[Q]Ringer Volume Beeps Disable? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
Is there anyway of disabling the beeps that sound when i change the volume via the volume rockers? I find them really intrusive and annoying.
I have searched the ogg files in /system/media/audio/ui but they don't appear to be stored there. Does anyone know where they are?
Thanks!

I would be interested in this as well. Is it possible?

Me too! Anyone?

Me 3 anyone?

On same boat...

It seems like Samsung have changed the stock beeps so you can now disable them (this works on KG6 i don't know about others)
However you can't just delete the ogg file or it will cause FC's
If you navigate to /system/media/audio/ui
Rename TW_Volume_control.ogg to TW_Volume_control.ogg.bak
Then add a new silent ogg file in calling it TW_Volume_control.ogg
Then Reboot the phone.
The volume beeps will be no more!
I've uploaded a silent ogg file here. Or you can make your own very easily

Please thank me if this helped

Same here.

If I am not mistaken, I think that only wav works for SMS. mp3 or wma works for incoming calls only
Here are mine if you are looking for some "inspirations"
well if you ever saw the movie eurotrip, you may enjoy this .wav/.mp3 file
enjoy lol
EDIT: I have a .wav for an alert tone, and .mp3 for my ringtone (not this mp3 but something else)...and everything is on my SD card (in the root directory, never tried hiding it in a folder)
EDIT SQUARED: I uploaded another .zip file, it has two mp3 ringtones that i use, my email notification noise, and two other .wav files (the old and new SNCF tone)

[Q] Audible selection sound gone ? uh..what ?

Ok mysteriously I've lost my audible touch sound.
Things I've tried.
Deselect then reselect Audible selection .
Same for touch tones.
Then an old fashion reboot.
Is repairing my phone using Samsung PC Companion my only choice for fixing this issue?
In Astro
/system/media/audio/ui
I see all the sound files. Problem is they're not "sounding" .
If "you" look there and see them, does yours have an "r" at the end of the shaded information line for each sound file ?
In 2.1, audible selection sound is considered by the system as multimedia sound.
Play a video or a song and use the volume keys to increase the sound.
Then, you should be able to hear audible selection sound too.
Nope.. Didn't work.
If I go thru Astro, I can click the sounds and hear them one at a time.
FIxed with help from RoseRed on AndroidForums
Used this app, Discovered system volume was all the way down but yet I was still getting dialer tones ??

[Q] Problem with Notification Sounds

Hello all. I am using a Huawei U8500 with CyanogenMod 7 (2.3.5-Slax-SP10-3) and have been having an issue with ringtones/notification/UI/unlock (a.k.a. all) sounds. Before, none of the sounds (except Music) would work on CM7, but I figured that out. It was the sound profiles that were overriding all my other attempts at resetting volumes.
However, while my sounds were disabled, I used the Music app to set a song as a ringtone to see if the sounds would work again. Now that I have solved the issue with the volumes, every single one of the sounds (again, except music) are replaced with the song that I set as my ringtone. When I go to Settings>Sound and try and select a new sound, all the previews of the sounds are even of that song. I checked the .ogg files in /system/media/audio and they still play the correct sound.
Now for the questions:
-Has anyone encountered this issue or something similar?
-If not, how does Android handle setting a song as a ringtone?
-Does it put the .mp3 file somewhere on the root phone storage? (If so, I could just delete or rename it and hope for the best.)
-Or, does it simply reference the .mp3 file on the SD? (If so, I could rename it so that it wouldn't be able to fetch it.)
Thank you very much for any help!

You can put it almost anywhere on internal sdcard, but watch out trying to put it on external_sd.
i.e. /mnt/sdcard/Ringtones works fine. The problem I can see is trying to read it under /mnt/sdcard/external_sd (which I would prefer)... it fails to read it on external_sd, so only internal sdcard will work for some reason.
Oddly, it reads my notifications fine on external_sd, and they are in /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/Notifications, nothing fancy.
Very odd issue this...
UPDATE: I realized I had a .nomedia file in my dir on the SD. That allows the media scanner to ignore that dir, if you have a reason to do so. (which I did and had totally forgotten about!) I removed the file and the media scanner properly sees my ringers in any dir I put them on external_sd now.
D'Oh!

I have plenty of ringtones in /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/Ringtones and I can pick them just fine in both GB and ICS. Mine are both MP3 and M4A format.
I am not sure what is causing your problem, but I would double check your file sizes and song lengths. I always crop mine to 30sec or less. Most times my call goes to voicemail before the ringtone ends.
I really like the song, but it really doesn't work well as a ringtone. It starts way to low and is way too long; gets cut off when the phone stops ringing.
The ringtone has to get my attention right away. This one's lulling me to sleep.
Thanks for the song, though.

The constant bass line (for lack of a better word) is essentially the ringtone for me, the rest of the song is just a warm velvety wrapper around it. I always have my phone next to me, so I prefer the more subtle tones rather than the ones that jerk you out of a deep sleep.
The song is definitely cool though - thanks to OP.
