Mysterious lame looping chime on my phone. Help - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It goes like this 'duun duun dundun dun dunnnnn dunn dun...' It's driving me mad. Someone must have had experienced this. So far... I played with xposed framework, a couple live wall paper apps most of which I uninstalled... A lot of modules... I cannot for the life of me imagine what is causing this looping music. It's this very young vibrant in touch with nature theme this music. Nonetheless, the fact i have no clue it's origin I'm kinda whiggin out here because I'm not going to turn the phone off until I figure out what it is. So.... anyone know or know of an app that can explain running processes or something? Or something built into android? Thanks. I'll be waiting with this maddening briskly moving nature beat...

Some "William alexander" process maybe? Found a "process scanner" app...

No, that's the author of the process scanner I just used. Look at this:

lookout says I'm okay. How does one track down mysterious audio on an android device?

Does someone else except you also hear the voice?
Maybe u can record the phenomena
Sent from GT-I9500

Working on that. There is a screen record function. Gotta go to work now but phone still on and crazy music still going. Might be the only way. Someone will recognized this crazy tune...

Email app
Mine does the same thing, it is from the built in email app, if you get a new email it has a different sound, but each following email that comes in has a short ring type chime and if you get 5 emails in a row it will chime that many times, so if your getting a lot of junk mail/spam you'll get a lot of jingles..
That's what my issue is anyway, yours may be different, it sounded like a similar issue so i thought i'd share.

Some how crack my screen with out cracking glass?

Hey guys so my 2 year old loves this tablet and uses it more than me. But to learn sign language and of course angry birds
Can I fix it is my question?
It looks fine no cracks in screen at all look at the photo showing the damage under the glass. I think his little foot put just enough pressure on it to break it..

That looks gnarly Dinc
Best bet, look on e-bay or maybe somebody has parted theirs out. You can change it, but maybe it's time to upgrade?

That sucks. You could always get a new one.
Next time don't let a 2 y/o play with such a delicate "toy".

There is a link for part numbers. It was under something like "making the 500 a 501" or something like that. I really can't remember. But I managed to do searches and find it awhile back.
Somebody played with the idea of making an a500 into an a501.
But you'll have to search. It's there.
As far as a web site with acer parts, I know of none.

What is mm-qcamera-daemon?

What is this? This just started today and my battery life has decreased substantially. I downloaded only two apps which were "airdroid" and "reality piano" both were deleted but it is still running.

Have you tried stopping the process and see what happens? It would seem that maybe something you downloaded or installed is either being polled or is polling using the daemon process. Obviously related to the camera or camera driver.
Or maybe you just left your stock camera app running. Check and see what applications you have running and see if any of them are related to the camera.
It stopped after an hour but now my phone is getting pretty hot

have you rebooted to see if the process restarts?
Yea I dont think its on anymore because the time has said 59 mins for a while
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
I'm going to throw a wild guess out there but you downloaded airdroid and reality piano both of which actively use the camera for whatever task they may have so its most likely one of the two.
Reboot your phone, start one of the apps and see if the process starts?
If its reality piano then you're sort of SOL because its main purpose is using the camera
If its airdroid try and disable the process, might stop a few features but the rest should be ok.

The fix only applies to Nexus devices when they get the 4.4.3 update. Each phone manufacturer (or whoever is responsible for updating their firmware) must implement a fix for the bug on their own. Google updates the Nexus devices directly (or supposedly). So Samsung would have to include a fix for specific Samsung phones.

[Q] photos loading at very low quality

I have had the same customer return 3 times because of the issue. In all his apps (facebook, instagram, browser, and more) all pictures being loaded from the web are coming in at low pixelated quality. The first time he came in our Samsung rep was there and said he had no idea why it would do that and after we both looked through the settings we decided to try a factory reset..
That worked for about a day and he returns with the same issue. So we replaced his device. Here it is 2 days later and now he's experiencing the same issue again.
It's not the reception. His wife got the same phone and she has not had any of those issues. He connected to WiFi and it's still coming in at extremely low quality.
What could be the issue?? Is there a setting that's he's getting into that could cause all online photos to render at a low quality?
Attached are screenshots of the issue.

nobody knows???
Nobody knows anything about this? This has been an issue with Samsung devices dating back to the original galaxy s. I've searched all over the web with people posting these exact same issues. And not a single person has been able to come up with any kind of solution or thought about what could be causing this. My own rep has no clue what it could be either. One of the employees had the same issue the other day with her s3. Couldnt figure out why it happened but a simple factory reset fixed the issue. It came back of course. But it seems like it's only effecting Samsung devices. So at least one of you guys here had to of ran into this problem at least once.

UPDATE
it seems to have been caused by switching from and to an lte network. Found out after digging around that a customer with an iPhone 5 reported the same issue. Apparently somewhere along the way to and from lte/3g data compression is an issue. Thanks for all your help guys.......

Same here. Hopefully whatever officer of Samsung made this decision dies painfully and they revert to their old less douchy tactics. Otherwise my money is going elsewhere.
looks like there is no root, without root Light flow doesn't work.

No worries, that can be turned off. Go to settings, security, and chnage some setting from "high" or "tough" or "advanced" (I forget what they called it) to "normal." Once I turned it on "normal" I didn't see that message pop up anymore.
I still need root access, though...
I got the message with security set to normal. The developer has since updated the app and the message no longer appears.

New AOD update.

Just woke up to my AOD being different. I used the large hour with the blue minute and that option is now gone. Is this the version from the note 7?

It is similar to that of the Note 7 but you won't get all the notifications yet. I'm really waiting for the Note 7 features to be on the S7 Edge since this is their only flagship now along with the S7.
It now shows music track info! Works with Google Music, others have said Spotify as well. This is a great unexpected update.

Yeah this update is from the note 7.... But samsung won't just give us all.. There must be something less..!! No notification for third party apps... Why is that Sammy :3

I woke up Friday morning to it automatically updated. I believe you can go to the Samsung app store and manually update it there

Ya hopefully the quick notifications access like note 7 comes through i miss that. This is a great update though
Can anyone post the apk for this. I have been trying to download the update and cant wont have wifi for the next few weeks either.
It doesn't show any of the notifications, I've even cleared cache and Badge Provider cache, still can't get my notifications to show, uninstalled the update, everything works fine.
