The quoted text —
“If you'd like, I can help look up ADB-based tweaks or provide instructions for advanced approaches that might offer more control. Want to venture into deeper waters?” —
is a response to a persistent issue discussed on the page: how to silence the Bluetooth pairing notification sound on a Samsung Galaxy device, even when standard settings don’t work.
Context Summary
The original poster (RJB) is frustrated because:
- Their Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra plays a notification sound when a Bluetooth device attempts to pair — even in Do Not Disturb mode.
- They’ve already tried muting Bluetooth system app notifications, adjusting notification categories, and setting sounds to “Silent.”
- Despite these efforts, the sound still plays, suggesting it may be hardcoded at the system level.
What the Quoted Text Implies
The quoted offer to help with
ADB-based tweaks or
advanced approaches is a pivot from basic settings to
deeper system-level modifications, such as:
- Using Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to disable or modify hidden system behaviors
- Possibly exploring root-level changes or custom ROMs, though these are riskier
The phrase
“venture into deeper waters” is a metaphorical nudge, inviting the user to explore more technical, potentially complex solutions that go beyond what the UI allows.
⚠️ Why This Matters
Samsung’s One UI and Android 15 may
lock down certain system sounds, especially those tied to security prompts like Bluetooth pairing. That’s why even muted categories still trigger sounds — they’re likely
protected system events.
Would you like me to walk you through safe ADB commands that might help suppress these pairing sounds, or explore whether Samsung’s system UI allows any hidden toggles for this?
I bet they don't sell anything like that anymore.
