How to stop "DROID" announcement when turning on phone?

[garyzel]

I turn my Incredible off at night. Sometimes I need to turn it on early in the morning before my family wakes up. However, shortly after starting it, a loud voice says "DROID" as part of the boot-up process. I want my phone to wake up silently. Can this annoying announcement be turned off somehow? Thanks.

I use an app called, 'Silent Time Lite' so the phone is silenced during particular hours, yet I can choose specific contacts to allow the phone to still ring for a call or text.

Make sure the program strats before you shut off the phone for the night.

Thanks for the suggestion about Silent Time Lite. I was hoping there was a "built-in" way to simply turn this off but will give this a try if not. To me, this is a big oversight and an obnoxious/aggressive marketing ploy if you have to listen to that every time the phone is turned on. Customers should be given a simple way to turn it off in the phone settings.

or you can just put on vibrate/silence the phone right before turning it off.

Hi Tim,

That is definitely a "work around" and not a permanent solution, as it entails more hassle than one should have to go through in this case. However, it does work, and I appreciate the suggestion.

Thanks,
Gary

This is actually the only solution that I know of.  I dont think its a work around.

There is also an app called "Silent Boot" which is specifically for the DROID! announcement when the phone boots up ...this is what was suggested bt HTC.

Its a simple app, its just one question you check/uncheck.

Thank you! Silent Boot is just what I was looking for. It works perfectly and simply -- no more annoying Droid announcement on startup!

I do not find this app.  Help !

I just checked and the app is still there. Go to the Android Market and search for "Silent Boot" by Anton Weber.
