Random Beeps - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone chimes randomly and I don't know why. I've unchecked all the apps that could notify me but yet it still chimes. Anyone have a similar experience?

Random beeps
I had this problem on OnePlus phone. For me I finally discovered that I had a bank card in the folding cover and every time I bent the cover back and over the camera or scanner it was reading the chip on the card. Moved the card down the case and the problem was solved. Hope this helps

Do elaborate. What's odd? What's the source of the sound? Speaker? Or simply the vibration unit?
A buzzing sound. Coming from the vibrating unit itself.

I find the vibration unit of my gnex rather strong. I use a custom kernel that allows one to turn it down a notch. Could help with your buzzing sound perhaps.
Its quite annoying as I got caught in class with my phone because of it lol first day of senior year too xDxD

You have to get a custom kernel and turn the strength down. I use fancy kernel and trickster mod app

[Q] Screen touch sounds

I've had this phone for about a month and a half, and almost every single day I have to go into the sounds setting to disable the "screen touch sounds". Has anyone ever had that issue before? I have the phone set up the way I like it, and don't change anything in the settings anymore, but somehow I'll be going to do something and I hear that silly noise when I select something. I know it's not a big deal, but it drives me crazy. Any advice?

Same for me. I ended up going in with root explorer and replacing the sound files with silent files to stop the sound from coming back.

i havent had that problem at all, ever since i got the phone and rooted with phantoms blaze rom its been working flawlessly, no issues here.
I've noticed it only happens when you change the camera to video or back to camera. So its the camera modes turning it back on. Try it out for yourself.

I have the same problem with the key sounds as well, and I also have the same problem with the hectic feedback. I have no idea what it is, but it's a small problem...

Screen Goes Dark During Call

Has anyone ran into issue where you make a call screen goes dark like it's supposed to however if you want to end call screen won't come back on until call ends on the other side. So if person doesn't answer I have to wait till voice mail picks up and hangs up on me after it times out.

Is your fone rooted ?

It generally happens when I put it on my ear. Otherwise it is always on.

Phone isn't rooted. I have tried to hit all the buttons including power to turn it back on after it dims out and still nothing. I'm thinking of doing business factory reset but I rather avoid it if I could.

It happens when you place your finger or any part of the body near the sensor.

Got a screen protect covering the proximity sensor? Yours might be too sensitive. I had the same problem with my n4. Solution was no protector or wait till dearth or whatever brand you use to not cover the sensor. That was the first and only phone I ever had that issue though.

Did reset still same issue. I'll try without case, however I have had no issues with case till now.

Also heard of this bug in a German Android forum: there have been some users reporting the same problem without screen protector or case. Still don't know why this happened but You're not the only one with this bug

You can always go into the accessibility settings and set the phone to end a call when you hit the power button

Yesterday I wanted to read a numberplate from a picture to the person I was talking to. Had to text it to him later because the screen wouldn't turn on.

Enter *#0*# in the keypad to open the "test menu".
Press the Sensor tile and test your proximity sensor's function bij moving a finger over it.
If it does not change value from 0 to 1 and make the screen go green, your proximity sensor is likely to be broken.
Replacing the front camera (which houses the proximity senor) will then fix your problem.

I went into store today to speak to a tech that used to work with when I was a sales rep @ sprint. He told he has seen issue a couple of times. He says when that happens its a sensor issue. More common with fones that where 1st shipped out. He could of replaced it if I wanted but he wanted to avoid giving me a refurb. He did a couple of tests and it's been working since. He suggested if it happens again to bring it back again.

Works after a reboot. Seems to be the solution to every problem with that sensor.

I admit this is sometimes frustrating for me too. I'm curious as to a quick fix.

Does motion gestures stop working for anyone else?

I've noticed when I leave my phone idle when going to bed at night and when I wake in the morning that my motion gestures stop working until I unlock the phone a few times with the power button. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this normal or is it a faulty device? I got a screen protector but it's a normal spigen one so I doubt it's that.
Everything work here at least if I don't cover the proximity sensor...
You have to pick the device up. Move it somehow then the motion detectors will work

Oh I see. That's what I do wrong probably. I've always wondered why double tap wasn't working when laying on my desk.
Edit: Well it works but not always. Odd. Thanks though

If it's on your desk naked, rock it gently in either direction, then double tap. It work that way too

I maybe wondered since the phone went into deep sleep maybe it would turn it off to prevent battery usage. I remember picking up device and trying to unlock. I'll try tomorrow again in the morning.

ok waiting for your reply.
That's deep sleep the gestures won't work unless proximity detects movement and if the phone is in deep sleep then sensors are also

[Q] Phone speaker very crackly

Has anyone noticed that when you put the phone up to max volume when on a phone call the speaker vibrates and becomes very unclear. Not sure if this is normal or a problem with my specific phone.
No one else having this issue? Think I may take it back to CPW to get a replacement
