Losing my mind here.
This may be CM related (August 17th nightly ATM, but happens on the 10.1.2 release as well), or it may be app related, but it's driving me up the wall.
My phone will occasionally play a sound I have never heard before... With good speakers/headset, there is a low hum at first, then regardless of speakers, I get the high pitch beeps, ascending tone. This happens regardless of sound status. (On vibrate or silent, I still hear the beeps) and with no notification icon to go with it.
If anyone has any idea what this could be, I'm all ears!
Thanks!
** I posted this in the T989 device forum, but it is also happening on my Nexus 7, and on both a Cyanogen 10.1.2 and a Hellybean ROM so I'm confident it's not device related, and likely not ROM related. MODs feel free to delete the post in the device thread **
SOLVED Beep Annoyance
FINALLY!!!!
Ok, so I found the problem.
I was randomly reading my Google+ feed (yeah, I know, who does that right?) and saw a post in the Text+ circle. Someone had joined as a beta tester, and wanted to know how to turn off the beeping. Turns out, Text+ uses a series of beeps to calibrate their echo cancellation. I opted out of the beta, reinstalled Text + and all is good in the world.
Hope this helps someone else avoid repeatedly wiping their phone to try and find the problem!

Basically when I get a call, my ringtone starts quietly, and quickly increases the volume to max. (max being whatever you set as your ring volume.)
Does this happen on all of our phones? This was not an issue with my G1 AFAIRemember.
Thanks guys!
Its not a bug, its a feature. However I do agree there needs to be toggle options for a lot of little things on this phone, ie: battery notifications.
So as of right now, no. We'll just have to hope Samsung throws a lot of changes into their Froyo update...
All Samsung phones at least 4 which I had this feature so don't worry !

How exactly is this an issue ???? this is the 3rd or 4th thread I seen about this feature.... please explain .,.,,.,.,.,
I did search before I posted, I just did not see any relevant threads.
This is an issue because I personally dislike having this "feature". It was not a problem on my G1, and almost every other phone that I've used has it as a ringer option.
I checked all the service menu's hoping to find something relevant, to no avail lol.
Here's hoping CM fixes this =)

It is, for the most part a Samsung Thing. On all of the older samsung phones, The Ringer speaker was also the Ear piece Speaker. As well as the Speaker phone speaker.
That was done so when you put the phone to your ear and say an incoming call beats your out going call (Happens to me sometimes) The ringer does not damage your hearing.
the only work around for this so far is just to edit the ringtone and insert a few seconds of silence (2-3) in the beginning and then have the ringtone play out normally
Thanks for the info guys. I will try adding a few seconds of extra sound to the front of my ringtones for now.
Maybe this will be fixed with a proper CyanMod lol
I guess that gets rid of the fade-in, but it makes even less sense than before. Not really a practical solution to anything (not trying to flame). You're just going from your ringtone fading in, to not even hearing your phone ring for a few seconds.
I mean unless you like the first 2 seconds of your ringtone THAT much.
That's an annoying feature regardless.
Hi, Sorry if this has been asked, i didn't see anything in the forums specific to this, but i have a random sonar type noise that goes off every so often, probably about 10-15 times a day in fact, annoying at night, it has no notifications or any indication what it could be.
It started when i updated to 4.0.4 with I9300XXLG8 and the Siyah -s3-v1.5rc1 kernel. I had installed and tried the AOSP jelly bean, didn't like it, did full wipe and reverted back to 4.0.4, but had installed the latest modem and kernel.
after this i restored all my apps and settings from my backup and i was happy. since i did this i have had random sonar noises that didn't happen before with other firmware, and i have no idea what to do to stop it.
Is there any way to find out what notification sounds are assigned to which programs? or could it be something to do with the kernel?
has anyone else experienced this?
no worries if nobody has any suggestions, there are worst things that could happen, its only an annoying sounds every now and then, but any help would be appreciated!!!
Paul.
bump!
Weird lol, try a factory reset, if it stops then probably it's some kind of app, start installing apps one by one (or 10 by 10) and try to pinpoint which app is causing the sound.
have you checked if you have nfc active? i had a similar situation on my phone and it would play a notification sound randomly (i assumed randomly, but it wasn't).. only a few months leter i realised it only played that sound when i was holding the phone and my wallet together.. i happened to have a card with an nfc chip from my football team..
I checked all that stuff, nfc is off, even while airplane mode is on and there should be no network activity, it still makes the noise, there is no set pattern either, I did want to try and avoid a full reset, but ill have to try it out, maybe if i do that ill try the latest JB leak.
thanks for your responses guys!.
Paul.
Figured it out in the end!, it was a HTC animated clock widget i had installed! it made a notification noise every time the location changed!!
deleted and noise now gone!..
Does anyone know where i might be able to find a good HTC animated clock widget that has a smooth flip animation?
i tried a few and dont seem to be getting any joy! I have it on my work phone which is a HTC Wildfire S. i like that clock.
Hey guys, I'm having this issue with my stock Razr Maxx, where the ringtone volume turns down (close to silent) and I don't even know it unless I receive a call and there isn't any noise around (or else I totally miss the call).
I understand this is probably a well known bug, but I would just like to know if there's anything triggering it, so I know how to avoid this. I'm using a bluetooth headset every day, at work, but I haven't figured out a pattern yet, or even if the bluetooth headset is causing this.
Help? Please?

Looks like your bluetooth headset may be changing the volume without your consent.
Try to plug it off at least for a day and see if the problem happens
It looks like it wasn't the bluetooth headset.
During the weekend I haven't used it and this morning the volume was all the way down...
I have disabled the 'increasing volume' setting from my alarm and see if that helps, as I realized I always snooze or stop the alarm while it's still barely audible.
=P
I'm used to have three different alarms. I don't like snooze...i prefer to sleep more ten minutes and have a different alarm. Since i'm sleepy when i look the alarm i tend to cancel it instead of snooze also
Some time ago i had a similar problem with my XT910. After taking it to a authorized local service my volume up key wasn't working anymore ; they fixed it somehow.
Why don't you try to install an custom rom or reflash your actual rom ? It would tell us if your problem is hardware or software (if the problem persists with another rom surely its a hardware thing - i don't think kernel is related to this).
I will be flashing the official JB when it comes out, hopefully soon. I've got the "MERetail.en.06" software version now and I understand this is the Middle East version, which will not get the JB OTA update, so I will have to flash another ROM anyway. I'm willing to wait for it to come out first.
Hello Everyone.
Wonder if anyone can help me as I think I am going mad!
I use my headset all day (listening to podcasts) and whenever i answer a call, I have to remain very still for fear i will hang up (which happens regularly).
I have had the same problem on many roms - Omega, Temasek, Cyanogenmod, Foxhound and many more, its driving me crazy.
I have also installed proximity service and an app which I cant remember the name of at the moment, but will update when i find out. Needless to say, nothing has worked, the screen always comes on when a call comes in.
Does anyone have any idea what i can do to sort this, i never need my screen on when my phone is in my pocket.
PS I have tasker, maybe i can use that to sort it?
Thanks for any input

Try Gravity box-power settings-the last two options
Is it just me or are the notifications all too quiet? the main default alert as well as individual app notifications all seem way too quiet, I can hardly hear them. I've even just factory reset it and it's still the same, anybody got any advice? please?
May be obvious but have you tried turning the notification volume up?
Trust me, I have checked, rechecked, triple checked and even factory reset the phone 3 times all with the same result. The sounds sound fine while selecting them in the respective app settings but as soon as the notification is triggered it's like the speakers are covered with cotton wool or something. But in answer to your question yes, all sliders are at their maximum.
Thanks for replying though
My provider (Hutchison 3G) have said over Twitter to return it and get a replacement, which I will do tomorrow if I can't find a solution. At least that way it'll rule out a hardware fault.
My notification is also to.quiet.
Music and videos and notification sounds on zedge for example are loud it as soon as I choose to use them for a notification sound it's very low. Certainly a software bug not hardware.
Thank you, I really thought I was going doolally... I'll mention it to the provider tomorrow when I get advice

Probably a bit naff quoting myself but hey-ho...
Returned the device, and the new one arrived today, still the same problem, for example select a notification tone for Whatsapp and it's quiet-ish but okay (i'm quite deaf so need a louder than normal notification) then when someone sends a message its super quiet and sort of muffled. I had every intention at some point to root and de-brand it but thought the stock rom was the probelm, so after many hours I finally flashed ARC5, flashed TWRP and rooted with SuperSU ( that lot was a mission on its own) but I've still got VERY quiet notifications...
Very Very annoying.
Anyone developing a volume mod?

Glad we not on our own and a replacement has been tried with no such look.
Certainly a problem Samsung should became to fix quickly if there are aware of it.....
i checked again the same sound is low on viber and in telegram and very high in whatsapp
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Dtp3nzFDG9Z7dRWzMhTa5OQLNB9UPY3D/view?usp=sharing
Video of issue where the same sound on whatsapp is high and on telegram is low, and the same issue with all sounds and many apps.
Do the notification sounds play through a bluetooth speaker if you have one connected? Maybe I could hear them on the other side of the house if I used a bluetooth speaker with the volume cranked up when I leave the phone charging .
Another silly idea: There are tasker plugins available to make app notifications into events that tasker can respond to. If someone already has tasker installed, you could try intercepting the notification then playing the sound you want as a music clip so it would play at "normal" volume. I've never taken the time to learn how the heck to use tasker, but now I'm tempted.

I am having the same issue. I keep missing text messages due to the quietness, even if I'm sitting next to it, within 3 feet.
Any thing discovered as of yet?
Found this thread Googling for a fix for the same problem, G960F
Notification only plays through bottom speaker, and is much quieter than the original sound I downloaded from Zedge and muffled too, all stock notification sounds are equally low
I see the Samsung forums are full of people complaining about the same thing, hopefully Samsung does something about it, quite annoying and constantly missing messages and whatsapp notifications
I have no issues... Verizon.. snapdragon model...I think it's an Android Oreo issue though..my pixel XL did that. But the volume increased whenever the phone was in my pocket...same with the Galaxy S9+..but it's louder than my pixel

Noticed today that ringtones are quieter when someone calls, than they are from the ringtone selection screen
Tweeted to Samsung about it, who very quickly asked me to DM them instead of publicly tweeting about it, so I did, and that was nearly two weeks ago, no reply

Yes I've noticed that too - I think it's the top speaker that's quieter.
Hmm strange issue not present on my Verizon models on the s9 and s9+ I wonder if the software has different settings on how the volume works i know my volume mod on the s7 and s7 edge were different for all models so I'm guessing it's a software issue
Any solution/mod?
Послато са SM-G965F уз помоћ Тапатока
up until now after the august patch, the notifications are still quiet as hell.
