    I dont mind the water drop sound but it really annoys me when im on a call. My ear on the screen causes it to happen and it cant be stopped unless its disabled all together. Why cant Samsung disable it only when on a call.

      Hi Mark,
      You may want to try to enable speakerphone or use hands free headset while you're on a call, so your ear will not touch the screen.
      By the way, I really like your words, seems you are a very pleasant person :)

      Hi Sarah Mandal,
      Thanks for coming here.
      Due to I don't know much about the Samsung Galaxy Grand, I can't help you lot. But, try to check, did you use live wallpaper on your phone? If so, change the wallpaper to the static one. The live wallpaper usually will turn off ripple effect though if you have enable it before.
      Hope this helps :)

    I updated my s3 and now whenever I get a text, a waterdrop sound goes off. I've tried personalizing it to my own sound but then it makes the waterdrop sound AND my personalized sound. I've tried everything I can think of but the one sound will not go away. Please help.

      Hi Jennifer Healy,
      Thanks for coming.
      If you're running with the Android 4.3, you can turn off the lock screen effect by going to Settings> tap My device tab> tap Lock screen> tap Unlock effect> select "None". Or if you wish to keep the ripple effect, but wants to get rid the sound, you can do so by going to Settings> tap My device tab> tap Sound> clear the checkbox next to "Screen lock sound" to disable sound in the lock screen.
      Hope this helps :)

      Hi. I appreciate your help, but you didn't understand what I was saying. I meant whenever I get a text, locked screen or not, I get a "Dew drops" notification sound. I tried to change that by going to settings> select ringtone, and picked which one I wanted. Now I get "whistle" plus "Dew drops". I even selected "Silent", hoping it would get rid of if, with no success. I don't want to hear the dew drop, I just want the notification I selected. If you can figure this out, you'd be my hero. Thanks! :)

      Hi Jennifer Healy,
      Thanks for getting back here.
      And ohh, I'm so sorry for my misunderstanding.
      Well, did you use another third-party Messaging app? If so, set silent the notification in another third-party Messaging app you use on your phone. If not, seems you have accidentally turning on the SMS in Hangouts app. So, try to turn off SMS in Hangouts app by opening Hangouts app> tap the Menu key then select Settings> tap SMS> clear the checkbox next to "Turn on SMS" option to disable SMS in Hangouts app. Once you've done, try to send SMS to your phone and then see whether the problem is still there or not.
