I have a Sidekick 4g. This device has a system wide "tick" like sound that plays every time I do various things (click links, click items in list of RSS app, click threads in messaging app etc...) I would really prefer it if my device did not make this sound but the only way I've found to get it to stop is turn the volume all the way down, but then I can no longer hear my ringers.
Does anyone know of a way to eliminate this sound without the need to put my device in silent mode?
While typing this question this was one of the links that the site provided me with:
How do I disable the 'click' sound on the camera app?
Turns out a similar method can be used to disable the system "tick" sound in question as can the camera shutter sound.
I deleted(moved) this file:
/system/media/audio/ui/TW_Touch.ogg
and then rebooted my device, now I am free to navigate my phone in peace and quiet! and I won't miss txt's or calls because of my device being in silent.
EDIT: upon doing a better job of looking in the settings I found that this option is actually present in Settings->Sound->Audible selection Disabling it there is the preferred solution since it requires no root. (don't know how I managed to miss this the 2 times I've looked)
Audible selection on my device. And it does do away with this sound.
