Ever since the Feb security update my 6P has made some interesting sounds undisturbed. I'm completely stock, have never rooted and update when updates are available. First phone I haven't rooted actually. I do where a fitbit and have fitbit notifications turned on, but that just means when the phone rings the fitbit vibrates and the number scrolls across the fitbit led. That's the extent of fitbit's notifications. So in the last week the phone whether in my pocket or sitting on the desk will make a random sound for a variety of notifications (I have about 15 different sounds for emails, texts, ect.) but there will be no new notification. Noise for nothing. On occasion, the phone has even vibrated and on at least 2 occasions that I can remember, the phone started to ring and stopped just as quickly........and I know i'm not imagining it as my fitbit also vibrated like a phone call should make it, but no number popped up and no missed call the phone. All very strange and all since the last update. Anyone else getting phantom notification sounds?
The notification flood sounds like the phone waking up from Doze, but it shouldn't do it if it's in your pocket. Additionally, phone calls should come through as normal. I don't think the Fitbit would be the issue (I have one, but not a wristband with notifications, just a Fitbit One that I keep in my pocket), but I also don't use any notification sounds. I get vibrate for text messages only if the screen is off, and I have a ringtone. All other notifications are silent.

I've set a very loud noise for notifications of appointments, missed calls, arrived SMS's and so on. But Amsterdam is a noisy city, so it often happens that I do not hear the initial notification. Of course I can see them once I see my Today screen. But I'm one of those rare people who's not staring at the today screen all day ;-)
appointment notification settings has a check box for "repeat". Very nice, but that doesn't repeat anything as long as the notification dialog is still on.
Missed calls and arrived SMS's do not have that repeat setting by default.
And I do not really understand what the use is of a loud notification right after I missed a loud ringtone. I want to be notified later on until the device sees that I take action.
I found out that I could turn that on by replacing a registry key value from 9 to 40000019 (I believe, I can check that later). Borrowed that setting from the appointment notification.
The bad news is that the notification after a missed call/SMS now doesn't stop repeating after I've read the SMS or followed up the missed call. It goes on and on till I either reset or till it drains the battery.
Any suggestions from different registry settings up to commercial software are welcome.

Ok this is a really odd problem that I am having with my galaxy S4, running 4.4.2 NO custom roms/root or anything like that.
So whenever I get a phone call (this just started happening a few weeks ago) and I'm on the 'vibrate' profile, the phone will get the incoming call with the person's face on the screen showing me that the call is coming in, like normal. However, the phone does not vibrate at all, in fact, I see the silent logo on the top notification bar (even though the phone was on vibrate) and once I answer the call, the silent symbol is replaced by the vibrate one. This is only occurring with phone calls, not texts or other app notifications. So to recap: phone will not vibrate for incoming calls even though it is set to do so. Anybody have any idea of what is going on?!
Thanks.
I am one of those people who always has their phone on silent mode only (no vibrate, no sounds, nothing) as I just rely on the LED notification. Over the past couple of weeks I have noticed that when I wake up in the morning my phone is always on loud, noticeable straight away by the little jingle it plays when you unlock the phone. As I never have sounds on, this was instantly noticeable.
After a couple of days I had discovered that at 7:00am every morning my phone would automatically switch itself from being on silent to loud.
I have never ever used the quiet mode scheduling or anything similar with apps or anything else like that so I have no idea where this has come from. I have checked recently downloaded apps and none of them seem to be in the category that would need access to or change sound profiles.
I have a Three UK handset on the latest software 4.4.2 (D80220d-234-20).
To my surprise I can’t really find anything anywhere with people having the same issue so I’m a bit stuck as to what to even try now? Any one got any experience or ideas?
Will make a sort of wild guess as the timing seems right: are you running Google Now? While I do love being able to say "OK Google" from everywhere, it's been causing -- or at least I think it has -- inconsistent issues with my alarm and profile volumes not where I expect it to be and possibly conflicts with some 3rd party apps (Light Flow). For instance, I have sometimes found that a daytime alarm I had set (manually, not via Google Now) didn't go off -- YET when I look at the notification bar, it shows as if I had snoozed it... yet I did not.
Recently, it seems like Light Flow was acting up (I know they had a July 11 update that is being blamed as less than perfect). However, I decided to disable OK Google voice from my launcher (Nova) and from Everywhere activation and everything seems to have returned to normal.
i have the same problem with my phone G pro lite dual after updating my software
This has been happening to me aswell since an update in November. I have never used the silent mode function, it is defibitely turned off, but my phone changes from silent to loud every day at 6am. I have seen numerous posts about it but no resolutions?
hey all,
a while ago, suddenly one day without notice, my phone started behaving funny when receiving an incoming phone call.
Often, the Phone App's GUI wouldn't appear in the foreground. the phone would ring and vibrate properly, i could silent the ring with the volume rocker, but i have no way to answer the call. i know when it is finished ringing when i can see the missed call notification in the notifications bar.
also, during the ringing, i can continue using the app that was already in the foreground, the home button is disabled, and the notifications shade is disabled (cannot be pulled down)
i have no idea what i did to cause this (maybe playing with Handy Call?) and no idea how to get out of this state.
the worst part is, it seems to be random, i have no idea why it happens sometimes and not others. it is super annoying. ive actually started assigning specific ringtones to important people so i know immediately who is calling.
any one encounter this? any ideas?

Hi, I thought Sidelight would do the trick, and it works great, EXCEPT for the fact that it only alerts once and then stops. Often I'm out of the work vehicle and I won't see that notification alert and will end up not knowing anything came through.
Is there an alternative option for this phone that will simply give a recurring visual alert on the screen for calls and texts that I've missed?
