Charging phone keeps beeping!

[tomme12]

Why is it when I charge my phone thing beeps every 15-30 minutes or something. Im not sure what its doing, but I cant keep it next to me at night and have it beeping. I turned off system sounds and it still beeps. What the heck is it doing!

I have the same problem, though the beeps are more random. The "beeping sound" is the same sound that occurs when you take the phone out of Airplane mode. A few others on another forum have the same issue. Anybody know what this is?

+1 I would also like to know what the random noises are all about.

Ok, so I've been sitting next to my charging phone for the past 30 minutes and it's beeped twice. Both times I turned it on quickly and noticed that the 3G icon is gone (it comes back on within a few seconds). Maybe the radio is resetting for some reason? Can anybody else confirm?

I have system sounds to off. This is separate from notification sounds such as the alarm, a text, etc...

So I've done a couple test so far. I can confirm for me at least, that the phone will not "beep" when you turn Wifi on, which again points to it being an issue with the 3G radio. I've done a factory reset and have had no issues for the past 90 minutes it's been charging. I'm going to reinstall my apps a couple at a time to see if the beeping is a possible issue with a certain app. I'll reply back when I have more info.

Its losing cell signal altogether. My wifes epic started doing this yesterday. Shed lose all bars sporadically and get the blue circle with a line through it (no signal icon) it'd quickly reacquire afterward.

Odd as I also have an epic and mine at the same time was behaving normally.

This only seems to do it while charging though. I have very spotty reception at work often having 50-60% of the time with no signal (and that's with the Airplane mode ON/OFF fix) without any beep. The phone did make it through the night last night without beeping, so I'm hopeful the factory reset worked.

I just noticed this problem last night... my girlfriend actually noticed it saying my phone kept beeping and it was driving her nuts... has anyone found out what the solution is?

[dragonol2]

the one that comes with the phone.

I use those that came with my Pre touchstones as well... so I use Epic chargers and Pre chargers for all my wall-charging needs...

 

[tomme12]

Im going to give this a try and see if it shuts up. I cant believe this is that hard to turn off. And no, Im not going to put my phone on Silent every night, then every morning turn it back.. bah!

Charging phone keeps beeing

The noise has been driving my gf crazy as well. I didn't notice the beeping until recently. Yesterday I could not make or receive phone calls, text message, or use data, while having full bars of reception. After doing a series of test for an hour with the Tech and Special Tech team, Sprint would not resolve this problem. Some how, when I was going to exchange the phone 5 hours later, it worked at the store. Just my lucky. Well, I guess I noticed the beeping more today while it is charging and it could have caused my problems. I noticed the dropped 3G signal and DATA ROAMING GUARD. This notice does not pop up at my apt., only while charging. I just turned off the Data Roaming and hoping that the beeping does not continue. If it does, I would have to trade it in for an EVO because it may be a bug with these new phones. I am afraid that this problem will continue to occur after my trial period.

Did that app work? This has been bugging me for weeks. And I can't figure out why my phone randomly decided to start doing this.

 

[jeadly]

Any motion on this issue? Hard reset my only recourse?

battery

why does my fone say its charging when theres no charger plugged in an why does it keep bleeping

 

[Jim Tyson]

I realise I'm late to the party but...

This beeping when charing is caused by a faulty charger connection: each time the phone registers that it's connected and charging it beeps. If the charger connection is unreliable then each time it disconnects and then connects again you will hear the beep.

The sound occurs on my Galaxy S3, usually a series of beeps in quick succession. The sound is a short high-pitched beep, not the sound associated with charging/not-charging. I can't determine what invokes this alert.

I found this on the Bell Mobile site, however:

"If your mobile phone frequently beeps, even though your battery is fully charged, check the alerts in your settings menu. Several phone models have a 1-minute alert and a service change alert. Make sure they are set to off to avoid the beeps."

Basically, that means your phone's telling you it's about to die, even though it isn't; or a circuit's being rerouted. However, this is advice from 2012. Could be something else again. Not a problem so long as it's not a warning that your phone's being hijacked.
