Default My Zio is making a quiet ringing sound

Ok So my phone has done this a couple of times. Basically what is happening is randomly my phone is making a standard ringing sound of 3 or 4 beeps (or so) a pause then the beeps again. This is completely different from the standard sounds i have set on my phone and when this ringing is happening i am not receiving a call nor am i receiving a text message. so far it just happens randomly and even when i put my phone into sleep mode it still rings requiring me to take the battery out to make it stop.


Has this happened to anyone before? what dose it mean exactly?

Happened to me until a factory reset. Came back though after reinstalling my apps. You can stop it by making a call. It is a little easier than removing the battery. Still annoying though. I think it could have started after an app was moved to the SD card, so I batch moved everything to the internal storage except for some games. Has not happened for a couple days, but I would not be surprised if it came back. I wish I knew what caused this.

Happened with me, too, on the Cricket Zio. Still searching for a solution. Doesn't seem to be a Zio specific problem, though. I read somewhere that it was happening on the Motorola Droid as well.

The XDA app doesn't show it. Please don't insinuate that anyone here is stupid. I, for one, don't appreciate it, and neither does anyone else. WE are trying to help YOU, and we ask questions for a reason. A clear, simple answer is what you should give when asked a question IF you want our help.

Default Quite ringing sound

This happens on the Cricket zio as well. It normally happens when you are in a low signal area for any extended period of time. Normally rebooting or making a phone call will stop it. As to why it is happening I have no idea however I do recall this was a problem on one of the old kyocera slider phone I had in the past.

Is there any point in digging into this? It's beginning to happen to me a lot (as my coverage at home sucks despite living in downtown Charlotte).

Every problem has a solution but I'm wondering if the new OC'ed kernel will eliminate it.
