Just wondering if this was a common occurance? When my phone is on a lower volume at work, I've noticed when I get messages the notification sound doesn't always play. The phone still vibrates and I've made sure its loud enough to hear, it just doesn't play until I restart the phone.
Anyone else getting this?
Currently everything is stock apart from using Nova launcher. (haven't had it long enough to start playing with ROMs )
ive noticed this sometimes, but i think changing it from the message/emails settings will fix the issue

I'm about to make myself look very stupid with this...
I've been using DeFroST for ages now and just come across a problem that's driving me mad. I've suddenly got a selection of incredibly annoying sounds that I just can't seem to turn off.
When I unlock or drop down the notification drawer there's a shrill 'ding'. Selecting the app drawer or select a check box there's a "thock" noise. (don't laugh at my descriptions!)
I've had the phone on silent yet these noises still occur. Volume doesn't seem to affect it either. I've performed a full wipe and re-installed the ROM yet they're still there. I also can't find any option in the menu to turn to damn things off.
Can anyone let me know if they're also having the same noise, and more importantly, how can I get rid of them, they're driving me mad!!
Should've posted in the ROM thread - would get more replies
I'll be honest, I've done it in both.
This issue started when I first started using gingerbread roms, I'm currently using EF02plus but this started happening with EE03 based roms as well. The googletalk app, and I think the sms app as well, occasionally does not play its notification noise. While trying to pinpoint what exactly causes this to happen it never seemed to be very consistent. What happens is that if the gtalk app is left open with a conversation open the phone will not play the notification sound but only vibrate. Even when the screen is turned off. Meaning that if my phone is off and I never backed out of the conversation, the phone will silently vibrate. It does it the most under these circumstances but it seems to do this other times as well. My sister has an EVO with cyanogen and just to make sure I'm not crazy I tested the same thing on hers. It did indeed make the notification sound when the phone was turned off and every time i messaged her. However mine does not and many gtalk messages go unnoticed on my phone because it never played the notification. At first I thought it was Zedge messing up, so I added custom ringtones to the SD card in the appropriate folder. This issue is driving me nuts that I can't resolve it and will probably end up going to back to a Froyo rom in hopes of fixing it. Any input or idea would be greatly appreciated. This technically isn't really a "question" just hoping someone has the answer to why this is happening.
Most of my friends have android phones and we all use googletalk instead of normal texting, so its kind of a big deal that this app works. Again its not only when the conversation is left open but rather most of the time. It does however vibrate every time, just does not play the sound.
While messing with it I've noticed that when it successfully plays the ringtone it is accompanied by 1 long vibrate. But when it does not play the ringtone, the phone does a very short vibrate, stops, and then vibrates for longer. Its almost as if something interrupts it and stop it from playing the ringtone...
Edit: The interrupt delay between vibrates varies a lot. From a fraction of a second, to sometimes several seconds. And it only does this when it fails to play the ringtone. Otherwise its just one long vibrate.
Hey guys i have this stupid issue with my phone and it only happends on aosp roms but its really hard to explain but i will try my best.
When and only when im intrracting with my phone i would get some type of random sound kinda like a notification sound, but it's not. Sometimes it would just play back to back like 3/4/5 times in a row. Don't matter what I'm doing listening to music playing games texting in a call surfing the web YouTube anything i do it would just randomly do this stupid sound thing. I would even mute the phone completely and still i get the sound. I tried clean flashing 2 different roms and still the same sh!t. has this ever happened to anybody before? And how did you fix it? thanks in advance.
There are accessibility options that say random things like that as you swipe from screen to screen. Settings>>Accessibility
Hi Guys, I have a G3 (D85510L) 4.4.2 unrooted and running Next launcher. The problem I have is when I play music with
the screen off, when I unlock the phone the music STOPS coming out of the speakers or headphones, bluetooth or
wired but the player is still running, so I then have to unlock the screen and then press the volume up or down just
once to get the sound back again if you go into the sound setting on the phone the media bar is at whatever it was at
before I unlocked it. Even if I stop the player and then start it again still NO sound :crying: .
Things I have tried,
Reset the phone 3 times but each time I do it works fine for about 3 days and then
the problem starts again :crying:.
Gone through all my apps but can't see anything that would cause it, apart from Google now and Commandr for Google
now, I have been in the settings and uninstalled them and tried again but just the same.
Also the Voice Mate app I tried the settings (I can't disable it) but again it was no good :crying:.
Tried some audio manager apps, no good :crying:.
I have used the stock player and PowerAmp Player but again no good :crying:.
Changed the lock screen from swipe, Knock, password and pin but still no good, BUT it will work fine if there
is NO lock screen set :crying:.
I have no idea so any help will be very welcomed :fingers-crossed:.

I'm having trouble understanding your problem. Does the music pause when you open your phone or does it just mute? And calm down with the emojis bro lol
Hi many thanks for your reply, well to be honest with you I don't know if its muting as I would not know how to do that. What happens is the music just stops coming out no sound but the player keeps going and even if I stop the player and start it again still no sound and the only way to get the sound back is to press the volume up or down.
But I was going to update this morning as I have found out what the problem is, it my flash light app (tinyflashlight by Nikolay Ananiev) from the play store I have had it for years.
As I said I have only had my G3 for about 4 weeks but this time when I was setting it up I turned on the voice activation on the torch app for the first time, so when I turn on the lock screen and you say "torch" it turns the torch on, and that was what the issue was.
So posted the reply just in case anybody else has the same problem.
ps. sorry about the smilies I was on a downer, but now I'm not life's great

Ye you never want to be the guy who uses too many smilies. It just looks weird after a certain point. And for future reference anything that affects the lock screen will most likely affect your music players performance on the lock screen. So if you run into any more similar problems check if you got any apps that affect the lockscreen recently.
I'm having a weird audio issue where notification sounds get clipped down to a quick blip when/if they play...all other sounds are ok . I've tried disabling ambient mode, pocket mode, etc. Anything that I can think of that may cause something like this. I was previously using stock Boomsound, but it did it then too. I'm using Adrenaline ROM now using HK, and it still does it. I've had this issue with multiple ROMS. Is anyone else having this issue? The only other thing I can think of to try is going back to regular messaging and not use Hangouts for SMS. Maybe that has something to do with it?
Does anyone have any ideas? It's driving me nutz!!!

Just did a bunch of testing.
I made sure that all the notifications were disabled in the stock messaging app. From my wife's phone, I sent myself a bunch of texts through hangouts on HER phone, like she normally would. I got maybe 9 out of 10 notifications just fine, then it would just give the first millisecond of a blip from the notification sound and start flashing the notification LED. That part always worked. Just don't always get the sound.
As a side note.... all of the ROMs I've been running have been Lollipop.
