Has anybody yet figured out how to disable the startup "buzz?" - EVO 4G General

I don't like how it buzzes every time I start or restart the phone.
Is there a way to disable this?
Thanks.

I'm sure it's possible, it starts right when the splash comes up. But why does it matter? Is it worth modifying the recovery to stop less than a second of vibration...its not like it's going to eat your battery.

Probably because it's noisy. There are some times when you might want to startup or restart your phone and not make any noise. If this was a Nokia, where the vibrate only vibrates and doesn't make a rattling noise, it wouldn't be an issue.

Think of it as part of the system Power On Self Test, that validates all the basic hardware is functioning...like that little beep when you turn on your computer, GASP our phones are 1ghz computers!!!!

Yes, that is why.

Mine doesn't rattle. Are nokia's vibrators something special?

Put your phone down on something soft like a towel. Make it vibrate. Can you hear it? That's a rattle. A phone should not make noise when it is vibrating.

Isn't the definition of sound "vibrations in the atmosphere"?

When I'm cooking a ROM and flash it the first time, that is my sigh of relief that the phones going to boot. That and when the light dims.

My Wizard Snaps At Me!

Just recently my wizard makes a loud sound when I tap on an option in the page menu, or whatever. The sound is so loud and it comes unexpectedly makes me jump out of my boots! Does anyone know what causes this and have experienced the same thing?

This and the fact that you have hardware clicks turned on in sound settings.

Nope, the volume was 1 notch below the center. This was the 1st thing I looked at after it happened. I guess I'm the only 1 it's happened to.
This actually happened to me a few times when i was on WM5, since i have switched to WM6 i haven't ever had this again. So i assume it is a rom glitch.

I hear weird sound....

I flashed my phone to SC 2.4 voodoo and everything works fine except that whenever I am on the phone I hear weird sound. It doesnt happen when screen is not on. I think it has to do with some kind of sensor btw you phone and your ear. When screen is on because the phone is not close enough to your ear, it makes sound but as soon as you put your phone close to your ear so that no longer screen is on then I dont hear anymore.....it could not be a big deal...but it kinda bothers me....so plz any suggestions will b greatly appreciated!!
What sort of sound is it? Is it a very high pitched constant tone? Or something else?
Heya,
That sound comes from the screen turning on. Its some sort of frequency noise. Not sure if there is a fix for it.

Not the first to report it, it's happened on other roms as well.
Yep. Not a problem for me on DL09
Got it on both froyo leaks as does my friends fascinate
Doesnt bother me too much though
the texts greater than 160 chars coming through as gibberish or not coming through to non-verizon customers is whats getting annoying to me.
I turned on the simple split 160 option in handcent but something about splitting texts into multiple texts just feels wrong to me :S
I do not believe that there is a fix for it at the moment. But I have noticed that with 2.2 as well. From what I remember I think it has something to do with the soft keys and screen lighting up when on the phone is moved from your ear.
I've noticed this also. But only since EB01 (I think...lol). It does get somewhat annoying but not really that bad. Would love a fix. Superclean 2.4nv
Good. Glad to hear that I'm not the only one hearing this.
I'm just hoping that the noise isn't the sound of something being damaged in my phone. ...like some internal component that is receiving too much power.
To describe the noise, it's pretty much the same kind of noise that a light-up watch makes whenever you turn on the light. I don't know if any of you have ever stuck your ear up to a Timex Indiglo, or something similar, but there is a little "wheeeeeee" kind of noise that is emitted by the light.
*EDIT*
Ok. More info on the odd noise coming out of the phone. It only happens when the phone is in a call. So it is something related to the proximity sensor. Is it possible that EB01 is sending too much voltage through the proximity sensor?
If you are not in a call, even if both the screen and the soft keys are enabled, there is no odd noise. When you are in a call and the screen is on, a weird noise is made. As soon as the screen goes off, the noise stops.

[Q] Loose volume key

y all.
I've tried to search from internet if somebody has the same problem as I do with my Galaxy S but I could not find anything. When i shake the phone, i can hear the clicking sound coming from the volume keys.
Has anyone else had any build quality problem or am I just unlucky?
Theres a thread in q&a about creaks rattles and build qualify, its real cutting edge stuff!

It's really annoying. Especially when somebody is calling you and the phone starts vibrating. It sounds like a damn old Nokia.
I have the same problem.

I think its the first thing to be turned off, it'll just make me want the toilet
I actually hate random noises like that. First thing i do with every computer of any type that i touch is turn off system sounds. So infuriatingly annoying.

I do that too! Usually the only sound I leave turned on on a phone is the keyboard typing sound. I usually turn off all "touch vibration" too. Same goes for computers, on a fresh install of Windows, the first thing I do is turn off all the sounds.
This "Nature" thing that Samsung has going, I don't really like it at all. I find the dandelion wallpaper horrendous, the system "toilet" soundset is laughable and the ripple effects really dumb. I'll turn it all off. That's the first thing I'll do!
Sorry for not being helpful, OP... I don't have a SGS3 so I can't assist you. But it felt good getting this off my chest!

Ah I get it now, you want the dew drop sounds, but not the annoy click sound afterwards.
Does it happen when you hold the phone?
The back doesn't really sit flush against flat surfaces due to the speak guard slightly raised to stop the sound getting muffled, that might be the issue?
