[Q] Startup beeping ? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just after I power on my phone it makes a loud, annoying noise like: "beep-beep beep-beep beep-beep beep-beep"
It started when I set a custom ringtone and notification sound.
The only cause I can think of is that maybe the phone is trying to play my custom sounds files before they have been scanned by the media scanner, which is resulting in a system notification sound being played instead.
Is that likely to be the case?
My custom sounds are stored in: /mnt/sdcard/media/audio/notifications and /mnt/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
Thanks.

Delete or move your custom sounds to test your theory .
No mention of firmware .

Sorry, I was sort of seeing if anyone had a similar problem first. Anyway:
Firmware: 2.2.1
Baseband: I9000XXJPY
Build: FROYO.XXJPY
(Not rooted)
I think I am meant to get Gingerbread any day now, and I plan to root after that - so maybe one of those will fix it.

What I noticed on mine is this only happens when there is a voice mail left when phone was off. I get this annoying, almost non-stop beeping when the phone boots up, and about the only way to stop it is too check notifications asap. I have no tone that sounds like this beeping, and have no clue why it does this on boot. I thought it was stock ROM issues, but I have flashed auxora and trigger 3.2, and get the same annoying beeping. It is only when there is a voice mail in the notifications, when booting up phone.

Thanks jman!
I had the same problem, hours of searching 'android boot alarm' and endless variations on google found nothing on this. I googled 'android beeping at boot', found this thread and you were 100% correct. I cleared my voicemail and no more beeps! Seems like an odd bug, anyone know a way to prevent this from happening any further? I was minutes away from a hard reset before I found your advice. Thanks!

Same here on I9000B Froyo 2.2 JPA
I hate this beep. Its so loud.

Reminder on screen message fault driving me mad

I keep setting reminders to pop up an on screen notification then after a reboot and not every time) it loses the settings and I have to go back into SOUNDS - NOTIFICATIONS and set reminders to have the ON SCREEN MESSAGE again.
Does anyone know how to make the permanent as it is driving me mad.
I too am having this problem - why does it do that????
I think I had this problem before updating to Rom 1.37.707.1 too...so probs not rom related
It is weird. It only resets sometimes as well. I cant work out what causes it.
wonder why not many ppl complaining about this issue? Its good having notification on
yes mine did it last night again but had not done it for a few days.
I wonder if it is to do with certain software configurations i.e. if you have something installed. I have not added that much to the standard build or even if it is noise specific i.e. a certain sound file.

Random vibrate with Cognition?

So I updated to Cognition's 2.2, and all is well except every few seconds it will start vibrating like I have a text or e-mail. I don't have any texts or e-mails and I have service, so I am not sure what the issue is. Anyone having the same sort of thing happening? Thanks in advance.
Also noticed that I can't get to silent mode. It will go to vibrate mode, but I remember in 2.1 there was Vibrate and Silent. Only vibrate in 2.2? Weird.
Edited again: And while in Settings, the back button doesn't work. Awesome. If anyone has a fix for this let me know, or else I'm probably going to master clear, go back to stock and try and start over ;\
Not sure if these are FC's.... anyone?
I can tell you that someone in the DEV thread on the COG 2.2 build did say that was due to FCs. But that was close to the end (as of a few min ago) and there was no resolution that I read.
I had this problem with One Click Lag fix and email FC's that made my phone constantly vibrate. Once I disabled OCLF, the problem went away.

[Q] Interesting problem with Captivate

First time poster, all, so be please be gentle!
I've got a problem that I've not seen anyone else ask about or reference. For some time now, my Captivate has not been ringing when I receive a regular phone call. However, it does: play media files with sounds as normal; play notification sounds; play game sounds; alarm sounds when the alarm goes off. In fact, the only sound-type application it has any problem with is ringing on an incoming call.
I'm not a complete noob, so please assume that I've checked all the usual suspects (silent mode, vibrate mode, using stock ringtone vs. custom, physical volume up/down buttons, rebooting, etc.) However, if you know of a more esoteric setting that could be missed, I'm dying to hear about it.
I'm running Cognition 2.3b1 or 2.3b2 at the moment, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this problem began before upgrading, although I've been using Cognition before the Froyo update; I really don't think it's an issue with Cog, especially as I haven't seen anyone complain of the same symptom.
Is there perhaps some system level directive along the lines of incoming_call_ring=NEVER that I've somehow, someway triggered and just don't know how to undo?
Anyway, thanks in advance for any help! I enjoy these forums and the sense of community, even though I generally just lurk
If it really has been going on since before you flashed I think you know the answer to your question
Sorry to hear that.
Have you tried master clear? If it persists then flash to stock.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I haven't tried master clear yet, good suggestion. By this weekend I should probably be at just the right ratio of desperation vs time to give that a try. I'll post back here after.
Not just me!
It would seem that this is affecting a small number of Captivate owners. The solution was suprisingly simple and effective: push in the 'speaker' with your thumb. Guess the speaker isn't locked in as tightly as it should be, or is prone to short-circuiting. Haven't had any more problems since pushing it in, go figure!
Anyway, see this thread for more details:

[Q] Lock Sounds Distorted - How can you fix?

Howdy
I used to love the lock sounds of WP7 - the little drip is way cool
now though, when I lock my phone it is a robotic noise, I guess somehow the sound file has become corrupted. I havent attempted to faff around with the rom or anything, so who knows how its happened.
Does anyone have any idea how to revert the lock sounds back to what they should be?
Also - I've tried turning it on/off again a few times - no luck
And I'd rather save my text messages etc so I'd rather not flash something, shame it doesnt sync sms to live? (or does it)
Cheers guys
Any ideas at all guys?????
Mine did this, I had to hard reset.
Fantastic :/ do we have a way of backing up our SMS/camera etc yet?
Reset only works for a little bit for me.
Its mostly my incoming mail sounds. Its all distorted like its not using enough CPU to play the MP3

[Q][SOLVED] Ringtone playing after a call ends

Hello XDA Members,
I have an odd issue on my hands.
Description:
I get a call, from either a landline or cellphone, the ringtone plays just fine. After I end the call, the ringtone then plays again on its own. There is no way to silence it or get rid of it. The phone is fully responsive, I can open apps, and use it normally aside from my ringtone playing in the background until it reaches the end of the song.
My question to you guys, has anyone ever experienced this, and if so how did you resolve it?
NOTES:
Running stock AT&T ROM with the latest update and Voodoo lagfix. Never flashed any other ROM's.
My wife is using the impression and sometimes her text message notification does the same thing, plays after reading text restart fixes for a while but it always comes back, I havent seen this on my captivate or read of it happening to any others. maybe a master clear?
I too have had it happen with text message notifications, I am using Handcent.
I'm thinking a master clear may resolve the issue because it seems software related, but I was hoping to do it without clearing things out. I was thinking some app, out of the hundred or so installed may have something to do with it.
If doing a master clear is the only resolution, I might as well just flash a new ROM, I already have everything I possibly could back up all backed up.
I have resolved this issue without a factory reset or flashing another ROM.
I was playing around with where the ringtone MP3 file was located and I had moved it into the phones internal storage. I moved it back out onto the root of the SD card and all seems to be ok. I cannot believe I didn't think to remove or move the file that was getting played after a call.
