turning off sounds at power up/down

Is there a way to disable the loud and annoying "Droid" + "explosion" sound at phone power-up, as well as the loud jingle sound at power-down? I cannot find any way to do this under Apps | Settings | Sound Settings.

If the phone is set to vibrate, neither of these sounds will occur.

Thanks. It looks like the System Volume slider under Sound Settings | Volume controls both the touch feedback and power on/off sound. So, if I do not want to have the latter, I also lose the former. That really sucks. Is there a proven app that would take care of squelching power on/off sounds completely, while preserving all other settings? I found Silent Boot but am not sure if it is compatible with Droid Charge.

I don't see the slider you refer to.  The only sliders under Setttings/Sound Settings/Volume are called "incoming call volume" and "media volume".

I find that the phone powers up silently if it was in Silent Mode prior to power off.

WCMack,

 

Hi! Were you able to locate the system volume under "Sounds Settings>Volume"? I was able to verify and find it on Charge I had on hand.  I would try to do a soft reset and pull the battery while powered on. Leave the battery out for 10-15 seconds and power back on. If you still do not have the option for system volume, a master reset will reset to default and the option will appear. Make sure your contacts are backed up to Gmail or Backup Assistant before performing the reset. After, it will walk through the activation and set-up, including the Gmail log in. 

 

 

Please post here to confirm resolution.

 

Thank you!
