[HELP] Strange PING sound - Touch Pro, Fuze General

hi last night i discovered my touch pro does a strange ping sound every couple minutes. It's really annoying and i've been trying a lot to find out what it is. I don't know for how long it's been doing that, it might be possible it's been for a longer time and i just didn't hear it because it's rather low volume.
It definately comes from the speaker and sounds like an alert or something. But theres nothing on the screen.
I've made a video to make clear what exactly the issue is like:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvldepeSI0E
- it also happens when in airplane mode and phone is muted or set to vibrate
- this sound isn't affected by the system volume
- a hard reset didn't help
- another ROM didn't help
- another radio didn't help
- it also sounds while flashing a ROM or Radio!!!
- [edit] revert to stock ROM and Radio didnt help!
Anyone has a clue what it could be? It's driving me crazy and might become the reason for a touch pro toilet flush death!

Sounds like you covered all the bases already, but I guess you could also try keeping it unplugged and removing the battery and leaving it like that for a day or something.

static clicking noise

does anyone have any static clicking noise? for example b4 some sort of sound comes on u hear a little static click from phone, or right when about to call, u click call and a clicking static noise clicks once or twice then calls? everything runs perfect, but this noise annoys me so much? is there a fix for this or do i need something?
no idea what you are talking about :/ if you add ROM, device (Fuze, sprint touch pro, Touch pro Europe,etc.) and Radio (stock or not)
I'm guessing it's a radio problem but that's just my minor educated guess. Also when does this happen? phone call, sms, before ALL sounds?
i've tried many different radios same problem, usually occurs right b4 sounds occur, say i click on a contact ill hear this static click and etc
Not sure what you're asking, so please clarify. Also this doesn't belong in the rom development forum. I'm moving to the raphael general forum.
for example, when sounds are coming out right b4 they do, a static clicking sounds comes out of speaker. for example, i press call, right b4 the call starts i hear click then it begins dialing. the voice and talking is flawless but that clicking noise is just annoying me
I get the same sound on my Fuze. it is very annoying. I hear it before most sounds and if I enable event sounds I hear it on almost every screen touch. It sounds to me like the speaker is being "powered up" in some way. I think that it is also a cause of battery drain. Since I turned off the event sounds the battery lasts much longer.
One other thing that I noticed is that back of my device near the speaker would get hot when I heard this sound a lot.
I am using NATF 2.3 ROM but it happened with 2.2 also. I have not changed the radio.
IF anyone has any advice I would appreciate it, as the first posted stated, it is annoying.

I had similar issues with my phone a while ago. I took it back to the ATT store and they said not to worry about it, unless it got worse. I've since completely reset my phone and started from scratch and it doesn't do it any more. I used to get it alot with opening and closing the keyboard, but also with screen touches too. But, knock on wood, it's not happened since I reset my phone.
yes, chris thats exactly it... let me try event sounds and see if i have same issue there.
cant remember but i dont think i had it in romeos 1.4 and difinately did not have it when i first started flashing or the stock rom that came with it... not sure if its something now in these new roms. i just dont want to flash my phone right now bc i have it set up the perfect way for me, as its fast. responsive..... but if its last resort i will go back to romeos 1.4 to experiment it out

I've been hearing this sort of noise myself, and I have the AT&T stock Rom on my Fuze. I hope it's not another bug with the phone, for I can not return mine (past 30 days & phone return limit). It's not that bad so I ignore it. I only hear it before it rings, not during my calls so it's ok.
Please go to Start, Settings, Personal, Sounds and Notifications and disable screen taps!

lol its a little more complex than that.... it seems like the speaker has to turn on or sumtin, its weird. like states in a previous comment, its right b4 any sound occurs, but during calls etc it is perfect.
Yep, I had that noise on both my original and replacement Fuze's.
Sounds like GSM buzz on the speaker - like when you have your phone next to a T.V. and you get a call or text.
I had this noise on the first fuze I got, 2nd and 3rd did not have it.
It sounds to me like the sound chip is in 'deep sleep' mode, and when the wake event is triggered, some voltage is getting passed on to the speaker, hence the short 'click' noise, which only occurs at the start of audio streams (the sound chip goes back into sleep mode shortly after playing the sound, which is why you again hear a click later)
If you don't hear any clicking in a steady stream of sound (like playing an mp3) this is pretty likely to be the cause.
is there any fix for this or anything we can do to avoid the clicking? its just an annoying sound even though im starting to get sued to it still frustrating lol
Fix Please?!?1
yes i need a fix please this is annoying... i might go back to the g1 if i cant find a fix
i think i have narrowed the problem down, im going to reflash my phone and will post an update in the next 20-30 minutes
Any updates on this? I get it constantly (before calls and other alerts, just before playing a song, when playing Teeter...)
Has done it on the original 3 (au) firmware, the 2nd update of the 3 (au) firmware, Elite RC2 and ROMeOS 1.5x and 1.7x.
Never gone away
UPDATE:
if u are having this issue, please call your cell phone company, and ask for a trade... its a sign of speaker going bad... i got new one and problem is fixed.

[Q] Sound problems in my moto G

Hello all,
First of all, I am no native english speaker so excuse my english, I'll do my best so you can undertand.
Second, I've tried to find a post or any help before posting, but I did not reset my phone.
Well, I will try to explain whats going on with my moto g:
A couple weeks ago, suddenly, I was making a call and the sound was going on and off, with no apparent reason. I thought it was my or the other person network.
After that, I guess that same afternoon, I noticed the speaker wasn't working when playin a video or any sound.
Since then it's always the same, the speaker sometimes works, sometimes not. When playing a video or sound, if the speaker is not working I shake or hit (with care hehe) the phone and it gets to work, but usually stops again soon. Usually there is no sound when receivin a notification, when receiving a call it works at first at least. When the alarm sounds, its pretty strange: looks like it would be trying to sound, and quickly decrease the volume, I dont know how to explain it, but I can not rely on the phone alarm.
Another strange thing, is that when I volume up or down, sometimes it changes the volume of the ring (volume when receiving a call or notfication, dont know how to explain it in english), and sometimes what seems to be the media volume (multimedia), but that is actually not the media volume because its in a different level than the one when I change the volume level when playing a video or media. I dont know how to explain it better...
I haven't tried with headphones. I did wipe cache and dalvik cache. I'm on android 4.4.4, using Dalvik. rooted and bootloader unlocked. Xposed, gravitybox, minminguard and motoguide installed.
I don't know what else can I tell you...if there is anything I can do let me know.
Thank you
If just poking or shaking the phone makes the speaker works means that some contact it's not sodered correctly so just take it to the service center and it will be repaired

[Q] How to diagnose HW sound issue?

I have an xt1033 16GB Dual SIM Moto G. One day, it suddenly starting making strange high pitch noises (while on stand by).
Pressing volume up/down to get the phone to make the confirmation sounds sometime helped, or sometimes the issue disappeared after a restart.
However, in a few days, it got more and more often. The phone would either make high pitch noises or not make any sound at all.
Nothing related to sound worked any more.
So not even the camera, or watching a video on youtube or recorded by the camera. (This video cannot be played).
Of course calling also doesn't work.
I am wondering if maybe there will be some driver errors in the log ? But I don't know how to see the log.
What I tried so far:
- changed to a different ROM and/or resetted to factory defaults to eliminate any software issues.
- changed the 2 speakers
- removed the top right screw (this helped a lot, sometimes pressing and depressing that area made the phone to work). This last step seems to indicate the issue is related to something being loose, a cold contact somewhere on the motherboard. I inspected the motherboard but can't see a lot since the various chips are covered with metal.
Maybe the audio chip has a problem?
Any ideas? If I remove the screws now, play with the phone a bit and put it back except the top right screw it will probably work again for a few hours or days.
But maybe when the issue comes back, something is recorded in the log, like on a PC when you remove a hardware device?
Thank you!

Semi-Perm fix (no patch) for random sound change from clear to muffled/bass and back.

Thanks to @cstark27 for the Magisk Mod, and @S8rooted&tooted for troubleshooting a non-patch fix.
So there's an issue with our phones that makes the sound either sound clear, muffled (some call it bass heavy), and then it changes back and forth seemingly randomly. There are three things you can try without using the Magisk Mod, and all three seem to work with one that I personally found to work the best.
1. If you're playing YouTube videos you can pause/play the video. This seems to change the sound either way depending on how it sounds before pausing.
2. Raise volume to 100%, and then back down to where you want it. This seems to be consistent to have the sound be clear without the muffled bass sound.
3. (This is the best for me) Turn off any equalizers any apps have, and only have Google Play Music's equalizer on, and set to Normal without Bass boost or Surround sound on (as in the screenshot). There is a chance something starts the randomness again, and I found the best solution is to reboot, and then it will be good again for a good while (hence the title "Semi-Perm").
I've been using number 3 testing it in all apps I can think of that has sound/music from games to YouTube to simple apps that just make a click (even clicks can be different when the sound changes overall). I have yet to hear any sound change to muffled/bass, and even the top and bottom speakers seem even again. Pausing/playing, raising sound to 100% then back down, the sound is consistently clear.
Here's two links to the other thread with the Magisk Mod, so you can try either of these three methods, or try the Magisk Mod. Hopefully Google will sort it out when they release next months update/fixes.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79294970&postcount=15
PS - Another great step to take is to submit feedback through your phone if you have this issue. I've done it myself, so if Google keeps getting feedback, hopefully they will take quicker action.
I think I found the main trigger. It may be known already, but I just put the pieces together. Since if the sound gets muffled, and turning the volume to 100% then back down via the physical volume buttons, and the sound gets clear again, I decided to test how long the volume stays clear after a reboot since a reboot always seemed to produce clear sounds every time. It seems to be steady clear through all apps, videos, and sounds as long as I don't touch the physical volume buttons. The moment I change the volume via the physical buttons my sound starts acting up. Say I'm in an app, and I want to change the media volume. Well if I use the physical buttons of course the volume changes, but like I said the sound suddenly becomes unstable, and I notice the change from clear to muffled soon after, but if I use the volume sliders through the settings section I never have an issue. I did it a couple of times, and it's been very consistent, so now I just use a shortcut on my homescreen to adjust the volumes, and never touch the physical keys. For those having this issue please report back if you try these methods, so hopefully Google can patch it sooner rather than later.

Found another trigger. All was fine for over a day without touching the physical volume buttons, and then I received a call. Took the call (didn't touch volume), and once the call was complete the next app I opened had he muffled sound. Same app I used tens of times since last rebooting. Rebooted again, and all is good again.
So far: Physical volume buttons, and voice calls are two triggers.

I've been keeping my eye on this thread, and came across a poster who said they "fixed" the issue by uninstalling the Phone app updates, and then reinstalling it. I've tried so many things that I almost gave up, but for three days now I haven't had the issue even after several calls. I haven't rebooted yet, so I don't know if it will stay "fixed" (I'm using quotes since I don't really know if it truly is fixed for good). The funny thing is I went to say thank you to the poster, but their post somehow is now gone. I don't know if they removed it, or a mod did, but the "fix" seems to work.

Well this worked for several day, but I was watching YouTube, and had a phone call come in, and the issue came back. Retrying the "fix" didn't seem to work again. I deleted updates from Phone and YouTube, but I still get the issue. The only reliable temp fix is to reboot, and it seems good until a call comes in. Luckily I don't have that many calls, so sometimes I can go a day or so with good sound all around.
On a positive note I tweeted at Made by Google about this, and they replied saying that's not what they want users to have, and to DM them, so hopefully it will lead to a real fix by Google.
I think the random sound change isnt a bug, its automatic presets based on what type of sound it is, like sound for phone, sound notifications, different types of music etc etc.

Right, but there is a bug because the phone will apply the Phone app sound/bass to YouTube, but if you pause/play it, or turn the volume up to 100%, and then back down, the bass goes away. I agree with having presets, but they shouldn't mix/match when they feel like.
Since Google doesn't seem to care about this phone, or this issue, or their customers who bought it, as they haven't even bothered to acknowledge that it is happening I've trying all kinds of things, and keeping track of when it happens most. The latest "fix" that seems to be consistent is keep the in-call volume at 100%. Usually I keep it one notch down, but I was on a call two days ago, and had to turn up the sound to 100%. I forgot to turn it back down after the call, but ever since I haven't had the issue where the sound randomly changes from clear to muffled/bass. I've had sever calls since, and all is still good. I know when none of the volume controls are at 100%, and you get the issue, you can "fix" it by turning the regular volume to 100%, and then back down. So my theory is since the call volume is always at 100%, it is keeping the sound switching at bay.
I still can't believe after more than six months Google treats their customers so badly after paying $1000 (I did since I pre-ordered it). "Here buy our over priced phone now that will soon be half the cost, and then don't expect fixes for issues." Thanks Google.

I see what you mean, kind of gets tangled up in itself as it doesnt switch fast enough between the presets, when i get notification after notification really fast the phone the phone gets confused.
Its defo googles ai, i remember this bug from way back.

Oppo Find X2 Lite making random sound

Edited to add that I have worked out what the notificaiton is that is making this sound. It's under software and it flashes up with "detecting" and I hear the sound every time. Does anyone know what this issue is?
I have had my phone for around 4 weeks and it was working fine until yesterday when it starting making a random notification sound on and off all day. It was happening when I had the phone in my hand and when I had the phone on the table next to me. One thing I have noticed is that it only does it when the screen is not locked. Sometimes it did it 10 times in a row other times only once and then not again for an hour. Oppo Support tried all the troubleshooting and nothing worked. We have turned all notifications off and the sound it is making isn't a sound that I have saved for any sort of notification - it is the sound an iphone makes when a charger is disconnected. The next step is for me to do a full factory re-set which I am very reluctant to do - I found transferring my data to this phone extremely slow/frustrating. Does anyone know why this would be happening?
