Please help. I am new to this phone and certainly wouldn't say I was techy at all and have no idea what the references to 'rooting' are.
I want to turn off the start up sound on my Galaxy S III mini. I have found the silent boot app, have tried turning on mute before I switch off and have turned down the volume in settings/sound/system.......and it has made no difference.
Any ideas?
Just put ur phone on silent when you are booting, the sound will not play...then put the sound back on when your phone is up and running
That doesn't work on my S III mini
It still comes on even when its on Silent? what about Vibrate?
I have the Galasxy S3 and when I put it on silent, the sound doesnt come on
Sooo, for all the times you turn it on, when you shouldn't be.
Just mute the darned thing, and don't turn it off.
Root it and rename the startup/power down sounds. /system/media/audio/ui/poweron.ogg & poweroff.ogg
What is a root explorer?
Dont root :beer:

Try turning off system sound. Works for me.

After reading this in tempted to change my startup and shut down sounds to hitch hikers guide sounds
Oh my phone sounds awesome now
I found the files PowerOn.ogg but it is read only.
What can I do to have permiissions?
Thanks
That's true any time you silence your phone. At church. At a funeral. At a staff meeting. While having a conversation with your wife. ;-)
Get Light Flow and set the silent mode notification. That is my favorite feature. Just be sure to include "vibrate mode" too.

same here. I have root and granted superuser rights and I still can't rename. Gives me the options but after i rename it says "sorry, operation failed". I've tired moving it and deleting it with no success.
I have an S3 mini and Silent reboot app does not work, but putting the phone on silent before you shut down does...looks like this is the only solution for now?
Make sure / (root) is mounted as read/write.
Silent Boot App worked for me! - Samsung Galaxy S4
Push settings , push sound, click volume go to bottom slide system off ... My S 3 mini has no more start up or shut down but all my notification, my own what's app incoming message alert , messages and ringtones I have set with my own sounds all work
Thanks a million! I can't stand start up sounds. This worked like a charm. No rooting and no renaming files on my new Galaxy S2.
Going tomorrow to activate my new GS2. I know it's old news to most, but it's brand new to me. Had a the first Droid X with VZW (not too bad but have had bad experiences with Moto), currently have the Thunderbolt with VZW (a lot better phone but hate the start up sounds but forum solution didn't silence the thunder clashing-extremely annoying). Switching to the GS2 at Boost tomorrow.
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!!!
Using Root Explorer and renaming the poweron and poweroff OGG files worked perfectly, thank you! I'm using Insanity V3 for my Galaxy S4 (tmo) and that was the only part that I didn't like.
Name change won't keep. Downloaded app: Root Browser
Thank you so much! My wife is really happy about this.
She hates the "Droid" Startup sound.
Great app!
