"chirp" and beeping sound coming from phone - LG V20 Questions & Answers

Just the other day I was sitting at my desk with my phone and it let out a strange chirp noise, hard to describe but I was very confused as so what it was. It did it again later that night. Today while driving home streaming music over Bluetooth and it did it 4 or 5 times randomly and it played over my car speaker.
The weird thing happened tonight, sitting on my couch, I start to hear a high pitched beeping sound, and I can't tell where it's coming from, I grab my phone and hold it to my ear and sure enough it's the phone. It only went on for less than a minute then stopped. I have no idea what would cause this, no new apps have been installed. Anyone else experiencing something like this?

maybe aliens are trying to contact you. just kidding jay. I haven't encountered that issue yet. Sounds like the issue is coming from the QDAC. you should make a video recording when it happened next time, then return it to LG and show them the video.

Have you auto updated your audio app recently?

That's weird

It's happening to me too. Just did it about 5 min ago for the 2nd time since I've had the phone. Very annoying.

My LG V20 is doing the same thing. Randomly beeps for 30 seconds or so. It even does it when I'm talking on the phone but the person I'm talking to doesn't hear it. My phone is only like 2 months old. What do I do to fix it?

Any further developments on this issue?
My LG V10 started beeping last night after a battery change. 8 beeps, short pause, repeat. Responds to decreasing the "music, audio, video" volume. Stops if I make a call. Begins again at call end. Continues for an indefinite amount of time then stops. Switched the battery back and tried others. Beeping began again after powering up. Once immediately, once later on. Did this 4 or 5 times last night, 3 times thus far today. Always 8 rhythmic beeps, a pause, and repeat. My phone also started (about a month ago) failing to charge using aftermarket chargers. Will charge fine using stock LG chargers. I've got screen artifacts too, maybe its just time for a Note 8
I meant to add... AT&T. Upgraded to the "new" software that came out today (beeping occurred before and after).
EDIT: Just started beeping again, I pulled up YouTube, started a video, and the beeping stopped when the video audio started...
EDIT 2: Now, twice, for no reason, random audio has played from my phone... once for 4 or 5 seconds, sounded like a commercial. Second time for just a second, not music. No active apps that had any video or audio playing... Beginning to think my LG V10 is possessed

This has happened to me on my H918 before but each time it was when I was using a modded mixer_paths_tasha.xml file to have louder notifications.

Have you tried a factory reset? If it does it after that I would imagine it would have to be a hardware problem then

Not yet. Dread having to do that even more than upgrading.
Never had to factory reset an android. Did with iphones back in the day. I'm thinking that may be the only option to save the phone at this point.
Timing could not be more spot on... Make my last payment on the V10 this month.
On the bright side, if I did upgrade, I would not notice an increased payment... it would just replace the monthly payment on the LG.
.

mine started tonight i went to charge it and it started pingpong sound it never has done this before so i unplugged my charger and it stopped

If anyone still looking, just go to sounds and uncheck touch and screen lock sounds
Edit : its still beeping while playing youtube videos!

**NEW** Fresh 2.0d phone call glitch

Running Fresh 2.0d
Running apps2sd 2.5
I had an alarm set to go off today and about 30 seconds before the alarm went off I received a phone call. Amazingly, this had never happened to me before.
When the alarm went off, the phone sounded like it was receiving signals from aliens attacking. High pitch screeeeeeeeeeches up and down.
I have since duplicated this event with the same results.
Both receiving phone calls and making a phone call.
NOTE: The other phone does not hear the sounds being emitted.
I don't know if this will happen on any other roms.
Happens all the time, your phone is just possessed.
I suggest calling an exorcist or the Ghost Busters immediately.
I have this happen often. Ill accidentally hit snooze , get on the road later and it will happen mid-call while driving (hear it thru hands-free) and it will scare the hell out of you. Sometimes it locks up everything and the only way to stop it is to pull the battery (which is fun to try while driving-yeah, i know).
I have nothing else for you except I know your pain.
I wish it didn't happen. I also want a unicorn.
I didn't have that happen, but I got a phone call at the exact same time my alarm started going off. When I tried answer the phone it locked up and froze. I had to pull the battery. And it's suppose to multi-task.

Can't Hear

Hi I am having an issue with my Evo where first couple of times the callers can't hear me. It usually goes away after 2 times but then if the phone sits around for about 40-60 minutes then it seems like the cycle starts over again.
I was using Fresh 3.3.0.1, but then I switched to CM 6.1 hoping that the issue would go away, but its still there. Anyone have something similar or know how I can solve this.
That happens to me about half the times I use the updated Voice Search app to call a number. No problems otherwise.
hmm..I wonder if I should get the phone unrooted and fixed by Sprint...its really annoying...

Problems

I got the Atrix on Wednesday an am already considering returning it. I love the hardware. As a "phone" it's great, call quality, volume, clarity....all excellent. GPS is spot on perfect.....but I keep having strange problems.
Firstly the screen just randomly stops responding until I hold the power button down/restart. This has happened 5 times since Wednesday and I can't figure out what's causing it.
Secondly I have lost data connection 2 times and had to reboot to get it back, I noticed a few other people have had this problem as well.
Thirdly, tonight I lost all cell signal in a spot where I normally have near full 3G, I waited for about 20 minutes to see if it would come back up....after it didn't I rebooted and was back to full signal.
Lastly.....and this just happened....I got a text message and instead of playing the notification alert it has always used it picked a random mp3 and played the whole thing.
Is the phone possessed or what? Am I the only person who is having these kind of problems?
I have experienced none of these. I'd take it back.
Take it back. None of those here either

[Q] Bluetooth Turns itself off after 5-10 mins?....HALP :(

Evening all!,
Wondering if anyone else is having this issue with their note 3?
(i have the EU Snapdragon 800 version - sim free)
Everytime i turn my bluetooth on, it picks up on all devices in the area and connects fine.
HOWEVER... after around 5-10 mins, even if using the relevant bluetooth device, The Note 3 just turns bluetooth off and severs the connection, forcing me to manually turn it on again....
its currently driving me batty!! as i cant use my MOGA pro pad to play any games without it just dropping half way through and when playing music through my headset or speaker, it just stops the music dead...
this is nigh on a device breaking issue for me but coudl just be me doing something stupid (spent a good long while searching forums and cant find anything).
anyone else have this? or able to fix it?
cheers all!!
OK - I have just sat down and timed it... almost at EXACTLY 15 MINS, Bluetooth turns itself off if connected to ANY device. just had music playing through a bluetooth speaker - 15 mins - speaker gives disconnect noise and BT now off on device.
with the amount of bluetooth devices i use, this is making the phone almost un-useable. gotta wait till monday before i can talk to anyone at samsung and pretty sure they wont have a clue or will just ask for the phone to be sent away...
ANYWAYS. ill keep an eye on here if ANYONE can give any pointers as to what this might be?.
cheers again and hope to hear from you all
UPDATE - tried same speaker setup again right after and bluetooth quit out after 27 mins this time so it isnt consistent every time it gives up... this is sooo frustrating....
Is it possible you have a bum BT radio in your GN3?

Ive been messing around with it today and came to actually fix the problem by mistake!.
its the old "I.T Crowd" solution ...
i turned it off, turned it on again and problem fixed!..
proper weird, though that was the first time i have turned the device off since buying so must've just been a bit twitchy.
either way, happy as Larry now!

I am having the same issues now that you described earlier. I have had this phone since the beginning of October and no issues at all until about 3 days ago when BT started shutting down constantly. I have not timed it specifically but it is in the 10 to 15 minute rnage when it forces me to turn it back on. This is driving me nuts.
I have shut it off and turned back on with no luck. powered it off, removed the battery, let sit for a while and repeat. Same issue although at times it seems to be inconsistent. I did get the new Sony SmartWatch 2 so I am constantly loosing connection and reconnecting manually with it. I have had that for 2 weeks but only started having issues a few days ago.
Any other ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
Did you try wiping cache partition?
BT switches off exactly every 3 minutes
I've tried rebooting and switching off and on again to no avail!

[Pixel 4] Suddenly no ringing sound, no notification sound, no sound on speakerphone

It started suddenly after a week on the January update, but I downgraded to Dec update and still have the same issues, meaning it's a hardware defect. Already reported this to google. Anyone else?
Had similar issue
I had a similar issue since yesterday. Tried booting into the safe mode to check if any third party app is doing it( If you wanna try that hold the power button then touch and hold the power icon on the screen). If it still stays it is a hardware issue you need to get it repaired. I just gave my phone to Ubreakfixit
Yes it is a hardware issue. Safe mode, factory reset, downgrading the software did not work.
This just happened to me this morning.
what is going on? this literally just happened to me too this morning. I can make calls via whatsapp/facebook etc, but if I try to call anyone it just says "calling" but there's no sound, eventually it cuts off. If someone tries to call me, the phone doesn't ring and I just get the sms saying there's a message in my voicemail. It says I'm on the 4g network, I can send sms messages and wifi works fine. If I have to ship the phone anywhere I'm ****ed, I'll have to buy another phone as a spare :crying:

It appears the bottom speaker just burnt out. Hundreds of other people have the same issue across all pixel models.

Looks like I'm one of the lucky ones. I had to go out and soon as I got to the next town a call came in, so I tested making more calls and it worked fine there. Upon returning home the issue returned. I figured it's gotta mean something is up with my provider or the nearby antenna so asked a few friends who live near me and a neighbour. Turns out they all have the same issue. I'll have to wait it out now and see if they fix it. The wierd part is 4g data and sms work fine and I've still got full signal strength or I'd have assumed that right away.

That sounds more plausible than hundreds of Pixels bottom speaker burning out all of a sudden. When the call supposedly comes in does it show on the screen or just go directly to voicemail? That would be the initial test of the speaker. Does it play music, can you hear notifications? Every once in a while that happens to me and then I just try again a mile or so down the road and it connects fine. If you have wifi calling you can try that too.

No, it was the service provider in the end. My whole town had the issue for a couple days. The company (movistar) have fixed it now so I can make calls and recieve them no problem. To say I was relieved is an understatement.
Bottom speaker broke out of nothing
I guess I'm really unlucky, me and my girlfriend got two pixel 4 in black Friday and both of the phones had the same issue, it started having a crackling sound for a few seconds and then the bottom speaker completely died while in a speakerphone call tried a factory reset with no luck, no sounds comes out, my girlfriend had the phone only for a few weeks when that happened, and in my phone happened last week, now we have to figure how to ship the phone back to the US and try to get a refund, since if it breaks again it would be close to impossible for us to ship it back again

Hello everyone
I own a pixel 4 and it has a constant problem.
after operating normally, suddenly for no apparent reason it loses all sounds and vibrations.
also it is not possible to make calls and freezes in various system applications.
sometimes this is solved with a simple restart of the phone, other times a factory reset is necessary and lately it is required to unlock the boot loader to reinstall the factory image and test with which security patch recovers all its functions and returns to function normally.
It started suddenly after a week on the January update
What would be the cause of this failure in the phone?
At first I reported the problem to google and they indicated the same to most of you; restarting the phone or factory reset and how the method worked no longer insisted.
after the February update its operation was normalized, but with the arrival of the May update the same problem returned.
I had to downgrade to the April update, then to the March update and after several attempts it worked again, but a few days later the problem returns and I have to repeat the process.
What arguments should i use to convince google to change the phone or return my money?
I never rooted
Buy the unlocked phone at BHphoto on Black Friday
model G020I
I live in Peru
NOTE: I do not speak English and use the translator.
sorry
I'm on latest Android 11 DP and I noticed that this release removed a lot of bass from the speaker. I think to prevent the clipping and damage of the speaker.

Is your "Do not disturb" mode turned on by chance.
Sorry if this is a stupid suggestion.
