Anyone else had this?? A couple of times a day it just starts playing a song off the SD card... it's always the same song... It's not while getting an email, text, or phone call... Anyone else experienced this? It's a brand new phone that's just rooted and sideloading enabled... Still on stock firmware, 3 days old...
Which song? LOL
Never heard of that, if it keeps up you're within your 30 days, return it.

That's just it, this IS the replacement The old one is sitting on the table for an issue where it always thought the USB was plugged in even when it wasn't. It did the music thing as well, was hoping it was due to the same USB issue but I guess not... It's got to be one of the installed apps... Going to start uninstalling stuff, but most of the apps are various google apps (goggles, etc)
It happened to me the first time I flashed. Even though my alert notification settings were reloaded and set for the same sounds, and those sounds were on the same place on my sd card, I got the alphabetically first mp3 that was on my phone for every alert. I had to go in and re-select each notification tone and everything was fine after that.
My guess is that you restored something with settings that has an alert sound. Obviously, not anything that you mentioned (email, sms) but something through maybe you forgot about?

This happened to me once. Funny thing was the mp3 that it started to play was a chapter in the bible calling for repentance. I thought god was calling me out. Turns out it was just the first mp3 in my list.

Hahaha that's amazing
This is a job for "Ghost Hunters."
Ah, this is the thread I need. Yes, this is happening to me as well. What I found is that the music seems to play when switching network connections. For example, if I'm in a poor reception area and the phone switches from 3G to wireless, the music might start playing.
The way to stop the music is to pull down the notification drawer. Weird.
This seemed to happen a lot more when I flashed Cognition 2.3b8 / 3.04.
Sound familiar to anyone else?
Sounds like you guys have the option turned on to notify you when switching towers or whatever that setting is called. I know it's there, just haven't used it on this phone. I use it when I travel so if I change towers it alerts me and I can see if I'm roaming.
Look for this in the settings, and turn that notification off.
Is that an option in 2.2? Couldn't find it, but perhaps I'm missing something. What I am hoping is that it's one of the apps I have installed, like NoBars. I'm turning other notifications off to see if that helps. The odd part is this only happens maybe once a day, so to me it doesn't appear consistent.
Mine is doign the same thing as described by the OP. Seems to be playing the first mp3 located in the "Music" folder I created on my internal 16gb SD-card randomly throughout the day. Not sure if it coincides with the battery full notification or not.
The started happening a couple days ago, before I switched to official froyo, and now it's doing the same thing after the upgrade. I have never rooted or flashed my Cappy, other than from official 2.1 -> official 2.2 yesterday.

Hey all, just a quick problem I'm having with pandora. When I'm driving around listening to pandora it will randomly stop playing a song and I'll have to skip to the next song and it will play fine again. Anyone else have this problem? I've tried reinstalling from the market, and it's persisted over several roms and 2.1 and 2.2. Any help would be great! Thanks.

I'm a bartender and I plug my phone into the sound system to play music for the whole bar when I'm working, and I often stream music. For a while, I used Pandora but it would stop like that and/or freeze up and I would have to force stop it in task manager and re open it, which takes at least a minute (and in bartending, is a lot of time not spent making money). It got to the point where Pandora would stop every 4th or 5th song. Mind you, this was the same whether I was on wifi or 3g. Anyhow, I switched to Slacker and it's been almost flawless. It also actually plays the ****ing artist that I create the radio station around.
i also had this happening to me a while ago but it seems to be sparatic with my phone, lately it has been working great with wifi and 3g. It usually happens to me though when i am on a 3g network when i want to listen to something other than my ipod. Then other times i can be at school just sitting doing my hw while listening doing hw and it starts stopping on me. Unlike you though mine seemed to stop when the screen shutoff and i would have to press play again and as soon as i did that it would stop again. Think the problem was due to ATK but dont really know if that was true
screw pandora now.

I have also switched to slacker in the last couple weeks and will never go back to pandora. You are correct in that you actually hear the artist you chose quite often.
My wife and I notice that a lot when we are driving home from work listening to it via bluetooth. Every 3-4 songs it does that. In the middle of the day I never have a problem. I'm pretty sure their servers are likely just getting overwhelmed.
Was beginning to think it was my phone doing it...will try slacker now.
I, too, am glad to know it's not just my phone. Everything you guys describe happens to me also.
I never heard of Slacker, but will check it out now.
This has been an issue since version 1.5 of Pandora. It's very lame.
If you can find an apk of version 1.4.x, supposedly it was more reliable.

I think I'm done with Pandora. Anyone have any advice between Last.FM and Slacker? I'd probaly go with the premium on which ever one I decided on.
Cog 4.1 btw
Just chiming in to say I have the same problem. I only get a few songs then Pandora stops playing. Not sure if it has to do with the phone going to sleep. I have seen some posts about "Mobile Data Always On" option but I have yet to find that on the Captivate.
No its pandora! I just downgrade to 1.3 and been fine since.
So as the title says, I had an alarm set for 10am one day and since I didn't need it anymore I took it off. Well the next day at 10 am it ended up going off again. I checked to see if it was still active, but it wasn't even there.
Is this a known bug our does anyone know how to fix it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Simple question is did you restart your phone too see if it still happens. It is not a bug that I have ever seen reported. Maybe reinstall the clock and see if it still appears as a setting?
This is my captivate. There are many like it buy this one is mine.
=======================================================================
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<SOLVED>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1052796.html) which indicates that a voicemail alert, prior to the media scanner completing, causes this issue.
=======================================================================
So this morning I rebooted my phone. After it loaded into the home screen (but, before it connected to the network or finished media scanning) it began beeping, loudly. I was only able to silence it by turning the phone to silent mode. This beeping continued for roughly two minutes then stopped.
At no point was there any alert or message to indicate that the system had booted up in a manner that was abnormal. After repeated tries, the device makes this noise upon boot, religiously.
What the hell is it, and how do I stop it?
Seriously? Anyone? This is obnoxious.
Maybe if you gave more info...like rom...kernel...stock...recent apps...

Well, my ROM info is in my signature and I am running the default Serendipity kernel (hardcore speedmod). There have been no recent alterations to system settings, setup, or applications. No new apps installed, or uninstalled, in the past week. And nothing is open on the device when the beeping occurs (as the phone is still starting up).
Let me take a stab...might work, might not
Do you use Google Voice?
I was having an issue last month where the phone would give the odd old G1 beeping sound as soon as it reached the homescreen after reboot. Found it was a rogue google voice email message that was trying like hell to give me a notifier, but was failing miserably. Check your web console for GV and see if you have a new message waiting to be read (or listened to), open t so it doesn't eed to notify. That stopped my crazy beeping.

I do not use Google Voice. It is, however, installed on the device. When I open it I am given a series of setup questions, so I don't imagine that it is telling me that I have a message waiting.
I originally thought that it was a message alert from some program. The problem with that is that it goes on for nearly one-hundred and twenty seconds and does not give me any visual indication of what it is attempting to alert me to.
My main concern is that it is some sort of hardware warning and that I am ignoring it out of ignorance.
Does the beeping stop when you pull down the notification bar as it would to silence an actual notification?

Can you identify which file on the phone is the actual beep sound? I'm just wondering if something is specifically calling the sound file, or if it is random. If you could identify the file and delete or rename it, it might help troubleshoot to see what your phone would do/attempt to do.

My beeping stops when i pull down the notification tray. I have been tethering for about a week without paying AT&T extra money with PDANet. Have they caught me?
This ringtone, for lack of a better word, is buried in the rom somewhere. It is called something like unresolved. Maybe reinstall kernel. this has happened to me before... I just can't remember how I fixed it.

Found another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1052796.html) which seems to have answered, but not solved, this problem.
This is apparently a common enough thing from what I've seen on line, but every solution I find involves the person having used a profile switcher or their calender to signify being unavailable. I do not use either type of program. I almost never silence my phone. (in the movie theater or similar, yes, but otherwise never) Does anyone have any idea what it could be? It;s only been happening since the OTA update to .217 ICS. It's getting thoroughly aggravating missing calls and texts, as I'm sure you can imagine... Thank you to anyone with ideas/suggestions.
Check your settings in both the system settings as well as each individual app. I think after the update the messaging app is set to silent by default, or at least the vibrate is turned off.
If the system is messed up I recommend that everyone install the ota factory reset. Clearing out your old GB data and letting the ICS run "fresh" solves a lot of problems.

Could it be a Smart Actions setting?
Settings are all fine yet it does randomly put itself on silent mode no vibration and you have to turn it back to vibration via settings volume rocker just puts it back on silent....

If it keeps happening tomorrow, I will do a full factory reset. Hoping I won't have to though. It's a pain in the rear to restore everything... It isn't a smart action thing because I have that app frozen, good thought though. Thank you all for the responses.
I tried a fr from recovery menu never froze apps nor rooted this d4 didn't help...

Update
I've found that it is only doing it with phone calls now. I cannot find a setting in the phone app or the system settings that is set to mute, but it keeps happening. Also, after using the lock screen to unmute it, I have to turn up the volume manually. The lock screen thing only bumps it up to the minimum volume level... Anything else come to mind before i do a full FR? I'd really rather avoid it if I can... Thanks again.
Now I've got one worse. Did a FR, no go. Tried to update to Eclipse, and messed it up. Had to .sbf back to factory. EVEN AFTER the .sbf, still having the same issue with it muting while recieving a call.... (i.e. goes on vibrate instead of ringing....) Any ideas ANYONE???!!?!?!?
Honestly, this sounds like a hardware issue to me. If I understand correctly, it sounds like the phone keeps going to silent (or vibrate after ICS)?
My guess after all your software troubleshooting is that your volume down key is either physically or electronically damaged, and periodically decreases itself. You might want to try remapping the volume button or something to see if that solves the problem. Of course, after that you don't have any volume buttons, which stink.
Aside, the physical buttons (power, volume) on the D4 really stink. They are very mushy and almost flush with the case, poor design if you ask me.
That thought crossed my mind also, but it only happens on an incoming call, and I can adjust the volume up and down in every app. If I don't receive a call all day, there is no problem, texts & emails work fine. I've even had a friend sit with me and text me (sound worked) then call me (muted as it received the call) and all it did was vibrate, no ringtone. I have who is it and thought it might be that, but un-installed it and no change... I'm totally out of ideas...
Thank you for the ideas, unfortunately nothing has worked so far. Any further ideas will be much appreciated. Thanks again.
Finally figured it out. Apparently it had to do with some stetting that Who Is It made. I had it set to announce the caller, which apparently doesn't work now. When I un-installed who is it nothing changed, so I re-installed it and on a whim disabled the announce feature, and it's been ringing fine since. I believe it was some sort of setting because after disabling the announcement, I un-installed who is it again, and the phone would ring without a problem. No Idea what setting it was. Thanks to veryone for the help.
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

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!
