Z3 camera quick start chime - linked to media volume

Winstonluk1 — Tue, 26 May 2015 19:22:14 GMT

Dear Sony support

I have discovered that post lollipop software update (not to android 5 but the update to it) the start up chime is now linked to the media volume and not the system volume.

This means that if I'm listening to music or watching a movie and leave the media volume up, the chime will play - incredibly annoying considering the system is on silent.

Please resolve - not a feature I want on my phone considering it wasn't like this before.

Many thanks

Kind regards

Thanks for link

How does this help me though?
Doesn't resolve issue. Chime won't go away. Privacy comment is a load of rubbish (Samsung/apple don't have sounds, I can load the camera from app drawer without sound)

Sony for some reason unbeknownst to everyone on this forum decided to put the sound back

This is making me considering ditching the phone and buying an iPhone

Clearly Sony arent listening to customers - did I ask for the chime? No.

Will anyone do anything about it? Doubt it.

Without flashing my phone (which as I last recall wasn't something Sony suggested doing) how do I fix this?

You could use a 3rd party camera app. Or suggest this to Sony:
