HOWTO: Disable wireless charging complete sound

As anyone who uses wireless charging with the S3 knows, it's a huge convenience as well as hugely annoying at times. Whenever wireless charging starts or stops, the screen wakes up and you get an annoying 'ding' (my wife calls it 'boop-boop') sound. The problem is that once the battery reaches 100%, wireless charging stops, you get the ding, and then 5 minutes later (sometimes 5 seconds later) you get the ding again when the battery drops to 99% and charging resumes.

Needless to say, listening to these 'boop-boops' all night long had my wife ready to launch my phone out the window. There didn't seem to be any easy fix- no ROMs address this, and the system volume had no effect on the sound.

The way I took care of this was to simply kill that stupid 'boop-boop' audio file. It's located at /system/media/audio/ui/Charger_Connection.ogg.

You'll need to be rooted for this. Use Root Explorer or ES Explorer to navigate to the directory above. Be sure to mount /system as RW. Then simply rename that file to Charger_Connection.ogg.bak. Unfortunately this doesn't stop the screen from turning on, but it's a good start. Enjoy!
