Battery full notification sound

Hello. I know I have seen this before but can't seem to find it anywhere. Can the battery full notification be turned off? Thank you in advance.

There's no setting that can turn it off... other than to lower your volume or put notifications on Silent.
You could try renaming the TW_battery_caution.ogg file in system/media/audio/ui that would eliminate it from being found when it tries to play the sound. (haven't tried this so it may throw an error (doubtful)... at which point you could rename it back to the original name)

Like JoeDV says--
Go to Settings - Sound and Display - System Volume - and move the slider all the way to the left and touch OK. You will still have the visual notice, but NO sound.
If you want other sounds from the "system", this won't work for you, but I always have system volume turned all the way down. For me, it helps convserve the battery.

I think you're onto something here. Rather than renaming the file, and potentially causing an issue when the system tries to call on that file to play the sound, you could REPLACE the sound file with one that contains no sound.

Well, yeah... you could do that too. Good idea.

Feel free to delete sound files in that folder.
I deleted Lock.ogg inside that folder since I like the unlock noise but not that crappy tick for locking it.
Also deleted shutdown.ogg...

Changing the phone lock sound

As the title says I'm wondering if it's possible to change the sound played as the phone is locked. Im currently using serendipity 6.4. I couldn't find anything in the settings menu about it so I figured I would come here

have you tried searching for apps on market that might aid in this? Some of em might have options in the settings. I really don't know of any, but you could try "lockbot". I think that one lets you change lockscreen and stuff. Then of course you could silence it, but I know that's not what your going for

the sound its located here: /system/media/audio/ui
the screenlock sound is called (oddly enough) Lock.ogg
take a sound you want to use, make sure its .ogg format, rename it Lock.ogg and drop it in the directory i with root exploerer or adb said and reboot. that should work ... havent tried it personally but it should work.

Camera Launch Noise

Anyone know how to turn off the camera launch sound ?
Had a quick look around and can't find any way to do it.
Not talking about the shutter sound, it's the noise that it makes when you press the dedicated camera key to launch the camera app.

So that would be no then?

Maybe you can't do it in the Sony stock ROM, if you've rooted your Z1 though you can probably locate the audio file and delete it, or modify the apk file that calls the audio file and delete the line that actually plays the audio file.

Probably would work but find it incredible that such an intrusive noise like this can't be switch off. Currently the only way to stop it is to turn the volume down on the phone.

I just received my device and I'll have a look for you. I can't provide an easy way to disable the sound though since I'm not that good with smali or whatever. But I can probably locate the audio file and tell you about it. Other than that, wait for the custom roms.

Perhaps it can be replaced by a quieter shorter sound, the current noise is the electronic equivalent of Dom Joly shouting 'I'M USING MY CAMERA'.

Okay I found the audio file for you, didn't do it last night because of other things.
It's located here: /system/app/SemcCameraUI.apk/res/raw/start_up_notifier.wav
I assume you can delete it and you shouldn't have the start up sound anymore. The problem at the moment is that unlocking the bootloader breaks the camera, and I don't feel like breaking my camera to try and see if it works.
Just to be save, make sure you backup your "SemcCameraUI.apk" file before modifying it and if things don't do as planned, put it back.

you dont have to unlock the bootloader to delete that file, root is enough.

That's totally true, but you can't modify the odexed apk file. You first have to deodex it, delete it, then odex it again and see if it works.. speaking of which I can give it a shot. Will report back later!

Adding custom notification sounds

I can add ringtones but can't see a way to add notification sounds.

Add them to the "notifications" folder within your phone. I have been doing this for years since I like to use the same ringtones and notifications no matter what phone.

You need root access for that.

No, plugin your phone into your PC, browse the phone and look for a Notifications folder.

I know where the notifications folder is and can browse to it with es file explorer. It's a read only folder so it won't let you copy anything in there unless you have root access.

Plug it into your PC, set the phone into MTP mode (not ptp mode) and copy the files from your PC to phone. This is what I do, it won't let me upload a screen shot from my settings otherwise I would be able to show you mine.

You're right. Doh!
I'm fairly new to Android and tried adding it in the system folder which is write protected.
Another question. Is there a way to not make the ringtones I've added show up in the music app? I only want my albums to show up and not random ringtones and notifications.

No rooting needed!

Just got a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and I was bummed that I could not add my own notification tones. Then I found this forum and am I glad that I did because now I can add my own notifications by connecting my phone to my laptop and transferring the tones to the Notifications folder! Most awesome thing ever! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

I don't know if it works but a .nomedia file in the folder might keep it hidden

Rooted HTC Mini 2 Camera Click and Autofocus sound still there?

How do I remove these files...Tried alot of apps with root access which still haven't given me a silence camera, shifted around alot in the root access not found anything.
The click as you focus and the click as the photo is taken...my phone is rooted so how do I get rid of it?

You can do that by simply going into camera definitions> camera options> turn shutter sound off.

Not in this region there is no option to turn off the shutter sound.
I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING.
1. I am using the file explorer. I have found the offending files. I have deleted them, renamed them, cut them, done everything humanly possible.
Yet everytime I go back there they have reappeared and continue to sound. I literally cannot fathom how ****ing hard it is to delete a 20kb click on a rooted phone
2. I have also tried the ULTIMATE sound control app which is very good at locating the problomatic sounds but and I turn them off using that program
And you guessed it they're right back there. These files are undeletables
I need to take pictures of some pretty furry stuff at work and I cannot have drip clickity clack clack when I am trying to take pictures....I don't know what else to try atm. I don't understand how they keep coming back where does the 30kb come from if I just deleted it

It could be possible that your region has a law against turning off shutter sounds which is why it has been omitted. Where did you buy it from? That could clear a bit of why the option isn't there.
EDIT: Did you try using the camera in silent mode? Maybe, just maybe the camera app will not have shutter sounds. It works for me though

Never heard of such law but we are always learning.
if volume off does not work you can always install the backup i made available.

Install what backup and when and how?

I don't think gaining S-OFF will accomplish this. If you want to try though, google Sunshine. It lets you S-OFF modern HTC devices, albeit with a $25 fee

the problem in question is how to disable the click NOT what he's using it for.
same reason if you want to disable flash so you dont get notice when taking a picture of your friend sleeping with an open mouth.
