Captivate Beeping?

At random times my phone tends to lock up for like half a second and make an internal beep noise. Does anyone know what this is?

click or beep?
i had a widget clicking on me, NoLoc, if i didnt turn off lock screen myself at boot it would click every hour or so to "re-disable" locking screen. widget still worked, just clicked.
i guess if all else fails. go to stock, see if it still happens.

beeping. you know how when you turn on a PC and you get a beep from the mobo? something like that. tried to go stock already but it won't fix it. might try again, but i'm more curious to see if anyone else has encountered this?

I have that sometimes where the vibrate lags a little, lasts a bit longer, and makes a whining sort if noise.
Happens mostly when Swype is thinking too hard.

Yes! My guess is that it's the chip implanted in your head at birth sending data back to the government through your phone

It feels like it might be the CPU when that happens to me.

Okay well sounds other people experiencing but no serious issued cause because of it. Lets hope it stays that way!

problem with screenshots on 2.3.4

Got the update last night so thought I'd try some screenshots and it worked just fine, however today whilst in the messaging app I pressed Home and it took a screenshot, so I pressed it again and it took another. It was as though it was registering me holding in the power button too, which I wasnt. I had to press the power button to turn off the screen then wake it again and unlock in order to return to the home menu.
it also happened later on in the facebook app and I had to do the same. It's a rather annoying problem, as I then have to go and delete all the screenshots out the gallery too.
Anyone else encountered this problem?

Absolutely no one else has had that problem. It's not like many people have stated they have faced this issue and posted about it in several threads and/or started their own, right? You are a shiny unique snowflake for telling us about this problem. Thank you, for you have enriched everyone here with new and fascinating knowledge.

I came from a g2x where taking a screen shot us home plus power. I can try this with you but what is the key sequence on the sensation in oorder to screen cap?

It happened to me too a few days a go.

[Q] Camera turning itself on

Hi
I love my Sensation, but I do have one small problem. Whenever I use it I seem to catch the camera with my thumb and have to turn off the camera before I use the phone. I realise I could just move the camera button, but then I would just get the same issue with another app.
Has no-one else had this? It happens both with stock ROM and ARHD (currently using 6.6.5)

Not to be rude, but it doesn't sound like a "phone" issue...
To answer your question, no I do not have that problem.

Well, I beg to differ, but it is a phone issue, as that portion of the screen appears to be over-sensitive. I thought other people may have had the same problem and the fact that they haven't would seem to indicate that it could be a fault with my phone, which is what I was trying to establish.

Interesting choice of words there.

Overly sensitive?? You happen to touch the icon for the camera app, it opens, and you're surprised?
My goal here is to help, but...
Sorry, I'm speechless.

Really? Your goal appears to be condescension. I am not an idiot, I have owned other smartphones, even other HTCs, but even my palm on the side of the screen opens the camera. I am not even directly touching the icon.
Please don't bother replying to this, as it is not helpful, but IS very annoying.

Have you tried just kind of training yourself not to touch it? I believe that is the first and potentially last step to solving this problem.

Took phone back to shop, they agreed that the screen was faulty and it has now been fixed so that the problem no longer occurs.
Still, thanks for your help folks

Screen problems and a few doubts.

Hey, I have a bit of a problem. My screen is acting weird, clicking randomly or just not responding at all sometimes. The only way to fix it is to lock and unlock my screen. Sometimes, even that doesn't work. I also noticed a dead pixel on my screen. It's not very visible but annoying nonetheless.
Sometimes, after a call, my phone just stops responding, and I need to keep the power button pressed to restart it.
What could be reason for these problems? Also, I still have my warranty left. Would the service centre people be willing to fix an issue such as this?
I'm in college right now and won't be able to give it for service for another week. I'm not sure if parts are still available for our device. :/
Also, any news on the official India ICS update? I've been waiting for a while now, checking the forum every few hours for an update or a stable CM build. I know it devs can do it. Can't wait for it.
PS: Any news of epsy? He's been gone for a while now.
Sorry about so many questions. I'm just curious and kind of confused.

@ both persons above; thanks - I myself am facing some problems mentioned in OP (post-call phone dies, sometimes touch is unresponsive and have to lock/unlock screen, slight pixel problem) - and even my phone's warranty runs until Jan 2013.
I'll visit a service center ASAP (possibly this weekend if it's open or next week) and get it sorted.
Cheers!

may be its about your fingers huh? if u touch the screen with sweated or wet fingers, messaging is going to be nightmare
my advice is cleaning your screen with a clean and wet linen or cotton material, and then with a dry one.
also have a high quality screen protecter film.
if u have already tried this and the prob still occours, thats something that i dont have any idea

Thanks, I'll take it to the SSC as soon add i get home.
btw, i avoid using my phone with sweaty or wet hands, and since wiping the screen doesn't help, that's probably not it.
I think the screen guard might be the culprit after all. I've been thinking of changing it for a while now. any suggestions on which one to get?

Led notification light issues

Hi all
Just got my 2nd nexus 5, first one went back for touch screen issues. Got 2nd one and this has problem too.
If someone sends me a text the pulse notification light pulses once and that's it. No repeat. However after that if someone sends me a text it works as it should, ie repeats every 10 seconds.
Seems very random as to when it works properly. Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks all
Chris

Yes, people have this problem on stock rom.. It appears randomly though and not as often as you're getting. A restart fixes it... Are you using Light Flow or any app to control the LED??

No will light flow solve this?

May be, May be not. Even light flow has some random problems with LED notifications... For some people it works flawlessly, for some it doesn't... Only way is to try it out...

Trying it now seems to work ok. Strange that my last nexus didn't suffer this problem. Wounder if Google are aware of this issue?
Also on a side note not sure if it's related but I'm sure my first nexus 5 did a software update when I first took it out of the box, my new one did not do that.

Yes, I think they are aware of it... I remember reading it somewhere around XDA about it.. Can't find a link to it though.. I guess we will just have to wait for the update and see... FYI, a reboot fixes the issue temporarily..
It didn't update because the ones which were manufactured in January came with 4.4.2 Out of the box which is the latest update!

Thanks for your reply mate, for me when I reboot the first message does not work, then they seem ok after that, that's just for sms, I get no notifications at all with whatsapp etc, however light flow seems to work ok at moment but would be nice if Google did a fix.
