Put WM6 on not too long ago, and its been fine. Anyhow just like 2 weeks ago it sometimes makes this super annoying beeping sound. And its not a beep for a txt msg (which I would also LOVE to remove the 3 beep crap, maybe make it just one beep, if anyone knows how) but more importantly this new random beeping is driving me nuts. It seems to happen more when Im on longer calls but I may not be 100% on that.

Anyone else ever experience? Ive restarting my phone a few times hoping it would solve it but no go. I could do hard reset maybe? Would rather not but..

Oh and to note versions
ROM 3.57.502.1
ROM date 7/10/07
Radio 1.48
Protocol 32.81.7020.20H

Thanks

Any beep I have during a phone call is because another call is coming in at the same time. This sounds like what's happening to you... "call waiting"

Sounds like a notification "beep during a phone call every 1 minute".

its def not call waiting or battery dying or txt msg or email or anything similar. Ill check the 1min beep but I dont think it happens every minute not to mention that was never turned on. Hell I dont even remember where to turn it on but ill look thru the settings.

Any other ideas? I really dont believe its either of those =(

Hello,

The only times I've heard such loud beeping is when I'm calling (or being called by) a friend who is on the Sprint network.

Every now and then this loud beep comes up... Very loud, unlike any beep/bong/screech the phone produces... The funny thing is that he doesn't hear it... :/

I assume is some kind of cell signaling that is not being filtered by Sprint...

Maybe it's a roaming alert or something like that.

As far as changing your alert for messages/voice mails, you can do that through the "sounds and notifications" icon under settings.

I sometimes get a beep to remind me that I have a message that I haven't yet opened. At least that's what I think it is.

This is what's been happening to my wife. Everybody that talks with her on the phone, will hear this loud beep. And it's really loud. If you had your stereo headset that came with the 8525 it almost hurts. She doesn't hear anything. At first I thought it was my WM6 ROM or something but it happened to my mother-in-law while on the phone with my wife, and it's happened to me when I call my wife from the company line.

She and I are both on AT&T. Now that I see this thread, I might give AT&T a call.

Yes so heres what ive concluded. I was on a 30min phone call with the woman and at approx 3minutes it made the beep. Not once again after. When I was odne with the call, no notifications (no txt, no email, no missed call, no low battery).

I will note, though, when I got an incoming call while on the phone before I thought the sound was different (may be wrong) but recently I received one while on the other line and the sound it made is the same as the one im hearing, however when i hear it, there are no calls coming in. My phone is stupid maybe and thinks someone is calling =(

May have to hard reset and hard that fixes but dont want to go that route just yet.

You sure you aren't moving the scrollwheel? I a lefthanded person sometimes find myself moving the scrollwheel during a phonecall, this also gives a beep.

I am not hearing a beep on mine but people that I am talking to say they hear a loud beep sometimes only once or twice during a 30 minute call. We are both on AT&T however. They also say they only hear this beep while talking to me. I've changed roms and the beep still occurs I am told.

Did you ever find any answers?
