Repeated Double beeps during calls? - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

When making calls with this phone I get a quick double beep during any phone call I make - I thought it was a minute minder type of thing but it's not occuring at the minute mark, though at apparently regular intervals. Anyone else have this? It's driving me nuts!

I've noticed this as well, also while streaming music...I think it's when the phone bounces between LTE and Hspa?

It's a text notification. I had the same problem, took me a while to realize what it was.

I have same problem with beep but no any text notification pops up.

It is all notifications. FB, text, whatsapp, all of them.

What do you mean?

I noticed this to but on my LG watch sport. I thought it might be because of me running the beta. Normally it means I'm getting a notification but I'm not getting anything. Weird!

Every time your phone gets a notification while you are on a call you will get the 2 beeps. Hopefully they give us the option to turn this off soon.

Oh snap! That's what this is?! What an idiotic "feature". Thank you for sharing this discovery - I was worried that I was missing a minute minder setting somewhere or my calls were being recorded or something, though unlikely.

[Q] Nonsense Notification

I've only noticed this when my phone is plugged in: About every 20 minutes, it will make a notification sound comprised of 5 quick melodic notes. I look at the phone, and there are no new messages, no apparent syncing going on... I can't figure out what is triggering this notification. Nothing in the status bar either... Weird
Hmm, that's weird. Are you using the phone usually when this happens? Or is it when its idle?

It might be the weird sound that happens when you lose signal, do you have weak signal at home?

It's idle. Nothing going on at all.

[Q] anyone having problems during calls like i am?

so pretty much im laying down talking on the phone and during the call all of a sudden the other person cant hear me, i can hear them but they cant hear me. so at first i thought its the signal, but i have full bars. then i turned off the option where if you place your phone facing down that itll mute, but the problem continues. so today i noticed that when that happens, i leave the phone where it is, press the speaker option and it works! so it isnt the signal! can any body tell me if its a setting im missing or is it something i should take it back to the att store?
are you sure the screen is shutting off? perhaps your cheek is hitting the mute/unmute icon (speaker icon)?
Ive had this exact problem for the last year with my s4. Always assumed it was something with the gyro inside. Its really annoying

I faced the same problem once, last week. But I just ignored it, imagining it would be something to do with bad network. I should try to simulate the issue again and see if it's persistent..
Maybe try turning off the motion options in the settings? I turned those off right when I got the phone and I haven't had this issue.

To be honest ive wondered that myself, but even tho i havent checked, last night when it occurredto me to try and press the speaker button to see if it will work (which it did) it did not have the mute button pressed... so because of last night, id have to go with no, it isnt pressed and the screen is black

No, loke i said... that feature was turned on then i turned it off having the same effect
So anyone know a fix or know if i should take it to att for a replacement ?
issue I'm having is odd...I think it correlates to Bluetooth, but still working with advanced tech support. when I change towers, whether I receive or make a call, the phone drops all connection and says "out of service area". then comes right back. seems better without Bluetooth, but still happens. tech has no answers yet. already replaced sim twice and registered phone several times.
EDIT: I turned on the UTMS HD Voice using the hidden diagnostic menu and after 5 test calls today, no drops. Not sure if it is coincidence or something else...
Experiencing call issues too

I've also been experiencing similar issues, 2 issues in particular
1. During a call, I suddenly can't hear the other person or they suddenly can't hear me and I have to end the call and call back
2. I attempt to place a call, it rings and then when the other party picks up I hear nothing, they hear nothing. I sometimes have to call twice or three times before there's a successful call and I hear them and them hear me.
These issues occur randomly, with and without bluetooth. I've tried factory resetting the phone but the problem has continued.
I purchased my phone from Amazon.

I didn't notice any sound difference when setting the UTMS HD Voice to "enabled". Did you see the two options for "enable/disable"?

Yea I found them last night, I'd missed them somehow before. I have it enabled but haven't noticed anything as far as being more clear or a specific icon on the screen. I remember having seen another thread on this, maybe it was in the Verizon forum, that stated the UTMS was not even the right network option to enable the HD though? Does anybody know for sure?

No clue. I don't see why the change was mandatory. I only know of this due to Android Police writing this up earlier today:

It's not a problem if it's an intended feature. The idea is that you don't have alerts, notifications, etc. going off in your ear, speakerphone, car stereo while on a phone call.

Aaaa ok.
clever google
When I initially experienced this feature I thought it was a neat idea. Then it started having problems turning off automatically. Now I find that 25% of the time it just doesn't turn off automatically and I miss notifications as a result. This issue persists though restarts, resets, and two devices so far. Using the 128gb Pixel. I have tried to adjust the DND rules so that I don't miss them. As a result of those changes I made, I can get phone calls but at least Google Voice messages through Hangouts still don't work until I manually turn it off. I don't remember the phone buzzing in my ear on any of the recent phones I have owned.... Even if this was an intended feature, the fact it can't be turned off is causing me to have pay an unusual amount of attention to my phone coming in and out of calls to make sure I'll continue to be reachable.

Unlocked HTC 10 on T-Mobile - Weird "Bleep" Sound When Taking Calls

I just got my unlocked HTC 10 a couple weeks ago and it works great! I use it on the T-Mobile network. I notice that during like 60-70% of my received calls, when I first take the call, I hear a weird robotic-like "BLEEP" sound right at the beginning which lasts about a second or so then vanishes.
ANY idea what this is? It's not a big deal really, but if there's a way to resolve it, I'd like to know how.
Thanks!!

I'm with T-Mobile on US unlocked as well. But I've never noticed this issue. Nor do I hear anybody mentioned before. For every call? Or you were recording the call?

No it doesn't happen EVERY time, but like maybe 60-70% of the time, and only really briefly right after I take the call, then it vanishes.

I too have an unlocked US HTC 10 and haven't heard any beep sounds, but I would suggest you to disable VoLTE setting and try to answer the call again and see.
If you don't know where it is, then go to settings>calls, then scroll to the bottom and then turn on/off Voice over LTE setting.

Ok I'll try it...................but I like VoLTE, so even if it turns out to be the cause of this issue, I'll still eventually just leave it on. lol
It appears the issue is resolved now. I turned off VoLTE for a few days and took some calls........no bleeps. But then I re-enabled it about 4 days ago, and since then the bleeps have continued to not occur (knock on wood). Perhaps it just needed to be toggled with to "set it into place"? Anyway, if it happens again I'll post here, but for now I say case closed!
Thanks again to all who contributed! Glad the issue is gone though. lol

Screen won't turn on for incoming calls

Hi. I bought the Note 8 (Verizon) last week, and everything seemed fine, but then 2 days ago the screen simply won't turn on when I have an incoming call. The phone rings, but the screen won't come on. I have to unlock the phone, and swipe down the notification bar just to answer the call. I've googled around but can't find an answer to this issue for this particular phone. Any suggestions/ideas?
Maybe give a factory reset a go.

I was actually forced to do a hard reset this morning. The phone would NOT come on, no matter what I tried, couldn't even go into Safe Mode. Problem still persists. I'm actually thinking of exchanging it since I'm within the 14 day period.

Hard reset....As in power off and on right? Try booting into recovery mode and deleting cache and data.

I've now performed 2 factory resets, disabled AOD (for testing) and kept it on for other tests...same outcome. The screen will not come on when I have an Incoming call.

I've tossed the screen protector after 1 day because it kept making a clicking sound on the top corner. No case on it.

Tried that-no change. It's hard to believe that this phone has pretty much everything going for it...except turning on the screen for an incoming call.

3 Factory Resets later, booting into Safe Mode, not downloading ANYTHING else, same scenario. Verizon is shipping a replacement to my house, I should have it by Tuesday. The Tech at the Verizon Store actually called my phone so I could show him the lack of screen activation. He said he's never seen this before either.
FIGURED IT OUT! Settings--Display&Lights--Turn off double tap to wake-up to solve issue! ...
This was set somehow, I disabled that and now my phone properly lights up for calls and I can actually answer them.

they know absolutely **** about anything
I never use retail store
Another way to fix this is to call yourself on another phone while your Note 8 screen is on. When the call comes in, don't answer but slide down the notification bar and you will see your call. Adjust notifications to not block/be silent.

I went into Settings, Display, but nothing about double tap to wake-up. Samsung runs on AMOLED and that function is on other screens like Sony Xperias.
I do notice another thing going into Notifications settings and I see that the Phone app is Muted. I don't know how to get out of it.
The solution is the person who posted above. You call yourself, and swipe to unblock Silence notifications for your phone app. It's weird how it was set that way, but that's the best solution!
How do I unmute phone call notifications?
Thanks! My incomimg calls now appear on my screen!
I tired the unblock silence notifications and that still has not fixed it as well as a hard reset. Anyone else got any suggestions?
Thanks
Ian
Fix to dark screen on incoming call
Step 1: call youself
Step 2: swipe down on notification bar to view the call(usually how you would answer while dealing with this issue)
Step 3: swipe the call to the right and click the setting wheel.
Step 4: select "do not hide notifications"
Step 5: test call after doing this with the screen off, its should work.

That worked for me!
