[Q] Strange random beeping coming from phone... - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It has happened about 3 times so far that my phone has made a series of loud beeping noises that lasts about 10 seconds with no discernible cause. Changing the volume does not stop it until I put it all the way down into vibrate mode. It almost sounds like it could be ringing but it isn't the ringtone I have set. When it happens, I check my notifications and running apps to no avail. Has anyone else experienced this? This is my first Android phone so it is possible I am doing something wrong. Any ideas?

Same thing here. The beeping starting happening sometimes when I rebooted but now it's been doing it pretty much every time I get a text message and it also randomly replaces my default ringtone when calls come in. It's a loud beeping down that lasts about two seconds and repeats over and over. Sometimes it stops itself after a few cycles but sometimes it will not stop until I acknowledge the notification (opening up the text or answering a cal). It's very annoying. Might have to try a hard reset soon.

Yeah, for some reason it seems the text notification ringtone will change back to that god-awful sound for no reason. Very annoying.

Do you have yurt phone setup to remind you of missed calls and text?

This happens when you've rebooted and gotten a message. Your SD card, containing your ringtone, hasn't mounted yet. The media scanner is running. Following this operation, the ringtone will work once more.

From some few days, strange beeping sound comes sometimes through my phone .When I check my phone there is no notification,& the sounds last for10-12 seconds, please help me if someone knows the reason.My phone is redmi Note 4g

Help: HTC HD Keeps vibrating

Hi All
I also posted this message in the blackstone.
This night my HD started to vibrate at midnight and I cannot stop this. I did first al soft reset, removed the last programs which I had installed yesterday, but this does not solve the problem.
I did then a full reset, but no luck. It still keeps vibrating. When I remove the battery and put it back, does not help. Keeps again vibrating.
Just for the information:
I installed yesterday the Singh's Tings HTC TF3D 15 Tabs EN, ammarTF3D tabs v2 [final] and Diamond Saber Installer and after that the NoTopCurtain.
And so, I do not get it stop vibrating...
Anyone has had the same problem?

Are you saying it vibrates even on Power off ?
All only when power on ?
Try removing all of your PIM data.
What happens if you put it in System and Ringtone Silent mode ?
Yes
Even, when I turn of the device, it keeps vibrating!! When I remove the battery and put it back, It starts again!!
If I put it on silent mode, nothing happens!
I removed the scandisk card, did again hard reset, nothing seems to work!

You say you did a full reset (I guess you meant a Hard Reset), you turned it off, and it doesn't stop. Sounds like a hardware problem to me...
Can't you take it for repair?
It sounds like a loose contact in your HD. If it triggers your device to vibrate then something INSIDE the device (hardware) is broken.
Yes, I had the same problem.
I bought a new HD, it suddenly keeps vibrating just after 5 days.
It's no use to do anything, excpet remove the battery.
Finally, the seller changed a new one to me.
I think it's a hardware problem.
I have my HD set to vibrate as well as make a sound when i receive a new text message. Lately I've noticed that sometimes when i get a message it will vibrate like normal but then continue even after the sound has stopped and keep vibrating. It will stop if i go into the notification settings menu. I don't even change anything and it stops. Weird!!!! Not sure about your situation and cant say that i've experienced that.
Just to inform:
I called the HTC helpdesk and they picked the device up for repair. It can take a few days.

Same here. In the past months, I set my email notification to vibrate. But sometimes when a new message comes, it vibrates forever until I press a button or respond to the notification.

I have the same problem, it´s very annoying when this happens at night.
Sometimes I have another problem with my email notification, my HD mini recieves a new email and it vibrates and plays the ringtone, up until that time everything is ok, but after 1-5 minutes the HD mini vibrates and rings again even I got no new message.
I hope anyone knows how to fix it.

Notification sound delay or choppy

Hey guys
I am using VIN's last stable rom but I've had this issue with NFSFAN's rom's as well. I'd get an email and the phone would vibrate and couple seconds later it would sounds the notification OR it would start the sound notification with the vibrate but would stop near the end and then a couple seconds later finish the tone.
It's very annoying and sounds very "cheap" if you can call it that.
Anyone know about a fix? I don't think turning off vibrate makes any improvements either. During this time those my phone is locked and screen is off.

I do not have that issue. Do you think that maybe you have something else running in the background that may be causing this? Use CleanRam to stop all other processes and try to set up a reminder or something and see if that helps.

Zenwatch seems to vibrate for no reason

Hello, Second day of ownership and I am already having an issue. The watch vibrates, I check it for a notification, nothing there. Awhile later, vibrates again, no notification. Sometimes there is a notification it got from the phone, but 90% of the time it seems to be vibrating for no reason.
I tried to wear it to bed last night but the incessant vibrations were annoying.
Even if it was vibrating when I got a notification,is there a way to tell it not to vibrate for certain hours?
Thanks

Check google fit settings. Mine use to do that but "fit" was buzzing me to get active and get moving. When I told it not to urge me to move the vibrations stopped. good luck?
I don't see Fit on the watch or on my phone? Is it hiding? I went into the watch settings and nothing there for fit? On the phone I have the Wellness app but the option to bug me to move is off so that shouldn't be it. It seems you are on the right track, but I don't know how to find the app?
Thanks

Did you try resetting the watch back to default?
Wellness, just like fit, has a "Remind me to move" feature that will send vibrations. Also, if you have it set to remind you when you forget your phone it will vibrate without any message when it loses connection.

Calls randomly mute when I accidentally leave the ongoing call/phone app screen?

It seems that sometimes my calls get muted when my phone leaves the on-going call screen and switches to a something else/a different app.
Hopefully that makes sense, but I'm not even sure how/when it happens so it's difficult to describe. But basically, randomly, when I'm on a call the other person won't be able hear me. Every time this happens when I look at the screen I'm no longer in the phone app/on-going call screen. Once I swiped down on the notification menu and re-enter the ongoing call they can hear me again.
I've tried to duplicate the behavior by switching apps but can't seem to do so...Has anyone else experienced this? I'm wondering if it has something do with the the automatic do-not-disturb that enables during calls...?
Thanks

[Q] Constant Beeping noise

So this is the 2nd time this has happened to me. I left my phone unattended for 15 minutes and came back inside with some missed notifications-- no big deal. As I cleared the notifications by swiping them away the (new notification sound) beep wouldn't stop. I was able to turn the volume down and start a chat with google from the help and support option, but they couldn't help me. I re-booted and it stopped. What would cause this? My battery level was pretty low-- minus 15%. Has this happened to anyone else??
