Ringtone Starts Playing Randomly - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

So I did some searching on here and the Google, maybe I'm missing the terminology so feel free to do whatever, however, is anyone's phone randomly playing a ringtone when it feels like it? Although soothing, it is annoying. This is the rooted stock JB. I noticed it once while in the vehicle driving, Bluetooth connected, so I figured it was something to do with the connection, and the ringtone was correct, and it might have been a call, however I didn't have any missed calls. I changed the stock ringtone, and the same situation happened to me this morning at my desk. The difference is Bluetooth was off and my phone had just been sitting there, nothing going on....
strange?

my ringtone just started playing, once it finished it stopped and all, then i locked unlocked and the default one started playing. I'm on a droid 3 though, running a stock-based rom. Lol this is wierddd.

Horrible beeping during phonecall?!?!?

Put WM6 on not too long ago, and its been fine. Anyhow just like 2 weeks ago it sometimes makes this super annoying beeping sound. And its not a beep for a txt msg (which I would also LOVE to remove the 3 beep crap, maybe make it just one beep, if anyone knows how) but more importantly this new random beeping is driving me nuts. It seems to happen more when Im on longer calls but I may not be 100% on that.
Anyone else ever experience? Ive restarting my phone a few times hoping it would solve it but no go. I could do hard reset maybe? Would rather not but..
Oh and to note versions
ROM 3.57.502.1
ROM date 7/10/07
Radio 1.48
Protocol 32.81.7020.20H
Thanks
Any beep I have during a phone call is because another call is coming in at the same time. This sounds like what's happening to you... "call waiting"

Sounds like a notification "beep during a phone call every 1 minute".
its def not call waiting or battery dying or txt msg or email or anything similar. Ill check the 1min beep but I dont think it happens every minute not to mention that was never turned on. Hell I dont even remember where to turn it on but ill look thru the settings.
Any other ideas? I really dont believe its either of those =(
Hello,
The only times I've heard such loud beeping is when I'm calling (or being called by) a friend who is on the Sprint network.
Every now and then this loud beep comes up... Very loud, unlike any beep/bong/screech the phone produces... The funny thing is that he doesn't hear it... :/
I assume is some kind of cell signaling that is not being filtered by Sprint...
Maybe it's a roaming alert or something like that.
As far as changing your alert for messages/voice mails, you can do that through the "sounds and notifications" icon under settings.
I sometimes get a beep to remind me that I have a message that I haven't yet opened. At least that's what I think it is.

This is what's been happening to my wife. Everybody that talks with her on the phone, will hear this loud beep. And it's really loud. If you had your stereo headset that came with the 8525 it almost hurts. She doesn't hear anything. At first I thought it was my WM6 ROM or something but it happened to my mother-in-law while on the phone with my wife, and it's happened to me when I call my wife from the company line.
She and I are both on AT&T. Now that I see this thread, I might give AT&T a call.
Yes so heres what ive concluded. I was on a 30min phone call with the woman and at approx 3minutes it made the beep. Not once again after. When I was odne with the call, no notifications (no txt, no email, no missed call, no low battery).
I will note, though, when I got an incoming call while on the phone before I thought the sound was different (may be wrong) but recently I received one while on the other line and the sound it made is the same as the one im hearing, however when i hear it, there are no calls coming in. My phone is stupid maybe and thinks someone is calling =(
May have to hard reset and hard that fixes but dont want to go that route just yet.
You sure you aren't moving the scrollwheel? I a lefthanded person sometimes find myself moving the scrollwheel during a phonecall, this also gives a beep.
def not moving it. In fact, I have also disabled those sounds from scrolling in the registry some time ago
I am not hearing a beep on mine but people that I am talking to say they hear a loud beep sometimes only once or twice during a 30 minute call. We are both on AT&T however. They also say they only hear this beep while talking to me. I've changed roms and the beep still occurs I am told.
Did you ever find any answers?
Its the spooks monitoring your calls, come on own up, what you done??
I've had a couple of odd beeps on calls too. AT&T as well. Running Schaps 4.2.

[q] weird ringtone problem reset issue

today i was working on my car and my evo was ringing my hands were full so i didnt answer. i watched as the phone ring in the seat beside me and all of a sudden after the person hung up the phone begins like a frozen constant ring then resets its self. it was like in the movies when the person dies in the hospital and the life monitor makes the long noise. i have stock 2.2 rom using the stock ringtone "old phone"
has this happened to anyone else

[Q] vzw gnex - crackle and popping sound during incoming call.

First off, forgive me if this was already answered, I tried searching for about 15 minutes before I decided to post this.
As the title states, I'm having an issue with my gnex where I get this high pitched and crackling sound when receiving SOME incoming calls. I can't hear the person, and whenever they speak, the noises get louder so I can't hear them at all.
I think it's software, rather than hardware, since it doesn't happen on every single incoming call. From what I can tell, actually, it's totally random. But if I call the person back it is fine. They could even call me right back and it's fine.
My friend who also got a gnex from a different vzw store has the same issue. His also appears to be random.
Do you guys think it's just network, random phone problems, software issues, or all three?
Info: Verizon Wireless CDMA Galaxy Nexus running fully stock 4.0.2
For the record, I too am experiencing this issue. I also have the issue via 3.5mm jack and during other audio playback. At first I thought it was just my low-quality aux cable I was using in my car, but then I experienced it on a normal call. I was thinking software for this reason too as it happens via the jack as well as speaker... (Also happened watching Netflix, so that covers all audio output but bluetooth.)
Are people on custom roms experiencing this? I wasn't going to root this phone as I didn't see too much of a need, but I will if it will get rid of this issue.

if by crackling you mean it almost sounds like a fax sound, squealing, similar to this description, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453769 , then yes I had this when I ran stock but now that im running francos, AOKP, and the 4.0.3 radios(which arent included in most 4.0.3 roms), i have not had the problem.
My GF had a problem where her mic was bad, about 50% of the time i got a call from her she would sound muffled, almost as if underewater. She exchanged it at VZW and haven't had any problems since.

[Q] Earspeaker broken by sweat?

Today, I did my cardio but had to take a call. During the conversation, however, the earspeaker started to pop a few times and then I did not hear anything anymore. I must say that I was sweating heavily and the call lasted about 20 min.
The phone works as usual except I do not have any sound when playing media (mp3, youtube). Ringtone for calls, ringtone selection and sms work (ring), whattsapp doesn't. Re-installing whattsapp and flashing the new aosp build did not help here.
Should a new earspeaker do the trick or is there more possibly broken hardware?
I was talking about the built-in speaker, not about some headphones.

Try taking the battery out and sticking it in rice. It probably won't help, but at this point it might be worth a try.
I think you have the exactly same issue as mine =[

I know this is an old thread, but I had the exact same thing happen to me today. I was working outside, and was sweating while I was talking on the phone. All of the sudden, I heard a slight pop, then nothing. My earpiece will not play any sound at all. I have to use speakerphone when I am talking on the phone.
Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm thinking that I might need to replace the speaker.
Thanks

Sometimes won't ring on incoming calls, just vibrate

Sometimes when receive incoming call, phone won't ring, just vibrate. That's happening randomly, sometimes it's ok for 2 days and then start, sometimes on every couple of calls, for 2-3 calls it's not ringing and then start to ring normally again... Of course, I'm not in silent mode, volume is set to max, when enter settings and select ringtone, it plays fine...
This start when I upgrade to Lollipop, on stock rom and custom roms, tried 4-5 roms, all Sense. I run RUU for couple of times, for clean start of new rom, my firmware is up to date, but it happens every time, so I think it is Lollipop problem, not rom.
Is anyone experienced this problem too, or know some solution?
Thanks.
So no one have this problem? For everyone phone rings fine every time?
Try to restart the phone. It will solve the problem for you. My wife's phone had same problem and that's what I did.
Yes, I restart the phone and the problem re-apear shortly, so that is not the solution.
m8 problem
I have the same fcking problem for over 2-3 months now and I think it's lollipop problem, it's very annoying every day I got dozens of missed calls ...i don't know what to do, did you find anything ?? Thanks
Did you set some ringtone which came with Lollipop, or some of yours personal ringtones?
I always use my ringtone, simple mp3 file, but I select one of pre-installed ringtone about 3 weeks ago and have no problem since. Don't know why, but it seems that Lollipop have some problems with some mp3 files. Those files plays perfectly well in any music app on phone, but if you set it like ringtone, sometimes ringing and sometimes not.
I found some program that helps to "convert files to Android-playable" so I convert my mp3 ringtone with that program (still mp3, but larger size) and will see if that helps.
I have done it today so must pass week or two to be sure if it helps or not, will post here.
So, my converted ringtone didn't work. Then I tried to put the mp3 file in to /system/media/audio/ringtones where the other ringtones are, but that didn't work either. I noticed that most of stock ringtones are in .flac format, so I converted my ringtone to .flac and it worked! My phone rings normally for 2 weeks now.
So, if anyone have problem with their custom ringtones, just convert them to .flac format with any sound converter on PC and that will be fine.
Ok I will do it your way, just to inform you, I did a factory reset for nothing same as before everything is working like, notification sound, message sound, music player but still no incoming sound, this is a really fcked up thing, it's nothing to repair the software is fcked up I guess,I am so dissapointed
Just convert your ringtone to .flac format with any free converter (ask Google), and it will be fine. For me, it's working over the month now.
The ringtone sound is fine now(tried it your way), but now I have another problem with mic, when someone tries to call me they can't hear me only on speaker mode, really mad now X(.
It might look silly, but try to make G calibration (Settings>Display & gestures>G-sensor calibration)
