Pause between rings

Hey all. Coming from a BB 6 months ago I still find new things about the Dinc that I love. Now that I'm rooted and running a custom ROM it's even better, but there is 1 thing that is Annoying the crap out of me. I want a professional sounding ring for when I'm those business environments, but this rings like its on steroids. Why is it that when I select the stock ringtone Standard 1, this thing constantly loops when I have an incoming call. I want something that rings like a normal phone (ring..pause..ring..pause..,etc.). Is there anyway to change that? I don't really want to go find an app to do it for me. I remember seeing a thread that you can go into the menu (## and a few numbers) and change the delay of the first ring, but can you do that to space the rings apart or create a pause? Can anyone help? Thanks.

Try this ringtone. It is a old phone sound but has a blank at the end to achieve what you want
You will need to rename it to .mp3 since I changed it to txt just so I could upload it

Perfect!! thanks on the way NilsP!

If you wanted to do this with another ringtone, use Audacity and add some blank space at the end.

That's actually what I used plus Krystal does a nice job also (guitar player).

Request for all ROM makers

I have been using a lot of roms lately.. and loved everyones work over here except one big gripe I have.... I m sure lot of you might agree and disagree with me.. but I just want to throw it out there.
My issue is with boot animation sounds and ringtones.
CAN WE NOT CHANGE THE BOOT ANIMATIONS SOUNDS AND RINGTONES IN EVERY ROM AND KEEP IT STOCK.
and leave it at user selected ringtone and stock boot animations and sounds. And provide a separate .zip for boot sounds and ringtones if anyone wants, instead of giving them nobootanimation sounds.
I have flashed Viper roms couple of times and everytime I end up with these sounds which makes me look weird if the phone dies/rings/shuts down at work with default sounds.
I flashed synergy yesterday and today my phone rang at work and every one just gave me a glance like.."What do they call you....???" (due to the default ringtone)
Just a thought.. if it makes anyones life easier..
Thanks!

You don't like added ringtones, notifications, and alarms that come packaged with apps as well? I can understand the boot sounds, but not extra sounds that help you customize your phone.
And the custom boot animations are kind of the branding you have to deal with for using someone's work you didn't pay for. These developers work hard and most (essentially all) only get paid through donations. Having that boot/shutdown screen with their custom logo or image is their form of advertisement. I've had plenty of friends see my phone while it was rebooting or whatnot and ask what I was running. I've converted a few and brought them to the modding community =).
I guess I could understand where you're coming from if these developers forced us to pay for the product they deliver, but they don't.

In SRF:
Boot sounds: The sweet sound of silence. Ain't it grand?
Boot animations: Yeah, it's our logo... If you don't like it, flash another animation. If we didn't put in some kind of bootanimation.zip, you'd just get... crap. And how often do you reboot your phone, anyway?
Ringtones: The full stock library is there. But the default? It's a phone. Shocking.
If you ask me, a ringing phone sounds more normal than whatever crap Samsung defaults to.

make your own rom. Or customize the one you got... there's a secret sub forum called Themes and Apps.. don't tell anyone else about it, but you might want to check it out before somebody really rips you a new one..
kOnane that was a very classy retort nicely played

seriously, anyone that has a phone at work that doesn't have it on vibrate is an idiot. and that would solve all these issues. its called silent mode, best feature of the phone. maybe you guys are 16 (its a great time, so no offense) but other than that, ringtones and nonsense like that would be the least of my concerns.

These are all things well within the end users control. Just check your ringtone, that's not the developers responsibility. If you want download my midNIGHT ROM and just pull the extras folder out. I ported over the Rhodium ringtones awhile back. There are a ton of zips in there that should work on most ROMs. k0nane is right someone will always complain.......

My only complaint is loud, obnoxious boot sounds, which I havent heard in quite a while... Viper had a pretty crazy one a couple months back. not really a big deal, as I know we can change it, or just use a diff. rom... as far as boot animations, im all for them, and if people want to brand their work, more power to em.

I have a well used option in Startup Manager that dumps startup and shut sown sounds. It absolutely amazes me how many people think that devs should do whatever they demand. Sorry guys, but these are volunteer operations and they do what they want. If you don't like it vote with your feet...

irritating power up noise

When the Galaxy Note powers up, it shows a video and makes some noisy music. how can i suppress it?

I was wondering the same thing last night! Seems kind of ridiculous to have a loud jingle upon start up that's impossible to silence.

Seriously......wow is the phone really that good that you guys need to complain about the sound the phone makes when it starts? I can't beleive how many people complain about small stuff like this......

They are asking for a fix with an issue that is easily understandable...to be honest, you're complaining more than they are lol

Have you tried to put it in silent mode before restarting?

It is a fair complaint, because you can't silence it.
If your GNote decides to crash/reboot during a meeting......
I have to find the post, but if you are rooted, you can delete the ogg file with the startup sound.

For rooted users to stop the startup sound...
\system\etc\
Rename these file(s)
PowerOn.wav
or
1_Power_on.ogg
or both

settings-sound-volume. Set system volume to zero. it does not seem to affect anything else.

That worked great, thanks! I used Root Explorer to rename those two files. And yes, having the phone making noise at inappropriate times is exactly what I wanted to avoid.
Edit, I already renamed the files before trying the system volume. That would be interesting if the boot audio really is the only thing affected by "system" volume.

I have been using that method on my galaxy s for 18 months and never found anything else affected by it. Seems to work the same on my Note.

Thanks, it worked for me too, but instead of root explorer, which you need to pay for, I used ES explorer, free, enabling root access in the config menu.

that's reassuring. When I read about nulling the system volume, I am so sure I'm going to miss some notification.

Never Worked For Me On I717R
The funny thing is that my power on/boot up sound never worked. After I rooted I noticed both the 1_Power_On.ogg (plays sound) & the PowerOn.wav (no sound) in the etc folder. I am sure that the second one overrode the 1st, causing no sound on start up. I just removed the second & renamed the 1st to PowerOn.wav, now I have the sound.

Moto voice response sounds

So I am pretty ecstatic over all with the performance of my Moto X pure, and a little impressed by the moto voice command function. I can access just about everything on the phone by voice alone, except there's one problem. Everytime the phone understands one of my commands, it responds with a very loud and obnoxious sounding "bloing!"
I can even tolerate the robotic voice of the Moto lady, who sounds like my 3rd grade teacher, but the response sound is just too much. Does anybody know what folder it is in so I can nuke it, or is there a way to turn that sound off.? I looked in the media files, and in the notification files, of both the phone and the SD card, looking for a matching sound but did not find it there. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

The response chime is connected to the media volume control. Keeping the media volume down has helped me a bit but it's still no fun. Also, I've noticed that it uses the old Google Now sounds so when I initiate a search it gives a loud "old GNow" confirmation then a more pleasant "new GNow" tone. If I could at very least do away with the double confirm, I'd be happy.

I wonder what would happen if we found the folder containing that sound and nuked the file.
do you know what the actual file name for that sound is?
Anybody here have a better idea?
Thanks

My question is how else would you know the phone is responding to your commands. For example if your phone is across the room.

I don't know, every other function in android seems to have both visual, and audio option.
They could just have a flashing screen,, the problem is, when I want to use Moto X voice, that sound, is way louder, then most of the other confirmation sounds used in speech to text conversion. If you turn the media volume down, the female voice is reduced in volume along with the confirmation sound.
Or they could just have an option, like most of the other audio in android, that allows me to choose a sound.
Which brings me, to my quest. Or question
if it is a regular audio file, or a .ogg or MP3 or MP4, I should be allowed to go to the containing folder, and simply drop in an audio file of the same kind into that folder, right?
Anyway the "bloing" is annoying, has no individual volume control, and makes me look like less than the coolest kid on the block, which is what I so desperately crave, which is why I spent so much money to buy the coolest gear.
Please help my quest for coolness

From previous experience, sometimes these sound files are inside the apk file itself. Really no way to change or get rid of it unless you start decompiling them, remove/add your own file. Samsung used to do it with their screen unlock sounds. Looked forever in folders and found nothing. One day while searching inside the apk, found it. Just a bit of help to maybe help your search

Sounds for Boot, Battery full and low sound

In older android builds the phone would make sounds for fully charged, Low Battery and of course boot or a
Shutdown. I've read other people asking this question in other places and the replies of it's not needed. I respect it may not be needed. But I would really like those things back.
It use to be a snap to make a custom .ogg file and replace those sounds with really cool stuff to spice up the boot and all the other sounds.
Can anyone tell me how to do this or make a custom zip to bring these classic style sounds to our deice?

This is not an answer, but it may give you some idea as you continue your quest.

- Regarding warning for low battery, there is already a built in (Settings>Battery>Battery save mode), where you can schedule when to start from 5% and up, sound will notice you when battery is that low.
- Regarding sound when battery full charged, I can help you with a solution if you like. I found some apps, but did not like them for my own need, so I created a Tasker profile. So, you have to install the app Tasker first. I found a Tasker-profile on the web, who do exactly that you wish, and then I also added a condition that sound should only be on between 07-23 every mon - fri, and sat -sun 00-24. Sound is off between 23-07 mon - fri (not to be disturbed when you sleep at night). You can change this behavior to your own preferences of course. If you want this, I can upload it.

First of all thank you for your reply I might aswell give the apps a try. But there is more to this. I was wanting to see where the .ogg or whatever audio files used were placed or modify the zip with my own custom ones. I use to have my old LG Thrill appear as if it was talking to its owner (me) with a cylon sounding voice. If someone had a zip created to install them properly. All I'd have to do is open the zip replace the audio files with proper name and format to get exactly what I want.
