Annoying After-text noise

I'm having a problem with my XDA Stellar. O2 always displays your credit on screen after and call/text in the form of a network message. The thing is i can't find out if you can turn off the sound for these alerts. I've tried changing everything under "sounds and notifications" but it doesn't seem to be in there. The only way i can stop it making noise is to turn the sound off on the phone completely which means i then have to turn it back on before using something like tomtom.
So my question is, can this sound be turned off and if not can the alert be turned off altogether?
Thanks

Perhaps kaiser tweak will help.

No, unfortunately as good as KaiserTweak is, it has nothing to help me.

Bump. Does anyone have any idea on what to do about this as it's becoming a serious problem

when the message comes in, which sound does it make?
What im trying to get at is maybe the phone is seeing it as a system even/warning which you can't change through the drop down list but you can disable. Try going to sounds and notifications and on the first page there untick "Events (warnings, system events)" and see if that stops them from making a sound

My wife had this with her 6230i - the solution was to phone O2 and ask them to turn off the notification at their end.

Yeah, thats what I did to disable text message sounds. It works. Settings>Sounds&Notifications>Notifications Tab.....and im sure you'll figure out the rest.

How is this a serious problem? Someone that has cancer has a serious problem.. Anyways, turning off the sent notification in the KaiserTweak didn't work for you? Maybe one of the registry gurus can figure it out.

It plays the "notify" sound. I can turn off literally everything in sounds and notifications including events and programs and it still makes a noise. the only way to stop it is to turn all sound off.

Yeah i think this is what its going to come down to. I thought it was worth asking first incase someone knew how to turn just the sound off.

The reason its becoming a problem is mainly down to TomTom. I havent yet bought an in-car holder as i'm waiting for one with a stereo audio jack, so when i use tomtom i rely on the sound as i cant actually see the screen. Yesterday (and many times before) i needed to use tomtom but i forgot the sound was off. So whilst driving i suddenly realised i didnt know where i was going and i wasnt being told. I'm sure you're aware its not very easy to turn the sound on without looking at the screen so i had to find somewhere to stop during rush hour. Not fun.
I have turned off sent notification but it isn't that thats causing the problem it's because O2 send a network alert telling you your credit everytime you've used some of it.
Thanks for all the responses. I think i'm going to give O2 a ring and ask them to turn it off. If anyone knows how to turn just the sound off though it would be really useful.

well, if its just a problem of you accidentally starting tomtom with no sound.....then i suggest you use tomtom starter
http://www.klaes.nl/
it will automatically change you volume to the max when you start tomtom

Hmmm that looks very interesting. Thanks i'll give it a go.

wiping SetCPU

Does anyone know how to completely remove setspu files? I have tried to wipe it, unstall it and for some reason whatever it does to modify the hardware is still there. I am having issues with incoming calls with this app. The diealer doesnt show up when i get an incoming call.
Thanks

uninstall setcpu, its been a long time since its been updated. last time it was updated was in april of 2013! it doesnt work right with lollipop nor with the nexus 6. there are many cpu control apps that work with lollipop and the nexus 6, setcpu is not one of them.

are you wearing a screen protector or a case? try taking the case off then have someone call you. its a known issue when wearing certain cases.

not a screen protector issue. had it on for about 2 weeks without issues. installed setcpu last night and not im having issues. doing a factory reset resolves the issue but then im too lazy to download all my apps and set it all up. so, im looking for the files that setcpu modifies or adds so i can delete/edit them.

Figured it out. I simply had to reset app preferences. somehow installing setcpu caused them to get all messed up

I like SetCPU because I can make profiles. For example, my kernel is set 300-1247 with screen is of, another setting is when the phone is in call, and full speed when screen is turned on.

Annoying 4 note notification sound

The sound is 4 progressively higher notes on a xylophone-like wooden or bamboo instrument. Usually plays on unlock, but also randomly throughout the day and night. My default notification sound is silence, so this might be tied to an app or the OS (MM 6.1). I just don't know what it is - other than loud and inconvenient. Any Ideas? This is driving me crazy and waking my wife at night. Thanks.

its an app, 100000%. now your job is to find out which one.

Hi and thanks for the confirmation Simms22. :good: I know. Kinda obvious.
I have gone through settings and turned off most radios thinking it could be tied to an app through BT, GPS, NFC, etc.; a successful connection or location fix. I have also gone through the various apps and checked their notification sound settings too. No dice. Whats worse is that I have gone through all my ringtones and notification sounds and can't find it.
It seems to be tied to the Google Now cards notifications, but if it is, I can't find it. I don't really want to turn those off but I guess that's next. Grrrr.

id still be guessing, but google doesnt have a xylophone-like wooden or bamboo instrument sound on the nexus 6, so i know its not a default sound.

Thanks for the info. Hope I described the sound well enough. I'm mostly deaf in one ear and can't hear out of the other. Misspent youth and all that.
I know the notifications and ringtones I've added. That leaves apps that have brought their own sounds with their install. So it's back to the haystack.
I think I'll let it percolate in the sub-conscience for a while. Besides, I'm way behind on a personal Tasker project. Thanks again. I'll update later with what I find out.

you can enable safe mode. that way you can check if its an app. long press the power button until you get the power off option. then long press on the power off until the safe mode option pops up. if that notification doesn't go off, then its an app. as on safe mode, all apps are disabled.

Flash another ROM. This happened to me on PureNex and when I switched to Chroma it went away.
Sometimes it actually happens once in a while. I'll hear the annoying "do dieu do doo" sound
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I also have this problem. Has anybody found out the cause?
It started a few months ago and I ignored it, but now it is really annoying.
I put my phone into safe mode and it still happens. I assume this means it must be a preloaded app?
I installed a notification history app and nothing is listed when it happens!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Google play store problem

Does anyone have problems downloading with google play??
The problem happened around 3 days ago. I was trying to download something when it said "connection timed out, please try again after some time". After a few hours still I cannot load google play nor download anything
I have tried all the solutions possible for google play, service and framework ( clear cache, uninstall updates, remove accout, reboot, clear dalvik) but the connection only works in the beginning then after like 2 mins then "connection timed out" again appears.
For sure my internet connection is strong and I'm sure my ISP is not blocking google play because I can access it via web. What's weird is when I use a VPN, google play all of a sudden works flawlessly.. can anyone help me in diagnosing where exactly is the problem?

I have the same exact problem on my galaxy note 8!. My Google play store won't load anything if I'm on Wi-Fi or on cellular Data!!
But with the VPN it works!

I had a similar problems. I got the Samsung Disconnect Pro app when it was free. I installed that then had the same problems. Turned it off and everything was good. After a day turned it on and now working correctly.

I don't have that app nor ever used it... so I wonder where my problem is coming from?

Try looking at your power options, it might be sleeping wifi (im presuming it happening on wifi). The VPN thing might solve it cause VPN usually does not sleep wifi properly

It's not something that turns up on the battery saving list, it's a power saving feature
under
Settings-->Connections-->Wi-Fi-->Advanced (top right hand corner menu)
make sure Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep is set to always
if i recall moderate battery saving will switch this off

I had this exact same issue on my note 8. I blame the smart switch app on these issues. I usually always do a fresh install but this time tried to be fancy and tried that. After doing a fresh install and not using any backups my phone is flawless. I know its annoying going that route but trust me it works and you will have peace of mind.

Did you restore any data from Samsung cloud?

I'm still facing this problem. I didn't install apps that are not from Google play and I did not restore from Google or Samsung cloud. And I also did not use Smart switch. I love this phone but this issue is very frustrating to be honest

Nothing.
Anyway thanks for the inputs guys, I found the culprit and it has to do with an app I downloaded and installed outside the playstore coz it was not available in my country. Once I uninstalled it the playstore came back to normal.

I understand how you feel. I felt like that for a week. I hope someone will come up with asolution for you.

If you don't mind can you disclose what app was causing you issues, I'm deleting, restarting and clearing my play store memory hoping to solve this issue but no luck so far

ok long shot but try going into
Connections-->Wi-Fi-->Advanced (menu on top right)-->Wi-Fi control history
to see if there are any apps messing with your wi-fi

Thank you... the history is clear there is nothing. But that's probably because I keep restarting the phone. Now the Google play store home page won't even load

Note 8 will not stay on vibrate

Has anyone experienced their phone reverting back to ring instead of vibrate? I always have my phone on vibrate but lately it automatically goes to ring. Can someone tell me what's up with this

That happened to me with my note 7, but not with the 8

No. I'm not rooted and don't have any mods at all.

Maybe a factory rest or just turn your phone off and on.

This is happening to my phone as well and it seemed to happen randomly. I thought i might've not changed it to vibrate but it has since rang while at work multiple times when i KNOW i'm putting it on silent or vibrate.

Yes it happens randomly but I miss calls because it goes to the lowest ring volume so I can't even hear it.

Check that you havent set it up on a schedules or messed up Do Not Disturb. Theres a built in app that I think called Samsung Connect that allows you to connect to other samsung devices but, also lets you set what happens during certain times of day or when you get home. Like your ring turns down at 7pm or when you get home. Id check that out aswell.
