HELP! Phone plays phantom ringtone but no call! - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys my brand new phone has done this 3 times now. It randomly plays a ringtone that came with the phone but there is no call, the screen stays off when its playing unless i unlock it, the sound doesnt go away, theres nothing in the notifications panel, and the ringtone it's playing is not even the ringtone set on my phone. The only I can get it to stop is by restarting the phone. I really don't want to have to return it and get a new phone and go through setup again. Any advise guys?

found the problem. It was due to GO SMS Pro settings after their recent update. Seems like they broke the app and the way it works with the note 4.

Help: HTC HD Keeps vibrating

Hi All
I also posted this message in the blackstone.
This night my HD started to vibrate at midnight and I cannot stop this. I did first al soft reset, removed the last programs which I had installed yesterday, but this does not solve the problem.
I did then a full reset, but no luck. It still keeps vibrating. When I remove the battery and put it back, does not help. Keeps again vibrating.
Just for the information:
I installed yesterday the Singh's Tings HTC TF3D 15 Tabs EN, ammarTF3D tabs v2 [final] and Diamond Saber Installer and after that the NoTopCurtain.
And so, I do not get it stop vibrating...
Anyone has had the same problem?

Are you saying it vibrates even on Power off ?
All only when power on ?
Try removing all of your PIM data.
What happens if you put it in System and Ringtone Silent mode ?
Yes
Even, when I turn of the device, it keeps vibrating!! When I remove the battery and put it back, It starts again!!
If I put it on silent mode, nothing happens!
I removed the scandisk card, did again hard reset, nothing seems to work!

You say you did a full reset (I guess you meant a Hard Reset), you turned it off, and it doesn't stop. Sounds like a hardware problem to me...
Can't you take it for repair?
It sounds like a loose contact in your HD. If it triggers your device to vibrate then something INSIDE the device (hardware) is broken.
Yes, I had the same problem.
I bought a new HD, it suddenly keeps vibrating just after 5 days.
It's no use to do anything, excpet remove the battery.
Finally, the seller changed a new one to me.
I think it's a hardware problem.
I have my HD set to vibrate as well as make a sound when i receive a new text message. Lately I've noticed that sometimes when i get a message it will vibrate like normal but then continue even after the sound has stopped and keep vibrating. It will stop if i go into the notification settings menu. I don't even change anything and it stops. Weird!!!! Not sure about your situation and cant say that i've experienced that.
Just to inform:
I called the HTC helpdesk and they picked the device up for repair. It can take a few days.

Same here. In the past months, I set my email notification to vibrate. But sometimes when a new message comes, it vibrates forever until I press a button or respond to the notification.

I have the same problem, it´s very annoying when this happens at night.
Sometimes I have another problem with my email notification, my HD mini recieves a new email and it vibrates and plays the ringtone, up until that time everything is ok, but after 1-5 minutes the HD mini vibrates and rings again even I got no new message.
I hope anyone knows how to fix it.

Jelly Bean Messaging Bug?

My Galaxy Nexus finally got the JB update. I love everything about it thus far, except one thing: It seems when I get a text message while in the default application, it'll play my selected ringtone as it would from ICS, but the one key, and very annoying difference is, I cannot stop the tone from playing. I like to set a 30 second or so long tone for my texts, and while I'm using the app as a text comes it, it sounds off, and there's no possible way to stop it without having to silence my phone entirely, and even then, when I put the sound back on before it's done, it's still sounding off. Whereas in ICS, the notification still popped up in the notification bar like previous versions of Android, but not in JB for some reason? Can anybody please help me out here? How can I stop this from occurring without having to silence my phone entirely?
Use a shorter notification sound or vibrate around folks.

[Q] What's up with the 360 not vibrating when the phone is set to vibrate?

I keep my phone on vibrate, and I could've swore when I first setup the 360, everything worked fine. Now it seems I get no watch vibration unless the phone volume is up. I did research on here, and it seems like that is how it is designed to work, but it makes no sense to me. One of the reasons I loved the Gear 2 was that I could have the phone completely silent, yet still get everything on the watch, thus not bothering anyone @ work. I've already paired/unpaired/reset the watch, etc, but no success.
Do I really have to make a silent ringtone to make this work?

What are the chances that you've swiped down on the watch and changed the notifications to mute?
My watch vibrates on notifications, regardless of whether my phone is on silent or not.
I know about swiping down for mute, but that isn't it.
As a test, I sent a text from another phone to mine, with it on vibrate. No notification on the watch. Sent another text with my phone volume up to the first level after vibrate, got it on the watch with no problem. I then sent another text, with my phone on silent, no notification on the watch.
Other forums are reporting this as well, but I have yet to see a solution.
FWIW, my phone is a Sprint LG G3.

Any chance you're using the Google launcher with Google Now always listening on?
Hmmm...I really don't know. I'm using the stock G3 interface on the phone, if that makes any difference.

My Note 10+ notification sound on boot

Every time I turn on and restart my Note 10 + once it's booted or plays my notification sound. How do I stop this? I don't think our ever happened when I bought it a couple weeks ago. I've factory reset and there's been a firmware update too. I think this started after the last update but not sure.
In sounds setting screen it doesn't matter if the sound on unlock is on or off.
Thanks.
Mine only vibrates when turning off/on.
Under system and vibration everything is off except charging sound
I can't change notification sounds. I'll say silent. Go out of the settings screen. Go back in and it's back to the previous notification sound. No matter what I choose.
And on startup a quick on the lock screen notification from system showed that the system was restarted then it disappears immediately.
Yyyeessss!!!!!
You know, this thing had and does make some odd and off the cuff sounds. I'd imagine it's the system sounds(I haven't tried it yet). But I agree, it's completely annoying.. Especially when you set the phone to restart in the middle of the night...
I wish someone could give some input on this.. Great question!

I figured this out.
Go to settings. Notifications. Show system. Find the p looking icon for system ui. You can tap to open these options to mess with. The last option is Phone restarted. Tap it. Go to notification style. I chose silent and minimized. Now no more start up notification sound.

Thanks. I reset my phone many times trying to figure this out. I hate a startup sound.

Is anyone else getting "phantom" vibration?

my T-mobile galaxy s20 just start vibrating randomly without showing any notifications. Vibration pattern is also not normal. I use long continuous buzz for my notifications but whenever "phantom" vibration happens, it vibrates with few short buzz. I Googled it up, and didn't see anything related to galaxy s20. Just installed an app called nice catch from http://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.samsung.android.app.goodcatch
It happened one time after I installed the app. Even that app didn't log the "phantom" vibration.
I am wondering am I the only one having this issue?
I'm not sure this would help, but i haven't experience this yet ... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.globaleffect.notiplus&hl=en_US this is nice to have incase of missing notifications. Sometimes a phatom virbate could be a voicemail or something else.
Hi, I have a little problem
My bottom speaker doesn't work, no vibration and the microphone doesn't work but when I camera video it works ..
The last problem is hard to try, like if it's off, this sign appears when I load it.
