Random Smoke Alarm Noise - LG G6 Questions and Answers

I was browsing YouTube a few minutes ago when my phone suddenly started beeping very loudly like a smoke alarm. I did some research and discovered that this is a somewhat common problem. I know for a fact that this isn't an amber alert.
Is there any reason to be concerned about this and is there any known way of preventing this from happening again?

Vibration Stuck Issue - Luckily Vibration Motor not Burnt

has anyone experienced the problem of vibration not turning off when receiving email? my hd2 vibrated for like i dont know, at least almost 10minutes one night when i was sleeping and i was woken up by the sound of the vibration. thank God the vibration motor was not burnt due to overuse or overheat.
i had a windows mobile 5 htc made smartphone and the vibration motor almost got damaged once because the entire device got stuck and hang in one occasion when a call was received and i was out. the phone was charging and i think the vibration went on and on more God knows how long. when i got back, the motor was extremely weak, and i think permenantly damaged.
and i dont like the fact that in every windows mobile phone (or just htc phones) the vibration does not pulse, and is constantly on until the ringtone is finished playing. this is really dumb. has been like this since windows mobile 5. i've owned 4 htc made windows phone now and even the latest and greatest HD2 has not improved in this matter.

Add me to the list, mine got stuck from the text message alert, i thought it was just me! Although, i thought it might of been because the alert tone was too long (approx 10 seconds), i changed the alert tone to a shorter one and so far it seems to of stopped the problem.
I have the same issue, do we think this is ROM related or not?
I have this problem once only. It happened when I use Custom ROM. Running back the stock ROM, problem does not occur.
I have it as well
I have it as well ...and twice, also with the official ROM where I didn't install any Custom ROM so far.
i've had it twice now, first with official ROM, second, just 2 days ago, with custom ROM. and it all happened in the middle of night, 3-5am! darn phone woke me up with a scare! i thought i was the only one.

I had the same problem once, I have received an SMS during looking on weather and changing to view the home screen - it got stucked totally, I had to softreset the phone putting out the battery.
looks like we are not alone.. i hope more owners will take notice of this issue so we can collectively complain to htc. it's getting on my nerves waking me up in the middle of the night!
this morning with the alarm it vibrated non stop instead of with a few pauses, and it kept on vibrating untill I stopped the alarm..
sigh.. bug #667
Try this for phone and SMS vibration patterns;

For alarms, I use SPB Time 3.2 anyway... I love how they have a Bioalarm (Chirping birds, but relatively silent and ascending volume) and also how you can shake to snooze (which works really well and does not involve a serious shaking)
It happens for me too, but only when receiving text messages - it just keps buzzing
My "solution" in "Normal Mode" was to have only sound (I turned of vibration) when receiving text messages.
When on "Vibration Mode" this does not happen
I've had this happen on 3 different HTC phones:
Touch Diamond
Xperia X1
and now HD2
It must be some kind of issue between WM and HTC hardware... because I can't imagine all the different ROMs I've flashed on all three devices had this bug...
I just turn off vibration for txt and email. Wish this could be fixed.
i had this problem today. my text came in at 12am and i only manage to get awake by the vibrate noise at 4am to stop it! my text tone is 6sec . 4 hour of vibrating. luckily the vibrate still working. Gosh
Lol lol lol lol lol lol lol
I JUST CAME ACROSS THIS THREAD RIGHT NOW AND COINCIDENTLY,I JUST RECIEVED AN EMAIL & MY PHONE JUST DID THIS NON-STOP VIBRATION PROBLEM!!!!! WHAT WAS THE CHANCES OF THAT!?
Seriously, this is the first time it has done that not sure why. I just flashed this rom(Dutty's) about 3-4 days ago. Let us know if anyone finds a solution and why it does it.

WOW, is it time-based ? I read this last night and the stuck vibration happened to my unit this morning on an email notification! (TMOUS stock)
I haven't really had a stuck problem with my Tmo US version with stock e-mail ringtone. One of my gripes with this phone though is how weak the vibrator is. When I have it in my pocket, I can barely feel a thing unless I am sitting down? Maybe my pants are too loose/baggy? I wouldn't want to have to wear skinny jeans just for the phone though.
I used to have the Tmo MyTouch3g and the vibrator on that phone was perfect. It had pulse vibrate AND it was strong enough for me to feel in my pocket.
using sat nav last week got to my destination recieved an e-mail and then heard a strange noise thought it was my car turned off engine still had noise, touched the roof and it was vibrating, it was the phone had to reset to stop it, it has strongest vibration of any phone i've oned.

Recurring Sound Issue

This problem keeps happening and it is very bad, for me anyway. Especially if if my alarm doesn't sound or I miss calls (4 calls today).
Basically, the sound will either just...stop or will become intermittent. By intermittent I mean that notification sounds stop in the middle, only getting half the notification, and the volume "beep" only sounds every other time the up or down volume is pressed.
The first time it happened i ended up rebooting and that temporarily fixed the problem. The second time I did the same and wiped the cache. Again a temporary fix. The third time i noticed something again that I had noticed the first time. Youtube videos will not play. I had pulled youtube up to test the sound the first time. At that point I thought it was a problem with youtube or the youtube app, but it happened again exactly the same way. So I killed the youtube app and voila, sound was back. So now I am thinking it was the youtube app. The 4th time, the youtube app was open in the background and I just killed all the background apps. Again, sound is back.
So now I think I have it solved. Something to do with the youtube app, right? Apparently not. Today my sound just...stopped while I was sleeping. I missed four calls from my wife and my alarm did not sound. There were a lot of apps listed in the recent apps but NOT youtube. Not at all. I closed all the recent apps and again, the sound came back.
Is this maybe some kind of RAM management issue? or....I have no idea. It's happened before and after both of the updates.
Not using any kind of external device at all, no headphones or speakers. Bluetooth is off. Location is off, NFC is off, WiFi is off (though it has been on for at least one of the times the sound stopped).
I've had the half notification issue randomly. Not as bad as you though. ?

Random Fire Alarm Like Beep Coming From Speaker?

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"?

Annoying notification sound even on mute

Hello.
I have an S8 and have been experiencing this annoying problem since the past few weeks. The phone, at random times (usually once a day- no fixed time) makes a really loud notification sound (ding-ding-ding-diiiing). This happens even when the phone notification setting is on mute.
I cannot trace this to any app and don't see any notification on the screen when this happens. I also went through all the different notification sounds on the phone and none of them match the sound.
I have several dozen apps and uninstalling each one and figuring out if the problem goes away would be a very tedious exercise given that the problem occurs usually once a day and sometimes not even every day.
Any advice on how to troubleshoot would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Galaxy Buds Constant Beeping

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.
