[Q&A] Short Notification Tone? - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Does any one use custom notifcations for their phone and notice that it cuts short? I have the "Cloud" sound from the Galaxy S 2 but I notice it doesn't play the sound completely. I also have the "Gamma" sound from sense and the phone doesn't completely play that either. When I play either of the sounds from the Sound Player app it plays completely but when I receive a new text it cuts the sound short.

i'm having this same issue

Has anyone else at least noticed this? This is very annoying :\

Same issue, my custom notification ringtone would cut off. I posted it on another thread. The only fix is using zedge for now which was recommended by another user.
***The zedge experiment didnt work. Notification ringtones started to cut off. :/
Ok now it's working again. Extremely confused!

Has anyone tried deleting the threads? Cause I noticed mine doing this too I have the Canadian version but I noticed it only does it for the people I text a lot but with other people it doesn't do this. Let me know if that helps? Maybe using a different launcher with a texting app would be better

Hey! I think you're on to something. I sent myself a text from my Google voice number and it played the full sound clip. I had my friend text me (I have 200 messages in that thread) and it cut the sound short when I got the text. I wonder what would cause that though...

Same problem here.

2 questions!any alternative to NoLeD app?

i am rooted using miui latest version
it seems NoLeD does not work, my favorite app
i need an alternative or clarification if it will be supported in future miui builds (cant post in dev thread yet XD )
another question relating to miui
every since i used miui my gps navigation does not lock on, ive tried clearing cache, and using gps status toolbar but nothing seems to work
thanks!! also if there is no alternative to NoLeD does any one here have something they do to show they have texts they havent read? its a great feature but its not 100% mandatory that i have it
..maybe something that vibrates my phone every 30 seconds until i turn it off?
You are probably better off asking in the MIUI forums unless you are using the version of MIUI still available in the dev forum. There is no support available for Galnet MIUI on xda.

I'm liking 'easy reminder' almost as much as I liked bln. I set it to a quieter ringtone to go off every 15min if there's an unread message or a missed call I haven't checked.
Has made my paranoia of checking my phone every few minutes from having a 'phantom vibrate' and wondering if I just missed a call or message.

thanks, ok i will check out those 2 apps
i like the default sms though how it wakes the screen
does rooting or using my rom increase my signal? i dont know what i did but when im at home i always had horrid signal, so bad i could not even check facebook or browse google
but right now i can check facebook and even download apps on app store, i think i went from -120 db to -100 db, im just not sure why but if its because i rooted, well i wish i knew i could do that from the start lol
also the gps thing fixed itself, i think it was due to my location (was at work but outside the building ) i had good reception but when i tried it further down the street it locked on immediately

Random notification sound and vibration

Hello all. I have noticed that several times a day my phone will vibrate and the notification sound will play. I look at the phone and i do not have any message. I know it's not roaming because I am right in front of a cell site and have great signal. I did a search and found that folks were having this issue with a yahoo mail app, yet I do not have this app. I am on stock with the latest OTA (until new root comes out). Any ideas? I guess i can live with it as everything else works, but I'm worried that a message might be coming through and i'm missing it.

Its probably Facebook, make sure you disable notification on the facebook app or be woken up at 3am to hear about how much your girl loves twilight and ****

I would have to go through HTC to unlock the bootloader though correct? Want to keep this off the grid as much as possible.

Well when the facebook notifications happen i typically see an icon. I went ahead and disabled the notifications anyways and i'll see where i'm at in a few days I guess.
I am married, but I can say that if a woman of mine ever made a pro twilight post, I would remove her from my life.
unfriended with extreme prejudice! My Facebook notification was pretty sporadic, sometimes it would only appear for the length of time the vibration was happening.
So far, no vibrations. Maybe that was it...
I have had similar issues when I had the Yahoo mail app installed. You can turn off system notifications but it still makes the sound. I since just use the default mail app so not sure if it's still an issue.

[Q] Blocking mode not working with whatsapp?

Hello.
I'm using a German version of the Galaxy S3 with stock 4.1.1 ROM.
I own it since few days, coming from iPhones and I'm still learning how to use it.
One very useful thing I've found is the blocking mode. I use it at night to stop notifications sound and to permit only my family calls to go through.
Whatsapp notifications, though, are still coming through and I'm forced to manually reduce the notifications volume to zero.
Is it a bug or am I missing something?
I've tried setting the blocking mode with both time range and "always", but no differences at all.
Thanks.
I was woken up this morning by whatsapp messages, so if anyone has an answer it'd be appreciated.
I am having the same problem.. i think the problem is with whatsapp itself it must be a bug as when u go to notification settings the "ringer" whats comes up as default tone not the notification tone.
hope this get resolved quick! i have emailed whatsapp but got standard email template... delete app ... reboot re install ..etc
No one has a solution?
I have the same problem but a month or two before it did worked. I guess that maybe an update of whatsapp has disabled this. It very annoying waking up because of that horrible whatsapp noise.
Update
Just installed JB 4.1.2 and the problem is still there.
So it seems to be a Whatsapp problem, and it's a very stupid management of the notifications.
The notifications should be managed by the system and if the system says "shut up" ALL notifications should comply.
For me this is a point in favor of iOS.
P.S.: not a fan boy of course. I own both devices and it's normal I compare them.
WhatsApp uses a different method to sounf notificiations, this is why it can sound notifications even playing music (other apps would mute/pause the music for the notification)
I guess someonr could patch WhatsApp, my smali knowledge isn't that good to do it myself.

I understand, but if Google implements a kind of "do not disturb" mode it should know that some apps can use music as notification sound and block that too...
Problem lies with whatsapp. I did mail them about it, no response :/ m forced to put my phone on silent always :/

[SOLUTION] Blocking Mode WhatsApp Sounds
First of all, I do know that this is a fairly old thread, HOWEVER, it is still the first result on google for "blocking mode whatsapp", so i figure this is where people look. So i hope you will forgive me.
I have found a solution to the very annoying problem which many people seem to suffer from.
I have found a way to include the whatsapp sounds under the android blocking mode.
You will need the LightFlow app, (which i believe is a must have app for the S3 anyways (OP said he uses a s3)).
after you got light flow:
1: In What's app:
- disable notification sounds for incoming messages(not in light flow, in whats app). set it to silent or disable at all
2: The go to light flow and:
- enable sound notifications for whats app
- set what ever notification sound you would like to have for whats app when blocking mode is NOT enabled
- under Sounds-->Volume control method-->tick "Android standard notification volume"
Now it you enable blocking mode, it also blocks what's app sounds and if blocking mode is disabled, everything is normal.
hope that helps....took me quite a while to figure it out.
edit: oh and i do not have any affiliation with the light flow app or their developers!!! i just used it for changing lights and came across the sound feature by chance!!!
its a shame. other blockers block it, why can't the native JB also do it?
furstrating. didn't want to install another software on the phone when the block mode works so well, except for whatsapp of course.
Does this exist with 4.2.2 as well?

Yeah, I've got a Nexus 4 on 4.2.2 and the issue is on that as well. It's a problem with the way whatsapp handles notifications, not the Android firmware version.
Thanks Tyler D for the solution, will be testing this later today.
I am experiencing the very same issue on my Samsung Galaxy S4 running 4.2.2.
Do you have any news? I tried to email whatsapp support a few days ago but I am still waiting their reply.

[Q] Using the dialer's sip client

Hello, after a full day of googling, messing my device up, and headaches - here I am.
Before I go any further it would probably help to explain my device configuration. I have a galaxy player, which has no mobile data or cellular capabilities (essentially a phoneless galaxy S), running unnoficial cm9 ICS. Because cm9 hasn't been optimized for media players, I still have the phone features such as the dialer built-in.
My goal is to get google voice working with the sip feature on the cm9 dialer. Through the help of pbxes.org and trial and error, I have mostly succeeded. The one minuscule yet painfully crippling issue I have is the ringtone doesn't play when I receive a call, even though it vibrates and shows the call screen normally. Now before you ask the painfully obvious; YES I tried setting a new ringtone, NO my device isn't in silent mode, and YES my volume is turned up.
I haven't tried a data reset yet, but that is last resort as I have no way to nandroid. I was wondering if this is a bug with cm9 or ICS in general, or a device specific issue I have. I would be so thankful if anyone that has experienced this and possibly found the solution could share it! Thank You.
I'll take silence as a sign no one else has this issue?

You know I do use a third party app but to have this ability would be kind if awesome. Right now I use groove ip but have the dialer would be cool. Have you tried with another dialer or do you not want it?

I have looked at other dialers but none of them have the sip capabilities. I also tried some sip clients like sipdroid - which rang fine, although interestingly simplecsp fails to ring just like the stock dialer. I am thinking it is a bug with our cm9 since system ui sounds also seem to not play.

There is no settings with in settings that allows you to put the ringtone so you might have to do it the way I did it. The way was is you have to download zedge and find the ringtone you want and then download it and then it hit set as and it will ask you what you want to set it as and set it as your ringtone and it'll work

Hmm, I have no problem setting ringtone.
I have made several important discoveries;
The reason the system UI sounds don't work is because the system volume is set to 0 and can't be adjusted in the system settings, but I used AudioManager to turn it up. Now system UI sounds work fine but still no ringtone.
Another discovery is when I set poweramp to not pause for incoming calls, I hear the ringtone! It plays over poweramp, but this is a huge clue to my problem.

Hidden audio settings

I just got my watch on Friday. Today a screen popped up with 1 panel saying "mic" and another saying "speaker" I was wondering if anyone else has had this screen pop up and if they know how to get back into those settings. I also found this On Asus. Com but I can't find it on my watch or in play store does anyone know what happened to it?
were you on a call at the time? when on a call, you will see options for mic and speaker, however these are in reference to the phone, not the watch.
I wonder if the app in that pic is where I found the complete emoji list because I was playing around with the Text all. Maybe that is from a previous firmware and has been since updated and removed because it seems that that's what happened to all the emojis also. Now it makes you draw them and pick from what it thinks you want but I am no artist.

it reminds me of Google together but I like Asus`s idea better a full dedicated app for it that keeps the chat history but you could also send messages instead of just emojis and drawings

You probably turned on the Remote Call Control under the Zenwatch Manager.
