Turn off startup sound?

[Wolverana]

Not sure if this is the same on GS3 but on the GS I just read, and altered, the system volume in the sounds setup. Go to your Setup and choose Sounds, then choose Volume and slide the system volume all the say down. All other sounds still work but that one is gone! Yaaaaay no more waking up in the middle of the dang night because my phone restarted on me!

I've confirmed this works. Question though, what system sounds would it mute outside of the touch sounds and all that? I have them off anyway, just want to make sure there's nothing else I would miss with that slider all the way down.

Not sure what all else other than the system sounds as you mentioned already for the touch pad stuff. I would imagine anything on the touch system would be turned off. I verified that the phone dial touch tones is off and I had that turned on temporarily a couple days ago so off is fine by me on that too. Verified that turning the phone off and on there is no sound also, but the Notifications and rings etc are all working fine.

To disable the shut-down sound, be sure to also disable in the same directory:

PowerOff.wav -> PowerOff.wav.disabled

-- in addition to: --

PowerOn.ogg -> PowerOn.ogg.disabled
PowerOff.ogg -> PowerOff.ogg.disabled

Because it's annoying, and people like to stare when your phone makes noise lol

100% true

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

 

[AndreaBeagles]

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

For when you're starting up your phone during Church service? Or at a funeral? Or during a staff meeting? Or when your wife is trying to have a conversation with you?

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

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 is the point though. It makes you manually silence it every time and I believe it does not disable the power down sound. Also if you forget to unsilence it when you turn it back on you may miss stuff.

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?
