I always turn my phone off at night while it charges. I turned it on yesterday morning and after it booted while the media scanner was running it started playing some odd musical ringtone. It did it again this morning. I rebooted and it did it again. It will only stop playing if I tap the top of the screen or pull down the drop down menu. Odd thing is, the tone it plays is not a tone on my device. At least not one I can find. I've not installed any new apps in the past few days so I can't for the life of me figure out what is causing this. Has anyone else seen this before?
*Edit Forgot to mention that I am stock and rooted.
Wierd right? Mine does the same thing, but completely randomly.. ive tried to figure it out but had no luck.. must be some kinda glitch

Mine only does it when I reboot. I think the weirdest thing is I can't find the tune it's playing anywhere.
Ok, Don't know how I missed it the first two times but the tone it's playing is "Over the horizon" it's in my list of ringtones. Now to figure out why it's playing.
Good call, just checked my ringtones and sure enough thats what mines playing too..

I've got the same problem. :/
Update: I flashed a couple roms on my phone, and it seems that the music only plays with the stock t-mobile rom.
My phone does this to, do all GS2 phones do that. I didn’t notice it till a few weeks of owning the phone?
I've had mine for about 3 months now and it just started 3 days ago.
Just an update. Yesterday and today when I turned it on, no music....[puzzled/]
The only time it will do that is if you have unread messages or missed calls.
I hate it.. but I love the stock ROM.. since I'm rooted, I simply changed the file to something less annoying and replaced the S_Over_the_horizon.ogg file by naming my chosen ringtone/sound the same file name. it's located at /system/media/audio
Wow. Thanks for the update. At least not I know my phone isn't possessed.
An easy fix would be to record a quick .1 second wave file containing no sound. Convert it to ogg , rename it, and its gone for good

This has happened to me about 2 or 3 times now where my phone will get sumthing like a email and having already preset my notifications it will play a totally different one from The one I selected for instance I set my phone to ring audio1.mp3 and it would be fine then randomly a random file will play from my phone and I look in settings under notifications sounds n it would be changed to audio2.mp3.
It's not always the same one it changes to..and there's not particular time it does it ...well not dat I've noticed..happened once while I was browsing,once when I restart my phone, and once just out of the blue in idle..hasn't really gotten too annoying yet but just wanted to know if anyone else experiencing it..

It's happened to me before, I noticed it always happens after I add/delete files from the SD card, or after the SD card gets "prepared" like after a reboot or something.
Hmm bumping to see if we can get an answer....

At first I thought the rom I flashed on my GS2X was screwed so I flashed a stock rom and found the same was happening. Sometimes when a call comes in the phone does not ring and appears to be in silent mode when it is not?
Anyone know of some 'feature' that may be causing this?

You could try something, and I know itl sound weird but,
Change your ringtone, I had it happen to me a few times when I tested some of the roms on here..
That usually helped for me.
Or simply to you have motion on? Lol if so turning it upside down mutes it lmfao
Go to settings>MOTION>turn over to mute xD
And if that is it, I'm not gonna pick on ye, my buddy was wining about the same thing couple months ago n it was that, he got it for a few weeks.. I had my fun..
Thanks. I use phoneweaver to automatically change ringers and volume levels based on location etc and I think the settings aren't 'sticking' properly. I have never had issues until now on this phone. I noticed when this app changes the screen brightness even though the new value is shown in settings it has not actually changed. Maybe the same thing was happening on the ringer? The last time a call came in with no ring I quickly rebooted without changes and it rang when I called the phone so who knows...
I'll test further.
I have had my own SGS2 since it came out and have had no issues at all. I got one for my gf and gave it to her a few days ago and she already has experienced some strange issues. The most important of those issues is that the phone randomly (and quite frequently) goes into silent mode. It happens in the middle of normal use or if the phone is just sitting on the table. Its definitely not a matter of accidentally hitting the volume button or something like that. This is an issue because she is missing all her calls and notifications. The phone is rooted and is running GB 2.3.5 ....Anyone have any idea how to fix this? any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Same here too .. I have tried so many roms to get rid of this problem ,,, but same
I thought I was just crazy! My phone does this all the time. Very annoying.

My phone has been doing that from day 1, I thought it must be somehow a changed setting while in my pocket (it it moving or something)...nice to know that it isn't just my phone
Yea I have no idea what it is ..strange. I don't know if her phone still has the problem. According to her it doesn't happen anymore but then again she has her phone on vibrate 99.9% of the time so I can't really know if it is still changing on its own
it is very annoying...I have missed important phone call because of it. I just did not think it was the phone doing it on its own (strange issue for a phone to have). I don't think I have heard of any other phone doing such a thing.
Did you find any solution to this annoyance? I am facing this for quite sometime and don't have a clue on how to fix this

Not sure if it's the rom or modem as I flashed both at the same time. But I'm running a fresh wipe of cleanrom 1.5 and a radomly I loose service a lot I can look at the phone and it will randomly have no service for ablut. A min and then come back. This never happened before. When I flashed for the first few days I was at my house which I have a microcell and I even exspanced the issue there as well

This is also happening to me. The first few days was fine, but last night my service would just randomly drop off for a min and then come right back. I am running Jelly Beer Rom v3.57.

This is also happening to me. I am not even rooted and never had my note 2 rooted, still completely stock. when i was using my captivate everything was fine, On my note my phone will be sitting next to me and it will show like 3 to 4 bars and someone will try calling me and the phone will not ring. I had my wife call me like 12 times in a row and the phone didn't ring once. On her end it would ring and ring then go to voice mail which is odd because usually when you don't have service it will like ring once and then go to voice mail. I have a lot of people telling me they called me but my phone never rings or shows a missed call when this problem is happening. This happens randomly and i don't know what triggers it. I was about to root few months back and then these issues started popping up so i decided to hold off. Problems like the screen rotation always sticks and i will have to restart the phone every other day just so the apps will rotate properly and other little things that.

Thats something completely different from what im having..
Randomly my notification sound disappear.
No problem with the rest of the phone, if I reboot there's no problems.
I've not found a way to restore sounds except a reboot that is trivial and unacceptable twice a day.
Someone has this problems?
Any idea?
My wife's phone won't ring sometimes. She has to reboot as well.

It's probably a software related problem.
She was using something connected with bluetooth or using spotify?
No Spotify. The last time something was connected via Bluetooth would have been 8 hours prior on her way home from work.
did you guys find out the cause? it happens to my mom as well. seems like an app might be the problem. but I don't know which one.
thanks
No, I can't figure out why. I've tried with n7player and, same problem.
Could be headphones ? I really don't know but, this phone is really disappointing.
Happened again yesterday, using n7 and headphone but, I've done a call using earphones so, could be a earphone issues that not restore correct audio channel after headphone are unplugged?
In this case, is there a way to reset only audio avoiding a full reboot?
anybody figure this out? super annoying lol..
In my case it happens after I disconnect from Bluetooth hands free
Happens to me every day. I thought it was an app but I doubt it now. I have a n5 and n5x set up identical, non rooted, all stock, same apps.
5X looses audio all the time. Twice a day maybe. Annoying is an understatement.
I've got the same issue. Anyone come across a solution yet?

I'll keep you guys posted but for some odd reason, I feel it's candy crush that causes the problem. My mom plays it alot and she told me it wasn't working. I did everything (but reboot of course). Then i noticed the only app open was candy crush so I swiped it to close it. and boom.. it started ringing again. idk if it's coincidence but I'll check again if she tells me its not ringing.

I don't play games. It happens every time I start a call from my wearable. No other problems but, I can't solve avoiding a reboot.
Someone can tell me please a way to report a bugreport to google? Becouse I can reproduce the bug so, probably I could be useful. But I don't know how to sumbit a complete bug report, with all necessary info.
