Disable Wireless Charging Notification Sounds on Galaxy S5

[Mst99]

Anyone know of way to disable the wireless charging sound without rooting or silencing all notifications? This is pretty annoying not being able to turn it off. The first notification when I place the phone on the charger I'm fine with. It's the ones throughout the night that wake me. I've read when it's up to charge and trickling back down, or getting hot and pausing charges is why this happens. The only solution I found is rooting, which I rather not do until Knox isn't tripped.

Re: Wireless Charging

I have Battery Doctor app installed and I don't hear those sounds on either my old Galaxy S which is still in use as a backup Alarm Clock w/no service; nor my S5. Battery Doctor gives you an option to hear sounds or turn them off.

check it out, no rooting required and Verizon won't let me anyway.

* Battery Doctor (Battery Saver) - Android Apps on Google Play

make sure you study all of the Mode menus and program the Whitelists for each.

Might also consider the Sound Profile app to turn notificatiins off during certain hours.

I'm having the beep problem with my Galaxy S5.

Which settings on Battery Doctor did you tweak to turn off the beeping?

I've been unable to turn if off with Sound Profile.

Thanks!

Same here. I can't figure it out. There are 2 sounds when wireless charging. One is very quiet and one is very loud. It seems that the quiet one comes on when you remove the phone and put it back immediately. The loud sound is annoying and I can't figure out how to disable it except for disabling all sound which I can't do since I am on call 24/7 and need to hear my phone.

Any ideas on how to get wireless charging sounds to go away?

I saw another post on this forum that include a snip from Samsung support saying that the loud tone could not be muted.

I'm ready to root!

Oh yes there is a root method for the ATT. I am on ATT and have rooted my phone successfully yesterday without a problem. And the link is provided by AZ.

After rooted you may want to install root checker and see if you successfully rooted. You may also want to visit the xda forums as well.

After rooting, how did you change the sound?

Step by step:
1. Root your phone
2. Download root browser
3. Find the wireless charging sound: system>media>audio>ui>WirelessChargingStarted.ogg
4. Rename the file to something unique (i used oldWirelessChargingStarted.ogg)
5. Find a sound you like and copy the file
6. Rename the copied sound file to WirelessChargingStarted.ogg
7. Profit

Success. II had to try two File Managers before I was able to rename the offending file!

Awesome! Glad you got er done. That wireless charging sound was totally annoying.

Friends:

The beep is back!

Tonight I made a very small mp3 file with no sound and converted it to an OGG file, and moved it to my phone with Airdroid, and put it in the proper place.

I checked permissions, rebooted and I'm still hearing the beep.

I moved the renamed OldWire* file to another directory.

Aargh.

Update: I found another file to rename Charger_Connection.ogg !

I am new to all of this stuff. Where did you download the ATT root and other downloads that are needed (checker and others).
Crossing fingers I do not ruin my phone.
