Whenever I get a call, the ring is extremely quiet for the first 2 seconds and then suddenly gets much louder to where it should be. The same mp3 file worked fine with my Incredible, and it does the same thing with the default rings. I tried looking through all of the menus looking for a setting that would be causing this - and even turned vibrating off in case it was a weird power demand issue. It always happens both when the screen is on and unlocked and when it's locked and off. Anyone else having this happen?
Good to know I'm not the only one! I haven't figured it out either.

Found a thread on a GS3 forums with the problem and someone said Escalating Ring could fix it, but it didn't for me. The call simulation in the app worked, but when I called my phone it did what it always does
Where did you find escalating ring? I don't see an option.

Sorry, should have said it's an app.
I found this thread. Do we have clockwork recovery and all? This patch might work and if not I assume it won't be hard for someone to do something similar for our phones. I can't believe Samsung wouldn't make this an option. I mean, it couldn't take more than 5 minutes for one of their programmers to do that.

No problem. And no recovery yet. Good find though. Maybe it will work if we get a recovery

I found a fix! I searched 'samsung ring" in the play store out of desperation and found the app "Disable Increasing Ring". It's free and meant for Samsung and LG phones that do this. It will leave a notification in your status bar while working, but you can hold down on it and click "App Info" and then uncheck "Show Notifications".
Awesome! Thanks. Downloading now.

Ok so ive someone else post about this before just canteen remember if it was on another forums or not.
Ok so earlier today i was messaging someone and i was trying to get out the message screen but my phone was taking too long or i was just impatient but anyway i kept hitting the home button then i hit the back button and all of a sudden i heard a shutter sound. Sooooo i went into my gallery and there it was a seperate folder just for "screenshots" and mind you i do have the shoot me app and the folder for that is "shoot me". Has anyone else ever experienced this? I thought it was so cool that there is/was a built in screenshot but just wish i knew how to do it again i was so excited!!

I posted this same question in the axura beauty thread. I thought it was a special addition to the axura rom. I found out that its not a rom special but its actually an android feature, only problem I haven't got an actual answer on how to access this feature nor do I know what to look for. I have googled this several times and all I get are results telling me about drocap or shootme and how to use the ddms in order to screenshot without root.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I know for a fact how to do this. I don't think you can force a screenshot with any soft touch keys but you'll notice the screenshot goes off when you're exiting an app/browser and the system freezes up briefly and when you try to hit home on the frozen screen it takes the screenshot. It's happened to me on a few occasions and I distinctly told myself to remember what was happening when the screenshot goes off and turns out it always goes off when my screen is frozen and I hit my home key, while thinking my back button wasn't registered and in fact, was registered and I just got impatient and hit my home button.
I've got a feeling it's a bug log kind of thing. Every post I've seen about it mentions that the phone locked up, and the user pressed buttons rapidly. Sure, we can take Screenshots! You have to have a crashing app to do it though.
This topic has been covered soooo many times not only here on XDA but google.

If you have a vibrant running stock froyo.ka6 you can try this screen capture app from the market:

Hmmmm it seems like StevenJCarney might be correct. Like he said it seems like it happens when peoples phones lock up & it could be a bug.
Hope it isnt a bug & someone is able to figure it out.
Same exact thing here. It really sucks an app has to crash to use it.

If you have a rooted phone you can just use an app called screenshot which works perfectly. And it's free.

There is an extremely annoying sound/notification that plays sometimes when I unlock the lock screen. I've looked in the settings and can not seem to find anything to turn this off. Anyone point me in the right direction here?

Yep, I've tried turning it on and restarting the phone. Then turning it back off and restarting. Also did those steps and pulled the battery. Got frustrated and just reset the phone and still no change. It's weird too because if I simply flick to unlock the screen it doesn't play the sound as often. If I take my time and slide the unlock screen and slowly release the touch then it almost always makes the sound.
Guess I can just live with it till I can through another ROM on it. Probably just an isolated issue within my Sense.

Sorry to bump this up but it's seriously annoying and I'd rather not take the phone in for exchange.
Has anyone else had this issue or anything even remotely like it? Any other suggestions, etc? I appreciate any help offerings in advance.
The only help I can offer is disabling the Lockscreen all together. At least until we get full root and you can just flash a ROM or figure out what the problem is. Screen Mode Widget (free in the market) will do that
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Has anyone figured this out? It's extremely annoying. It happens every time I unlock the phone.
The lock screen sound setting someone else mentioned in this thread is an additional little beep that gets added on if you have the sound option checked. This noise is completely different and plays regardless of whether or not you have the option checked, or whether or not you have a lockscreen pattern.

over six months since your OP and you still haven't fixed this?
have you rooted? tried different ROMs? If your going to bump this topic at least update everyone on what you've tried.
Have you tried to delete the lock sound sound from system/media?

This is the only thread I can find about this, so I'll revive it here.
I have car mode off
All Accessibility features off (except for my Pebble notifications), in the Talkback Accessibility, I unchecked everything (just in case) even though it's off.
Under Text-to-speech output, if I choose the 'very slow' speech rate, I can confirm that the emails are IN FACT spoken more slowly.
How do I stop this text-to-speech from happening? I can't find a visual impair setting anywhere.
Edit: I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT.
Even having Pebble on Accessibility notifications (for some reason) enables TTS features, no matter what you disable. This has been realized for other Accessibility options in Touchwiz before, so for anyone having this issue, here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36228563&postcount=9
Hopefully it's fixed in future software updates!
I would love this feature... if I could get it to work. Voice commands are definitely enabled, as I can command it to "stop" but it won't register "snooze". Any advice? I've tried altering my cadence, no luck.
That would defeat the purpose of getting up and turning it off.
You are really supoose to out the alarm clock far away from you so when it rings, you have to get up to turn it off.

I don't know how to reply without sounding snarky, but that wasn't very helpful. I asked about a function of my phone not working, not life advice.
For the record though, I use math problems on alarm clock extreme for waking up every morning, and the stock clock for setting various other alarms.

Same problem here. I THOUGHT somewhere along the line that I saw a check box for "Allow snooze command", but I can't find it again.
HAHA! There's so many menus...
OK. I have the same problem. Only "stop" would work.
I just went in and turned on snooze in the alarm, click "More", and it's in there. Thanks for the reminder!
Maybe that's the fix. OP, was yours on already?

If I'm not mistaken, but you could have something turned on under accessibility menu.

I actually just posted a thread similar to this. I found out you can turn it off but you have to turn off voice control as well. The thing is I like to sometime answer calls with voice control because my hands are busy or in the shower or whatever...
With my previous phones(S4, Note 2), I could turn the caller ID voice prompt off independently and still have the voice control feature. But with the S5, it's both or nothing. I'm hoping I missed something but I've looked and looked...
But if you don't need both features, you can turn both off together but not one or the other(call settings > answering and ending calls > voice control).
