I'm noticing an issue when I send text messages using the default app. Pixel 2 XL, 8.0.0, factory reset a couple times did not fix this issue.
It's the only "sound" issue I'm noticing and the only place I notice it is in the messaging app, the "Outgoing message sound" that bings when you click send on a message. It's a simple tone, and I hear the tone however the first millisecond or two of the sound is garbled/distorted enough to notice. If I send text messages in rapid succession to test the sound, it seems to get a little better, however when no message is sent for a second, then you click send there is a distinct distortion sound at the very beginning of the tone. I'm wondering if it's a speaker/hardware issue and solely my own? Could this be a software issue? Or if anyone else has encountered this? I could fix this by simply deactivating the tone in the "app settings", "Additional settings in the app", and uncheck the "hear outgoing message sounds", but if it's a hardware issue I want to RMA this thing.
Reset the phone twice, (just an aside the first reset the sim free setup failed for some reason, so I reset it again and it worked fine)... but the sound issue/distortion remains on the send message tone.
Aside from that I'm having no screen issues or any other issues really- phones been superb which is why the tone distortion is so frustrating, given I text message excessively.
Thanks for any reply

So I am using Kavanas 6.1 ROM and have been for a few months with no problem.
I have been noticing that I am getting the "unread message alert" (kavana rom feature) 15 minutes after receiving my e-mail with out hearing my normal e-mail sound going off the moment I get it. This just started happening for no apparent reason. I havent installed any new apps or anything.
My MMS and SMS sounds are fine and they go off as normal. In "Settings" the e-mail alert sound is there and can be played. I shut my phone down and removed the battery for a few mins and retested it, still no alert sound when I receive my email. I then changed the e-mail alert sound to the same sound that I use for my SMS, retested, still no sound. Soft reset, still no sound. Shut down and removed battery for a few minutes, retested, still no sound.
I am stumped. I checked all my Settings for sounds and my profile and everything is normal. I even checked e-mail settings for some type of sounds options, even tho I was pretty sure there was none, and I was right, there is none.
I just dont get it... This ever happen to anyone else?
I've been doing come searching, but can't seem to find any thread about the same problem for a HTC Desire.
I've had it for about two weeks now, but this weekend, it just stopped making sounds when i recieve text messages. i've tried installing the Audio Manager app from market, but it didn't help.
Solutions??
just noticed mine started doing this today, after i changed hte notifications to my own ringtone.
doh mine was easily fixed. Make sure your notification volume is up, its different from your ringtone volume.
messaging app, menu, notifications >> on
Hi all, I have an interesting problem...when my phone gets a text message, i hear the notification, but I also get the ringtone right after that....not sure why...its probably some setting somewhere, but no clue..ive looked and cant find anything...any ideas?....kind of annoying to get a short beep from a text message followed by a loud and long ringtone throughout the day...lol.....
Disable all notifications in the stock sms app.
I'm guessing you have more than one sms app.
Is anyone else seeing this.
I have a custom notification i use. When i got a voice mail i would get it twice one from the phone seeing the voice mail and another from Visual voice mail app 3-10 sec later. This was getting irritating as far as i can tell there no way to mute the app and when i set the phones notification in call to silent i was still getting my default twice. now if i changed it to a different tone i would just get the new tone this my default from app. I ended up getting an MP3 of 2 sec of dead air and setting that to my voice mail tone. Has anyone else had this issue?
I posted this question on a CM 11 Nightly forum with little success and was hoping to find a solution in this general forum. I am on CM 11 d2lte and have sound issues with my speaker when running my voice-mail. I historically would long press #1 on my dialer and access my messages that way, but no when I do that I get the "no messages" voice. I have left myself messages as a test to see if it works and it doesn't.
Here's what happens:
Get a message, go to v-mail app, press play, message starts out fine, but at the end of the message, then sounds turns into a very loud, scratchy, distorted static sound that cannot be turned off or turned down. When the sound stops on it own after about 7-10 seconds, i am not able to access the next message, cannot replay the same message, cannot do anything with the app. I am forced to reboot my system in order to get the next message and then I have to reboot after listening to the same garble...message after message.
1. I see others have had this issue
2. I have seen whacky solutions to this like disabling sms features
3. Does anyone have a real solution to this?
I have tried other Vmail apps and they all create the same sound in the speaker when checking v-mails, which tells me it is a communications issue with the vmail app and the speaker. Thoughts?
I don't necessarily care for a v-mail app...I'd like to be able to get my messages by long pressing #1...anyone?
Solved

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I had handcent and got rid of it and now using stock CM sms. No more bad speaker sounds.
