[Q] Nonsense Notification - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've only noticed this when my phone is plugged in: About every 20 minutes, it will make a notification sound comprised of 5 quick melodic notes. I look at the phone, and there are no new messages, no apparent syncing going on... I can't figure out what is triggering this notification. Nothing in the status bar either... Weird

Hmm, that's weird. Are you using the phone usually when this happens? Or is it when its idle?

It might be the weird sound that happens when you lose signal, do you have weak signal at home?

[Q] Stop JB Calendar notification from playing for over 30 minutes?

Since JB I've noticed that the calendar notifications went from signalling once to a continuous drone that rings and rings until the device is attended to. My alarm clock isn't even anywhere near this persistent.
I don't see any means to change this behavior at all except to turn off notifications completely.
This is not meeting friendly and happens to be extremely annoying when you have multiple devices.
Anyone know of a fix? Did I miss something? Or did someone program in this change and considered this absurdly long notification time an improvement?
No one has noticed this or it doesn't bother anyone?
I think that's hard to imagine...!

Really? That's very interesting. This happens on my Galaxy Nexus as of 4.1.1 and my Nexus 7.
It did not happen before my JB update.
Interestingly NO ringtone is selected when I "choose ringtone" from the calendar app. Maybe that has something to do with it.
Well that's it.
The calendar notification was some built-in and non-selectable notification. When using that notification it continued for over 30 minutes. After selecting a ringtone/notification from the list the problem went away and the notification file is only played once.
Strange behavior.

Random vibrates with no notifications?

So I just started noticing this happening and I'll just have my one sitting on my desk and it will quickly vibrate twice with no kind of notification after I unlock. It doesn't happen a lot just every once and a while. Any ideas?
I get the same thing. I think you're having the same issue I'm having, and you are getting a lot of random hot battery warnings. That causes a notification, but disappears quickly, so you may not see it by the time you unlock the phone...
you guys using an .apk like betterbattery stats to hopefully solve this?

My battery hasn't been getting hot at all though so I don't know why I would be getting a hot battery warning.

mine wouldn't be hot it would go off like a normal notification, but nothing there. doesn't happen alot so really not bothering me. :good:
rooted?
stock?
ROM?
I am stock unrooted. I get the same thing, but my notification sounds off and vibrates. No kind of notification though. The only thing I have been able to link it too is that a few minutes later I would get an MMS group message. I imagine it is receiving that a message has been sent, but then has to download the content.

I'm in the same boat and I think you might be right, at least one of the times I got the notification and then probably 10 seconds later got a new email.

sounds to me like HTC found a way into the future an their new innovation is making the phone sound before the notification comes in!
sorry, too early in the morning, need coffee.
anyway, this is a really strange thing
you'd think it would sound AFTER the notification if anything

my battery isn hot to the touch either. I just get random warnings. pretty annoying
So I called support at htc and the guy said to try a soft reset or try booting in safemode and see if it might not be a 3rd party app. causing it. I don't know if any of you have tried either of these, I'm currently trying out the soft reset and see if that fixes it.

I don't receive any battery warnings, my Exchange account will vibrate twice when I receive a new message.
Mine was doing the same thing every few seconds until about 20 min ago, ( it's also been giving me a hard time connecting to charge) so I thought of the old school Nintendo! I blew in it, didn't work but it did reveal a big piece of dust that was in there, used a piece of pointy plastic to get it out, only 23min so far but no jiggeling hope I fixed it!!

Repeated Double beeps during calls?

When making calls with this phone I get a quick double beep during any phone call I make - I thought it was a minute minder type of thing but it's not occuring at the minute mark, though at apparently regular intervals. Anyone else have this? It's driving me nuts!
I've noticed this as well, also while streaming music...I think it's when the phone bounces between LTE and Hspa?
It's a text notification. I had the same problem, took me a while to realize what it was.
I have same problem with beep but no any text notification pops up.
It is all notifications. FB, text, whatsapp, all of them.

What do you mean?
I noticed this to but on my LG watch sport. I thought it might be because of me running the beta. Normally it means I'm getting a notification but I'm not getting anything. Weird!

Every time your phone gets a notification while you are on a call you will get the 2 beeps. Hopefully they give us the option to turn this off soon.

Oh snap! That's what this is?! What an idiotic "feature". Thank you for sharing this discovery - I was worried that I was missing a minute minder setting somewhere or my calls were being recorded or something, though unlikely.

Notification issues

Two Verizon Note 8s in this house. Neither one is handling notifications well. We're coming from two Note 4s that never had any issues with notifications.
Issues:
1. I have twitter, facebook, gmail installed and am using the Verizon messenger app. My phone generally makes sounds when I get a notification, but the notification light only blinks every once in a while. I don't use AOD, so I rely on the notification light to tell me when I have notifications. There have been times when my phone has been idle for an hour or two where I don't get notifications until I turn on the screen.
2. Wife's phone. She gets a lot more notifications than I do. She is having problems with notifications not coming in after the phone sits idle for a few hours. Once the phone screen is turned back on, all of the notifications come rushing in and she gets a ton of alert sounds in a row.
I have not been able to figure out what's going on with this. I checked to make sure that do not disturb is turned off. Neither one of us use it.
Is this a software issue, or something that we're not doing correctly? On Note 4, notifications just worked. There wasn't anything special needed.
Thanks

It may be a software issue. this affects the S8/S8+ also. More and more reports on notifications not coming through especially text.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
So, if it is on the S8/S8+, then it's unlikely that they'll ever do anything useful to fix it?
Notifications are the one thing that I hate about this phone. They're completely unreliable and I have to turn on my phone to check and make sure that I didn't have anything come in. It's the one thing that makes me miss my Note 4.
I have this problem since Nougat on all my devices. For me it was the power saving features, forgot exactly which one, but it basically shut down the apps totally until I woke the phone up.
Just an edit to my post. When I pickup or awake the device all my notifications come through at once , is that what you are talking about ?
If you find a solution let me know.

Yes. In my case, it is not always picking up notifications for GMail. I tried to add GMail to the list of unmonitored apps, and it was not available. I'm not sure what else I can do.

Hello mate, it happens to my Galaxy tab s2 on Android 7 often. As soon as I open it out of standby all telegram messages pop over. Weird thing is , it doesn't always behave that way as I can hear my Telegram and what's app notifications on that sometimes when using same account etc on the Note 8.

Well, it's annoying as hell. My Note 4 never did this. I could always rely on getting my notifications.
Makes me wonder if I should use the regular email app for Gmail, and then dump the GMail app.

Luckily for me the Gmail account isn't my primary email address. Have you whitelisted some apps from power saving to see if it changes the notification behavior?

There is a setting to notify all mail you may need to turn on.

Probably except as it's a built in Google app.
I guess that leaves you with the option of what you mentioned earlier. Add the Gmail account to the existing email app. Bummer.

It's on. It notifies sometimes, but if the phone has been in standby for a while, it stops. It definitely seems like a doze issue.
Same problems here
Notifications hit or miss. I have disabled all the power saving options, disabled all the restrictions on the individual apps, disabled all the data restrictions on the apps. Everything I could think of. Once the phone has been sitting for about 10 minutes on the desk, it seems to just go to sleep. Nothing comes through until I pick it up and start doing something with it. Then the notifications all seem to come in at once. This seems to hold true for any messaging app, email, etc. This is a horrible problem.

My wife is having the same issue, but on a Sprint Note 8. When she opens her phone in the morning she get's a bunch of notifications pouring in from several different apps. So since y'all are VZW and we're Sprint it has to be specific to the phone and not the network. this has me worried because it's text messages and everything if she hasn't touched the phone in an hour or more.

Same problem here.
Note 8 Germany DBT - no branding.
Since last week notifications wont come through when the device is idling. I have paired it with a Garmin Fenix 5x and set it to pass the important notifications via Smart Notifications to the watch.
This no longer works and I missed some important notifications. I have to change my behaviour to regularly check my phone and this is very annoying!

Question Constant notifications going through bluetooth

Probably 5-10 times a day when wearing my bluetooth headset I get the notification sound that goes off.
I've gone through about every setting that I can.
The sound is the notification I have chosen in settings. I changed it and when I did the sound changed to the new one. I can't figure out any way to tell what this is or turn it off.
I've had similar issues in the past, I used this app to find the culprit https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ikvaesolutions.notificationhistorylog

So do you wait to hear the noise and check what the latest app was? And then what do you do? Thanks.

Pretty much it, then you can identify the culprit app and deal with it accordingly. Whether that's uninstall or turn off the notifications of that app.
Its a strange deal never seen this before. I got two recent notification sounds a little bit ago through the bluetooth and went to look at the logs on the app and nothing was active in the last 10 minutes. So, I really don't know how to identify the app or what the constant notification is from.
I show no notifications in the top area of the phone and the app says nothing was happening right when the sounds happened.
Nothing has stopped this. About once an hour I get my chosen notification sound that goes off in my bluetooth headset and as far as I can tell there is no notification associated with it. Just a random sound.
I have searched around and stumbled on a page where they were talking about com.qualcomm.qtil.aptxui
Is that something that can give me random notifications?
