Unsure when this started or if I just hadn't noticed but went I recently changed the default SMS sound I get a notification when turning off the U11+.
The default notification sound accompanies device shutdown or restart.
Is this a stock feature or have I inadvertantly turned this sound on?
Thoughts or suggestions on how to turn off if it is possible on stock?

Let me check with mine later. Sound could be built-in in boot animation.

@kenosis is right, audio.wav is embedded in a folder named part4 inside the boot animation file located in /system/customize/resource/hTC_bootup_U_QCT_2880.zip. i opened the zip on my laptop, renamed the audio.wav file to audio.wav_ copied the updated zip to my U11+, backed up the original hTC_bootup_U_QCT_2880.zip_, pasted the new version in the folder, set permissions and waa-la, no more boot-up sounds!

Thank you for sharing this. This is helpful but not what I am seeking.
The issue with my phone relates to shutting down the device which triggers the default notification sound(not HTC jingle). Is this stock behavior?

whoops! yeah, i totally misunderstood (or misread, lol). definitely not having that issue.
Mine is quiet both on startup and shutdown.
I found what was causing this.
Flick Launcher notification access was turned on - turned off did the trick.
Interesting setting. Not easy to figure out what was causing it.

I tried doing a search, but struggled finding something. Every single rom I flashed, when I go into phone settings and I click ok, it goes to the ring page setting and I see my ring tone change to some default. I could guess maybe it's due to x-button 1.0 but not sure. Does anyone have any clue for a fix?
I don't exactly follow. Just to clarify, you go to Start -> Settings -> Phone change your ringtone to something other than the default, hit "OK" and instead of closing/minimizing, it takes you directly back to the "Phone" settings page and it's set itself back to the default ringtone?
Is that what you mean?

sometimes I don't get good reception at the location I'm at so I go into the phone settings, hit network tab and select find network. I click ok and then it sends me back to the phone tab where my sounds are at and my ring tone is changed to the default. Whenever I do this, I constantly have to change it back to my original ring tone.
I know it's a small picky problem, but just never had this problem in WM5.
Well, that is strange. I couldn't replicate it.
Do you let your battery die a lot? I've heard a lot of Wizards can often revert to default settings if your battery goes completely dead.

I find this happens to me as well... and I never let my battery completely die. I wonder if it's related to the fact that my main phone ringtone is on the storage card... with the Wizard's notoriously 'wonky' miniSD slot, maybe the connection is occasionally interrupted and causes the problem.
Same problem here, using mfrazzz Crossbow Reloaded 1.5. I use a mp3 file as my ringtone, which is in the root of my storagecard.
I have a similar issue and I think it is down to some registry settings and where your ringtones are. I built my ROM with an additional Ringtone and then set this to be the default ringtone through an .RGU file. It works as long as you don't change it.....
If I change the rington (or turn on vibrate) then I can never re-select the ringtone, even though it is listed. If I edit the registry to change it, it works, but obviously editting the registry to change ringtones is a bit OTT. I have been playing around with this as I have a spare Wizard so if I find anything else I will post on this thread.
The registry keys in question are:
Code:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Ringtone0
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone2
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCatagories\Ring
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCatagories\RingPreview

OK, quick update. The file I had as my default ringtone was 'Cellular4.wav'. I added this to the ROM and changed the references in the registry (.RGU file) to point to this file. Now if I changed it via Phone, Options then the changes would take effect, however selecting this file again via the same options didn't work and the file would appear to be selected but was the previous option (filename or vibrate), manually changing this via the Registry worked however.
I have now re-encoded the file to be a .WMA file and re-built the ROM and it now appears to work. The file needs adding to the registry entry to allow it to be selected if the file isn't in the \Windows\Rings folder:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds]
"Ringtones"=multi_sz:"Ring-WindowsMobile .wma", "Ring-Standard .wma", "Ring-Vision .wma", "Cellular4 .wma"

I'm suprise I'm not the only one with this problem. So adding your filename to the registry fixes the problem?

I think the file needs to be there as well, plus it needs to be a .wma file (as opposed to a .wav or .mp3), I am not sure about the extra space in the filename (cellular4 .wma), however it is working fine for me now.

I have been suffering from this too but couldn't find the root cause nor repeatability.
One thing I did find is that switching from Internet Calling back to calling via GSM reset the ring type back to default, even though when initially going from GSM to Internet Calling the latter rang correctly.
I have this problem as well. If the tone is highlighted when I press OK it goes back to default... Click play and then stop..... now it is not highlighted, and it will stay!!
It just doesnt like you Badbert..
happened for me too, then i installed Signed_Tmo Ringtones that comes with tmobile rom. It fixed it. Hope this works for you as well.
wow...it worked, thanks!

I just flashed Cognition 2.2 Beta 4 and while it's not really stated anywhere, I'm guessing the startup sound was turned off. I personally like a startup sound and have a custom one I'd like to use but can't figure out how to get it to work. I see in /system/etc there is PowerOn.snd and no PowerOn.wav like I thought it should be. Is there another place to turn this back on?
Thanks!

PowerOn.wav is what was removed. if you have a custom sound, just name it PowerOn.wav and drop it in there.
Hmmm, then I wonder if there is a size restriction. I did just that and no sound.
EDIT: Nevermind. I copied the file over again and it works just fine. Thanks for the reassurance.
Got the silence files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66258646&postcount=13
You DO NEED ROOT but its simple.
There are 6 files that need to change in system/media/audio/ui
af_failure.ogg
af_success.ogg
cam_snap_0.ogg
camera_click.ogg
camstart.ogg
camstop.ogg
With a root file manager (root explorer, etc) rename those 6 files to .old and replace with the files in the zip provided. Then just FIX PERMISSIONS and reboot.
Very nice find.
For those without root, i'll add this: I was playing with a camera app last night that was recommended somewhere, cymera maybe? And in it, it had an option to go silent. I turned all my volumes up outside the app, went in, took a picture, zero sound. So that might be an option for others.

Thx, works good.
I have the T-Mobile variant and if my phone is on silent, there is no shutter sound.
I believe this is a way to silence the shutter sound without having to add the step of muting your phone.

Hmm so I'm trying to figure it out but no luck yet. I have the sounds disabled in camera except one. When you long press the take pic button. It does the multiple shots til you let go, the click sound is there. Any idea which sound file that is?

I recently got the Note 10 plus and when I tried to use my custom notification sounds they don't show up any longer like they did on my previous S10 plus. I've downloaded them and then copied and pasted them to the internal notification folder as well as the ring tone folder but they don't show up to be used for messages or gmail for example. I contacted Samsung support and they said the option was removed in the latest update. Anyone else try?

No problem for me on the T-Mobile variant. Just put the notification sound I've used since the G1 days in the notification folder and selected it. Same for ringtones.

Really not sure, I transferred mine via usb from pc to phone.
I use Zedge to set custom tones. Been doing it for several versions now and it still works for me. Probably a permissions issue.

I'm sure you were given the wrong information about them being removed. I'm using custom sounds in ringtones and also in text notifications. Look in your contacts>more options>notification sounds or ringtones. You should be able to do it in your texting program as well (I use chompsms) by right clicking on the conversation list for each individual contact and selecting notification. See if that solves it. Losing ability for custom sounds would be a very bad thing indeed!
Did a factory reset and now it works. Those ppl at Samsung don't know their own products.
I was used to the 'Knock Knock' sound for txt's on my Note9. Anyway, found a download of all the factory Note9 audio files (http://www.mediafire.com/file/ed5y26zn5g3wp30/Galaxy-Note-9-audio-files.zip/file), unzipped and placed 'S_Knock.ogg' into 'Internal Storage > Notifications' and it became selectable as a notification sound.

I too was missing that and the actual ring tones from note 9 are also missing so my ringtones are just the new **** music. I think this is going to be my last sammy device. So sick of their incompetency
Had to download the whatsapp and Facebook messenger ring tones as well as the knock knock for text as they sounds defaulted to the regular ring tone. So stupid that they did this, not letting apps select their own sounds to default
Hi all.
Just got the X2 pro and this is my first Oppo phone.
Really enjoying it, have finished setting it up, but... One thing is annoying.
I have copied across some notification tones and I am using Textra as my message app. When I try and select my notification tone, it only shows the oppo tones and doesn't allow me to select from 'another folder' on the phone...
Is there something I can do to add a folder or copy the tones to another folder? I have tried to copy them into the internal storage's 'Notifications' folder but they still don't show up.
Short of rooting the phone to put the files into the hidden/inaccessible media folder, is there anything I'm doing wrong which I have overlooked?
Any help appreciated and thank you in advance.
Assuming EU version of phone? For me, to get different ringtones/message tones... need to go to that particular apps info (long press on icon and choose info, or from the phone settings. Not from the actual app settings) then under Manage notifications click on the specific notification (probably something like default conversation notifications as its SMS). You can turn notifications on or off with the slider, but clicking on it will give you more options. Once in that, look for Ringtone and under Custom should see 'Select from files'.
Might be teaching you to suck eggs, but thats where it is on my phone (CPH2025)
