Question Random sounds - Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

For the last few weeks my watch has been making a random woosh kinda sound. No notification associated with it and totally random. Same result with different watch faces.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Did it start happening after any update you received?

I think it started before the most recent LTE update (VD4)

Hi,
Is anyone else having an issue In Hangouts of text not appearing when typed.
I'm suffering with this on my N5 and the only way to rectify it seems to be a reboot. Its not a major inconvenience but it does strike me as odd that it only seems to occur in Hangouts and not in other G apps or 3rd party apps like Whatsapp etc.
If anyone else is having this problem or has found a fix for it do let me know.
Thanks,
Jim
I've had it happen a few times over the past couple months. I normally just go back to the conversation list, and it fixes it.

:laugh: You mean, since released.
It was buggy (not sending to random people) for me last week, but after uninstalling and installing a the latest update, so far good.

Text Notifications - Gear2

I think maybe since the latest update, I am not getting any text message notifications to my Gear 2.
(Samsung Galaxy 7Edge
- I have checked and unchecked the notifications
- other notifications seem to work (email, phone calls, facebook messenger)
- rebooted the phone and watch
- disconnected and reconnected
- did a light reset on the watch
all of the above have not helped resolve this.
Is there something i am missing? Is this caused by the recent update? I am currently using 2.2

As an update to this thread, after the light reset, i did a few tests, and that seemed to have worked. If anyone else is experiencing the same, please post and let us know.

Do you do a light restart from the Gear 2? This has worked for me, but when i restarted the watch it seemed to have reverted back. So now i just leave the watch on for now. It lasts me at least 2 days before i have to charge it again.

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).

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.

Since Oreo update notification sound plays more times but no notification is shown

Hi Guys,
Two days ago my Galaxy S8 downloaded the new software update for installing Oreo, and I have installed it. Since then there are many times that my phone is playing the notification sound several times after another but there is no notification shown, and it is very annoying. There are times when the notification sound is played 6-8 times and nothing is in the notification area. Does anybody having the same problem? Is this an Oreo bug? Can it be solved somehow?

I have a very similar sounding problem since the Oreo update, still trying to narrow down the culprit, tempted to factory reset the phone at this rate.

I'm having the same issue. All I've read has to do with the notification reminder but I have that option off. Don't want to factory reset but at this point seems like the only option.

Since updating to 5.1.8 - No notifications for Slack, Skype or email!

UPDATE: Factory Reset solved issue with notifications not coming in. But all notifications now play at 100% volume, even with ringer and notification volume set all the way down to 10%.
Phone Status: Bootloader unlocked, unrooted & running completely stock. Notification slider is set to "Ring".
I must say, I'm extremely annoyed with my Oneplus 6 and OOS at the moment. I was out of the office today, enjoying time with the wife on her rare day off. I kept thinking to myself that it was an oddly slow day since I wasn't getting any Slack, Skype for Business, or email notifications. But it is a Friday, so I didn't put much additional thought behind it.
I got back home late this afternoon and logged onto my computer, only to discover that I've been missing time sensitive messages and emails from clients all freaking day. Needless to say, this is quite frustrating and it has even put me in a bit of a bind with one of my clients. It's especially infuriating considering that it's not just 1 app, it's 3 of my most crucial apps. I even have the Slack, Newton Mail and Skype for Business apps all set to "Don't Optimize" within battery settings. So there is no reason these notifications shouldn't be coming through. I've tried rebooting and that hasn't solved the problem. Even as I sit here and watch new emails and Slack messages come in on my computer, I'm getting absolutely no alerts/notifications on my phone.
This is not an issue I've ever experienced with my Pixel XL, Pixel 2 XL or my iPhone X. It's a big enough problem that I've resorted to popping my sim back into my iPhone X and throwing the OnePlus 6 in a drawer, until I can get this problem sorted. I'm so pissed that I'm considering just putting the OP6 on Craigslist and never buying a OnePlus phone again. If I can't trust it to give me notifications when they come in, it's useless to me and, quite frankly, costing me money.
However, I will say that prior to receiving the OOS update to 5.1.8 yesterday, I do not recall missing any app notifications. So I'm thinking the recent update is the culprit. Is anyone else experiencing issues like this? If so, have you found a solution?
Regardless, it's quite disheartening to discover the hard way that this phone/software isn't able to properly handle something as basic as prompt message notifications. Even if I get the problem solved I'm not sure I'll ever fully trust it again and will inevitably resort to constantly opening each app, just to make sure.
Do you have advanced optimization turned on? Did you check Settings>Notifications to be sure they weren't blocked somehow?
You might try clearing data and reinstalling the apps. I have not had any issues with notifications nor heard of this issue from anyone else, thought I don't use Slack or Skype.

Just checked and "Advanced Optimization" is not enabled. I also went into Settings > Notifications and confirmed that those apps are not blocked. I might try a full factory reset to see if that solves it. Super annoying.

I think a full wipe is needed with OEM ROM updates on this phone, at least if you have root/TWRP. Mine goes all ****y with notifications and bluetooth and fingerprint in 3rd party apps when I update.

I think you're right. I've received 3 software updates since getting the phone and each time it throws my finger prints out of whack. Deleting them and re-creating them fixes it though.
I'll go through the factory reset and get everything reinstalled when I get more time in the morning.
I'm having the same issue with telegram..what's app seems to be working fine though
I'm having the same issue with Aquamail and my Facebook app (Power Facebook) and both are set to ignore battery optimizations.

While I'm sorry to hear you guys are experiencing these issues, I must say that it's relieving to discover I'm not the only one. I'm convinced the 5.1.8 update broke something with notifications. I'm hoping a factory reset fixes it. Going to try that here in a bit.

These updates are breaking a lot of things. Bluetooth functionality for me was fine in 5.1.5, when I received the phone - was broken since updated.
Oneplus needs to concentrate on quality control. It is clearly the weakest point of the phone and the company.
Is it surprising that Oneplus paid an influencer to make a video about how their quality control is so great?
I think not.

Yeah, I'm thinking about doing a clean install of Android P DP2 to see if that solves my issues. Not to happy with the "stable" OOS, at the moment.
I had issues with Hangouts mainly and not receiving any notifications so I downloaded the full 5.1.8 zip, factory reset then installed it in twrp and now no issues

Didn't bother with P DP2 since it apparently has a few notable bugs, including Google Assistant not working properly.

Yes, we discussed this in post #2 and #3.
I ended up not having time to mess with my phone this weekend. And things have actually gotten worse. For some reason my ringtone and notifications (when they do come through) play at maximum volume, even if I turn the notification sound slider all the way down to minimum. Reboots don't solve it. Also, my ringtone is randomly changing to this obnoxious beeping noise. I reset it back to the "OnePlus Tone" and it works for 1-2 calls. Then on the 3rd call it's back to the obnoxious new beeping tone, regardless of who is calling.
It's as if the phone is possessed, at this point.

Yeah, I think I need to do a fresh install of the 5.1.8 factory image. I don't see another way to solve this. OnePlus has really caused quite the mess with these updates. It's probably resulting in costly warranty returns/exchanges for them as well. If a fresh install of 5.1.8 doesn't solve it I'll be selling the phone. These days, I don't have time to be dealing with ridiculous issues like the ones this phone has.

Sounds like you have malware. Or you are going crazy
EDIT: if you want a solid but discounted phone, check out Samsung website for discounts on their S9s - they have run $150 and $200 discounts on S9s in the past, and I got one and set it up for a friend. Top notch. But those discounts don't usually last more than a day.

I did a factory reset then installed TWRP and reinstalled the stock 5.1.8 ROM through TWRP a few hours ago. All has been working fine since. We'll see if it stays that way.
Same with Spotify, 5.1.8 seems to be killing the notification so the app gets killed in the background. Notifications seem to be wonky on 5.1.8.

It's been a few days since I did a factory reset and fresh install on 5.1.8. Notifications seem to be coming in as they should be. However, I'm finding that no matter what audio level I set my notifications and ringer to, notifications always play at full 100% volume. This remains the case even if I turn ringer and notification volume down to like 10%.
I swear this phone is possessed.
