[Q] Ringtone starts low then increases. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry for this noob question, tried searching but couldn't find any similar posts. When i receive a call the ringtone starts in a low volume, then suddenly goes to maximum, is there a setting to remove this please? Iam not using any modified ringtones iam using the stock one.
Thanks for any help....

Sorry, that's the default Samsung behaviour in ringtones
I think you can change it, via root.
That is done by Samsung, for making your life easier. The volume starts low because in a meeting for example where you have forgotten to put your phone on mute, if it rings...it won't annoy or disturbe other people!
In other words, it happens for you to have a few seconds to silence it, before others hear it!

Mine does the same as what the OP is saying. But we are talking under 1 second before it goes from quiet to full in one jump. Surely that cant be deliberately programmed by Samsung?

Thanks for the replies how can it be changed via root? What do you have to do?

You can go and check out the thread in the themes and apps section. Link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729717

Thanks for the link, i would rather leave it as it is for now, i just thought there was a setting which would remove this.

[Q] UnNamed ROM issue

I apologize for starting a thread, but I don't have enough posts to reply in the developers forum.
I'm using UnNamed 2.1.1
my notification sound appears to be stuck on "whistle" despite what I set it to.
I set my notification ringtone to "Aldebaran" and "Antares" but no dice.
Restarting the phone didn't help.
I haven't heard the phone ringtone yet so I can't speak to that.
Anyone know a work around for this?

Could be a bad flash or you could boot into recovery and fix permissions or wipe cache. Just some suggestions but I am no expert. Also I noticed that if you want to change the sms ringtone, you have to do from the settings menu inside of the messaging app and not the actual sound settings menu.

Ugh, no idea how much of a jerk I feel like right now.
I could have sworn you set it through the sounds menu.
I guess this is why they don't let people with low post numbers reply in the developer's forums >_<
Sorry everyone.

It is confusing! I don't know why they do it this way!?! One would logically think when you are setting the "notification" ringtone; it is for text messages!
So don't feel bad.
No worries dude I was mortified they used a ringtone that terrible and kind of hid the settings.

[Q] How to turn off "voice notification" of new emails in Saurom VII?

Hi guys:
Since I am quite new to here with less posts, I can not post this question to the development forum yet. But I hope someone can help me on the Rom modifications.
The AT&T Note is my first Android device. I like it and rooted and flshed with the modified Saurom VIIa already. But I just could not find a way to ture off the voice alarm on new email arrival.
In stock rom, I only hear a pin drop sound notification of new emails, which is perfect. However, in the Saurom, I now get a female voice alter "one new email" which is annoying when it is quiet or during a meeting. I search almost everywhere on my note and just could not find a way to turn it off. Did I miss anything or is this a "built-in" feature for the Saurom?
Again, I am sorry to post the question here, since I could not potst in the development forum yet. Thanks a lot for your help!
Turn off driving mode in settings.

I had the same problem if you're talking about a sound notification of a new email, only mine was set to a loud and irritating siren noise.
You have to open up the email app and go to menu -> settings and there is a notification section where you can disable or change the tone.

Thanks for the reply. But I was talking talking about "sound" notice, which is fine and can be turn off. I was talking about the "voice" notification, which tells you (in a female voice) "one new email". I can't turn the lady off. Not sure where and how to get rid of it

Where is driving mode? I could not find it in settings......
Sorry this is my first Android device, and not very familiar with the settings yet......
Do these steps:
Settings
Voice input and output
Text to speech settings
Uncheck driving mode
That should take care of it!

Volume for event restricted?

Hi, I hope this isn't too much of stupid question but I had hard time understanding what this notice meant? It pops up when I turn the voice command for apps.
I really can't notice any difference, I still get all the sound from events.

[Q&A] Short Notification Tone?

Does any one use custom notifcations for their phone and notice that it cuts short? I have the "Cloud" sound from the Galaxy S 2 but I notice it doesn't play the sound completely. I also have the "Gamma" sound from sense and the phone doesn't completely play that either. When I play either of the sounds from the Sound Player app it plays completely but when I receive a new text it cuts the sound short.
i'm having this same issue
Has anyone else at least noticed this? This is very annoying :\
Same issue, my custom notification ringtone would cut off. I posted it on another thread. The only fix is using zedge for now which was recommended by another user.
***The zedge experiment didnt work. Notification ringtones started to cut off. :/
Ok now it's working again. Extremely confused!

Has anyone tried deleting the threads? Cause I noticed mine doing this too I have the Canadian version but I noticed it only does it for the people I text a lot but with other people it doesn't do this. Let me know if that helps? Maybe using a different launcher with a texting app would be better

Hey! I think you're on to something. I sent myself a text from my Google voice number and it played the full sound clip. I had my friend text me (I have 200 messages in that thread) and it cut the sound short when I got the text. I wonder what would cause that though...
Same problem here.

Sound profiles and ics

Before the ota I used volume ace for managing my profiles. I'm on call.moat nights and I am able to just have it ring, and everything else is silenced. I have tried quick profiles, toggle profiles, profiles etc. Everyone I am having the same issue. I set a profile and after an incoming call.comes in, the profile goes back to something else and all my notifications are audible again. Frustrating at 3 am when I get an email from sams club and it wakes me up, thinking its a call for work.
So my question, does anyone know of a profile app that I can set specific profiles to have certain things ring and others vibrate or be silent? It was possible with volume ace and gingerbread.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, in ICS, Ringer and Notifications are linked together.
They are unlinked on CyanogenMod9, but not on any Sense ROMs.
The easiest workaround is to set the notification sound to be a silent mp3 file.

Okay, that is completely idiotic. Is that actually in ICS or is it something HTC did?
I hope they fix that.

It was a decision by Google for ics.
That's why we have cm9.

You could set the mail app when to check for mail overnight. Change the off peak times to when you would be sleeping, and have it set to manual to check for messages. During the day from 7 am to 7 pm are my peak times and it's set for push. Off peak is set to manual. I have no need to auto receive emails at night. If I think I'm going to get one I need, you can check manually. This won't work if you use the native gmail app, but you can add your gmail through the HTC mail app.
Just a side note, I use handcent for texting and I've discovered (never knew it before) that you can set individual tones for specific people when they text you. That was one thing I missed from my blackberry. Not anymore
