[Q] nexus 7 making random notification sound

Just updated my nexus 7, totally stock, with the latest ota.
Problem is, it now randomly makes a weird notification sound but with nothing actually happening, means I can't Skype or watch anything without this annoyance..
Have switched off the nfc thing, tried having it plugged in or unplugged but still it persists, have even muted the notification volume but that doesn't work... It happens when apps are running and when they aren't, can't seem to isolate it at all but it's doing my nut in!!

Can you pinpoint what sound it is? And if you boot into safe mode, does the sound persist?

By any chance, does it kinda sound like the camera sound from Android 4.1, a melodic click? Or two very fast "knocks"? And keep me posted on safe mode's outcome. :good:

Oh. Hopefully the sound stays away now. Tell me if it ever comes back, okay? I'm more than willing to help.

In-Call audio cutting out completely, forced to reboot phone to restore audio each ti

So I've had the persistent problem of losing my Call Audio supposedly after my phone lies idle for a period of time, forcing me to reboot each and every time I want to make a call. I am using a custom variant of CM13 by Synergy, but I never had this problem until recently and I've had the ROM for months. I assume it's and app but I'm not sure. I'd just like some guidance. Any would be appreciated. I'll be glad to provide any additional info. Thank you!

By "In-call audio cutting out" you mean you can't hear the caller or the caller can't hear you?

What have you done recently? Any recent installs, downloads or toggle options that you may have done before this started happening?

Well I had deleted a couple of apps that I don't use and I do have this app called L -Speed. It's like a ROM Toolbox of sorts and I disabled some settings. Seems to be fine now. Just hope it doesn't happen again. Thank you for the response.

It couldn't be music player because it's also YouTube and SoundCloud.

I haven't seen smart pause.. Smart stay and everything else I checked out and it's not causing the problem. I'm hoping it's not a hardware a problem. I'm going to reflash a different rom and see where it gets me.

This also started happening to me after last software update. Dont knownof its the app update or the phone os marshmellow update...

Hmm.. Not sure. All I wanna do is try to reflash rom but that takes a lot of backing up just when everything else is perfect.

Yea thats true. My gallery just started acting up too where half my pics appear to be half grayed out by a vertical bar.
Considering a reflash but to lazy to back up and ensure everything is backed up. Dont wanna miss nothing.

I have same problem. not only music player but also Youtube, Browser. Dıd you find a solution?

Basically I still deal with it. And it's not as bad. I really just want to upgrade to nougat but without xposed.. Nope

I upgraded to nougat. But problem still exists

I had the possibly similar issue

Type of pause?
How long is pause?
Is it clipping?
Is it at a high volume?
Do you have any type of mono or Bluetooth apps installed?
Are you using WIFI or mobile connection for streaning?
Does it occur at certain locations or everywhere?
*Do you use OK GOOGLE or any similar Voice activated apps?
*Check your NOTIFICATIONS! Try changing SOUND NOTIFICATIONS to VIBRATE for all apps by going into sounds & notif in settings.. Change MODE to vibrate.
*Also try playing in AIRPLANE mode & do not disturb
*Does it occur when streaming to a tv or media device?
With these questions we can rule out various "connectivity" issues or interference as WELL as apps fighting for control over speaker or microphone, for notifications etc. As there are many
You should find the cause as with almost all media streaming apps most have options to go into a do not disturb mode as other apps utilize the same reaources resulting in conflicts like you described! After changing to VIBRATE notification mode and/or AIRPLANE mode, it becomes just a matter of narrowing down offending app.. Until then it will work at least!
HOPE THIS HELPS! There r days I need help! too

I had same problem and ı thought this problem can be related to an app ı installed. And it was. When i uninstalled Sputnik news. My problem had gone. If u have it, uninstal. If u dont have, may be one of other app causes. Try uninstalling each app, and find the app causes this problem

I'm having the same issue especially Snapchat the sound makes me feel like my speaker is going out which it's not

Same here. Bug in system

same here. I noticed it for awhile. Samsung needs to fix this bug!

it happens at least twice today. so annoying.. Anyone here having the same issue?

Aye, happening with me too. But it is not consistent, sometimes the notification sound will play in full, other times cut.

I also have the cut off sound when my sounds do play, but I currently have an issue when none of my sounds are playing at all. Then suddenly one app will play a sound, but the rest won't. But I had this on my S7 as well, so I'm not sure where the bug is, as it isn't specific to any app. I usually have to do a complete factory reset to reinstate them, which is a bit annoying.

This is pants, 8 months down the line and it's still happening. For me it's calendar notifications. Sometimes it'll only play one note of the sound, sometimes none, sometimes 2 or 3 notes. I've tried everything from changing tones to doing a factory reset, still no good. This is bad from Samsung, they've got such excellent hardware but their software implementation is poor, there's always something dragging it down.

Thought it was all just in my head… Turns out others are also having this issue. It doesn't happen 100% of the time, but it does happen.

I had problem with my S7 edge and now 6 months later with my Note 8. I did the factory reset and problem still exists. Someone had recommended me to install "Disable increasing ring" app, and that seems to fix the problem. You get 10 days trial then it's .99 cents to purchase. I will try to do the factory reset again and install very minimal app to see which one that causes the problem. Things is, I shouldn't have to purchase an app to fix the problem. Very frustrating. I don't know If it's only happen Samsung phone. If that's the case then I might have to switch to Pixel.

I just got an S9 now, running oreo, so we shall see if it still does it. I will report back soon.

Stupid Glitches
I'm having this problem now. I don't know if it's where I live (Juneau, Alaska) or my service provider or too much stuff stored on my phone. It's irritating. Especially when I end up missing half of my husband's work breaks because the sound doesn't go off. It happens mostly with FB messenger. I'm sick of it.

Do you have a smartwatch connected to it at all? Just wondering if that could be anything to do with it?

Brand New and microphone issue

Bought this brand new sealed and opened it up and updated to current.
Problem,
Microphone works great on the phone but won’t work anywhere else.
Ok google won’t voice match to open, voice memos, gboard, video call apps, etc.
Anyone else had this issue and fixed it?

First thing I'd do is check the app's permissions that they are allowed to use the mic

I did that

did it work before you updated it?
Does it work with headset etc?
I'd try going to reset all apps, as a first try.
Last resort, reflash.

When you plug in a headset with a mic it works fine.
Don’t know about working first because updates were right away as I knew the phone at start was not a good experience until all the updates made it great.

I think you/we are suffering from an software issue. The PH-1 and other devices like the OP6 have the problem that thirdparty apps are using the wrong microphone, even the camera app. For me this is causing very low volume in recorded videos and anreliable "OK google" trickering the assistant. I don't use whatsapp or snapchat, so can't say anything about it.

Hopefully it will be fixed later once. Fingers crossed :silly:

LOL, yes suppose most of us would immediately update phone is s oon as we got it also
yes, I'd think it's software issue, I've also heard of similar problems on other phones & oK goggle also causing mic issue, that's very I suggested using the reset all app option. Maybe also try boot into safe mode to see if it's a 3rd party app causing this.
