Random Beeping - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Is anyone else hearing a random beeping, maybe 10 second intrvals, whether charging or not? I initially thought it was some type of notification for roaming, but I checked when it was doing it and I was not roaming. Nothing to do with wifi either as it's happened whether turned on or off, connected or not. I believe it is some type of notification, but I just can't figure what it is for. It's not any of the installed notification sounds, so not some type of default that I could have missed. It's annoying, random, and frustrating me.........Restart or battery pully won't make it stop.

I can't see beeps, Daredevil. Not all of us are so fortunate to have sound vision.

Try a factory reset. And also, chill. It wasn't an attack on your family. It was a light hearted joke.

Lol u gotta admit his response even tho asshole-ish was at least a lil bit funny. But about ur problem no I'm not getting that or have ever got that. If its not an installed sound then its definitely an app.
But beeping at 10 second intervals is crazy that means if its really an app then its updating a little bit too much.
Why Dont you uninstall ur apps one at a time and see which one fixes the problem when removed?

Saw this in another thread. People say they stopped this with a reboot. The cause is being looked into. Hope this helps.

Yeah, I'll be a lot clearer on my wording going forward!!!!
I've tried everything suggested here, no luck. Can't replicate it, reboot-reset-battery pull won't stop it. I do believe it has something to do with Mobile Network State. Settings/About Device/Status. MNS is disconnected, no beeping. Last time it did it I checked there thinking it was roaming notification. Was not roaming, but MNS showed as connected. Beeping stopped when that eventually went back to disconnected. I'm using Synergy Rom,r60.

I havent noticed any battery difference. Seems less for me than a continuous call. After a few seconds silence the connection stops until someone pushes the talk button.

This is weird, me and a few of my family members use this app. It is great for me because I hate sustaining a conversation, so a few exchanged words and its back to whatever I was doing. I didn't notice any battery drain out of the ordinary.

Yeah i apologize i think it was probably my rom i had at the time.
battery kills me too. not during use, but when it is constantly pinging the server (even with use on WiFI only setting)
I will try reinstalling to see if I can fix it, but I wish it didn't have to CONTINOUSLY run in the background
okay i got it up an runnin, error on the roms side..fixed the rom now im TIKL away..it does seem to drain battery life..i have been using this rom for 4 days now with incredible battery life (22-30hrs). with TiKl up its down to 7-hrs...thas no good, but it has to stay on to get calls...so if you want to use it, then use it...if not then dont...no way to fix..if you kill the process/task then you will not recieve the calls

[Q] Question for fellow Rogers users

Hey guys, I am on the west (Vancouver) and I have had this very annoying issue and I want to know if anyone else has experienced it.
Once and a while, maybe ever hour or so into a call I am told my voice goes in and out briefly, I am still barely heard but it makes a few words extremely distant sounding. I have run stock and a few roms and reflash's of the rogers modem but to no avail. It might be a normal network thing but this never happened on my previous captivate.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks in advance!
It's the noise reduction on the phone that's doing that to you, happens to everyone once in a while. Turn it off in the settings if need be. Otherwise raise your voice momentarily and then talk again normally and it won't happen any more.
Wow this has been asked so many times that I didn't even have to type it, swiftkey typed it for me. Just had to keep pressing space lol

Never happened to me!!!
I don't think it's noise reductions, would suggest you flash this new modem.

Notification drop down list font weird behaviour

OK, got some pics and a video here! Should see what I was talking about.
http://youtu.be/3-UUMtQ9vdE
When you receive a notification, say an email, it shows a line in the notification drop down list. Press the line will open particular app. This is we all know.
But, have you noticed something like this? When press the notification line, don't release you finger but keep pressing it, sometimes, not often but did happen to me a few times, the font of the notification line became blurred and hard to read, unlike the normal case, it should be slightly smaller than the unpressed notification to indicate it's being pressed.
It's really hard to notice I know, since we just press it quickly and another app is opened right away. And, I tried to reproduce this but failed. So it just happens quite randomly or in a very certain circumstances.
Have you ever noticed this guys? Or can you try the same, press but not release when new notification comes in the future to see if it's just my phone?
Cheers!

updated pictures and video, could anyone help me on this? noticed this on your one s?
Just tried on a couple of different notifications. Held them for about 10 seconds with nothing other then the text getting smaller when initially selected.

Yes, this doesn't happen to me very often, I haven't figured out in what circumstances this would more likely to happen but maybe when battery is low, say about 15% or less. Could you and others just be mindful when clicking notification that will just be enough.
Cheers.

WEA Alert

So I'm sitting at my desk when all of the sudden my phone starts making this annoying sound like they use for severe weather alerts on TV. I was using a tethering app at the time so the first thing that popped in my mind is that Verizon detected it somehow and fried my phone to get even. But when I picked it up there was a message on the screen advising me that I might die in a possible flash flood that might occur in my area...
Pretty neat, I just hope we don't get them too often, especially in the middle of the night. Here is more info on it:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...hone-near-you/2012/05/18/gIQAqPBrZU_blog.html
I believe the stock TW messaging app has some emergency alert setting in it. Im not at my phone right now so i can't tell you exactly what it says.
Same thing here. Cool as Hell

ive gotten this twice since release day. One was for flood warning and the other tornado warning. Im in NYC WTF!!!! LOL scared the **** outta me! The tornado almost touching down in Midtown was one of the craziest things ive ever seen! I just wish we could change the ringtone, its loud and super annoying but I guess thats the point.
is there any way to disable, i dont wanna know if im gonna die :highfive:
Stock messaging app, settings, all the way at the bottom.

I haven't found a way to disable the presidential alerts without replacing the stock messaging app with the apk pulled from an AOSP rom.

You did read the article posted in the OP right? Regardless, badseed posted what likely is the easiest way to avoid these alerts.

LOL, that screeching thing went off on my phone a few days ago while I was sending a text (I have since disabled it).
It scared the sh!t out of me, I thought for sure my phone was totally fried......
WTF is a "presidential alert" & why can't I turn THAT off??

My guess would be alerts addressing state of emergency, terrorism attacks, or environmental catastrophe.

i was asking if any mod was made to remove it
Let's seriously not turn this into a political debate. It has nothing to do with one single President. The Emergency Alert System has been around for one time and a lot of the stuff we're seeing in phones now was initiated by Bush.
It's also something that pretty much everybody supports regardless of political affiliation. A national Presidential alert has never been issued, not even on 9/11, and would only be sent out in the case of an incredibly serious natural disaster or attack against the country. If you seriously want to be kept in the dark even if an emergency far worse than 9/11 happens, well, it sounds like you might have some trust issues.
Thread closed
The information on how to disable these alerts is contained within this thread, it's gone political, so thread cleaned and closed.

Weird sound randomly happens

Hello I am experencing a really weird sound that randomly happens on my skyrocket that doesnt seem to be associated with anything. I am on slim bean build 7. I have turned off nfc because I thought that might be it but it was not. Any thoughts?
What is the sound, is it a notification sound, or a system sound?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
No clue, just a random sound that I never herd before. Doesnt matter if the phone is pluged it or not, if the battery is full or almost empty, still happens. I'll try and record it.

Do you have any Voip apps? Social apps? Most voip or social apps (Viber,Facebook,Skype,etc) have their own preset notification sound. If you have any of these apps check the settings. Turn off notifications for those types of apps maybe?
