[Q] how to stop wireless charging sound - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

how do i stop the sound when placing my nexus 4 on my wireless charger? this sound was added in 4.2.2. i dont want to turn down other sounds, only the wireless charging one.
i removed the speaker from my LG charging mat to make it silent in the bedroom.
im not rooted and using stock rom.

Is it played from the phone? You could root and delete it from System-Media

it is either root and remove it, or put phone to silent.
it's like the camera, it will make noise unless you fix it with root or a custom rom

You can remove/rename the file WirelessChargingStarted.ogg from the /system/media/audio/ui folder to get rid of the sound.

Just FYI, removing the file won't actually stop the noise - it plays the default notification instead. What I had to do was overwrite it with a silent OGG file (there's one on Wikimedia Commons). And remember to set the file permissions correctly (it needs to be readable by anyone).

Low Mic Volume Level fix

Is anyone else having a low volume problem on there mic level input? A lot of people tell me they cant hear me on the phone and that my voice is hard to hear. I have found the fix if this happens to you.
I'm not sure if it is the files they are using in the roms or the Loud Volume Hack I tried to use but I was able to get a hold of these files and it fixed it for me. I'm now heard loud and clear.
Delete the old files found on System/etc and replace it with the 3 files found in the zip below. You will need to reboot for the changes to take place...
Is this reversable via nandroid restore? Just checking.

Of course it is. Any changes in the filesystem can be restored via nandroid.
Right on. I tried to do this with Astro File Manager and was unable to delete those system files.
Did you do this through adb? Or maybe a different file manager?
I'm asking because I too have the mic issue with CM6 and would like to test this out.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks!
I used root explorer. Make sure you select read/write and not read only. Delete the files and replace them with the ones on the zip. If you want to reverse the changes you can either nandroid back or pull the files out of the CM6 zip and replace them.
Everyone can hear me much better now which is so much better than having to repeat myself so many Damn times.
I'm supprised I am one of only ones that had this issue...
I did. But I have louder volume hack to fix it. Lol

The louder volume hack has a stock button to return it back

Doesn't LVH just adjust your speaker levels? And not your mic levels?
Yes LVH is just for speaker and bluetooth volume. I've found no mic adjustments.

The LVH is the reason why it screws up your mic level. It wasnt made for the hero and you will notice putting it back to stock doesnt actually return the correct files for our device. Keep using it and you will see your mic level will be low.
Actually, mic level is controlled by in call volume. If you use the in call volume on lvh, and then turn down your volume because it is too loud in the ear piece, that's when you lose mic level. And lvh has a backup/restore optionif you don't trust the stock button, but the stock button has worked fine for me. All lvh does is replace the files that are basically the graphic equalizer settings.

Yes it is true that the call volume effects the mic level. I have tried this numerous times. The stock profile was made for the Deisre or some other phone I forgot which. Therefore it doesnt work perfect for the Hero. I have used my backed up profile and it still didnt work right for me either. I ran accross this info on the forum where the guy made the LVH app. Thats where I was able to get too understand why it wont work correctly on our phone.
Dont believe me play your music at its loudest through the stock settings (untouched by LVH), then add LVH and listen to it (much louder). Now try to go back to stock and tell me there isnt a difference between the way it sounds compared to the files I've attached. The Mic level will go up as well. Believe me I have done this 10 times or so to make sure I wasnt crazy.
Its either that or the sound profile (equilizer files) that came with CM6 isnt as good as the ones I used.
I have messed with this a bunch of times and got info that the sound profile included in the "stock" setting wasnt made for our phone.
This was my experience...Maybe yours was different.
I just got a Motorola S9-HD BT headset and it at its loudest is on par with a normal set of headphones at 75%, would the LVH work for this or will it just screw up the other sound settings.
You can adjust bluetooth only with LVH
I'm confused
I've had issues with the mic being to low on CM6. Should I be looking this fix or LVH to correct it?

Just do what I said in the first post and you will have a much improved Mic level. LVH doesnt have a setting for the MIC.
I'll check it out. Thanks!
Thank you for this!! My g/f was always complaining that I was difficult to hear and I thought she might have been talking about the call quality.. This fix helped quite a bit and I don't hear any more complaining, just a much more quality conversation instead of, "what?" all the time.

Battery Charging Sound

Here's an App from the Play Store that gives you a notification when you plug your charger in.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.oderik.plugsound
There is an audio file in system/media/audio named Charger_Connection.ogg... but I don't see anywhere in settings on how to enable that sound...
anybody found anything?
I really want this too. The files are there but they just don't work. Does anyone know how to get this working?
No solution for this, right guys? Has to be a value in the Storage DB....
I would love to have a wireless charging sound
Found this App to help with the charging sound. Just copied Charger_Connection.ogg to my Notifications folder and now I hear the sound. There is a slight delay from when the phone is plugged in and when the sound actually plays. Better than nothing I guess.

Thanks so much for this app! It's exactly what I have been looking for! Why did you move the charger _ connection. Ogg file instead of just using the app? Where did you even find the file? Thanks again
The app uses whatever files you have in the Notifications folder, your stock notification sounds, so the stock charging sound wouldn't be included. The file is located in System/Media/Audio/UI. You do need a Root File Explorer App to get to it.

Or just download AUTOMATEIT and enjoy the meaning of having Android.

Plug Sound is Free and Ad-Free. Plug Sound is very minimal as well, a few hundred kilobytes. AutomateIt has ads and pop ups and the pro version costs money. You're better off downloading Plug Sound if all you need is a sound when you plug your charger in.

Automateit has no pop ups or ads even though it says so in Play Store.
Point being, it got what TS want + tons of more helpful stuff

I have a program called Llama, and I was able to create a voice notification that tells me when my phone is plugged in and charging. I then continued to have a voice notify me when my battery has reached 100% charge, 50% charge, and critical at 10%. Check out Llama, and view videos on YouTube for tutorials.

Media volume keeps resetting?

Everytime i use podkicker (podcast player app) and plug an aux cable into my car i increase the volume to the max. When i exit the app and disconnect the cable the vol resets back. Am i missing something simple here? Does this happen to anybody else? I have never owned a phone where it does not remember the media vol setting?
So nobody else has noticed this, or am i crazy lol?

Happens to me everytime I insert headphones, the volume is around 25% resets....assuming that this is "safe media volume" in settings - sounds, but our Note 3 doesn't have a setting like that
Totaly normal feature on the phone... volume resets on plug and unplug of headphones... volume of device speaker changes when bluetooth is enabled so it doesn't come blasting out of your bluetooth device also.

I remedied it by using Tasker to set the volume after launching my music app after headphones are plugged in.

[Q] Volume control

When playing music or listening to an audio books, I set the volume to full but after a minute or so it drops to about 75%. I've looked around without any luck.
Perhaps somebody can directed me to the right place to be a lock on the volume.
Thanks

Maybe that Adapt Sound thing is enabled and configuring your volume automatically. Did you check this? If it's enabled, disable it.
Settings>Sound>Adapt Sound
No luck with adapt sound
Sounds like something to do with the hearing damage warning.Try to find a way to reset it.Some countries have specific laws about it so your CSC may have something to do with it.
Good luck.
thanks, Fellas
The culprit was an app called VOLUME LOCK, which worked fine on an Note 1 but was either installed incorrectly or doesn't work properly on an N3. It's gone and I have no more troubles with the volume on my device.
Thanks again for your input.

[Q] Media Volume Levels With Headphones

Hi Guys
Just moved from a HTC One x to the S5 and there is one thing bugging me at the min.
When i plug in my headphones and watch a video the volume level is set about 50% so i increase the level to 75% watch my videos, when i have finished and removed the headphones, the next time i put the headphones in the volume jumps back to 50%
i have tried installing 3rd party apps and i can see that when i select my volume level and then unplug and reinsert my headphones, the level drops back to the default 50%
has anyone else had this problem, im hoping there is a fix somewhere in the options that allows me to set the default
I dont want to root my phone just yet (i know all about teh benefits of rooting etc having done it on my other phones) so anything that rules out anything to do with root
other than that im loving the new phone at the min,
Thanks for looking
Give Diceplayer a try, for me it remembers the play level and the volume can go up to 400%. (I did disable all stock music EQ's and apps that I could without Root.)

Hi Thanks for your reply
I just tried dice player and it just kept reverting the volume back down to about 50%
Thanks for your suggestion though

Sounds almost like it's a setting somewhere. Maybe Adapt Sound or some other averaging setting? I killed that, so I can't check.
