Stock unrooted phone is only playing half a ringtone - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

So when I get a text it only plays the first half of the tone I selected, not matter which one I pick.
Any thoughts??

If you have auto delete messages on in your sms app settings it will do that while its trying to delete an old message as it recieves a new one. If you uncheck that option the problem should go away.

SMS/MMS Notification Sound Cut Off

Lately I've noticed my SMS/MMS Notification Sound gets cut off in the middle of playing.
I'm using the "Whistle" notification sound. It worked fine the first day I had my phone (today would be day 5 I've had it)
I've tried restarting the phone, choosing different tones, fixing permissions, clearing caches. So far nothing seems to be working
It looks like it gets cut off when the screen lights up from the notification.
Anyone else having this issue? And if so, have you found a fix (besides using a 3rd party messaging app like Go SMS). I have the Sprint variant, stock rooted (LF9)

Yeah I had the same problem
But it only happened when my wife would text me
I did the same fixes as u did thinking that would work, but it didn't so I erased that contact put it back in and now it works right
Good luck
Cheers

Wowwwwww you know what? It only happens to me when my girlfriend messages me lol. Wtf? That's so weird! Maybe it has something to do the most frequently messaged person? Gunna delete the contact and test.
Thanks!

It does this If you set a limit for incoming texts and have auto delete on. Erase all the messages when your at the limit and it will go back to normal again

Oh that makes sense. I had my auto delete set @ 120 SMS. So I'm guessing what happens is once the thread hits 120 and you get a new SMS the notification gets interrupted by the system deleting the last message in that thread to make it 120.
Well this is all very helpful. Problem solved. Thanks guys!

Another work around for this is to use zedge to assign your sound. For whatever reason, it bypasses the issue and the sound fully plays when a new message comes in.

Vibration problems[Q]

So basically i found out that I can make custom vibrations in the settings and thats a really cool feature! What my problem is however is that when I set a vibration pattern that I like sadly the default vibration keeps on happening when I get text messages. Is there any way to fix this?

Hum tried a reboot I assume? Does it change to your custom for phone calls?

Might just be that way unless it changes to one of the other pre set options. Odd

Be very careful with that as it is illegal in many places to silence the camera sound.

Also, if you have root, you can go to /system/media/audio/ui and rename camera_click.ogg and camera_click_short.ogg to something else (I add .bak to them). This will disable the click in both silent/non-silent sound profiles.
Um, open the camera, click the settings icon, and scroll down where it says shutter sound? Turn it off. Done.

Maybe its just my model, but my Verizon SGS3 doesn't have this option. I had to do it other ways.

There is no such option, at least not on mine from Verizon's phone and camera settings.

Shoot, my bad. The option is all the way at the bottom. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :laugh:
As another option to changing the name of the sound file and if you're rooted, in the Sprint Developers forum there's a configuration line you can add to edit the camera features so that Verizon S3's can get back that 'shutter sound option' check it out:

Method 1:
Using Root Explorer or something similar browse to system\media\audio\ui and rename Shutter.ogg and Shutter_multiple.ogg to whatever you want or just add a .bak extension to both files.

I just put my phone to silent mode using the volume icon in the notifications bar. No sound when I shoot. I expect that will be patched.

Truncated / Cut short SMS Notifications

Hi guys,
I'm having a weird bug with SMS notifications on my S3, when I get a text it will cut short or sometimes not even play the notification sound. I've tried various tones, restarting the phone, changing the settings off - reboot - turn setting back on, but nothing is sorting it... Anyone else had this issue and been able to resolve it?
Thanks,
J
Same problem here, its totally random.
I've noticed this myself a few times as well.
I had it, I changed to a different notification sound and that fixed it. Not sure if you can go back after? Whistle annoyed me so didn't try.

Do you keep your phone screen down on a table, there's a motion settings to mute ringtones if the phone is placed screen down on a table.

Why did Sony decide to make ringer and notification volume the same

And is there any way to separate them? Very annoying when listening to music to get notifications for emails.

To me is very helpful, since I don't want to lost any work e-mail, I need the notifications to be impossible to miss

They are doing it for usability reasons. Essentially notifications and ringtones serve the same purpose, and there are very few use cases when those need to be different.

They really don't though. At the moment I'm talking about music and it's annoyance of being interrupted by an email every 5 minutes. I'll work out something with tasker anyway.
However what about wanting phone calls at night but not emails. At 2am someone calls i want to hear it. I don't want to hear my email.
Apple is getting praise for finally separating the 2 and Google goes the other way. Very silly

I have the same problem - so I just switch off WLAN and data traffic when I'm on call.. No more waking up for an email

I wished i could set my notification tone quieter like i could in previous versions.
