I've searched around here and the web and can't find an answer to this - There have been various posts and suggestions on how to stop the beep once a battery is fully charged (I use a free app 'Battery Charged' to stop this).
However what I can't find is a way to stop the beep when I connect the phone to a charger/pc USB cable. This is very irritating not only me but others when at work and I want to stop it.
Anybody know of a setting/app that stops it - Just have a vanilla rom and have no intention of rooting it.
Thanks
Edit: Sorry should be in the Q&A section
Looking through the files, I would start with trying to rename/delete/replace /system/media/audio/ui/Charger_Connection.ogg but that would probably require root.
uh on the iphone you put the phone in silent mode with the flick of a switch. are you meaning to say you can't do this with android? And people wonder why people would rather go the iphone route for usability?
Ignore the guy above & download an app called 'Tasker'. it costs about £4 from the market but it is AWESOME.
Tasker will allow you to set up 'rules' for example so when you plug in a charger/usb cable etc you can individually mute the volumne but still allow texts, emails, calls etc to sound & ring (unlike iPhone which is a global mute).
Job done.
Sure, buy an app to get basic functionality. That's the android answer for everything, isn't it
root and delete the file, job done.
Oh and dont feed the troll above!

Just put the phone on silent using the quick panel, this stops it fine if your not wanting to use modded themes or buying 3rd party apps.
If your only wanting to stop the charging notification then whats the point if any other sounds will disturb other colleges, pointless trying to disable one sound when others are going to irritate the same.

Agreed + valid point but I have profile set up for example that mutes all notification sounds (charging beep, texts & emails) during the night while on charge. If someone needs to call me cause of an emergeny etc the phone still rings though.
That's the beauty of the Tasker app.

Hey,
So I've heard some pretty good things for Tasker. I like the options available, and the configuration seems very detailed and customizable. I've searched on these forums, but some people say that it caused their phone to freeze, and they had to re-flash their system. I'm not sure if it was because they added some stupid setting, or if Tasker genuinely messed up. Does anyone have any input they can add?
i love tasker. been using it for about a year now. i have set up several different tasks and automations....excellent app
I have no issues with Tasker, though I'm barely scraping its potential. Basically using it with Minimalistic Text to give me weather, missed calls and missed SMS notifications.
used it on my captivate for a year and now my S2 for the past 9 days. been very solid. i do some cool stuff. for example:
1. plug in phone between the hours of 10pm and 7am do the following:
phone says: silent mode on
then it does the following:
silent mode on
system, media, incoming call, notification volume all go to 0
when i unplug or go outside of the time window it says silent mode off and reverts back to my original volumes.
2. location based sound settings
when i leave my house it turns wifi off and all sounds up. when i get to work it turns wifi on and all my volumes to half so i dont blast people while in a meeting.
3. paging
at work we use sms as a pager. when u send something to ur att txt email address it comes through as 410 something something. so whenever i see a 410 number, it turns all volumes up, plays and repeats a sound 3 times, then puts the phone back in the state it was. i.e. if at night silent (see item 1) and if during the day whatever location based profile i was in.
basically, tasker is bad ass. it has a big learning curve. i am a programmer so conditional based logic comes more natural.
Very stable here.First time using it, there is definitely a learning curve but out it's quite logical and obviously powerful.
Used it on my Captivate and now on the SGSII, absolutely no problems. I just use it for turning on my Wifi when I'm at home, turning auto-rotate on when I turn on my browser and turning GPS on when I open up maps.
Tasker has been stable on every device I've used it on, including this one. It just may be my best paid app. Expensive (in comparison to other apps) and complex with a learning curve, but the immense functionality and potential make it worth it.
logic ?

Bla Bla, if it all came so natural you should set the phone to silence mode instead of setting all volumes to 0, its more logical.

I am looking to turn my eris into a pure mp3 player for my daughter. she uses it now for that reason, but it doesn't need the dialer, phone book or anything else like that on it. to me its just wasted space. i am open to suggestions. is there a rom out there that i can use that will do this? i have searched and found nothing.
I'm not 100% sure you can remove phone and dialer stuff without getting force closes on that process. I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure those can't be removed.

this might be what you're looking for...?

you don't need to remove the dialer, contacts, phone .apk's, but with most launchers giving the option to hide certain programs, you could hide them and those apps would only be accessible when going into Titanium Backup or Manage Apps within the settings. at least that's what i did, just in case i need to activate the old eris in an emergency and need the phone functionality, since all phones can make 911 emergency calls even after deactivation.
EDIT: just happened to be browsing that thread, and saw a few posts from you, so maybe this is old news to you! lol, anyway, hope this helps if not, cheers!
Ya know removing the dialer and stuff wouldn't help you free space anyway because that is stored on the system and your mp3s are on the SD card.

That works perfectly, thank you very much. and you guys are all correct on the removal of the phone book and dialer. and everything is already on the sd card, i was just trying to clean / speed things up a bit. i appreciate the response from everyone.
I've been wanting the same thing. But I've decided to make it a home phone that is relatively always plugged in and use sipdroid to set it for inbound and outbound calls. I occasionally use it as an example mp3 player. I may try breaking the ROM apart, but honestly just use a startup disabling app like systemtuner productos or autostarts.. That can literally disable everything from turning on at boot. And other trigger points. Freezing sometimes breaks the ROM depending on what it is.

I've been asking if workshed wants to make one last ROM for the Eris which encorporates that script into it as well as removing every system app not necessary to making it a wifi enabled music player, but he seems to be busy with his other ROM development. I think I'll be making a thread about it, that way if a dev is interested in making it, they can take it from there. Sort of a dev-shopping thread. I've been meaning to for a little while.
whenever I mount the phone to my car dock, S Voice comes on first! When it wasn't working on my Skyrocket, I just froze it and said screw this thing, but now that it works just fine on the SIII, every time I mount it to the car dock, I have to close out of it first before I can get Music up and running.... is there a work around for this to prevent it from coming on when mounted to the car dock I haven't thought of yet?
I quit using Tasker, it got to be too damn much on the phone, so I just use A2DP Volume to automate the connection - when I connect my car dock, it loads Music and adjusts BT volume for me, but it won't close an app on connection.... How can you prevent S Voice from coming up in the first place?
EDIT - I found these steps for turning off Voice Talk, the older version of Google's Voice Commands, and I'm going to give this a try. The motion part isn't applicable though, I think....
Try turning off DOUBLE TAP under Voice Talk settings.
Click on and bring up Voice Talk, then hit the bottom left button and click SETTINGS.
On the SETTINGS page, scroll down to the VOICE TALK section and click VOICE TALK SETTINGS.
On the next page, click on MOTION.
Next page, under MOTION ACTIVATION SERVICES, uncheck DOUBLE TAP.

WORKAROUNDS - We now have two workarounds to solve this problem.... Here they are:
If you like S Voice and just want to prevent it from starting up when car docked, use the Dock Nothingness app and select it by default the next time you car dock
If you don't like S Voice and want to block it completely, just freeze it with Titanium Backup and it won't run at all (PRO key must be installed for you to freeze and defrost apps)
Did you get anywhere with this problem - I'm in the same boat. What I'd really like is the old default car home to launch, but not getting s-voice (useless in my little convertible!) would be a great start!

Nope, but I think your issue would be easier to overcome since you can just download Car Home Ultra or something similar, I don't want any car home to launch at all, just the A2DP Volume app which will launch Google Music for me....
I have everything set like they said on the S Voice settings page, so it doesn't activate with a double tap home input, but it still comes up! Now that I have Tasker running as well, it asks if I want to use S Voice or Tasker, or either of them by default, and I don't want any of them, really! If I say Tasker, I believe it will do nothing, but that might interfere with A2DP Volume, and then I have to set Tasker to run A2DP Volume when it is car docked..... that's straight up going around in circles now!!!
I have the same problem... please fix! I do not like S Voice...

Nothing I can do about it, I'm definitely not a dev....
I selected Tasker by default when car docked and it seems to work just fine right now, I don't have any task set when the car is docked, but at least it recognizes Tasker will take priority when car docked instead of S Voice! That's the best work around I know of so far....
Sorry if I'm mentioning the obvious, but if you go into s voice in the applications manager is anything set in its 'launch by default' section? I don't have anything in there now, but that may be because I set my car-launcher as default on docking. I don't know if 'on dock' was in there before.

That's a good thought, but no, there are no defaults set on my phone either under that setting - it was worth a look though! I'm sure it's got to be something as easy as that though....

If you are rooted, why don't you just freeze svoice? I didn't like it so I froze it when I was freezing all of the carrier installed crapware (didn't want to uninstall it in case I actually get some of the features enabled).. freeze it and you will never see it again.. (I don't think I would risk deleting it since if it breaks something else it is easy enough to unfreeze/thaw the application)... this of course requires you to have titanium backup and pay for the elite license which gives you these features..
Double Home doesn't launch anything anymore.. although I never had a problem with it launching when going into car-mode.. I had turned that feature off...
I am still a noob with the andriod phone.. I had an iphone before this.. but am finding that I really like the flexibility of andriod over iphone..
It looks like we have a decent work around, posted by zen0s on the Infuse car dock thread:
zen0s said:
I just tried this and it works great. To get rid of that annoying "S Voice" pop up everytime when phone is docked. Go to play store and download "Dock Nothingness". After you install it dock your phone and make "Dock Nothingness" as your default app. Now you won't be bother with those s-voice launching.

I froze it using TiBU on my Skyrocket and that worked just fine because S Voice wasn't really working well with the phone, but now that I have an SIII, I want to use it when it is appropriate for me, not every time I dock the phone! So the two options stand, freeze it or run Dock Nothingness to prevent S Voice from starting up every time it is car docked!
Well, bad news folks. It seems that while we can indeed get to Blocking Mode, it doesn't appear to be fully functional. When I first found it and tested it out, it successfully blocked the calls I made from my computer via Gmail and Skype. But after some further tests this afternoon, it didn't actually block any calls made by some friends via their cell phones. So, while it's there, it doesn't seem like it's fully functional. At the very least, maybe this gives us some hope for someone out there to find a way to get it working consistently or that Verizon will enable it in a future update.
___________________________________________________________________________
I was playing around with one of my favorite apps Any Cut. Regrettably, Any Cut (which isn't available in the Play Store any more) doesn't work correctly on Jelly Bean, but it works enough to be able to take a look at many of the shortcuts it's able to find. And low and behold, Blocking Mode was in the list. Since Any Cut is problematic on Jelly Bean (it kind of works, but not completely), I found another app on the Play Store that operates in much the same way that Any Cut does - QuickShortcutMaker.
No root required!
Here's how to get to it:
1) Download QuickShortcutMaker from the Play Store. (Note: the app closed on me a few times while trying to use it, but it eventually worked)
2) After QuickShortcutMaker installs, open it up.
3) Type Blocking Mode in the text field. The app is pretty slow when it comes to populating the available shortcuts, so it might take a little bit. Once it finishes, tap on the first result at the top (It will say "Settings" with Blocking mode underneath it.
4) Rename the shortcut to whatever you want. It's named "Settings" by default, and I changed mine to "Blocking Mode."
5) Tap "OK."
6) You'll now have a shortcut on your homescreen that will take you right into Blocking Mode (the icon will be a cog just like the Settings icon). Open it up and and block away! (Note: the shortcut on your homescreen will be the only way to access Blocking Mode, so if you delete it, you'll have to create a new one in order to get back into the settings for it)
Known issues:
The app will force close when trying to add contacts to the custom allowed contact list. But it seems to work fine when selecting "Favorites" as opposed to creating a new custom list. So if adding contacts to a custom list is force closing for you, add the contacts that you want to come through to your general favorites list when Blocking Mode is enabled, and then use the Favorites option in the Blocking Mode settings.
Thank you!! Now lets figure out how to get the S Planner widget on this thing.

I am as well. It's probably due to the fact that Verizon doesn't have it fully implemented. Try adding the contacts you want to come through to your general contacts favorites list and then select the favorites option in Blocking Mode. That worked for me. I've updated the original post to reflect this.
I didn't think of that. Thanks!

Blocking mode allows you to set a specified period of time during which the phone will not ring. But you can set it so that the phone will still ring for certain contacts during the time it's enabled.
For instance, I don't want to be disturbed while I'm sleeping by random calls or texts, but I don't put my phone into silent mode while I'm asleep because I'm worried that I'll miss an emergency call from family. With Blocking Mode, I can block all calls/notifications from coming through except calls/notifications from certain people. So calls/notifications that I feel might be important, like from family or certain friends, will come through, but all others won't. That way I'm only woken up by people who I feel are important enough to wake up for.
It's also helpful in other situations when you're busy and don't want to be disturbed except by certain people.
Wow EXCELLENT find OP!!! Much kudos to you!
I can't help but feel so offended by Verizon and how they butchered this great phone, or rather tried to...
After almost a month solid holding it back from us, they finally release it and what do you know? They strip it of features that are intended to be part of the phone as sold by Samsung. The fact that it's still there but HIDDEN is proof of this concept.
We need to send this info to all the big phone journalism sites out there like Engadget, Gizmodo, Droid-Life etc and blow some serious smoke up Verizon's ass. Let them know we are disgusted by their attempts to remove features from our phones that no other carrier has done.
Hopefully they realize they were wrong and to fix the negative publicity they decide to send out an update that adds the missing features back. They better

I sent it into Droid-Life this morning after I found it, and a short time ago they posted a story about it - How to: Enable "Blocking Mode" on Verizon's Galaxy Note 2
I doubt this particular issue will get enough coverage to cause any measurable negative publicity, but hopefully it can at least bring some of the stuff Verizon is choosing to do to light for a greater audience.

Cool thats what i tought. Thanks for verifying for me!
tried this, and like others got the force closes when trying to add contacts to "custom". Problem is, this isn't working. I even tried allowing no contacts (to block everything), and every call or text still goes through!
I tried this by calling from my work phone (that isn't anywhere in my contact list), and even call or texting from my regular contacts. These should all be blocked, but they all get through- texts and calls.
I've tried rebooting, but nothing seems to be blocked.

This can also be achieved using a custom Launcher like Nova or Apex. To do this, long press on the home screen, click "Shortcuts" --> "Activities" --> "Blocking Mode".
Granted, the OP way uses the stock TouchWiz, but just offering another solution.
Enjoy!

Hi,
Is there any app that has the option to have the phone vibrate when picking it up when it has missed messages or calls ? It used to be a standard option for androids called 'Smart Alerts' and senior phones still have it...
Of course they removed it now, as they ALWAYS do with the cool features, leaving only the crap.
So is there any app that has this? Smart Notify claims it does but it doesn't work at all... beware I have not rooted my phone and I am probably not likely to do so...

Just saying, there used to be 'Vibify' which was in the play store, but it isn't there anymore...
I don't get it, one of the coolest features since Android 5 and no one seems to even know what I mean, wherever I ask...
Absurd. It's when you physically pick up the device off from the table, the motion sensor then triggers a single short vibration to let you know you have missed calls and/or messages...
Anyone ? Thanks.
