The above video shows how my Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910G, 5.0.1, unrooted, original) has for the last 2 months or so occasionally played an alert (audible only), which cannot be stopped.
No notification or other indication shows what app or service causes this alert, it is NOT happening at times that
a calendar or such should trigger but happens out of the blue.
I have tried stopping each and every APP, (terninate from 'usage timelines pro')
It is even impossible to turn of the sound (from the sound icon in the notification/settings), it just goes on,
The only remedy I have found is to restart the phone.
Does anyone here recognize this sound and can tell me what causes this?

It sounds like the timer expiration notice. Check in your clock app.
Yes it does, but I have no timer alerts set. Is there any way another app can set such timer alerts? Next time this happens (it's infrequent, thnank god, but when it happens it does so at themost inconvenient times , I'll check the clock app... Thanks.
Other suggestions still welcoms
All in a sudden my watch is not showing any notifications. I was working fine an hour ago. I was able to get notification from whatspp, gmail.....etc. Now it will not give me a beep , vibration. screen remains off.
I have checked the settings on the Samsung gear app on the phone, it seems fine.
Bump
I have issue with calendar reminders keeping screen on. I get reminder on the lock screen( not using always on display) for a calendar event and it would go away after what ever screen timeout setting is, then it comes right back. It would repeat this forever until calendar reminder event is dismissed.
I ask another guy at work and he is getting the same with "always on" enabled .
Anybody know how to fix this? I would expect that android would honor timeout setting and put phone to sleep after 1st reminder.
Thanks
ps I'm running nougat on Verizon
Can somebody replicate this for me? Set screen timeout for 15 seconds. Set up a meeting in google calendar with starting in 7 minutes and reminder 5 minutes before meeting. Then wait for reminder on lock screen to pop up, don't touch anything and let screen timeout. See if screen will get activated again and go off after 2nd screen timeout.
If you get the same behavior, please report. I think there is something wrong with this as if you had a meeting reminder and the phone in you pocket, the phone battery will drain fast and phone gets hot of course.
Thanks
im having the same issues with my s7e. phone calls dont go allow the screen to go off either.
I have the same problem. This started only recently for me on the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge with AT&T. The screen will keep coming back on with the notification every 5 seconds and the battery getting drained.
Somehow it appears that this is related to my Samsung Pay account but I can't figure out how/why.
So every morning i pick up my phone and turn my display on. After a few seconds notifications from whatsapp, mail, etc. start popping up. Some messages came hours ago. Same happens when phone is a long time in my pocket. Turned off battery optimization. Didnt help. Happens on wifi and mobile data. Anyone else?
I think I always forget about the niggles I have with the CN version of Xiaomi phones and then still buy another. Currently got the EU firmware, and still the same issue.
Common problem for me anyway is the Google Clock app. The alarm fails to go off and the widget still displays the alarm time of the missed alarm, e.g. it says Tue 6am when I do finally wake up, and not display Wed 6am as expected.
I've turned off battery optimisation, and it still fails to go off. If I test it by setting an alarm for a few mins time it works every time.
Similar to Gmail notifications and other apps. When the phone is not used for a while, notifications don't come through until the phone is used.
Any idea how I get the alarm clock to wake up and then wake me up?
Have you tried to lock the app using the recents menu? Open recents using the 3 lined or menu button and then hold the clock app, then select the padlock.
Might keep it active for you
Thanks. Will report back tomorrow if I wake up in time
On top of the memory-lock mentioned above, I'd also recommend turning on autostart for the app

Thanks. I can now see it's tried to autostart several times and been denied so set that to allow. Cheers.
Sadly I didn't wake up this morning (until my iPhone alarm went off.)
The phone just seems fast asleep until I wake it, then it starts receiving all the overnight notifications that my old phone would have just got silently and be there waiting when I look.
I will set an alarm for the morning and report back.
Thanks! I'll try the pre-installed clock app and see if that works.
The Xiaomi clock app works, so seems to be just the Google apps that fall asleep.
Mine went off as planned. Attached screenshot shows it being set off from notifications. Maybe check your notification settings?
Thanks. It goes off if I test it and set it to say 5 mins time, it seems to only be when the phone has not been used for some time, say midnight to 6am, then it seems to have gone to sleep itself. If I wake up early and check the phone, the alarm goes off, so notifications should be ok in that case?
Mine was set night before and in the screenshot you can see that I checked it after 6 and then the phone was left on charge with the screen off as it would normally be over night.
I think I may have fixed it. My alarm has gone off the last two days at least.
I turned off "sleep mode" in battery settings, hidden away under smart scenes.
