Hi people from XDA,
today i tried a few things with my S7 running resurrection Rom with Android 9, which resultet in a boot loop. I tried using unofficial xposed framework and some recommended modules. This Problem got solved with a factory wipe inside my recovery.
After the wipe, i obviously had to setup my system again.
Then it happened: a constant ringing sound was heard, sounding more like a ringtone. I tried killing all background apps and playing around with the sound settings, but nothing worked. I rebootet the phone and it seemed to have solved the problem, until it started again after some time. I checked for malicious apps and all kinds of settings, including do not disturb and other stuff.
What I did find out, was the fact, that the tone was linked to the ringing volume slider/setting.
I would appreciate any help, but nothing like turning off the sound. I want to know the source and reason for it to happen.
I have some new information. The tone is played, when i have unread messages in my status bar. After opening all the messages from the bar, the tone stops. Sometimes its buggy, then it continues until there are new messages that I need to read to make it stop.
Edit: I found the "name" of the tone. i didn't find it under ringtones nor notifications, but under wake up sounds. The name was Argon, but there were two Argon Sounds, which is weird i guess. the lower one sounds more minimalistic and the upper one is the one im currently having problems with. It sounds longer and more like a "happy" tune.

OK so just delete it from system directory.
Such a simplistic idea! Thanks. Didn't thought of that. I'll try it.

Tried it, but it made some interesting things with my phone. Although the file was from alarm sounds, notifications suddenly had "19" listed as a set sound, which was actually nothing. I changed it to "none" and waited for notifications to test it. I think it worked, but i cant remember, because i had some unrelated (or maybe related?) issues. My magisk manager stated, it had no magisk installed, meaning i didnt have root anymore. I tried to reinstall magisk, but that made my device reboot after a specific time after every boot. Right now i'm trying to fix my Rom. Feels bad.
Edit: Rom works perfect again. Deleted the sound file again and it seems to work.
For now my Problem got solved by deleting Argon from the alarms folder.
If I get any more errors, I'll post them.
I'm very thankful for your answer and I hope my explanation of my problem was not problematic.

After upgrading to lollipop, I have noticed when recieving a call that sometimes my phone will ring for about 1 second and then stop but continue to vibrate. I am not using any quick cover or anything. This doesnt happen all the time but it does happen quite often. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm completely stock on 5.0 (i have deleted my cache partition and the problem still persists)

Are you using a custom ringtone?

No, just the stock tones. I find it happening sometimes with my SMS messages as well but not all the time.
Update: I have since unlocked my bootloader (wiped) and rooted my phone and the problem still persist. Seems like I'm not alone, I have starred this so hopefully someone can see it. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=81178#makechanges
Anyone have any suggestions that I could try?
update
I had thought I had fixed the problem by re flashing the stock image of lollipop, the problem went away and my phone started to ring again but shortly its back to only vibrating. I noticed that the little vibrate symbol was popping up in the status bar whenever I received a call, even when I turned off the also vibrate for calls option. I then remembered that when I use the volume butler app and set it to my vibrate profile that symbol would also pop up. I uninstalled volume butler and everything seemed to be working fine. Next I Checked the play store for comments regarding the issue and I noticed two things: There was a recent fix "ringtone changing to silent upon first install" and it said that the app was installed onto my device and not requiring an update even though I had just uninstalled it. So I decided to open it up and it was as if I was starting the app for the first time as none of my previous data was in there for testing purposes I decided to set up the same profiles that I had before and try calling my phone and my phone rang like it should, weird. Perhaps I had two versions and that was the one that I originally uninstalled is that even possible?( I could have sworn I had updated it,as it was under the up to date app list) Regardless, I uninstalled it again and everything is still working as it should. Hoping that this was was the culprit I will continue to test my phone and see.
Does anyone else have a problem with notification sounds/ringtones after the phone goes into deep sleep? Have to reboot to fix the issue .

Has happened here twice. Had to reboot to fix it. My worry is that this could happen during the night so that the phone won't wake me up in the morning (the alarms don't sound either - in fact no sound at all can be played, be it from ringer, notifications, Spotify or YouTube).
Hasn't occurred now for three days, but I've rebooted each day due to separate issue which involves not notifications not being received unless I open the app (happens in Facebook Messenger and Signal).

Yeah, let's hope
Unfortunately it's back
Was able to find out the cause... Was the hike app intefering with system sounds.
Once notifications start coming up without sound, clear away the hike app from recents.. should fix the issue... Atleast it did for me
I'm noticing the exact same issue. Sitting here WATCHING my phone ring and making no sound. What exactly is the "hike" app? Is that something you've installed or is it a native app? I don't think I have that on my phone so I'm looking for a solution.

Its a third party app like WhatsApp... I'm certain the issue you are facing is due to a third party app... Next time the sound stops, try clearing your recent apps... And see if that fixes the issue ...
I'm having the same issue and I do not have the hike app

It could as well be another third party app... Doesn't necessarily have to be hike..... Try and see if clearing your recent apps fixes the issue for you
What does clearing mean? Like delete my apps?

I am also running into this issue. Im still in the process of uninstalling apps one by one to narrow it down if it is an app thats causing it. Has anyone pin pointed what is causing this? Im almost ready to factory reset the phone and add the apps back one by one but I would rather not spend the time.

I had that same issue with certain apps. For me though, I didn't realize the extent of Data Saver and had to allow Gmail and whatnot to have unrestricted access and then they started popping in right away.
You wouldn't happen to use Data Saver on your phone?
Just a thought
Cheers!
I appear to have this issue however, safe mode, factory resetting, etc does not fix it. I do not get notification/phone/music sounds.
This issue is still there even after the 8.1 update... Anyone got it fixed?
For me the notifications won't make any sounds, they pop up but silently. I tried playing some music and the speaker works, I also didn't have any issue with alarms. Just notifications.

I have a Nexus 6P and my wife has a Pixel XL and we were both having the same issue with 8.1, no notification sound with text messages and call ring tone. I did most of the suggestions that I have found online (factory reset, clear cache/data in messaging app, change sound) but none of them worked. I was about to downgrade to 8.0 but I saw that both of the apps (messages and phone) were being "optimized". I disabled battery optimization on messages and phone, rebooted and so far it seems to have fixed it. My only guess is that they optimized those apps a little too much. Good luck.

I also noticed the issue on v8.1 that I flashed a few days ago. Thought it would have been fixed by now. Ended up downgrading to v7.1.2 again to fix the issue.
Oreo is NOT ready for prime time in my opinion.
It has happened 2 times now with my Google Pixel 2, where out of nowhere, the phone makes a very alarming FULL VOLUME airhorn blast sound. One time it was while the phone was resting idle on my work desk, and the other time happened just this morning shortly after I silenced my alarm clock. I'm assuming whatever process makes the sound somehow overrides the volume to 100% as it was loud enough to wake my entire family. Both times there was no visible notification, nothing on the screen out of the ordinary, and I've searched the storage and /system for any trace of such offensive sound effect.
Does anyone know what would cause such a noise? I'd love to track down the sound file and rename a silent .wav or .ogg in its place. It is beyond annoying and alarming. In my panicked half-awake stupor, I managed to save the logs from OS Monitor, but I have no idea what to look for. I've scrolled through hundreds of entries between the timestamps when the alarm sounded, but nothing "stands out", but I really don't know what to look for in this regard.
In looking through the logs, I'm wondering if the monthly OTA update couldn't download due to my unlocked bootloader, and sounded an alarm? Is that a possibility?
Sounds like a prank. Are there any apps installed that you don't recognize?

After the first time it happened I was a bit suspicious so I went through and removed all apps that I didn't use on a regular basis and all games. I ran a few scans looking for malware and such, but it all came up clean. About a month later the sound happened again, so I'm a bit baffled. Unless there is some type of culvert program running in the background disguised as something else, I'm really at a loss.
I recently flashed the monthly update, so if it happens again, I might just go ahead and do a full wipe.
Recently as a safety precaution, I removed nearly all apps the other day. It happened again this morning. I suppose it's time for a full wipe. I'm a bit irritated because I have no idea of the origins of whatever it is, and since I don't recall ever having any questionable apps installed, I'm not sure if one of the apps I use will revive this symptom.
I just got my son an S21+ and the notification sounds don't work. Ringtones work fine and when I go to the list of ringtones every one previews when I select them, but when I go to the notification sounds, I can choose any one on the list and no sound comes out of the phone. I also copied a notification sound file over from my Note 10+ and it plays it in an external app, but not when I choose it in the list of notification sounds.
System sounds don't seem to work either. When I unlock the screen or plug in the charge cord, it doesn't make any sound either. The only system sound that seems to work are ringtones, and the phone actually rings when I call it.
I searched online and checked everything I found and could possibly think of. Since nothing happens when choosing ANY sounds in the notification sounds list, it seems like some sort of android issue. Do Not Disturb is NOT enabled, and all volumes are maxed out. There are no particular apps muted. I don't know if it's a hardware or software issue, but it seems like that part of the system is just broken. The phone did update to 13 as soon as I set it up, so I have no idea if it worked before that. I did a factory reset, cleared cache, and ran the repair apps from recovery, and it still doesn't work.
Just wanted to post on here an see if anyone had this issue and if so what else it could possibly be before I send the phone back and get something else. It is also a refurbished phone which I guess could have something wrong with it, but almost every phone I have ever owned was a preowned phone and this is the first I have had an issue with. Any info is appreciated.
I realize that this was posted 6 months ago but my phone has the same problem and I would like to know if a fix was found ?
I posted on here and a few other forums and got nothing but crickets. I ended up just returning the phone and buying another one and it worked fine. Did you get the phone like that or was it working fine and then one day it wasn't?
Hi since couple of days I have issues with my notifications, when I set notification sound for certain app, it just reverting to default, also sometimes it seems like android dosn't remember that I didn't allow notification for making sound, and it still allow it to make it and it's default. I'm thinking that some app is messing with settings, but I ca't figure out which one. I'm posting logcat , I tried to figure it out myself, but i'm not so good with android logs Any help would be apriciated
How to Change Notification Sounds for Each App on Your Android Phone
Customizing the notification sounds on your phone makes it easy to hear when your most important apps are sending you alerts.

I did this, for each app that I needed notifications and it worked like always, but from a couple days it keeps back reverting to default notification sound, no matter what I do
