shutdown sound starts so fast, that the app cannot mute it fast enough. for a fraction of second the shutdown sound starts to play. but the much more louder startup sound is muted! this app saves my life! (and phone's warranty ;) ) (Galaxy Note 7)

Works like a charm for my Blu Dash 5.5 - thanks! I'm using the scheduled power off / power on option on my phone. That way I don't have to remember to silence my phone (or use airplane mode, or whatever) every night. Now it does this silently. UPDATED AGAIN: I was having problems with this sound being off only sometimes when the phone powered off. After trying several options I think the app now works all the time as long as I have "compatibility mode" turned on.

I don't see why this requires a third party app instead of just being an option in the phone's settings. Why would anyone want a noisy boot?

Startup sounds are still loud and annoying as ever on my nexus 6. Even tried enabling the extended work around, nothing. If you've got a nexus 6, it doesn't help.

The boot sound on my ascend mate 2 could not be disabled. The phone has to be rooted in order to disable the boot up sound because there was no option in settings to turn it off. It was very loud and very annoying. Like other people have stated, why does everyone have to hear my phone starting up? This app is a lifesaver. It kills that's annoying jingle at startup and now I have nothing but the boot animation and a slight vibration on startup. What a fantastic app. Thank you so much. I love it.

Works on boot up in my karbon titanium s 7. I really was looking for getting rid of that annoying nagging jingle. This app does not work on shut down. Guess we have to mute before shut down. One may not remember to do it in silence supreme areas like religious places courts meetings etc. We will be left holding a embarrassingly bawling baby .

Works perfectly on my Galaxy S6. My phone is muted on shutdown. Booting is silent, and then the normal sound is restored when booting is completed. I haven't found any problems. It's wonderful to have an app that works well.

This app does not work and my HTC is still playing it's annoying start up tune when turned on.

This app does NOT work on AT&T tablets. I read all the comments and even looked under their help option after I installed the app. None of their tips made it work - don't waste your time.

On my Turbo 2 Silent Boot was able to silence the second boot up sound that happens after I decrypt the partition, but it was not able to silence the sound that happened before decription. My phone normally does two boot up sounds, so at least this will limit it to just one sound. Still worth installing. Motorola needs to make it possible to do a true silent boot without rooting.

Thanks Anton, you pushed an option no one expected to have to download so well it became a pre-installed setting. You win!

Samsung S6 - turned volume up to max to test. Powered off. Turned back on and no boot up sound. Mute icon stays up for few seconds and then back to volume before the test. Excellent work. Thanks

Didn't work HTC M7 Android 4.4.3 . Tried ticking the other boxes in settings but that just silenced the phone volume. Never mind. HTC One ain't "Quietly Brilliant" at all.

The app stopped working on an HTC 10 with the upgrade of the OS to version 7, so uninstalled. The question is, is it Nougat that is the problem, or the HTC 10, or what? Still, to be fair, it worked perfectly prior to that. Hopeful that a fix is in the works.

Samsung tab s 4.4.2 - works as advertised with no tweaks needed. Why on earth don't manufactures understand you don't always want an intrusive noise on startup.

Found this while looking for something else. Didn’t think it was possible without rooting it. Works brilliantly using extended mode. Thx very much guys.

All I had to do was enable it. Didn't have too check any more settings. Worked like a charm; the loud startup noise is gone. Thank you!

Worked on my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Active. Silenced the terrible and loud AT&T bootup sound.

Can't understand how this gets such a high rating. Doesnt work on my G4 ...even on extended mode which is supposed to be for those phones where the usual "workaround" doesn't work :-/. Uninstall and try something else.

I like how it doesn't have ads, require so many permissions. Only thing that I request to change is that when I press the options I want a list to show up

Does exactly what it says. Annoying LG G4 sound just went away. Thanks.

If possible add option to also disable vibration when phone is restarted. One can disable vibration from call, and typing( haptic feedback) from sound settings menu, but I cannot find a way to disable vibrate on reboot. Please implement this if possible! Thank you!

AT&T.. NEWSFLASH.. Basically..NO. ONE. WANTS. BOOT. UP. SOUNDS!! Don't really appreciate the bright white and blinding startup logo splash either. Always a fun time in the dark when trying to be discrete. Just hope your carrier branded phone never randomly reboots during a meeting without this app! Works fine on GS6 Active. Things iPhone users never say: "How do you uninstall these carrier apps and sounds?? "

Brilliant app! Got a really annoying and embarrassing start up (and shut down) tune on my work mobile (Hisense) and this kills them both. Well done!

It worked perfectly on my T-Mo Galaxy S4 the first time I used it. Just remember to go to the settings before the first reboot and enable it. But on subsequent reboots, it allows the first note of the music to play before the mute kicks in. Still better than having to hear the whole reboot noise.

Stopped using this when it no longer worked on new phone. Now have a lollipop rooted ; found it works again.

Done a great job muting power off and startup sound. When turned on, only takes a few seconds until the sound is back.

Simple you would think...It should silent start up sounds...nope it does not.

Works perfectly with S4. It's a little scary not hearing the silly tune. Also nice. Beats rooting (for now) which is also scary.

Works great with Samsung Galaxy s6 hate the startup noise. Now I don't have to worry about it anymore

Works perfectly on HTC 1 M8, but it is off after installation. You must turn it on first in settings. Suggestion to developer: enable mute function by default, it's the only reason why a user wants the app. I.e as user I install app and immediately turn off and on phone to see if it works. But of course it won't, as mute function is set to off. You'll make more boot sound frustrated people happy who won't even check the settings, and will automatically assume incorrectly that app doesn't work.

Nothing more annoying than being forced to advertise for the phone company every time you start your phone. Prevents this most admirably. I hate that sound. LOOKING AT YOU, T-MOBILE.

Just installed it and it seems to work on Huawei Ascend 2. Only thing is, the default on the install is to disable the muting which is strange considering that is the purpose of the app. Once the option is enabled though it mutes on shutdown and startup. Thank you!

Startup sounds are so annoying! And it's even more annoying that many stock setups don't let you disable them. This works great on my Samsung Galaxy S5 (Verizon). No problems.

Great App, works well (so far). No more annoying boot sound. Silent mode and Extended mode both 'ticked'. Takes about 30 seconds, after boot, for sound profile to be re-enabled.

Works great on Samsung Galaxy S5 if you check the "Extended mode" option. There are only 4 different settings in the app, and they are all explained on the Help screen (or in the screenshots here in the Play Store).
