Annoying After-text noise

I'm having a problem with my XDA Stellar. O2 always displays your credit on screen after and call/text in the form of a network message. The thing is i can't find out if you can turn off the sound for these alerts. I've tried changing everything under "sounds and notifications" but it doesn't seem to be in there. The only way i can stop it making noise is to turn the sound off on the phone completely which means i then have to turn it back on before using something like tomtom.
So my question is, can this sound be turned off and if not can the alert be turned off altogether?
Thanks

Perhaps kaiser tweak will help.

No, unfortunately as good as KaiserTweak is, it has nothing to help me.

Bump. Does anyone have any idea on what to do about this as it's becoming a serious problem

when the message comes in, which sound does it make?
What im trying to get at is maybe the phone is seeing it as a system even/warning which you can't change through the drop down list but you can disable. Try going to sounds and notifications and on the first page there untick "Events (warnings, system events)" and see if that stops them from making a sound

My wife had this with her 6230i - the solution was to phone O2 and ask them to turn off the notification at their end.

Yeah, thats what I did to disable text message sounds. It works. Settings>Sounds&Notifications>Notifications Tab.....and im sure you'll figure out the rest.

How is this a serious problem? Someone that has cancer has a serious problem.. Anyways, turning off the sent notification in the KaiserTweak didn't work for you? Maybe one of the registry gurus can figure it out.

It plays the "notify" sound. I can turn off literally everything in sounds and notifications including events and programs and it still makes a noise. the only way to stop it is to turn all sound off.

Yeah i think this is what its going to come down to. I thought it was worth asking first incase someone knew how to turn just the sound off.

The reason its becoming a problem is mainly down to TomTom. I havent yet bought an in-car holder as i'm waiting for one with a stereo audio jack, so when i use tomtom i rely on the sound as i cant actually see the screen. Yesterday (and many times before) i needed to use tomtom but i forgot the sound was off. So whilst driving i suddenly realised i didnt know where i was going and i wasnt being told. I'm sure you're aware its not very easy to turn the sound on without looking at the screen so i had to find somewhere to stop during rush hour. Not fun.
I have turned off sent notification but it isn't that thats causing the problem it's because O2 send a network alert telling you your credit everytime you've used some of it.
Thanks for all the responses. I think i'm going to give O2 a ring and ask them to turn it off. If anyone knows how to turn just the sound off though it would be really useful.

well, if its just a problem of you accidentally starting tomtom with no sound.....then i suggest you use tomtom starter
http://www.klaes.nl/
it will automatically change you volume to the max when you start tomtom

Hmmm that looks very interesting. Thanks i'll give it a go.

Disable "Charge Complete" Sound

Anyone know how to disable the charge complete sound from this phone?
I plugged the phone in to charge and went to bed. 3 hours later the phone started beeping non-stop until I physically came down and acknowledged the notification.
What an annoying thing to happen especially since I was SLEEPING! lol
(If this has been asked before, I apologize, I tried searching for this both here and the internet and all I could find was a hack for the WindowsMobile Omnia phone).
Thanks.

put your phone on silent when you go to bed!
surely you do not sleep with your phone ringer on do you?
the alarm clock works fine when the phone is on silent.

It would be nice to be able to disable the charging complete notification, and leave all other ringers and notifications turned on. I have to leave my ringers on 24/7 for emergency work calls.

hmm
you could try reduce the notification volume down to zero at bed time, Im not sure the battery charge is regarded as notification, either that or "system" volume.
if you want that automated, get tasker, a VERY good app to automates tuff, like change your volume levels for different things at different times of day or based on location etc etc, amazing app.

I have a solution, that works perfectly, and it also means your phone wont bug you EVERY single notification (otherwise you get woken up by spam in your gmail).
1) Upgrade your firmware.. The latest firmware still has the "charged thing", but its done a different way.
2) Set your global Notification tone to silent in settings, but leave volume loud.
2) Set a tone in Messaging (so you get SMS), and any other applications you want to be notified with..
Boom, no annoying bleeping sound, and spam wont wake you.. If you have vibrate turned on though, your phone will still vibrate in your pocket when you get an email

Which firmware do you have because I've tried that but it's still not working?...
Edit --> Better yet where do you change the "global Notification tone"?
I can change the SMS tone, but I don't see the global Notification tone where I can change that to silent but still get SMS sounds?...

I use an automatic profile switcher its free from market and it sets my phone to silent at 21:00 and back to normal at 07:30 simples

Do wish 2.1 had this. I hate the fact that every notification uses the same tone from downloads complete to new emails and new text messages. It's kinda like moving backwards that you can't even set custom sms tones.

[Q] Captivate starts randomly playing a song??

Anyone else had this?? A couple of times a day it just starts playing a song off the SD card... it's always the same song... It's not while getting an email, text, or phone call... Anyone else experienced this? It's a brand new phone that's just rooted and sideloading enabled... Still on stock firmware, 3 days old...

Which song? LOL
Never heard of that, if it keeps up you're within your 30 days, return it.

That's just it, this IS the replacement The old one is sitting on the table for an issue where it always thought the USB was plugged in even when it wasn't. It did the music thing as well, was hoping it was due to the same USB issue but I guess not... It's got to be one of the installed apps... Going to start uninstalling stuff, but most of the apps are various google apps (goggles, etc)

It happened to me the first time I flashed. Even though my alert notification settings were reloaded and set for the same sounds, and those sounds were on the same place on my sd card, I got the alphabetically first mp3 that was on my phone for every alert. I had to go in and re-select each notification tone and everything was fine after that.
My guess is that you restored something with settings that has an alert sound. Obviously, not anything that you mentioned (email, sms) but something through maybe you forgot about?

Hahaha that's amazing

This is a job for "Ghost Hunters."

Ah, this is the thread I need. Yes, this is happening to me as well. What I found is that the music seems to play when switching network connections. For example, if I'm in a poor reception area and the phone switches from 3G to wireless, the music might start playing.
The way to stop the music is to pull down the notification drawer. Weird.
This seemed to happen a lot more when I flashed Cognition 2.3b8 / 3.04.
Sound familiar to anyone else?

Sounds like you guys have the option turned on to notify you when switching towers or whatever that setting is called. I know it's there, just haven't used it on this phone. I use it when I travel so if I change towers it alerts me and I can see if I'm roaming.
Look for this in the settings, and turn that notification off.

Is that an option in 2.2? Couldn't find it, but perhaps I'm missing something. What I am hoping is that it's one of the apps I have installed, like NoBars. I'm turning other notifications off to see if that helps. The odd part is this only happens maybe once a day, so to me it doesn't appear consistent.

Mine is doign the same thing as described by the OP. Seems to be playing the first mp3 located in the "Music" folder I created on my internal 16gb SD-card randomly throughout the day. Not sure if it coincides with the battery full notification or not.
The started happening a couple days ago, before I switched to official froyo, and now it's doing the same thing after the upgrade. I have never rooted or flashed my Cappy, other than from official 2.1 -> official 2.2 yesterday.

Text Messaging Issues

Hello,
Ever since I have gotten this phone, I have run into problems occasionally with messages failing to send out. They simply get stuck at "sending".
Mtmichaelson informed me that on the VZW community forums this is a main complaint of the phone. I spoke with tech support and of course they said they have never heard of this before and simply wanted me to perform a factory reset (Which I had already done previously, even before I was rooted) . I even went out to get a new sim card.
Today though, I think I may have found out what causes it. It appears it's happening from sending messages consecutively too fast.
For example, say I sent you a message at 11:00:01 AM saying "SCREW", followed by "YOU" at 11:00:04 while the first message is still attempting to send. (It doesn't always happen, but when it does its usually from sending messages consecutively too fast. At least with my own testing)
The first one will send and the second one will fail to send, along with any other messages you attempt to send, until you either put your phone in airplane mode or reboot.
I have corrected the situation by using Handcent and applying a 1.5 second delay of when I press send. Now, my texting problems have been solved. (Hopefully)
I live in Houston and there have been no reports of VZW network issues here, and I've had a Tbolt and a Charge and never had this issue.
Thanks,
Samsuck

I've run into the same thing numerous times. Always seem to happen when im in a low signal area.
Do you ever have the issue where only half of 2 part messages comes through?

yup.. i have problems with low signal texts, and im not a big handcent fan... can never get the stock notifications to stop so i always get two notifications per sms/mms... oh well.

I actually prefer GO SMS but the lack of nice free themes suck.
All you have to do is go to your stock messaging app, hit menu, settings, and scroll down to notifications, and turn it off

Sigh..
Nevermind.

This is the biggest, most frustrating thing I've ever experienced. I'm glad I'm not the only person, but this is my only gripe with this phone.
When all my messages get stuck in "sending" I have to put it in airplanes mode one time for every message I'm trying to send.
I also have a horrible problem with not receiving all the sections of long text message.

That's not it, me setting a delay in handcent to prevent the texting issue didn't work.
Unfortunately, I think I may have to get a new phone, this is happening way too often, and as much as I love the phone, and Revolt rom. I am tired of my girlfriend *****ing at me for not replying, when I have it's just that I encounter the "stuck at sending" problem, at least 3 times a day

Mine has only gotten stuck twice, but both times I cleared it by calling voicemail. Worth a try, easier than a reboot.

one solution i just read is to delete your texts. once they start to become full the phone has a problem sending. try erasing your threads then it should work. i just googled this problem since i ran into it and am testing it now

I will be following this as it happens to me excessively.

Same here. i thought it had something to do with the handoff between wifi and 4G, but after reading this thread, I'm not so sure. For me it always seems to happen when I've been connected to a wifi network and switched to 4G. I'm testing not running wifi at all today to see if it happens again.

Same problem here. I concur that it appears to be an issue with sending text messages "too quickly."
I also called Verizon, got bumped up to "Tier 2 Support" and spent well over an hour on the phone doing every little thing they asked. I am going to try using the Handcent delay feature and see if that helps.
For those of us on Revolt...Does anyone know if/think it may have something to do with v1.5 still using V4 and not having the latest radio update? Or is this a problem for those using the stock rom and V6 as well?

Yup, sending messages to quickly is my theory as well but the handcent delay didn't work for me. I set it to 1.5 seconds which I figured should be enough.

Do any devs have any insight on how or why this may be occuring? It'd be awesome if someone knew of a fix. I'm pretty confident that it's a software issue and not phone related

I really don't think that has anything to do with it. The threads can't get "full" unless you set a limit (which I didn't), and I was still having the issue even after deleting all of my texts (one of the many things Verizon had me do on the phone). I'm no dev, so I could be wrong about this, but I feel like a fix that easy would've been diagnosed by now.
I agree it's a software issue of some sort...it doesn't seem consistent enough to be a hardware issue. There's threads on the LG forums about it. The handcent delay seems to have helped me, or at least I don't find myself wanting to throw my phone across the room as frequently.
On a lighter note, while on the phone with Verizon, the lady had me turn off my WiFi because "When it's turned on your phone sends the text messages through the wifi."

Droid 4 silences itself ever since ota to .217

This is apparently a common enough thing from what I've seen on line, but every solution I find involves the person having used a profile switcher or their calender to signify being unavailable. I do not use either type of program. I almost never silence my phone. (in the movie theater or similar, yes, but otherwise never) Does anyone have any idea what it could be? It;s only been happening since the OTA update to .217 ICS. It's getting thoroughly aggravating missing calls and texts, as I'm sure you can imagine... Thank you to anyone with ideas/suggestions.

Check your settings in both the system settings as well as each individual app. I think after the update the messaging app is set to silent by default, or at least the vibrate is turned off.
If the system is messed up I recommend that everyone install the ota factory reset. Clearing out your old GB data and letting the ICS run "fresh" solves a lot of problems.

Could it be a Smart Actions setting?

Settings are all fine yet it does randomly put itself on silent mode no vibration and you have to turn it back to vibration via settings volume rocker just puts it back on silent....

If it keeps happening tomorrow, I will do a full factory reset. Hoping I won't have to though. It's a pain in the rear to restore everything... It isn't a smart action thing because I have that app frozen, good thought though. Thank you all for the responses.

I tried a fr from recovery menu never froze apps nor rooted this d4 didn't help...

Update
I've found that it is only doing it with phone calls now. I cannot find a setting in the phone app or the system settings that is set to mute, but it keeps happening. Also, after using the lock screen to unmute it, I have to turn up the volume manually. The lock screen thing only bumps it up to the minimum volume level... Anything else come to mind before i do a full FR? I'd really rather avoid it if I can... Thanks again.

Now I've got one worse. Did a FR, no go. Tried to update to Eclipse, and messed it up. Had to .sbf back to factory. EVEN AFTER the .sbf, still having the same issue with it muting while recieving a call.... (i.e. goes on vibrate instead of ringing....) Any ideas ANYONE???!!?!?!?

Honestly, this sounds like a hardware issue to me. If I understand correctly, it sounds like the phone keeps going to silent (or vibrate after ICS)?
My guess after all your software troubleshooting is that your volume down key is either physically or electronically damaged, and periodically decreases itself. You might want to try remapping the volume button or something to see if that solves the problem. Of course, after that you don't have any volume buttons, which stink.
Aside, the physical buttons (power, volume) on the D4 really stink. They are very mushy and almost flush with the case, poor design if you ask me.

That thought crossed my mind also, but it only happens on an incoming call, and I can adjust the volume up and down in every app. If I don't receive a call all day, there is no problem, texts & emails work fine. I've even had a friend sit with me and text me (sound worked) then call me (muted as it received the call) and all it did was vibrate, no ringtone. I have who is it and thought it might be that, but un-installed it and no change... I'm totally out of ideas...
Thank you for the ideas, unfortunately nothing has worked so far. Any further ideas will be much appreciated. Thanks again.

Finally figured it out. Apparently it had to do with some stetting that Who Is It made. I had it set to announce the caller, which apparently doesn't work now. When I un-installed who is it nothing changed, so I re-installed it and on a whim disabled the announce feature, and it's been ringing fine since. I believe it was some sort of setting because after disabling the announcement, I un-installed who is it again, and the phone would ring without a problem. No Idea what setting it was. Thanks to veryone for the help.
