Boomsound notification randomly coming up for a few seconds - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

At times when I am using my phone I notice that the boomsound notification comes in the status bar for a few seconds and then disappears. No sound is produced st the time of the notification. Does anyone know why this would happen? Thanks.

This usually happens for me when browsing certain sites. My guess is that something on that page is detected as media with audio and triggers the boomsound notification

Ah okay. Thanks for answering. I usually am not browsing the web when that happens. Happens in the launcher too. Is the browser still responsible?

I wouldn't think so. Are you going something specific when it happens?

I might be. But I haven't really linked it to any specific behavior yet.

You could also block that notification from popping up (when it's there, from the pulldown notification panel long-press the boomsound notification). But that only gave me partial success, since it still pops up once in a while.

Haha that'll block all system notifications AFAIK. The notification does not bother me actually. It'd just that I wanted to know if anyone knew why it would pop up randomly. Felt strange.

Are you on nougat? I am and I think I was able to block that notification specifically without blocking all other system ones.

Nah. Still on marshmallow. HTC decided not to grant us WWE plebs with nougat till the end of this year (at least I hope it's only till the end of this year). That's good to know though!

Playing a random sound file

Hi, this is hard to describe with out the sound file, but basically my phone when turning on plays a sound at random, it lasts for about 1sec and has 4 syllables if you get my meaning a bit like 1 ...2-3-4 or Do De-dah-Do (this isn't a silly post I promise XD)
At first I thought it was a few programs I installed, someone told me it could the the THD pinball game, un-installed that but it is still there.
Has anyone else encountered a "similar" issue? It interrupts some programs or games and is very annoying and its beinging to drive me insane; at one point I thought it was malware or a virus so I McAfee scanned it in case (maybe there are other better alts but please suggest).
Oh, I will also add when this happens when looking at desktop the top menu bar sometimes goes green.
Any ideas? Please save my sanity.
kind regards

Hello, don't know if it will help but green flashing bar looks like a phone call notification ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674783
I remembered to hear some strange sound and i recognized your Do De-dah-Do
but can't remember how i solved the problem ... or even if it solved itself ... sorry.
Instead of "random" you wanted to say "sporadic". Sound is still the same "tone" ?

Hi, yes I would probably say more sporadic than anything else and yes this sound is always the same, I never notice this in call though so I have no idea which app is trying to notify me; its notifying me to uninstall it when I find out what it is!

By turning on, do you mean unlock the device or turn it on after being turned fully off?

When I unlock the device, so its already on and then the sound at "some" point will start maybe 2-3 times then stop. Its so random I cant even pin point it. When in opera, desktop and other apps this sound will appear and cause mayhem.

Yep, had a look, cant really see anything. The randomness is the problem here; hence why its hard to isolate it...

Yeah, it's strange. I know it'll take awhile but it might be a good idea to look at any/all recently installed Apps and look at their Permissions. See if any of them say anything about making alerts, then force close them if they do and see if the issue persists.

Does it by any chance happen when your phone is sitting over your wallet?
I was getting the same sound randomly and drove me nuts. Then realized that it's the NFC kicking in when the phone is near my "blink" chipped credit card.
i'm sure i read a post exactly like this and it turned out it was nfc, make sure it's turned off and see if it continues.
Nfc or perhaps the roaming sound is on?

Sorry for late reply and thank you so much for your input.
Yes people, it is the NFC! The phone resides in a wallet and my works id card on the other side. When I read the phone I fold the cover over and hence this sound. Do I feel stupid? Yes 100% I only hope that maybe some people can learn from my inherent stupidity and thus the madness that was slowly but surely setting in.

[Q] Status Bar

At first I thought I was the only one suffering from this annoyance, but then I saw this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgvTFu6UKJI
See, the problem is that whenever I send or receive a message, this icon pops up. At first I thought I was delusional, but then it repeatedly became clear that this was truly a bug. I managed to get a screenshot of it (which was really difficult considering that it only pops up for about half a second). I want to know if I anyone else has had this issue, and whether or not someone found a workaround from it popping up. Anyone at all?
Are you using Hangouts?
Nope! Stock everything, and unrooted. Using the HTC messaging app

Probably Carrier IQ for some reason tracking your location. My LG G2 does the same thing.

This bothered me as well, but I have since gotten rid of it. Granted that you're rooted, you can download an Xposed module called NotifyClean. It listens for "notifications" in the status bar, and you have the option to disable them. Download/install/activate the module, turn on the listening feature, and send a message. When you go back into NotifyClean, you'll see "Data Usage". Select that, then select "Data usage is running". It should highlight the selection in red, and ultimately get rid of the little annoying icon that shows up for a split second.
It seems that I'm not the only one having an issue. Well hopefully there's a better work around for this because I don't plan rooting my phone for a long time! Flashing roms and tweaks could be addicting haha! Hopefully someone finds a better fix to hide this annoying notification!

Yeah, take it from someone that flashed a ROM today and every mod/tweak I could find... it gets addicting. I spent 8 hours at my computer today going over various mods and personalizing my phone. Unfortunately, I can't think of anything to help with your issue that doesn't involve root. If you know what is causing the notification then you may be able to go into settings>apps>all and disable the offender?

I managed to get a screenshot, and I checked what app was causing it but it was a system app called "Data Usage". Anyone know how to turn off data usage notifications? Turning off data usage alert doesn't help
This is normal behavior. While it shouldn't be popping up, its normal as in that it is what is done when a SMS/MMS is sent while on WiFi.
You can locate the app through Application Manager and tap it to Disable Notifications. This doesnt require root or anything.
Taking shots in the dark here, but there is a data usage section under wireless & networks in settings. In that menu there is a toggle for 'alert me about data usage'. You can then drag a slider up and down to set the cap for when your phone warns you about data usage. Maybe yours is dragged to the very bottom so it alerts you about any data usage?
Unlikely because it would show up during everything, but worth asking. Maybe just disabling the notification toggle would work. Also, does your carrier ship with specific software to monitor data usage? If so then check all of those apps settings to see if anything has any effect.
It doesn't matter whether or not the wifi is on, it still annoyingly pops up. I meant that you really can't disable notifications as it is a system app

I read its some type of traffic usage. Someone here posted a picture of it here. Also I have an option on the ROM I'm running to hide that notification. O don't think its carrier IQ but then again.

[Q] which app does the pop up in notification page when headphones are plugged in?

Recently rooted my tab and while following a list of bloatware to freeze, I have frozen this app that I'm unsure of the name that I actually make use of this feature.
It's the one when headphones are plugged in, the apps that associated with headphones will be shown in the notification page.
Anyone know which is it?

Vibration after 5.0.1 update

Has anyone noticed that they lessened the effect of the vibration? I wish there was a setting for that
I haven't noticed something like that for my watch.

did you change your watch band? i've noticed the position of the watch impacts the "quality" of the vibration. short of that, the vibration is just as strong as it was before. seems like an odd thing to change without change-logging it.
Im not getting any vibration at all from anything after the update, not when I power on the watch or from opening wwrae mini launcher
for gmail, i get an extra vibration after i swipe right and click delete...minor annoyance
The vibration is definitely lighter after the 5.0.1 update. I surmise that it's part of their effort to extend battery life. I, too, wish there was a control for that like ambient.

I'm not getting ANY vibration for notifications after the update, really hoping they fix this soon as it's the whole point of a smart watch. Have tried restarting and resetting to no avail.
i don't see how people are getting zero vibration. i'd send the watch back. i don't think there's a way to turn it off without also turning off the notifications.

Question Constant notifications going through bluetooth

Probably 5-10 times a day when wearing my bluetooth headset I get the notification sound that goes off.
I've gone through about every setting that I can.
The sound is the notification I have chosen in settings. I changed it and when I did the sound changed to the new one. I can't figure out any way to tell what this is or turn it off.
I've had similar issues in the past, I used this app to find the culprit https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ikvaesolutions.notificationhistorylog

So do you wait to hear the noise and check what the latest app was? And then what do you do? Thanks.

Pretty much it, then you can identify the culprit app and deal with it accordingly. Whether that's uninstall or turn off the notifications of that app.
Its a strange deal never seen this before. I got two recent notification sounds a little bit ago through the bluetooth and went to look at the logs on the app and nothing was active in the last 10 minutes. So, I really don't know how to identify the app or what the constant notification is from.
I show no notifications in the top area of the phone and the app says nothing was happening right when the sounds happened.
Nothing has stopped this. About once an hour I get my chosen notification sound that goes off in my bluetooth headset and as far as I can tell there is no notification associated with it. Just a random sound.
I have searched around and stumbled on a page where they were talking about com.qualcomm.qtil.aptxui
Is that something that can give me random notifications?
