I need your help with this stupid thing.
I have a Samsung Galaxy 3, I usually keep all of the ringers and notifications muted, because I can't have it going off in court. Well it was recently updated OTA by my carrier T-Mobile, and now I can't figure out what's going on. I have it on mute, (no vibration, no audio) and I get no audio alerts except for email from my gmail account. Some robot lady freaked me out this morning while I was half asleep "You've got email." I tried fiddling around in all of the settings and can't find a way to turn off the robot lady. So, any ideas? |
| I got a Galaxy Note 2 recently, coming out of an iphone. I love the phone itself, but Android has got to be the most mindless, senseless, disappointing OS I've ever had the misfortune of using. If I had it to do over, I would have stuck with iOS and will probably go back in 2 years. |
| I had this happen randomly the other day too. Didn't change any of the settings and it all of a sudden stopped doing it. I'm not wondering if it's a glitch in the new software as mine just updated not too long ago too. I love my s3, but i'm not too fond of the new software. |

On the main page hit the menu button (bottom left), then settings, then volume. Inside the volume are multiple ways it will make noise. The one you are probably looking for is system volume. Ah, this might be the solution. I just clicked through the menus you suggested while the phone was completely muted (with the noted exception this thread is about), and found all of the sliders were muted save one: "Music, video, games and other media." So I slid that over to mute. We'll see. ETA: Well, hot damn, I just got an email without the robot lady announcing it.  Thanks all.

Being able to customize it is even more confusing. Having to learn a different way to do things is just horrible, horrible... |
