[Q] S3 keypad tones - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Would anyone know if it is possible to turn off the 'drip' tone when dialling a number and have normal phone dial tones.

Menu --> Settings --> sound --> Keysound on (under System).

Well for me that just allows you to turn the "Drip" on and off.
I don't want a drip, I want a more normal phone tone, as used in tone dialling

did you mean to change the default keypad sound (drip)?
i believe you must replace system sound and of course it need to be rooted..

I would like it to sound like piano keys. Much better than a drip sound.

[Q] HD2 ring without sound

Hello,
Sometimes when I receive call in my HD2 it's don't made any sound, the call is ther but no sound is made. I miss some call because of this. Any sugestions?

I imagine you have changed a setting on the phone, just save your info and do a hard reboot to return it to stock

I all ready try that, but do not work.
Go to Settings->Sound & Display
-Check your profile settings
-Make sure your ringer volume is turned up.
-Make sure you have a ring tone set.
-Check that your ring type is not set to 'Ring once' or 'Vibrate only'
-Turn off the 'quiet ring on pickup option'
-Turn on 'pocket mode'
See if problem persists.
Also, how often does this happen ("sometimes" is a bit vauge) and does it happen only when certain people call you?

Thanks for the tips, but the problem persists.
It happens 2 times in 3 calls.
I think that i have to send the phone to HTC assistence.
Is it the same numbers you are having the problem with?
If so its a setting without doubt.
Try deleting the full phonebook entry for those numbers (write them down if you wish) soft reboot (press the red or yellow rest button under the battery cover) then have them call you again
I had the same issue. The issue was the ROM I was using. Sometimes it did, and sometimes it didn't play my custom ringtone.

The same thing happened to me too a few times. Still dono where the problem is...
Mine did the same, and afte a hard reset, it did not recover. Send to HTC and found out that the speaker is broken. They replaced it under warranty. All is fine again after that

[Q] Why no dialer key sounds?

Hello all,
I searched on the forum and the closest anyone had to my problem was having no phone audio at all.
The issue I am having is my key presses in the dialer make no noise when placing the call and no noise while on the call.
Example is I call at&t and I press 1 for this or 0 for that and the keys make no noise so Im not sure if the autophone system is registering my choices.
I am on stock rooted rom and shouldn't have any apps that effect the dialer.
I have checked in the settings and the options are checked for it to make sounds and vibrate on keypress.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Make sure your system volume is up and that "Audible touch tones" is checked.
This is my fourth android phone btw. I've checked all the obvious stuff for why I wouldn't be hearing it. All the other keys in every other app work as they should.
Well the only reasons you wouldn't be hearing the keytones on a stock ROM is either the setting is unchecked or that the volume for system sounds is off. I am on a custom ROM and the sounds are working. So this would mean the issue is one of those, or for some reason files got corrupted. Back up your stuff, and try restoring your phone to factory settings.
So I switched my keyboard from the stock samsung to the stock android and now it works without having changed anything else. This is weird.
I have always found it annoying that I am not able to hear tones dialed while in a call on the GS2.
On my Captivate this was an option, and it actually worked.
On the GS2 there is an option for audible touch tones, but it must only control tones when dialing a number, but not while in a call (ie. when using an automated system etc).

Mute/Vibrate problems

Does anyone else have the problem that if you have a text tone, email tone & phone ringtone, then try and Mute or put in Vibrate mode the S3, it only mutes the ringtone, both text messages and emails are still heard. Just found that out while in a meeting
Never experienced this before, any ideas?

No, this doesn't happen to me.. if I put the phone on silent everything goes silent.
Then if you open the volume control settings you can see that the icon for notification is crossed out to indicate silent.
Are you on a custom ROM? And how are you enabling silent mode?

I'm on Vodafone stock rom, I use the notification menu and selected Mute or Vibrate and text/email tones come through. I've even turned off the sound using the volume buttons, but these tones are still coming through.
When you go to volume settings do you are the icons crossed out when in silent mode?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
I get either the icon mute or icon vibrate mode set in the notification bar area. I think I may end up trying a full reset and installing apps one at a time just in case one is conflicting.
One thing I have noticed is that if I use the volume rocker and turn it to mute, if you click the settings on the right of it, it shows all 3 volume settings and I think this is where it's not muting the other notifications

[Q] HTC One Sound problem?

I just got my One yesterday and so far ive only had one problem. When I put it on silent or vibrate mode, Notification sounds still play for sms etc. is this a bug or just how the phone works? coming from a galaxy nexus where silent mode would stop all sound.

Mine mutes sound in vibrate. I haven't used silent.
Go into the messaging app press menu and choose settings. There you will find the options for notifications

i have the same problem n this is the second htc one im using n still getting this problem..when i put the phone on silent it will ring out laud when i put it on vibrate it will still ring out laud wtf is going on ??? anybody knows
Why should someone need to modify the SMS app settings? If you put the overall phone on vibrate, that should be the prevailing condition. Mine not only plays notification sounds when on vibrate-only, it also rings...LOUDLY.
I'm having this issue as well! Every time I change the profile, I have to manually set the sound options. When I switch profiles, the settings never save. Does this defeat the purpose of profiles?! Why is this even an issue?! Anyone find a solution yet?
Turn off "Pocket mode"
Nope, still resets all profiles.
The only thing I can think of is maybe the contacts that are calling you are set up as "VIP"?
I saw another thread that said those contacts will always make the phone ring regardless of sound settings..
It's not just the calls. When I go to sounds, I select normal and put all the volumes to max. I go to vibrate and set all of the volumes to mute. When I switch back to normal, the notifications and alarms are mute and the calls are max. Nothing ever saves. I just want normal mode to have all volumes max and vibrate to mute everything. I'm completely new to Android, but there's got to be a simple way to do this.
So you're saying that after you select the "sound profile", you also manually make changes to the individual settings after that?
Because my impression of the profiles is that they are pre-set profiles.. and once you change a setting manually it is not going to "save" that change. The sound profiles are just that: pre-set profiles that you cannot save changes to.
I could be wrong though.
That could be a possibility. I find it a bit peculiar that they give you the options to change settings, but doesn't let you save them. I'm hoping that isn't the case, but if it is is there a way to create your own custom profiles? And would there be a way to switch to those profiles using the quick settings coming out with 4.2.2?
Honestly I haven't been interested in the profile feature. I pretty much keep my phone on one setup which is 80% volume for ringtone/notifications and 60% for media all day I don't need to constantly change profiles. If I need minor adjustments during the day I make them on the spot. So I'd have to look into it

Thanks for the help. I just find it hard to believe there's no way to set your own preferences. I even downloaded a 3rd party app that supposedly allowed you to create your own profiles. I set the Vibrate profile to silence on everything, to test it I text myself and bam the phone makes noise. Awesome. I just don't understand how this can be, it's starting to get a bit frustrating.
So let me ask a couple of questions so that I can target the right solution for you -
1. Are you just looking for something that will 'silence' your phone during certain times of the day/night? Or do you need something more complicated than that?
2. Do you need the sound profile to also have the option to be activated based on location? or just time
thanks
I'm not looking for anything location or time specific. I just want to have the option to switch off all sounds and have vibrate only whenever I need it. And the option to swap back to normal, of which I would like to have everything on full volume. For example, on the iPhone there was an external switch that shut all noises down and switched the phone over to vibrate or silent depending on the users settings. There is no external switch on the HTC One, so I'm trying to find a quick way to do that internally. I thought that was the purpose of the profiles, but I guess I'm mistaken. There must be a way to do this.

Yes, that's how the profiles (should) work.
When you want to switch to silent/vibrate, just select one of those. But don't manually adjust anything after that. Only switch the profile.
But honestly, it just sounds like you need to hold "down" volume until it hits vibrate, or silent.. and then hit "up" volume when you want sound back. Don't understand what it is you're trying to do, sounds like you're over-complicating this IMO. Because you're not asking for anything special.

From the HTC One user guide
Changing ringtone settings
Switching between silent, vibrate, and normal modes
Do one of the following:
- To change from silent to normal mode, press the VOLUME UP button.
- To change from vibrate to normal mode, press the VOLUME UP button twice.
- Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap > Sound > Sound profile.
Lowering the ring volume automatically
HTC One has a quiet ring feature that automatically lowers the ring volume when you
move it.
1. Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap .
2. Tap Sound.
3. Select the Quiet ring on pickup option.
Making HTC One ring louder in your pocket or bag
To help avoid missing incoming calls when HTC One is in your pocket or bag, the
pocket mode feature gradually increases the ring volume and vibrates when you
receive a call.
1. Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap .
2. Tap Sound.
3. Select the Pocket mode option.
Right, that's what I thought. That this should be extremely easy. However, it is not. One way to do it is to hold the volume rocker in either direction and it changes the profile. BUT, when I switch it to vibrate, the notifications and alarms still make sound. Only the ringtone is silenced. That is not what I want. I want ALL sounds to be silenced, which is what I thought the settings would be for. When I change them it works, everything is silenced. But once I switch back to normal, Vibrate goes back to being ringtone-silent, notifcations & alarms - max volume. I hope my situation makes a bit more sense now. I would consider myself pretty tech savvy, so trust me when I say this is extremely frustrating. Thanks for your help so far though!

I just looked at it again and the "default" volumes for normal mode seem to be max volume and mute notifications and alarms. Why on earth would that be the default. Why would I want my alarms to be silent when its in normal mode. lol So I change notifications and alarm to max volume, switch the profile to vibrate and then back to normal. The volumes are then set back to max volume ringtone and mute notifications / alarm. WHYYYYY..
That's why when I want the phone on vibrate or silent, I just hold volume down. Then nothing makes sound. Not the notifications, ringtones, nothing. Using the profiles sounds like a hassle to me.
When I switch it to vibrate like that, the notifications, alarms and media are all still at max volume.

keypad sound

My keypad continues to make sound in spite of Dial-pad touch tone being turned off. Any other way I can make this go away?

Which keyboard are you using? Check whether you have any option in the keyboard settings which have to be enabled/disabled.
