Okay, so I have the SM-955U, which is rooted. Just a few minutes ago, I was using the device, just browsing Facebook. Out of nowhere, it started screaming at me. An extremely loud, alarm like noise erupted from the speakers, way above the normal max volume. I have no audio mods installed, so I don't see any reason it would be so loud. Shortly after the noise ended, my phone shut itself off. I have no clue what it could have been, so here I am. Has anyone else had this happen? Or know why it would?
Sounds like an emergency alert, like an Amber alert. Maybe it was just coincidence that your phone turned off before it could display the emergency message also? Just a wild guess.
Was it like "wee woo wee woo" or like "brrrrrrrrr brrrrrrrrr brrrrrrrr"?

That sounds pretty plausible.
I've had the same issue!!!! its not an alarm. is a random beeping very loud!

Just want to check whether anyone else have the same problem as me.
When I plug in the HTC-supplied earphones, it won't beep through the speakers when a new SMS comes in, instead, it beeps through the earphones. I usually connects the earphones when I'm driving in case I have to pick up any calls but I don't stick 'em in my ears all the time, so I end up not knowing whenever a new message comes in, which is pretty annoying. But the speaker rings just fine with an incoming call with the earphones connected, no problems there whatsoever.
Anybody have any idea how to fix the problem so that the phone throws out a new message audio alert through the speakers (when the earphones are connected)?
Nobody else having the same problem??

Well yes ive noticed it does that, but i hadn't noticed it as a problem..... Bit of annoyance i'll wager, but then you shouldnt be reading texts when driving anyway, its far more dangerous than talking on a headset, perhaps thats why?..... hehe
Finally!! I thought I was the only one having this problem!
Well, it's true that I shouldn't be reading text while driving but surely it's fine to read my text replies when I'm stopped at a red light?
Anyway, receiving a reply is probably one of the best way to confirm that my previous outgoing text didn't get stuck in the outbox.
Hehe yea, I get ya. Just playing devils advocate.
It does seem a rather strange decision.
I do however have a workaround for you, even if it is pretty grim.
Start the fm radio, activate loudspeaker, then mute the radio. Hey presto new message tone comes out of the main speaker.
I havent tested to see what effect that has on using the headset for calls, I dont drive so it's not a priority, but might be worth looking at if it is that important to you.
Edit - well it certainly still rings through teh earphones when in this state..... further testing i'll let you do.

same problem.
dont know, what i can do.
im not sure about when headphones are plugged in but sometimes i don't receive notifications when headphones aren't plugged in
Different version, yes, *problem*
This also applies to calls. I have my headphones in and walk away from the phone. It doesn't ring when the headset is plugged in! So, I constantly miss calls. Anyone have an idea about how to make it ring on the device when the headphones are plugged in???? (I really don't think it makes sense that I have a whole new discipline of plugging and unplugging the headphones all day long!)
/P
I flashed my phone to SC 2.4 voodoo and everything works fine except that whenever I am on the phone I hear weird sound. It doesnt happen when screen is not on. I think it has to do with some kind of sensor btw you phone and your ear. When screen is on because the phone is not close enough to your ear, it makes sound but as soon as you put your phone close to your ear so that no longer screen is on then I dont hear anymore.....it could not be a big deal...but it kinda bothers me....so plz any suggestions will b greatly appreciated!!
What sort of sound is it? Is it a very high pitched constant tone? Or something else?
Heya,
That sound comes from the screen turning on. Its some sort of frequency noise. Not sure if there is a fix for it.

Not the first to report it, it's happened on other roms as well.
Yep. Not a problem for me on DL09
Got it on both froyo leaks as does my friends fascinate
Doesnt bother me too much though
the texts greater than 160 chars coming through as gibberish or not coming through to non-verizon customers is whats getting annoying to me.
I turned on the simple split 160 option in handcent but something about splitting texts into multiple texts just feels wrong to me :S
I do not believe that there is a fix for it at the moment. But I have noticed that with 2.2 as well. From what I remember I think it has something to do with the soft keys and screen lighting up when on the phone is moved from your ear.
I've noticed this also. But only since EB01 (I think...lol). It does get somewhat annoying but not really that bad. Would love a fix. Superclean 2.4nv
Good. Glad to hear that I'm not the only one hearing this.
I'm just hoping that the noise isn't the sound of something being damaged in my phone. ...like some internal component that is receiving too much power.
To describe the noise, it's pretty much the same kind of noise that a light-up watch makes whenever you turn on the light. I don't know if any of you have ever stuck your ear up to a Timex Indiglo, or something similar, but there is a little "wheeeeeee" kind of noise that is emitted by the light.
*EDIT*
Ok. More info on the odd noise coming out of the phone. It only happens when the phone is in a call. So it is something related to the proximity sensor. Is it possible that EB01 is sending too much voltage through the proximity sensor?
If you are not in a call, even if both the screen and the soft keys are enabled, there is no odd noise. When you are in a call and the screen is on, a weird noise is made. As soon as the screen goes off, the noise stops.
I am told when charging of the phone is complete it vibrates for a few seconds. Anyone know how to turn this off as no-doubt it will waken me?
Thanks.
Not only that, but it makes a stupidly loud pinging noise, too. It woke me up at 3am this morning. I can't find anything in the settings to turn it off.
Anyone?
I don't know why Samsung and LG thinks this is useful.
i dont wake up for anything!! i havent noticed this once yet. does it only ping/vibrate when you are charging when the phone is on? or when it off also?
Only when it's on. I think that the pinging noise is controlled by the System volume slider in the settings menu, I had it up to full which is probably what caused it to wake me. I've put it down to about 2 now but am yet to test to see if it's quieter.
I can't find anything to turn off the vibration though.
I'm yet to get my phone, so can't check, but have you checked in the sound settings? There's apparently an option for Vibration if I'm understanding page 129 of the manual.
" Vibration: Set when the device will vibrate for various events"
I'm hoping the fully charged event is one of these.
OK, so the ping isn't controlled by System, it's controlled by Notifications. Which is really stupid because if you turn the volume down on that how are you supposed to hear when you've got a text message?
Disabling 'Haptic Feedback' in the Sounds menu seems to disable the vibration part of the notification. It also disables vibration on all other UI interactions, though.
Anyone got a solution to this really annoying problem?
do you really have to have your phone so close to you when you sleep???

If you can try and get me something to go on, I can perhaps try to find out what is causing this vibration...
I am guessing it comes from the framework...

Yes, I use it as my alarm clock when I am home and travelling.

I don't have anything to go on other than that the phone makes a loud beep two times and vibrates when charged.
I mentioned it in one of previous topics covering this problem and I will mention it once again.
SGS i9000 had the same problem in one of the first firmwares. Vibrations and sounds when battery charged have disappeared starting from (I think) one of the first Froyo updates from Samsung.
Samsung will hopefully address this problem sooner or later.
I had autostarts purchased, from back when I had to worry about what was running. Looking it seems on plugging the phone to usb or charger it launches "Mtp application" guess that would be a good place to start.
On a slightly different note. Once the phone is fully charged, it stars to drain again. Is there an alarm clock app that keeps the phone around 98% then starts charging again 30 mins before the alarm is due?

But doesn't you change the sms sound from the sms app? Thats how it works usually in Androids. The notification sound is for any other notifications, but you can change different for the sms sound. Thats how it works in Nexus S at least. Same for the gmail app also.
I guess this is in services.jar
I will take a look shortly.
...uurm...dunno if this is what you guys want but
Have your mobile on silent. (Alarms will ring in silent mode)
Go to settings - sound - vibration - Only when not in silent mode
It won't vibrate nor make a sound whilst your asleep

So at least it works in that way. Thats how my phone is always at night. Good to know, my phone will come in about 1 or 2 weeks.

Please. I would be more than happy to send a donation!
There might be a solution if you are rooted...
In the folder /system/media/audio/ui there's a file called Charger_Connection.ogg and you can rename that to Charger_Connection.ogg.bak (personally I use adb and the 'mv' command, Root Explorer should work fine too).
Plugging in the USB cable now doesn't make a noise, just waiting to see what happens when it's fully charged...!
UPDATE: Nope, it uses a different noise... still looking...
Hi,
I'm loving my OnePlus 5, but there is a strange behaviour with incoming calls. When the phone is ringing and vibrating, sometimes a really bad buzzing sound occurs every few seconds.
It doesn't happen with every call and I have absolutely no idea what's triggering it. I've thought about the vibration motor, but then it shouldn't only make that sound for some calls.
Anyone else with this issue?
Ok, I've done some tests and can easily reproduce the issue:
It happens when vibration is set to strong, like it is set default for calls, and the phone is lying somewhere. As soon as i touch the phone a little bit or take it in the hand, the sound stops. It cames definitely from the top (right?) of the phone.
It would be nice, if anyone could check if their phone makes the same noises. Either call your phone or simply go to vibrations settings.
I've made a video of the vibration sound on strong settings. Would anyone please be so kind to check it on his/her device? You can hear the strange noise pretty well.
OnePlus support told me it was normal.

Just tried on mine, doesn't have the issue, the support is clearly ****ing with you. If i had this issue, I would just get nuts

Thanks for your reply. I've set vibration to medium as a workaround. It would have been hard to believe every device is doing this ugly noise, especially since you hear it with standard settings for incoming calls.
Nevertheless I'd appreciate any further feedback wether his/ her device is affected or not.
Bro, I'd like to know if this issue got fixed for you? I am commenting because I started noticing this too.

I had to RMA the phone. Unfortunately it's the only solution.
I have 2 days left before my 10-day-replacement policy is over. You're saying, your replacement device doesn't have the issue?
Is anyone else getting an almost constant beeping sound? Beeping might not be the best way to describe it. It's like a quiet pulsing notification chime or something. It appears to only happen in the right ear. I thought at first it was to tell me I had a notification on phone but I didn't. I opened wear app and there was nothing. Earbuds were both at 95%.
It has happened Everytime I've worn them and it is so annoying to the point I can use them.
I read some threads for the iconx of people getting a constant beeping while moving and it had something to do with either a. One of the sensors or b. Overheating. I haven't experienced any iver heating but it does seem to happen while I'm either running or walking.
I can only guess. The short sound means the the earpiece detects that you wearing them. This sound can be heard immediatelly if you put them in your ears. Each earpiece has a proximity sensor and a gyroscope. The combination of sensors can then detect if you really wear them or if they are held in the hands. I would tip on a sensor miscalibration or sensor problem.
Try to factory reset them in the Samsung wearable app.
I believe I kno what your talking about, I get a pulse in ear. I just attributed to the bluetooth.
Yes! I'm not going mad then!!! I keep thinking it's a quiet notification of something like email, that I have chosen not to receive notifications on when I'm working out. It's like a quiet background reminder. Except there is no email! It has been happening since the last update.
Have you tried resetting them via the app?
Glad to see I'm not the only one! The beeping was driving me crazy this past weekend as I was cutting grass. I kept looking at my phone thinking I had an email or text message but nothing was there. I'll try factory resetting and see if that fixes the problem.
If its a beeping sound the buds are overheating. If its that funny chime sound that I hear randomly I think its something with the sensors on the buds.
Is there any update to this? The sound is very annoying when I'm wearing it while walking. It won't stop.
It could be your hearing aid battery running out or tinnitus, I'd see the doctor.
