My phone plays notification sounds while I'm in a call. Is that normal and how do I stop it?
Bump. Help me out. it's my wife's phone and she's busting my balls!

What kind of sound?
Same as the alert sound, or different? is it random or timed?
How often, and how loud?
Can the other person hear it?
I'm running M'ICS and I don't have that issue. Maybe check into a different rom or see if there is a mod for your current one.

I'm bumping this thread as I have the same problem! Using stock text messaging app.
On Gingerbread it would only make the notification sound if I was not on a call. Now after ICS update it makes the same sound while on a call or off the phone. Its horribly annoying while on a call because its loud and both parties can hear the notification. Any fix to this?
I don't want to turn notifications off as I like to hear them but not while on the phone.
Here are the stock FF18 Touchwiz Email and MMS apps that I modded to be silent during in call use for the Blazer ICS rom:

Please backup your rom before flashing these, just in case.
tdunham, thanks but your Silence.MMS zip didn't work for me. I'm stock rooted on ICS with AGAT recovery.
It installed fine and I tried messing with both the sms volume right from the app (put it on default, silent, cloud etc) and also messed with system volume the same way. Its either silent all the time or makes a sound all the time (on a call or off the phone).
I guess I'll just need to keep it silent and use the led light to notify me or use Handcent which is fine but I was hoping to avoid having to use a 3rd party app. Oh well, its a minor issue. Thanks anyway.
I'm sorry, I was sure that would work for you. I've had good feedback about it. If it's any consolation, the stock apps aren't the only one's that do it. My 3rd party Navigation app 'Waze' does it also.

Has anyone else running CM9 4.0.3 had this happen? The phone is in silent mode but when you get an incoming call, it rings once before going silent. Also, it is not the normal ringer, but sounds like an old digital type ringer. It rings for about 1/4th of a second before going silent. Ive checked all the settings but cant find anything related to this. Reboot does not help. If anyone else has this problem, or has fixed it please let me know.
Everyone who is running on cm9 has that. It's a bug they even list it it's called the ring of death. To fix it flash a different rom for now

i thought the ring of death was what you heard in the headset during a call, not the ring
The ring of death is several things. It's all the same type of ring during different situations.

The newest update on the issues page seems to have taken care of the issue. Havent had that many incoming phone calls, but on the ones Ive had it didnt ring.
This is ridiculous... I've had this problem for over a year on multiple phones. I'm surprised I'm still using it. I just don't even listen to my vm anymore.
Anyone know what is causing the low volume bug? Any known fixes? I get low volume on both the ear-piece and on speakerphone. I've tried turning up all my volume levels and it is still awful. Any ideas?

Nobody?? Is anyone else having this problem?
Seems to be a Google app issue...I had this same problem on roms and stock for ICS but didn't see it on GB. What are you running on your phone,setup-wise?

Still running an EL29 rom.
Yeah I'm pretty sure its the app, has nothing to do with the phone or setup.

I have the same issue with the Sprint Visual Voicemail app. Most voicemails are recorded so low that you cannot hear them (with the app). I've gotten into the habit of just calling voicemail to listen to the message instead.
This JUST started happening to me as well.
I've been running Gvoice on my androids since my very first HTC G1, and never experienced this issue until this week.
The app was working fine, voicemail playback was loud as the rest of the phone, speaker or headset.
Then later on in the day I play another one back, and it sounds like olden times, when in the silence during a telephone call you could occasionally hear AM Radio being picked up by the phone wires, very faintly.
I de-registered my phone with g-voice, cleared app data and uninstalled gvoice app, rebooted. Re-installed gvoice app, re-registered phone with gvoice, re-forwarded calls, and set the app back up, no luck.
This is horrible. I actually listened to voicemails on my phone before. I don't want to go back to using ATT's crappy default voicemail system.
Any thoughts on how to fix this? If it's an app setting, how did it "all of a sudden" fail?

Try "reducing" the sound below the mid-level
I am on AOKP milestone 6 and noticed the same low volume in Skype, Google Voice (voicemail), and Sprint Voicemail. After some tinkering I noticed that reducing the volume to a little below mid level actually brings back the sound. I am not sure if this is something specific to my phone, but you might want to try the same if you are experiencing this issue.

thanks for this! this worked for me, but I was wondering if anyone else was able to figure out why this was happening. Adjusting volume is easy enough, just a little annoying.
Google just needs to update the app. Happens to me too on aokp and aosp jb.

I always leave my phone on full volume (never on vibrate) when I am anywhere that doesn't demand silence, but I've been noticing sometimes I get a sound for a new SMS, and sometimes my phone will just vibrate.
This happen to anyone else?
I am running stock 4.0.2
Are you using a 3rd party app to select custom notification sound?

Nope, stock "ding" noise
Have you checked the settings in your SMS app?
I think I might have solved why this is happening.
Sometimes I lock my phone with my keyboard still up in a conversation, and I think that's when it doesn't play the sound.
hi. I am having an issue with my stock galaxy s 3 alarm. When I set the alarm to a time and set with vibration and melody and pick any song (sounds or my files) it will only vibrate. I know I haven't blown the speaker because it still plays music from it. Can anyone help me with my problem?

Still stock. No roots or attempts to root
Never mind. I found out what was wrong. Appearently with the new update they moved alarm volume with default volume. Not notifications. So now I have to have my sound on to have an alarm.
Can anyone suggest an app that will mute all other volumes without muting my main sound? And possibly put it back to the way I had it after? And it needs to be free until I can get a credit card or Google accepts visa debit.
Edit: also the app must be able to work on a non rooted phone. Hopefully I'm not asking for a whole lot or posting in the wrong spot.

That's weird. I always keep my phone on vibrate at night too. Try another alarm app. I've found the Samsung default alarms to be unreliable anyways.

They all do. I tried a good portion of ones including DoubleTwist alarm.

My parents have been complaining about call quality. Basically they cannot understand what I'm saying most or the time.
I'm running the jb nightly
Any suggestions to fix it or any or you experiencing the same problem
Sent from my SGH-T989 on Jelly Bean goodness!
I think I might be possibly having the same issue. I get complaints about call quality randomly. It's only some calls some of the time. Usually the person on the other end complains about an echo. if I hang up and call back it usually resolves it.
Is your problem intermittent or all the time?
Edit: Running stock ICS 4.0.3.
I know it. Skype quality is very fine. But the normal calls are a so bad. Open the call window -> go in the option menu and de/activate the (i dont know the word in english) "Noise suppression". Test both. After the change it should working correctly.
You can check your microphone. Do a test call with skype or some other internet call app.

Noise suppression works well on the latest CM 9.1 and AOKP builds and ICS 4.0.4 from my experience. Everything else, I can't really vouch for.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Options:
1. try different modems
2. try different kernels
3. make sure noise suppression is checked off
4. try different phone.apks
Now here is something that some dont realize but next time you are on a call and use call waiting, when you come back to the person on the original call ask if your call quality has changed. It is an issue if you go from one call to another in AOSP based roms it seems to re-create the underwater muffled sound. If you dont have this happen to you then you are lucky but I have tried this on a few of my friends phone with the same result
Edit: OP ya gotta search next time this has to be the number 1 or 2 asked question in here
I was plagued with these problems as well. No matter what rom or setup I had it never got better. Got a warranty replacement and problem solved. Hopefully it's not that but a brand spanking new device is always cool either way.
