Hi. I just switched from a Blackberry to a new LG Viper 4G LTE (carrier is Sprint) for a work cell phone. I asked our support (they should know) about this, but they said that basically it is a feature that cannot be shut off. What I hope to do is, when you first turn the phone on, after maybe 10 seconds, it plays a maybe 10-15 second "theme song". Is there any way to NOT have that play when you turn the phone ON (or off, which is a much shorter version)? Thanks for any suggestions!

Put your phone on silent or vibrate before shutting it off. If you put it on vibrate, it will vibrate instead of playing the music. On silent, no noise is made during the booting process
