Mysterious sound when unlock screen - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone..
When i unlock my s3, it plays "be-beep!!" sound. Water effect sound plays too. But at the same time "be-beep!!"
If i silence the phone, no sound.. there is not any notif. or fault or error on the screen.. it plays only once when i unlock screen.
Whats that sound??
Ps: it was playing when my s3 unrooted and stock official rom. I rooted it and flash omega v13, its playing now too...

Sometimes it sounds.

Do you have anything near it?
Can it be nfc that's being triggered

No there isnt any suspicious object. Even i walking outside it plays.. weird.
U think any hardware error can do this?

Lol in the relevant system/media folder and see if you have any additional files for unlock screen, another Rom might have dumped a new sound file and it needs removing?

I'm experiencing the same issue. It is intermittent, but generally if restart my phone it goes away for a while. I am unsure as to what triggers the sound to start again. The only way I can stop it is to turn off notification sounds altogether (or turn the volume down to mute), but this is not practical. I have tried to find the audio file to delete it, but no luck. Happy to record the sound if somebody tells me how!

Take your accessory case off and i bet the noise goes away...
it is NFC ... near field communication... the phone is picking up your case and thinks its another device, it can be turned off in settings
took me ages to figure it out too

Cheers! I'll give disabling NFC a go (since I never use it but do need a protective case on account of having a habit of dropping my previous phone). I'll let you know how I go!

[Q] Missed call stuck on "1"

Cannot get rid of the missed call which is on the Phone icon.
After reboot, still there.
Does someone else have this issue ?
Yes my friend's is stuck on one missed call since the first day he got it and my Samsung app shows an update even though there isnt one. We tried everything short of wiping the phone.
Next firmware
I guess we will have to wait for the next firmware update.
Try calling and missing a call and see what happens.

Nothing adds up to that '1'
I can see the missed call in notifications.

I have the same problem, the 1 missed call is stuck there, I think from the update..... i've learned to live with it
Was solved for me after wiping the phone.
Verstuurd van mijn GT-I9300 met Tapatalk
I had 4 missed calls and after acknowledging it, the icon was still there it wasn't until I called that person that the icon went away. I say call for a split second and hang up. Maybe thats the trick!
It happened after the update so factor rest AND full wipe helpen to solve it.

A friend of mine got the same problem. It's stuck on "1". Any solution to this problem without factory resetting the phone?
I had this problem only when I used Touchwiz. Installed Apex Launcher, and the problem was gone

SMS/MMS Notification Sound Cut Off

Lately I've noticed my SMS/MMS Notification Sound gets cut off in the middle of playing.
I'm using the "Whistle" notification sound. It worked fine the first day I had my phone (today would be day 5 I've had it)
I've tried restarting the phone, choosing different tones, fixing permissions, clearing caches. So far nothing seems to be working
It looks like it gets cut off when the screen lights up from the notification.
Anyone else having this issue? And if so, have you found a fix (besides using a 3rd party messaging app like Go SMS). I have the Sprint variant, stock rooted (LF9)
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Yeah I had the same problem
But it only happened when my wife would text me
I did the same fixes as u did thinking that would work, but it didn't so I erased that contact put it back in and now it works right
Good luck

Wowwwwww you know what? It only happens to me when my girlfriend messages me lol. Wtf? That's so weird! Maybe it has something to do the most frequently messaged person? Gunna delete the contact and test.
Thanks!

It does this If you set a limit for incoming texts and have auto delete on. Erase all the messages when your at the limit and it will go back to normal again

Oh that makes sense. I had my auto delete set @ 120 SMS. So I'm guessing what happens is once the thread hits 120 and you get a new SMS the notification gets interrupted by the system deleting the last message in that thread to make it 120.
Well this is all very helpful. Problem solved. Thanks guys!

Another work around for this is to use zedge to assign your sound. For whatever reason, it bypasses the issue and the sound fully plays when a new message comes in.

Truncated / Cut short SMS Notifications

Hi guys,
I'm having a weird bug with SMS notifications on my S3, when I get a text it will cut short or sometimes not even play the notification sound. I've tried various tones, restarting the phone, changing the settings off - reboot - turn setting back on, but nothing is sorting it... Anyone else had this issue and been able to resolve it?
Thanks,
J
Same problem here, its totally random.
I've noticed this myself a few times as well.
I had it, I changed to a different notification sound and that fixed it. Not sure if you can go back after? Whistle annoyed me so didn't try.

Do you keep your phone screen down on a table, there's a motion settings to mute ringtones if the phone is placed screen down on a table.

Tasker not working on s3?

Hey all. Today I installed Tasker on my s3..I was trying to get "turn wifi on at home" working.. I followed tutorials correctly but it did not worked.
So I tried an easy on like - open music player when headphones inserted.. That did not happen too.. What am I supposed to do?

I use tasker, it is great. It has worked perfectly for me on ICS, CM10 and the Samsung JB leaks.
It sounds like you are missing something obvious, I take it you have ticked the "ON" box on the bottom right of the main screen to activate it ?

Can you just select the task and Press the PLAY button?
Does that open up the Music app.
I'm not sure, but maybe the Music app does get loaded in ram but isn't shown in the foreground.
Btw, you can easily do this with PowerAmp. No need for tasker
Yes tried play button too.. Doesn't work...
Btw I don't need the app for this.. I need to turn wifi auto on near home and stuff..
Also I did not bought the app.. I got the apk.. Does this has do do something with it?

If you download the apk from there website it has a 7 day trial. Uninstall then try the website apk and then you'll find out.
I had no problems with tasker when I got my S3 but I've moved to CM10 preview now.

Get an account in Axis bank or buy any credit cards.
Btw Axis bank debit cards(Master) work everywhere.
I have been using Llama for Wifi Auto on when @ home & work, works flawlessly.
It's a free app, try it.

Sometimes it stays pushed and reboot for several times, can somebody help me? Please don't give the answer: "Send it to Samsung" or something else, i haven't got guarantee anymore, so i want to fix it myself.:good:
Then you need to dismantle the phone see the SGS3 tear-down via Google .

To dismantle the phone and fix the power button? Obviously it is some kind of hardware challenge and not software, hence open up the phone is needed I guess.
