Hi,
This is a minor issue but annoying. When the phone unlocks it makes a dull beep, kind of like the power lead unplug sound, when it unlocks. It has only started recently and I have gone through every setting I can find but nothing seems to relate to it.
As I said its minor but someone may have had the same issue.
Thaks for any help.
Weird... in Sounds and vibrating the sound for lock/unlock can be disabled, but you already tried that?

My Nexus S 4G has been running Gingerbread since I got it upon its release. Until a couple weeks ago, I never used the screen lock feature. Now I'm using the pattern unlock. Works great. When I lock the screen with the Power button, I hear a faint 'click' sound. This is the lock sound. It's always done that. When I unlock with the pattern, no sound. It's always done that. The other day, I got the Ice Cream Sandwich update. Still using the pattern unlock. Still no sound when I unlock with the pattern. Today, for no obvious reason, my phone is playing a sound when I unlock it with the pattern. (Actually, I just turned off screen lock altogether and it plays a sound when I just turn the screen on with the Power button.) I see alot of people are having issues getting their unlock sound to play. I don't want the unlock sound. It's annoying, especially if I'm having a texting conversation. Is there any way to stop the unlock sound from playing? Thanks.
check your sound settings and untick the screenlock sound
Nope
Unchecking the Screen lock sound in Settings only removes the screen lock sound -- the faint click sound. Ghe unlock sound is still being played.
Media Volume
I don't know about ICS, but in Gingerbread, the screen lock sound volume (and keyboard ticks for that matter) are dependent of the level of the media volume. So if you have your media volume down all the way, you won't hear the lock sound (or keyboard click).
To change media volume in Gingerbead (should be similar in ICS)
from home screen..
menu>settings>Sound>Volume>adjust slider to the right to increase, left to decrease
OR
You can just play some music/game sounds and push the volume up button.
hope that helps!
That's weird...
Since my last post, I hadn't changed anything. The screen lock sound was disabled. The next day, the unlock sound stopped playing. I figured it must've had something to do with the fact that screen lock sound was disabled. I re-enable screen lock sound. Now, the screen lock sound (the faint click) plays but now there is no unlock sound -- just the way I like it and the way it used to be before I started this thread. I've noticed some other annoying things with ICS since it's been installed (like not always showing the contact info/picture for an incoming call even though their CallerID number is being displayed). I'll just chalk this up to annoying behavior. Thanks for the replies.
HI,
MY LG G2X has developed a new bug and not sure how to fix it. The volume goes mute often meaning, i am missing calls. not able to listen to ring tone. For example if someone is calling, if I hold on to my mobile, I can see the call on screen but without ring volume. Only after force restart the volume comes back but this happens many times in a day. I am missing calls often because of this bug. Someone having similar bug? any fix for this issue?
I have tried factory reset, but still not able to fix the bug. Any suggestion, appreciated..
Is it just ringing that gets muted or all audio?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Need more info. What ROM, baseband, kernel etc.
Edit: something very silly used to happen to me sometimes when the ringer would turn low or even off when phone was in my pocket because the vol- was being pressed accidentally... am sure yours isn't that but figured it won't hurt to mention.

Bow your head for the android's prayer... I am an android, but I can change, if I have to, I guess
Love this phone, with 1 exception. For some reason I periodically hear my default notification sound, but when I unlock the phone there is no visual evidence of a notification. Sometimes it repeats the sound the sound for about 30 seconds too.
I downloaded "Notification History" app and it doesn't show anything either.
Any ideas what I may be able to do to figure out what is causing this issue?

I've read on other threads that other people would have this happen, with random chargers. So if yours is plugged in this could also be the case for you, but i have not ran into this at all..
The vibration of my htc A9 no longer works well. The phone vibrates for notifications and phone calls, but, in vibration mode at office, it does not emit any noise when placed on any surface so I do not hear it.
I've rooted and s-off the phone so HTC support does not agree to repair it under warranty, even if it is a mechanical problem that that cannot be caused by the root on stock rom without any modification.
Do you have any suggestions for me?
Obviously I did a hard reset, tried to do all the tests possible, but nothing changes. I also installed a module that carries the vibration Exposed to 200%, but you do not hear anything anyway.
At this point, however, I can do nothing, but I wanted to know if there is a way to set to vibrate the phone's ringer keeping active the sound of notifications.
Thanks in advance!
Pixel 2 XL Issues Dialer extremely slow & Deafening notification beeps during calls
Hi all,
I had a quick search on the forums but couldn't find anything related to this. I'm unsure if it's a problem with just the Pixel 2 XL or Android. I've installed all OTA updates and the phone is running 8.1.0. It had both of these errors prior to updating. I have also replaced the entire handset and tested again. Still occurring. I have a Pixel 2 also, which does NOT experience these issues. I'm also running stock, no root/roms. *edit* I went through Google support for both issues, they couldn't find any solutions. They suggested a factory reset and then replaced the handset.
The dialer:
Intermittent problem. Basically when you open the dialer or a contact and initiate a call, the app often freezes for an indeterminate amount of time. It could be 10 seconds it could be over a minute. Eventually it will move to the "call" screen and then freezes/lags again. Once more this can be any length of time up to a minute or more. All other apps work perfectly fine during this process. Eventually the call initiates and you can hear it ring, once in call everything behaves normally.
The notifications:
This one is simple. During a call receiving an SMS or other notification results in an electronic beep sound which plays at full volume. It does the same thing after the call ends. I'm not sure if it's using call or external speakers as the volume is so damn loud it doesn't matter. It legitimately causes me to throw the phone away from my ear and I cannot hear anything besides buzzing for 20 minutes. It actually hurts.
Nothing I do has stopped this except to turn on DND before I make or receive a call, which is useless. I read a few other threads about this being a new feature in 8.1.0 and "intentional". However I think those are referring to the call end beep, or notifications during a call that make the designated notification sound, not a deafening beep. The threads I read suggested removing third party apps and phone permissions, I used a brand new handset and the beeps still happened.
Please does anyone have a suggestion? I'll try anything at this point.

If you don't have issues with the Pixel 2 and do have issues with the Pixel 2XL, why don't you ask in the Pixel 2XL forum?

Hey, did you get any answers on this,. I'm having the same frustrating issue.
I just started to have this problem a few days out of nowhere. Some on Reddit are having issues too.
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/80qh32/pixel_2_xl_dialer_problems/
I found that plugging the phone into charge or computer fixes the issues for a little bit...
Had similar issues with my Verizon Pixel 2. After some searching, I restarted the phone in safe mode and the problem went away, meaning it's a non-stock app interfering with the phone app. I restarted in 'normal' mode, uninstalled Facebook (it's always f'ing Facebook), and have had zero issues since.
