I'm stumped. I was on Slimkat 4.4.4 and a few days ago this chirping sound started. I'm not a big notification guy. As I can't have the audio disturbance in my line of work. I use lights mostly. A few days ago this sound, a chirp came out of the phone. Then another. Then another. It wouldn't stop. I pulled down the notification bar. Nothing there. I have NEVER had any roaming notification turned on for my device. I'd been running Slimkat for months with zero bugs. I have no idea what could be causing this chirping notification.
Sometimes it will go off every second for about a minute. Perhaps 70-75 seconds. Then I won't hear from it again for 20 minutes. Then it'll maybe chirp 5 times. This time randomly. Chirp. 10 seconds pass. Chirp. 1 second. Chirp. 5 seconds pass. Chirp. Then nothing for an hour. It was also not a notification sound I'd ever heard on the system before. Weird.
So I figure some bug has crept up or I've installed something that is acting up. Since I'd been planning on going to SlimLP why not now with this annoying mystery noise. So I factory reset, wipe data, cache, format system install SlimLP. Lo and behold, at the welcome screen of SlimLP, before I log into any account on the fresh install, the chirp. Any ideas? There is never any notification listed as having gone off. I downloaded a notification history app. Nothing listed in that app. Even as the sound goes off with a the app open. Nothing registered. No app registers as causing it. I'm completely stumped. If anyone has seen this before I would love to hear from you.

I had my Surround lock up twice today requiring me to remove the battery. Once while searching in the marketplace and another when I was typing in a text message. Anyone else have any freezes yet?
I'm only on day 2 with mine, but so far no freezes here.
i've had mine since nov 8th and i haven't had any freezes yet. has it done anything else?
I had a couple freezes 2 days after buying it requiring me to pull the battery once, but other than that, its been running every day since then without a reboot just fine.
I did install several applications from the marketplace which did not work until i booted the phone so perhaps that had something to do with it. Made me wish for a stylus and a reset switch though! Some things never change...
Mine just froze one time after downloading a program and I think it had to do with low signal strength so the download hung then the phone was frozen. Other than that smooth as can be.

I've had the Market freeze a few times on me too, but that's it so far...and I did pull the battery
Ive got a new one for you. The microphone on mine stopped working.... I was in the middle of a call and I could hear "hello...hello..." but he couldn't hear me. I did a power cycle and still no go. So I took the battery out and restarted it and it decided to work again. Now the battery was pretty low, but not dead you think that the noise cancelation crap in the phone could stop working with a low battery?? That was a new one for me
Constant Freezes and Reboots
Mine began locking up after I installed about 20 apps in one day. Then it would randomly reboot itself. Then it got bad, It would reset to default: no apps installed, no accounts, no contacts. But the wierd thing is, randomly it would come back with all my settings. I contacted HTC throug email and got a reply within 20 minutes. Told me to do Hard Reset because OS got corrupt somehow. Hold Volume Up & DOWN while powering ON. Options come up on screen to Hard Reset. I have since reinstalled every app as before and it works flawless now. Loving my Surround!!
I had my first reboot today, I was typing in a text message and it hung on the letter "I" then when dark after 30 seconds or so. It immediately botted back up and has been fine ever since. Strange...
I'm having a sporadic problem with my xcover that i cannot diagnose. It happens very randomly, sometimes a few times a day, sometimes only 1 time in weeks. The phone functions normally and at some point i cannot wake the screen anymore, and then shortly after it freezes to the point that i need to hard restart it. So when this happens, none of the buttons do anything, so for example if i get a call the phone will ring for a bit with the screen black, me unable to do anything, then after a few seconds it freezes (if i try to call me it goes to voice mail) or if the alarm sounds i cannot stop it only if i pull out the battery, it just keeps playing at full volume with a black screen which is not responsive to the touch.
It's very frustrating that i cannot save any logs because i have to restart the phone in order to use it, and by then the problem is gone. I eliminated all the apps, so its not an app causing this. And its absolutely nothing specific that i'm doing to it. One time i just woke it up, unlocked it, looked at the clock, locked it, and when i went to wake it up again after 2-3 minutes, nothing, gone, completely unresponsive. Also, if i plug it in it makes the sound that its charging. Waiting does nothing, i tried to let it be for more the half an hour and its still the same. And it goes without saying battery is draining a lot faster when its in this 'dead' mode.
The rom with which it happens is the pre-rooted S7710XXAMB6_S7710OXEAMB3-20130713 stock rom.
Anybody has any clue?

Same thing happen to me. I have stock rom S7710XXAMB5
What shuld I do?
also same problem
my XCover2 has the same problem. Last Week 2 to 4 times a day.
Maybe I try to reflash....
Starting today I at times get some melody that sounds a bit like that Samsung bootup sound, but longer, maybe 10 seconds - and it keeps getting repeated, killing my nerves.
Went into application manager, but wasn't able to identify the culprit, and to my annoyance I wasn't even able to stop it at all (except for by reboot)! Battery stats showed a lot of drain by media server, but it wasn't in the process list. A friend suspected Timely to be the cause of it, but uninstalling that alarm and clock app didn't stop the melody. After another reboot the tablet remained silent - until a minute ago, when I plugged the power plug into its jack. [emoji35]
Anybody here having a hint for me? I'd really appreciate!

Your tab is haunted. ......lel
Just kidding not sure what could be making that. Do you have any sort system sounds enabled? Try leaving System Sounds off and media and notifications on, and so on so at least you get an idea of where its coming from
Sent from my Nokia Lumia 1520
Hm. Muting notifications makes the sound go away, muting system sounds doesn't.
Is there some tool like lsof for Android?
Silly question, of course it's available.
But - the output doesn't show ogg/wav/mp3
Any hints what to look for?
sounds like an app is trying to push through a notification that might not be coming through. I would try (i know its a pain) deleting and re installing some of the apps that you may have installed around the time the noise started occurring. I had turned off notifications for an app that still managed to do a pop up notification for a game i play (settings still showed notifications off). I had to force stop and wipe the cache and it never did it again.
Hm. Do you think wiping the whole system cache will do as well?

It's worth a shot. You could also just do factory reset
I had a similar problem and it was the Yahoo! mail app, which was configured to play a notification sound when messages were received, but not to show anything in the status bar, which was making me crazy because I did not know why the device was playing a sound without nothing visibly happening. Hope it'll help. Cheers!
This just started happening to me today and it is different from the speaker snap/pop bug (I get that one also). I was playing a game and the sound kept cutting out, every 10-15 seconds it would cut out maybe one second of sound. I figured it was just the app, force closed it, tried again, persisted. Next I reboot the phone, still there. Next I try a different app, I opened up google play and started a song, still cutting out.
So now I have a practically brand new phone that can't play more than 10 seconds of audio at a time.
Anyone have any ideas on something else I can try?
Happened to me too.(pop thing/spark sound) Happens before a notification or app sound right? About a week ago i finally went to Best Buy and exchanged it. A few days later this Moto Z Force starts popping too i discovered it takes a few days or a week for the popping to break in with new devices.
Later today the popping sound quit magically after i called Motorola and told them to Put this issue into their SORUM issues bank. To play it safe I'd return your device. Motorola says they will replace it up till a year unlimited if the problem keeps occurring.

That's a new one. Unfortunately you need to try a factory reset and if it persists after that you can warranty it.
So even though this persisted through a few reboots, it randomly stopped. So as of now my phone audio is back to normal. (the speaker pops still happen though)
Hi folks,
I let my phone (6T, international version, completely stock never rooted), update to Android 11 this morning.
One thing is bugging me so far: at random times, I'll get brief flashes of some other window popping up momentarily (too fast for me to see what it is), and then it goes away. But it throws games into pause mode and takes me out of the flow.
What's causing this and how do I turn it off?
Welll this is not a normal behavior, so noone know why and how. Seems android 11 is not yet stable for us. I rolled back to android 10 on my 6T mclaren
Progress update: this problem seems to have resolved itself. I think it may have had to do with each app gradually settling in. A few reboots and some hours later the phone seems stable, though I'm having a few smaller issues like my phone icon left my home screen, I've now got TWO "Contacts" apps, and other minor stuff.
More update... the popups are back. I think they happen frequently after a reboot then settle down over time. I will keep an eye on it and report back anything I find in case it helps others.
Partial solution: I filmed what was going on in slow motion and despite my hand being in the way I saw the popup said "Gallery kee" presumably "Gallery Keeps Closing" or something like that. I don't use the Gallery app so I disabled it in Settings\Apps. Let's see if the problem keeps up. Maybe other apps are also contributing, and I'll have to address them one by one.
After a full day and another reboot for unrelated reasons, I can confirm that disabling the Gallery app fixed the problem. Not a single popup since I disabled it. Since I never use Gallery, only Google Photos, for me it's no loss. Probably a cache wipe would have sufficed as well. I did a a full cache wipe today to address a Gmail issue, and at some point I'll re-enable Gallery and see if the problem recurs despite the cache wipe.
