A
Android Central Question
When I power on the system volume being off, it still plays ATT chime. Is there a way to turn this off at start up?
Root the phone (which voids the warranty). Then go to /system/media/ui/audio and rename startup.ogg to something else (like startup.ogg.bak).
You can't do it without rooting, so you have to decide which is more important - silence or a warranty).
Really? Suggesting root (which compromises security potentially as well as voids a perfectly good warranty).
The only issue is that you lose AT&T services.Not the most practical, but if you can still return it, the unlocked version has a lot less bloatware, costs $720, and has no carrier or sound at startup. Should work on all carriers too. I got an unlocked one and slapped my ATT sim in with no issues.
