[Q] Changing the inbuilt button sound - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

By default, the Galaxy S4 plays an extremely tiresome 'water droplet' sound effect whenever you press most buttons. I know it's possible to disable the sound entirely, but is there any way to change it to something else?

you can change the sound file. but you need root access. its (root)/system/media/audio/ui/TW_touch.ogg

Thanks for the response. How do I go about changing it? Must the replacement file have the same '.ogg' extension? Lastly (on a separate note) is there any way to enable haptic feedback for ALL button presses (e.g. when typing or opening apps)? At the moment my phone only buzzes during calls or when I use the back/home keys. Thanks!

[REQ] SMS-Alarm Tool

Hi Guys,
i'm in need of a program wich does the following on recieving a sms with a specified text:
- turn display on, fullscreen flashing red/white
- override all sound settings and play an alarm sound with maximum volume
- stops on pressing buttons or touching the screen
- then opens the message
is there anywhere an application that can do that already? i need it because we got an sms-alarm system at our fire brigade and its really annoying when you have your phone on silent and miss the alarm.

So, simple enough to install this and get it to, say, open a flash file which just plays a loud sound and flashes the screen. You could also make the flash file *be* one big button, so when the screen was pressed the app would close.
You'd just need to knock up a simple flash file yourself.
As for the volume, I'm sure there are plenty of free apps that run from commandline to say, set the volume to max. This could be ran first.
Any good?

the fastest way witching silent on/off

i was wondering if anyone have some tips on this issue
rather than using the volume and switch silent i wish if there's a software that uses the lock screen as a switch a tiny icon above the slide or something
i missed the iphone switch
I have no solid proof of what I am saying, yet I am afraid there is no way to do that, I mean accessing volume control while phone is locked (and I pretty mich would like there was,since proficiently using it as audio player requires that rocker buttons work even when locked, without waking up screen).
There are out there exe utilities that toggle from sound to vibration and vice-versa, but afaik not even S2U2 is able to let you run programs from the lock screen to achieve that.
And once you unlock, instead of clicking a shortcut, it's almost faster to just keep pressed one of the volume buttons to either silnce the phone or restore the ringtone.
I found the volume key works whilst my HD2 was locked via S2U2, unlike standard HD2 lock screen.
Very pleased I don't have to unlock my device first before I can press volume key to silence my phone.
10x guys
in conclusion the fastest way is via the volume button
how about we ask someone to take our idea and implement an icon button on the lockscreen it would be perfect
I find that the volume controls work while the phone is locked if I have a music player open and headphones plugged in.

uhm, strange, maybe it just works with the htc music player? It sure doesn't with mortplayer on vanilla lock screen...
You could use LMT and map a swipe gesture to silent mode.

How do you do that? I have LMT installed but so far only know how to launch apps via the learn gesture.

You can change the registry settings for LMT to point at specific programs or operations also.
I use an app called Tprofiler.
It turns on silent while im at school, and when im done it puts sounds on by its self.
Its all auto! how much faster can things get lol

Yeah, I had a quick look in HKLM\Software and couldn't find where to change settings?
there is a setting somewhere that lets you silence the phone by shaking/moving it - this is inbuilt AFAIK so it should be available in all Roms.
Phone rings while i'm busy, all i do is jiggle my leg (as my phone is always in my pocket) phone silences. No worries, no 3rd party software to slow the phone down

this is already implemented within the phone , while ringing if you moved the phone, automatically the sound will decrease 80 % but to 100 % i doubt about it, but if you know any solution about it would be cool

You are correct. If you actually turn your phone over it also silences it 100%

Volume change beep

Is there anyway to mute the volume change beep heard when using the rocker? Very annoying since i use no lock and use the rocker to unlock the screen.
Not really mute, but yes, you could remove it or replace with another. You must be rooted. What ROM are you using? If you want you could delete these sounds completely or replace the mp3 s with another sound ofyour choosing by using the same names. Look in \system\media\audio\ui
If you have root explorer you can just rename them to .bak just incase you change your mind.
Sent from my sexy assistant. (HTC Incredible running cm7)
I looked in side the ui folder, but I couldn't find the right .ogg file that sounds like the volume rocker. Couldn't it be in another folder?
I remember when I had tasker, I would mute the media volume in order to disable the shutter sound.
Running cm7
The Android system beep doesn't come from an .ogg file. It's probably hardcoded in an executable (just like the system beep of your computer). But which one?

Option to cut off notification sounds

Hi All
I did a few searches throgh this forum but couldn't find the answer I was after. Basically I'm after some way to cut off or override the sound of notifications while the phone is in my pocket. I had thisfeature on my Atrix using MIUI so unsure if it's a feature/option relating to MIUI itself but would very much like the same functionality using the i9505. Does anyone know how I might achieve this?
Thanks in advance

If you're looking to turn off the notification sounds (or change the volume) click one of the buttons for volume and click the gear the the right of the volume bar and then you can change the ringtone , media , notifications and system.
Hi, thanks for the reply, That's not exactly what I'm after.
Basically when you have a notification going off and you drag the notification bar down, it'll cut out the sound. I used to be able to hit the power button when my Atrix was in my pocket and it would do the same thing. I'm just looking to be able to do the same thing with the S4.

[Q] Disable increasing ringtone volume Galaxy S5 Active

This drives me nuts. Damn you Samsung for not leaving it as selectable feature but are forcing us to have it.
OK, so far I've tried these methods:
1. Wanam Xposed, there's an option in Phone section that says Disable increasing call ringer - it doesn't work on my phone, it's checkmarked and doesn't do the job, rebooted a few times with no luck
2. Apps from PlayStore - I've tried HandyPhone and Disable Increasing Ring, didn't like neither.
HandyPhone had that feature OFF by default, to achieve what I wanted I had to turn it on and set start volume and end volume to the same value, say 10. In this case lowering the ring volume from the phone did not work since HandyPhone was always applying same volume setting (10).
Disable Increasing Ring - this didn't work so well, it did the job but not clean cut, it was leaving empty spaces in the status bar between other notifications, etc.
I saw somewhere SecPhone.apk patched but not for Galaxy S5 (Active).
Have I missed another way that can do this?
