strange problem

[zog1977]

my phone started playing a song last night that i have never heard. It did all night and twice today so far,.
the only way i get it to stop is to pull down the notification bar.

i check all my settings, i have no songs attached to ringtones.

i am at a loss here.


any suggestions?

That is strange...

When you say playing a song, you mean via a music player or something like that, or is it a notification of some kind?

 

[zog1977]

there is nothing

no music player indication, no notification

it is driving my nuts

That has happened to me before. Change your default notification and restart your phone.

The only thing I can think of is that your phone is haunted with the ghost of Thunderbolts past...ha! That is really strange though.

That is strange I would try pulling out your media card and see if if stops.

It's the Gingerbreadman poltergeist!


...but in all seriousness that is wicked strange.

Is it your alarm?

spooky

i'll give a call to Skinner who'll notify Mold and Skull to investigate more about this.

if you find out. let us know.

This happened to me as well.

I was enjoying SKY.fm (nice 80s tunes) and then heard some 50s. Next, some top 40. It was playing over top of SKY.fm's audio.

I thought maybe they were having issues but started to recognize the tracks as MP3s I copied to the phone.

Come to find out, winamp started playing all by itself. I know no one touched it as it sat on my table and we were in the pool.

Very odd...

it happened 4 times last night while i was sleeping and once this morning. I do not even know what the song is!


and no, it is not my alarm

Do u have any music streaming apps that could have somehow activated. If you can't get it to stop u might have to do a factory reset. Or call in the ghostbusters

 

[zog1977]

i do have streaming music apps, but it was the same song every time!

Try deleting the music streaming apps. It more then likely is not the cause. But at least we can remove possable causes

Here's a thought... Check your battery usage in Settings > About >Battery > Battery use. Anything out of the ordinary showing up in there??

Also, are you currently rooted?

Edit: Another thought occurred to me. Maybe check out Settings > Apps > Running Services. Again, anything out of the ordinary running here?

Good idea. If you are rooted it could be a rom issue

 

[zog1977]

not rooted and nothing strange running

U might be looking at a factory reset.I would also download and run lookout and make sure there is not a bad app on your phone causing this

it was a gmail notification from the htc stock email app. it was somehow changed

it changed it after the last update.

That would explain the repeated noise at odd times. Glad you got it figured out
