & find the sound you wanna use & hold & select copy. Go back once then go to System/media/audio/ui. The default sound you wanna replace is TW_Touch.ogg. Make sure the mount is R/O & just paste & your good to go. Now every time you make a screen selection the sound you chose will be heard. Hope this helps

[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
Try this!

LOL - I suppose the gauntlet has been thrown. When I get to updating tweakstock it'll be an option end-users have as to whether or not they want that enabled/disabled.

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
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

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?
- ooofest

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.

Separate volume control ringtone and notification

I am a bit anoid that in kitkat you cannot set / control the volume of the ringtone and notifications independently
On my old S3 I would use tasker to switch the notification sounds off at certain times but now this also mutes the ringtone
Does anybody know a way to split the ringtone and notification control??

You can't on stock... I learned the hard way. Now on a custom ROM and I can unlink them. Love it
