Random notification sounds when screen on - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone!
Samsung Galaxy S9 SM-G960U1.
Stock, non-root.
Android 10, One UI 2.5
Since this morning I'm getting random notification sounds (SMS sound) every 5 - 10 seconds. There is nothing in notifications, no new message, nothing.
The weird thing is that this only happens when the screen is on. When the screen is off, the device functions normally.
NFC and Bluetooth are off.
I'm looking for a way to maybe access the logs and see what's triggering the notification sound?
Thanks!
<CORRECTION>
I'm getting notification sounds when the screen is off too, but not just as often. Maybe once in 5 - 7 minutes.

[Q] Shut off screen light up?

I think we've agreed that the screen is the biggest battery draw on this phone.
I am on the stock ROM, and my screen lights up whenever anything happens on the phone. Any notifications light the screen up. Email/text/etc screen comes on to display the notification in addition to the sound.
Is there a way to keep the sound, and notification in the status bar, but keep the screen from lighting up?
I get a ton of emails M-F not to mention text messages and I don't need the screen firing up every time I get one. Hearing it is good, but I'm sure I'd save battery with the screen forced to stay off. Incremental savings? Maybe. But every little bit, right?
SMS Popup
I just discovered this when I flashed Unofficial. It has settings to disable the screen coming on when a text message arrives - at least it's a start, particularly if you get a lot of texts.

Is that setting not in the stock ROM?
How do you get to it in yours?

[Q] Notification Light Problem?

Hi All,
I noticed that after not touching my phone for awhile (say an hour), any LED notifications for things such as email or missed texts don't light up the green notification light on my phone. It works great if my phone was somewhat used within say the last 30 minutes, but once I wake up in the morning and unlock my phone, I see my missed texts and at that time it lights up the green LED. I have all my LED notification settings set to on. Am I missing something? I hope this is not normal, otherwise what's the point with an LED light?
Well first thing...the device actually only will show a notification for 5 min w/ the blinking light. Then it just stops until the next one comes in.
You also could be experiencing the wifi data bug I am seeing...the one where you basically lose your connection to wifi just by being connected. It doesn't tell you that you have no data connection, it just randomly drops off.
Wow. Only 5 minutes? Is that normal for Android phones or is that an Sense thing? I've had other Android phones before in the past, but with no notification light.

Notifications for messages

Hi folks,
Is there any way to get decent notifications for messages on the Xperia Z2?
I'm used to old nokias and iphones. If I get a message it plays a sound (if the sound is on) and notifies me on screen. I don't need to turn on and unlock my phone to check if I have a missed message or a missed call.
So far on the Z2 I can just set the vibrate and tone, which is fine if I'm near the phone when I get the message, but if I'm not then I probably won't see it until I unlock the phone to do something, which could be hours later.
Can you set the Z2 to flash the led when there are missed calls/messages, or display something on the screen?
Usability-wise this is right up there with the motorola startac 130, which in my mind is still the most user unfriendly phone in the world.
If this can be done without a root/unlock it would be even better!
you have to activate the LED in setting -> display -> last line (as I can remember)
Try Frozen LED, a free app that let's you control the led notifications.
It let's you set colours and flashing speed for different apps.
Even better is you can set them by name. For example if my wife texts, messages or emails me the led flashes purple 4 times a second. Easy to spot.

How to learn on Galaxy S6 LED for only Charging?

So i recently purchased a Galaxy S6 and i find it really annoying at night or any time if my phone's Blue LED just randomly turns on for a random app or game notification.
I've gone through the settings but it doesn't allow much free control because the two switches that allow for the LED to turn on it comes with:
Led will turn on for: Calls, Charging, Message, Notification etc
I just want it for charging.
Anyone know how do to this?

S6 edge repeatedly notifies that phone is set to silent mode

I have an S6 Edge, model SCV31, currently running android 7 (updated last night).
Due to my work, I've been in the habit of always having my phone in silent/vibration mode. This has been the case, with this same phone, for around two years. Maybe two or three days ago there was a notification on my lock screen telling me that my phone was on silent and that I may miss calls. I was given the option to take my phone off silent, or say "it is okay". I have never had this notification before. Normally if I receive a notification I don't care for, I long press on it and turn off notifications for whatever is causing it. I could not long press on the notification, and touching the screen to unlock my phone caused the notification to disappear. This was while running android 6. Around the same time these notifications started I was emailed by my service provider that I would soon be able to download android 7. I received the notification a few times before updating, both while charging and not. I was hoping the update would reset/fix whatever triggering the notification, but have still been receiving it since.
I have not been able to force the notification to reappear. I have tried turning on sounds and turning them off again, restarting my phone, and leaving my phone charging for a few minutes (I initially noticed it while charging) to no avail. Until now, I haven't thought of taking a screen shot, but if necessary I will try to remember when next it occurs.
Does anyone know what is causing this notification and how to turn it off?
Thank you in advance,
JB
