[Q] Phantom notification sounds - every 5/10/15mins - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else getting the whistling notification sound (the default sound) coming from the phone, but no actual notifications on it?
It keeps whistling at me for no reason.
Yesterday evening it was doing it like clockwork every 15mins, but sometimes after 10mins. By night time it was sometimes every 5mins, driving me mental!
I disabled Gmail, Email, disabled most of the funky control functions (like "Air xxxx" and "xxx motion") and it still does it.

No sound but was getting random vibrations however they seem to have stopped now. Unsure why.

I've had some phantom notifications too, but only the odd one. I was thinking it was something to do with my pebble but maybe it wasn't after all.

I have the same issue and its really irritating... Sound notification without any trace of what program is notifying. I have tried with apps that log the notifications , but it does not even show up there. My workaround, put standard notification to "quiet" and set specific other notification sounds for the apps you do want notification from. Could be done in the apps, or in for example light flow app.

Not had this problem yet, been using mine for about 2 days now, the only other apps that I have that would give me notifications is whatsapp and Facebook, maybe something you've installed?

£620 machine needs to work without workarounds.
Looks like I need to reset and install apps gradually.

Check Settings under "accessibility"
there is an option for:
Reminder of Notifications all 5, 10, 15 minutes
turning off

The new gmail does this, since it has tabs for social promotions and forums and.primary and whatnot,it will only generate a notification for the primary inbox but the other inboxes still make a.sound even without the notification. This might be what your experiencing, I get this.on.my HTC one
Possibly even a.combination.of this and the.notification reminder setting

This option is not available on Moto X (VZW). I'm seriously sick of these notifications.

chime sound with no notification.

Strange tone every now and then

Hi, I'm sorry if this has already been brought up by someone.
Every now and then I hear an unknown notification for something. I can't find what application is doing this and it's obviously something you can't set at the normal sound settings menu (all the tones I've selected for receiving SMS, ActiveSync, WiFi networks or any other app are different). It must be some kind of system notification, but I can't find out what is causing it, because it happens when I'm not even touching the phone.
(BTW, I have the LED notification installed, and it doesn't light up when this tone sounds).
does it sound a little bit like a bird tweeting? the twitter tab makes that sound when it auto updates.
Thanks for your quick reply!
Yeah, I've thought about that, because I thought it was Twitter in the first place, but I've checked and there were no new tweets when I checked after hearing the sound.
(But thanks a lot, it definitely is the Twitter notification sound, I just checked!). Now when does it sound... that's the question
It makes it even if there are no new tweets, it's just to tell you it has checked.
Well, ok then. But then it's not very consistent, because it should check every 5 minutes and I don't get notifications every 5 minutes

Sound notification problem?

Right,
It seems that sometimes I am getting problems with my sound notifications. Basically the SMS or Email notification sometimes works fine, like normal. Then other times, I get a SMS or Email come through on my HD2, but the sound notification doesn't go off? I don't have the phone on silent, nor vibrate. So I Have to reset the HD2 in order for the notifications to work again.
Anyone else coming across this problem? If so, how did you get "around" it?
Cheers.
Bump.......

Have you changed the manila language?
No, I can only understand English, so wouldn't have changed the language settings in Manila.
Go to:
Settings>All settings>Sounds & Notifications>Notification Tab.
And see what you can do with all those settings there,it took me some time to customize them all to my liking,it is working very well now.

All the same settings since I set the phone up from new (about 2 weeks ago).
Dunno what it is, but I can remember I used to have the same problem on my HTC Kaiser (aka : MDA Vario III)
Grr..
Do you use the 3.5mm jack often? (ie. headphones, speakers, etc. for listening to music/movies) If so, when you unplug them from your phone, your sound settings will automatically turn off/slient. Not necessarily silent or vibrate mode, just off/lowest volume setting. This has been happening to me since day one even with custom ROM. Don't know how else to fix it. I just always change the volume settings right after I unplug.

I've found that since upgrading to the most recent T-Mobile ROM on the website, when I get a text or email the phone will play all of the message or email alert, even if I open the text or email, it continues! Very annoying.

Notification sounds stop working. (Bug found)

Is anyone else having an issue in which notification sounds stop working after about an hour after the Xoom was booted?
I have rebooted it several times and keep having the same issue. After about an hour, the notification sounds no longer play, but the notification light will still blink. The clock alarm notification sounds still work at all times though.
I have tried changing the notification sounds on the apps but it has no effect. When it happens, all app notification sounds stop working. The only unaffected app is the Alarm Clock sound.
Reason (Bug found):
Ok, so after a lot of testing. I found what causes this bug.
I have 2 gmail accounts that I use for mail. So I set up 2 GMail Widgets on the home screen. One for each account, obviously. The problem happens after both accounts have received mail and the mail is accessed through clicking on the mails in the widgets to bring up the full gmail client. It doesn't matter if the accounts have both received mail at the same time or hours apart.
I did find that as long as you never open gmail through the widgets, the notification sounds keep working. I sent myself mails about once an hour to both accounts for over 8 hours using gmail on a PC. During this time, I simply listened for the notification sound after each email was sent. Every one worked perfectly, until after I opened the a mail item in each of the gmail accounts on the Xoom using the widgets. Then, I no longer received the notification sounds.
Now during all the times of testing, the notification light always works. Regardless of the notification sound. Also, sound within applications were never affected. However, when the notification sounds stopped going off due to this gmail widget bug, none of my applications notification sounds worked anymore.
After the notification sound bug kicks in, the only way to remedy it is to shut down the tablet and reboot.
Reason found and put into post above.
I have the opposite happening to me. My light won't blink on Gmail notifications but the sound works just fine. I've done multiple reboots too. Good find on what may be causing the bug though.

I am currently experiencing this issue but I dont have two gmail account widgets and after a reboot I still do not get any sound notifications.
I do have a gmail and an email widget. Perhaps I will remove both and reboot.
I am running Team EOS 3 (latest nightly)
Thanks

Stop repeating in alerts in any stock ROM?

I have noticed that for the stock messaging app, that it repeats the alerts over and over again. It seems to repeat the alert about 1 minute after a new email and then eventually settles down to about every 15 minutes. It will do this forever until you clear the notification. This is extremely annoying particularly at night.
I cannot find anywhere in the menus to disable repeat alerts which seems crazy. Am I missing something?
This does not happen to me
Have you installed any other messaging apps? Even if you have uninstalled it, I've had my notifications messed up. Also, do you have any widgets which display your messages?
Good luck.

No notification sound? (CM7)

I just recently freed my brother from a stock rom and set him up with CM7. He's loving it so far, except his notification founds are no longer working. I've checked all volume levels, made sure he's not using a notification sound that no longer exists. He only gets the vibration, but no sound. Also, if you select a notification noise, it plays the demo just fine, just not as an actual notification.
Any ideas what's causing this?
Did you check the i would assume texting app to make sure its not set to silent?

Yessir, i checked both the texting (stock cm7) notification and the email notification. both have sounds assigned and are at full volume.
So when is the notification NOT going off? IE for a text, email, message from a social app, ect.

I tested everything you mentioned, texts, mms, email, facebook, twitter. He uses AVG for antivirus and normally it'll chime after scanning a new/updated app. That's not happening either. It will, however, vibrate each time instead of a chime. Very odd.

Have you tried reflashing the rom? I've had that happen to me once, and that fixed it. And for sound not to be working is odd, most time its vibrations that gives people issues.
