Anyone having notification tone issues? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I haven't added or changed any apps recently. But today, my phone has started sounding the default notification tone about every 3 minutes or so, any time I have a notification icon on my phone. Sometimes even when there's no icon displayed. The only way I've been able to get it to stop is to turn off ALL notifications in ALL apps.
Has anyone ever seen anything like this before, or have any idea what I might look at?
Thanks.

You can try to silent the sound settings/sound/silent

um....why not restart .-. could just be a glitch what are your installed apps if u dont mind me asking.....

I've restarted multiple times. I'm not exactly new at this. Restarting did nothing. As I said, the only way to stop it is to turn off all notifications.
However, after trying lots of things, I used the "Reset settings" option in the Backup and Restore menu. That seems to have resolved it. I still have no idea what triggered it, as I haven't change any settings in weeks.

Yeah, that might have worked, but I didn't want to silence all notifications, just the meaningless, repeated sound that didn't appear to be tied to anything specific.

Alarm Clock Nightmare

I did do a quick search, but couldn't find owt, but can't believe I'm the only person with problem.
I use the supplied Clock & Alarms for my alarm clock, but sometimes if I'm using something else on the phone, or already have notifications like missed calls when my alarm is due to go off, if will still sound, and vibrate, but won't come up with a message about it. Giving me no option to turn the thing off!!!
So it will go off fow a minute or two, then go quiet, then every five minutes will repeat, again with no message.
Even if I reset the device it will still continue.... I either have to wait for a message to come up, which can take 30+minutes, or if I get really annoyed with it clean reset it :-/
If anyone does know how I can get rid of this error, or what file I can load to give me the message, it will be much appreciated!!!
alarms and repeating alarms are well known to be highly unreliable.
spb pocket plus has an add in to assist with repeating alarms, but I never found it much help.
may i suggest you dont repeat them, this is a big problem.
mine got so bad after a while I had no choice but hard reset. it messed up all the system notifications and just became plain unreliable.
Yes, I've had exactly the same problems and also with Spb Pocket Plus repeating alarms too.
I've since disabled this option which has made things bettr but still not perfect

at least your alarm goes off, mine does not. an expensive device like the xda exec and a simple thing like the alarm wont work after new o2 rom update
:? :?
Does that mean if I use alarms, but don't select "repeat sound", that may be better?
I upgraded to the i-Mate ROM, and TWICE now the notification queue has died for the calupd.exe and calnot.exe. Adding appointments with alarms make no additions to the notification queue, hence I miss all my alarms.
The only fix so far has been to hard reset, and wait for the next time the notification queue dies.
Are you using Sprite Backup?
I found it to be the culprit and I have switched to SBP Backup now.
Sprite CRMdesk will give you a patch "PostBootPopup.exe" if requested that helps the problem. It solves the many notifications in the queue that can't be cleared or dismissed normally. But the issue of not waking for any alarms remained for me with Sprite 5 - even with this patch.
works perfect for me!
I just added my own sound file which has a little more agressive waking properties ;-)
If you're stuck with an invisible alarm you cant get rid off, you can use scarybear's "check notifications" proggie and take out the notification which has messed up....

But be warned, if you are careful it can work, but I got aggressive and frustrated.
The only, hard reset. There are some you can, some you cant.
Bewarned.

Phone Settings and Reminder settings not sticking

All of a sudden, my XDA no longer saves settings for my phone or for reminders. For example, I have to constantly change my ringer to Vibrate and Ring, then (after a reboot I'm assuming) it changes back to just Ring.
For reminders, Flash Light and Play Sound (one of the most important things!) have to keep getting rechecked after a reboot. I'd rather not rebuild as I have a LOT of apps on this device.
Does anyone know of reg settings or any other way to get this to stop resetting?
Thanks in advance,
Marc

Im having the same problem i think!
My phone keeps vibrating without playing a ringtone, even though its set to "Vibrate and ring".
it's like its always on "vibrate mode", no matter what i try to do.
what rom are you using??
I am using the O2 ROM upgrade straight from their site. It was fine for the longest time; just noticed it about a week ago.
It could be something in your notification queue, this is the cause of most alarm/reminder/profile problems. I recently posted a long and detailed HOWTO for anyone that needs to fix or just spring clean their notification queue, check it out:

Lollipop Notifications - Snooze - Long Press (How to restore)

Hello all
I seem to have a spot of bother, I had two notifications on my device.
I Long Pressed the notification until the screen changes, Giving you a option to Snooze or press the little "i" button.
When you press Snooze, how the hell do you get your notification back?
I use Rotation to force all into Landscape.
I done the Snooze on the apps notification, and i cannot get it to re-appear, I use the notification as a quick toggle to change from Force to Auto
I also done it on ShareKM
and i cannot get neither of them Back.
Even when i go to:
Settings / Sound & Notification / App Notifications
WHen i configure to allow Heads up etc, Still nothing.
Not even after a reboot.
Its obviously not a Snooze button, its more of a Here hide this notification FOREVER!!!
Anyway has anyone got a little more experience with how this works?
I dont want to have to re-flash for the sake of 2 notifications lol

Nope never found a fix. I eventually just re flashed the ROM because I disabled SMS notifications and didn't have a choice. Now I'm being very careful around that button.

Bummer, guess that will be me as well
unsnoozing notifications
I suppose this is too late, but perhaps it can help someone else. I found the option to remove the notification snooze (or filter) under privacy.
Go to settings, privacy, and then filter notifications. You'll need to delete the app in the list. I had to reboot for my changes to take effect.

Separate notification volume from ringtone?

This is the main thing that annoys me on this phone, there is no separation of the notification volume from the ringtone. I tried multiple apps on the play store, none of which worked correctly.
1. Set all notification sounds to none
2. Lots of apps still play sounds, wtf
3. Go into each app and turn sounds and vibrate off
4. Google apps still play sounds, wtf
5. Go into each google account, per app, and turn off sounds and vibrate off
6. Sounds still play from "system" events like plugging in the phone, unplugging it, turning mute off, etc
I would like no notification sounds ever anywhere anytime.
When you get any notification from this application that annoy you,pull down notification bar,hold long press on notification and chose more options,and you have many with options to:
Turn off on sound
Turn on off vibrate
Change sounds..
I cant remember what else have, I took a screenshot shot when I get first notification..
For every app you can set how ever you want

Thanks immensely. That was really helpful. Just continuing my phone setup and tried all kinds of settings but couldn't lose the notification sound. Now it's silent. Ahhhhhhh peace at last. :good:

Constant notification tone when up/downloading

Recently started using the 8pro, first time with a OnePlus so just working my way around its peculiarities.
One thing I've noticed which is incredibly annoying is that when uploading or downloading anything at all, I get a constant repeating notification tone until it is complete.
This happens when sending vids on WhatsApp and downloading files on Google so it doesn't seem to be one particular app responsible.
Anybody else experiencing this and know how to fix it?
I don't really want to individually switch notifications off for WhatsApp everytime I want to up/download something, etc.
I also have this issue, also everytime I use Whatsapp on my computer, the phone beeps.
Everytime a notification refresh, ding.
It's very annoying and only thing I found is to mute the phone .
1. Longpress the downloading notification.
2. Click the gear in the top right.
3. Click on downloads.
4. Click advanced.
5. Click sound.
6. Change sound to "none".
