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

My family's plan is about to expire, and I've been looking at the phones. I've wanted a smart phone for quite some time, and the Shadow looks promising. I've never even played with a Windows Mobile phone, so some of my questions might be really newbish.
-Can you have a signature on your text messages?
-Is there a way to delete all your messages (Inbox, Sent, Outbox, Drafts) simultaneously?
-How loud are the headphones (I've already read that the speakerphone is not too loud)
-Can you zoom into images?
If I think of more questions I will ask, but that's all for now. Thanks for looking.
1) I'm pretty sure you can. I know you can do it on the Dash, and the Dash and the shadow both run WinMo.
2) Yes..?
3) Speakerphone is loud. Headphones are okay. It's fine for calls, but could be louder for music. You can enhance the sound by using a program SRSWOWHD.
4) zoom into pages? Like in a web browser?
It depends, on the browser of course. With regular old PIE (Pocket Internet Explorer) you cannot, however you can install other browsers such as Skyfire or Opera Mini.
Not to sound rude, but it seems like Windows Mobile might be too much for you to handle

No, I'm a certified PC tech, I know a bunch about technology, just never played with a smart phone. I plan on installing Opera Mini, since I use that on my LG Shine Candybar (ME770), and it's amazing. What I meant by images is pictures, cause most LG phones don't have that ability, which sucks. Also, about the messages, on my Shine you have to go to the Inbox, then Options, Delete All, then Go to Sent, Options, Delete All, and so on.
Is it possible to delete ALL my messages at ONCE?
is there any way you can get t9 on there with the dialer keys insted of that quick type?

1)you can save a signature on texts.
2)you can delete all messages simultaneously, though if you let them pile up, it can literally take hours.
3)the headphones are ok, but there are others you can get for cheap that are better. I use motorola s9 stereo bluetooth headphones, they sound great and they only cost like $30 bucks on amazon. The speakerphone is so-so, there is a registry edit to make it louder though I think.
4) I think you can only zoom in on multi-shot mode when using the camera, but if you mean when looking at photos, yeah you can, as long as the original size is larger than the screen size.
Is there a way to stop the "fade in" in the beginning of the ringtone. I do not like it's implementation. It is kind of too fast and the effect is annoying. I see no option for this anywhere.
Seeking how to stop the increasing ringtone too
I also have the same problem (actually not a problem, just dun want it)
I find all the setting in phone but no way out
any suggest?
If you set an mp3 as the ring tone, does it still do it, I don't think mine does :/
yes, I edit a mp3 in PC and copy in i9000 then set as ring-tone, I still behave the same, sad.......
have the same problem
it was on my omnia i900 too. The modding community managed to tweak it away, so its only a matter of time before you can get a small tweak to turn it off.
But I believe that Samsung made this a feature (i read it somewhere long ago) in that sometimes people have just finished a call and the phone is still next to the ear, they might receive another call (with the phone still next to their ear), with the fade in feature, the ringtone wont blast into the persons ear which can cause damage, instead it starts off low volume and then increases, allowing time for the phone to move away from the ear.
hope that made sense
i like it how it is, what is so bad about the volume up per ring?
at most after the 4th ring it goes to voice mail, it doesn't get that annoying
its not really a problem indeed, but I will notice a call when I at street after the ring-tone finish fade-ing, it may be the 2tnd or 3th ring of the person who call in, after I pick the phone out of my bag and looking the information who call in, it may be the 4th or 5th ring then that person may think it is no body to answer or the system make it goes to voicemail............I miss the call...........

Like most things it's called choice. I prefer no increasing ring as well.
I'd like this gone too! The fading ringtone is irritating
This also is a problem to me.
I don't understand why Samsung doesn't make this an option for us to turn the feature on or off, not to mention configurable fade-in time.
The problem is here since, I don't know, i900, perhaps?
I would also like to see this disabled. Hopefully someone will find out how to do it soon!!
Sorry to bump this thread, but I'd really like this problem solved also. Obviously there's no clear option to change this, however does anyone know where we can start looking? (ie. certain config files or similar for rooted users.)
There's still no solution?
any update on this?
have you tried 3rd party ring tones apps
those have its own way of playing sounds when a calls comes in, some replaces the stock features.
try ring extend and ringo plus and many many more
android market is full of it

Thanks AllGamer, but I've tried many apps including Rings Extended, Ringo Lite and Zedge, but they just replace the ringtone picker. No matter which app I use, I always get increasing volume for incoming calls.
P.S.: I noticed something funny: I selected a ringtone from DoubleTwist playlist using Rings Extended. When I got an incoming call, I listened to a "hidden ringtone" which is similar to the digital phone ringtone. Probably Rings Extended failed to pick a mp3 from DoubleTwist and my phone used a "fallback ringtone" (such as the Nokia Tune when you remove an sd card with your ringtone). I think it's called "832" but I can't find it anywhere!
Sigh the increasing ringer is pretty lame.
Should be optional.
still no fix huh...

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).
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......

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...

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.

This is a file from a viperaudio sound mod, and I'm having issues with calls (people on the other line hear an echo).
I already asked in the thread, and contacted the dev, but I didn't get any answer.
There's a way to solve this issue by deleting the file, but it harms the audio quality.
That's why I'm wondering if there is any way to edit this file?
Check second post
Actually, I've made some new discoveries about this issue.
The libaudcal.so file is present on our devices in vendor/lib.
If this file is deleted, then it has the same effect as copying it from another device (installing the one from the old viper sound mod).
That means - incredible huge bass on speakers, but issue in calls, the other person on the call hears an echo, and the in call volume is stuck at a constant low value.
Now, what's interesting is that this issue is NOT present when making calls via viber, facebook messenger etc. apps.
I've tried downloading different dialers, and using different rom versions, but no difference.
It seems to me that there are filters included in this file to purposely cutoff low frequencies, and that calls are broken when the original file isn't used.
I hate to give up, so please if anyone has ideas on how this could be resolved, I'd appreciate it.
