Is there a way to keep the startup sound while having system sounds still disabled? Normally, when you turn off system sound, which is all the little clicks when you push buttons, it turns off the startup and shutdown sounds as well.
Just curious why u want to keep those annoying tmobile sound...
You could theorhetically use Taker to keep the volume on high so it will play the sounds and then set it to instantly mute the phone. That would work, but if you don't already have Tasker I don't see an easy way to do it.
I don't always complain, but when I do, I #BlameWes

I don't have the default sounds, I'm using the bionix rom, which has its own startup and shutdown sounds

Great idea, thanks
There is setting disabling the touch screen sound and dial pad sound, untick those is already what u want, isn't it?
Howdy guys!
I hope you have all recovered from the crazies of last night!
I have a bug to report for CM7. I use the lockscreen music controls which can be activated from the Cyanogenmod settings>Lockscreen>Widget options.
So here is what's wrong. Sometimes it works all fine but more often than not, what happens is that the music controls (back, play/pause, skip) just don't work. I press the next button a few times, but nothing happens. I unlock the phone and go to the next song manually in the app. But then after sometime the songs skip a few times. Looks like there is a huge delay between pressing the button and it doing what I ask for...
Same with play/pause and back buttons. By the way, I use the Google music BUT this happens with the stock music app as well.
Please help. I am a music addict. I need my fix! (pun purely coincidental)

I used TiBu to freeze the default player, and I use PowerAMP Pro. It just works, and the PowerAMP slide lock screen controls work perfect. Just me, though.
Ciao!
I just flashed this rom last night and while walking to work today, I gave the music player a try and didn't have any issues with skipping, both with the lock screen and long holding the volume button.
+1 on PowerAmp. That app rocks! It was one of the first apps I purchased. TiBu was the next one.
Have you tried the setting to skip songs with the volume up/down buttons? I've been using that feature so I dont even have to turn the phone on to use the screen.
I would use other music apps but I also use Google Music and other music apps dont have the ability to stream from there yet.
EDIT: Or try gestures to skip, play, pause, etc.

+1 I also use power amp. No issues here.
I think I know what the problem is. I've had this same issue too in the past. If you press the play button on the widget, the lock screen doesn't show up so in order for it to work normally you would need to enter into the app first to work which defeats the purpose of the widget. I am using cubed music player.
Not sure how to fix your problem, but here might be an alternative for you!!
While the screen is "off"(and possibly at the lock screen), you can HOLD the volume UP button to go to the next track, and HOLD the volume DOWN to go back a track.
This might seem like a silly question...
However:
On my S1, when I hit silent or vibration only, when an email arrives, the S1 doesn't make a noise (or vibrates) ie. the notification (like Haze) doesn't play.
yet on the S3, no matter what I do, be it on silent, vibration or what not, the sound STILL plays.
Am I becoming crazy or did samsung just overlook an important bug?

Did you check all the volume levels?
(Hit the button on the right side when you turn up / down the volume),
I've noticed that (At least in TouchWiz), the media and notification volumes don't always get lowered when you put it on silent.
Also check "System Settings -> Sound" to see if there's anything that would indicate that it should play a sound while in silent mode.
Confirmed, put phone on silent. Started a video, there was sound.
This sucks.

Hit the settings button that pops on the screen on the right of the volume level shown when you press the volume buttons.. change your media and notification levels from there...

Okay, but if you put the phone on silent it should be SILENT

that's not the point of the button that you press for silent.
Or else what would be the point of the button, when i have to manually do it myself?
I'll log this and get back to you.
I don't know about you, but that seems normal, coming from ICS from SGS2 and iPhone, silent means alerts/notifications is off. But when you play Music or Youtube or Videos will play the sound, if you're actively trying to play media then it makes sense to play sound.
Android has always (except for a brief spell) had separate volumes for ringers, media and alarms

that is normal.
But when a SMS is received, on an s2, and you have it on SILENT what happens?
Does the notification sound still play?
As on the S1...and pretty much any phone dating back to the 3310, it remains SILENT
I've noticed this issue also. Silent mode doesn't mute the notification volume as it should. The temporary work around is to set volume manually, but it seems it is a bug in the Touchwiz UX framework.
I for one can't wait until I get either stock ICS or CM9 (maybe JB or CM10 soon if we're lucky, the source was recently released). These little issues are resolved very quickly in a community developed ROM (less than a week in most cases). There is usually a wait of months for OTA updates.
I just pray that AdamOutler can crack the verizon GS3 bootloader to allow easy customization. The International, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint users have unlocked/unsigned bootloaders.
Grab audio manager on google play
Then you set the mute profile for all the sounds you want (ringtone, notifications, player,...) and then you add the widget to your homescreen
When you want to mute, just "click" on the widget, got to the profile tab and then select your mute profile

I think it got fixed actually - magically or via OTA

What firmware would that be, out of curiosity? I'm running XXLFB based ROM and it's still not fixed, been driving me insane.
Not sure this helps if you've already got it fixed but I've been using RealSilent ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.geekherd.realsilent ) as recommended by Jerry over at AC. Pretty handy, but not sure how it works with the stock silent toggle in the notification pull down.
It does however work perfectly with CM9.

I'm on lfb, but on darkyrom v2.
I think lfb did it for me.

Isn't that app for the media volume, not notification?
I thought CM9 came with an option to link notification volume with ringer, so that notification on silent is no longer an issue purely because of that.
Maybe I will try a LG1 based ROM... can't believe Samsung overlooked something so basic.

I believe you're right. Sorry, disregard my post.

After trying about 5 different apps including volume +, finally found a straightforward workaround, use the app called simple sound profile widget:
I can't post links yet since I'm under 10 posts, so search for it on Google play.
Really the issue is that Samsung unlinked notification and ringer, but left vibrate and silent toggle alone, so all it does is mute the ringer and not the notification. You'll notice on silent or vibrate, go to system volume and ringer volume still stays the same but shows a mute icon, while notifications volume does not. To fix this you need an app that, when toggling profiles, does not assume ringer and notifications are linked, and also TURNS DOWN VOLUME TO ZERO for both notification and ringer, as I don't believe mute for notifications is working. Simple sound does exactly that, the only thing missing is a true toggle widget since you have to click the widget then select a profile, but it fixed the notification issue properly so I'm not complaining.

Maybe your custom ROM fixed it, I'm on Omega 8.1 which is base on LFB, issue is still there.
Do you know any way to do this?
It interrupts the music so I have to toggle the sound profile every time I'll start listening to music or watching a video (about 3 times a day). I'm looking for a way to automate it.
i just goto my quick settings bar and click the silent mode button. music continues to play but phone wont ring. just vibrate.
I'm specifically looking into a way to make that *automatic*!
And this toggle isn't available in my EVO 3D, I think Gingerbread had it but stock ICS update removes a lot of these toggles that used to be in quick settings. I'm even experimenting a notification bar toggles app from the market..
You could use tasker to set this up.

I was thinking this too. When headphones plug in, switch to silent, turn down media volume, etc.

Hi all
im still an Android newbie so apologies if this has been asked before. I did search the forum before posting and got some older hits but I’ve not been able to fix my issue.
I have a P6 non rooted and use Spotify. I’d like to see the basic controls on my Lock Screen. Is this possible?
The only thing I can think of is Notifications. Do you allow Spotify to show Notifications and do you allow Notifications to be shown on your lock screen?
Hi there. I believe I have all of the settings correct to allow Spotify, yes.
Im Stumped
Hold on a moment. I set my screen to be off.
Pressed the power button whilst music was playing. The lock screen lights up and hey presto. I have Spotify controls.
So the problem is related to the always on screen when on standby.
