Sprint, not using Google voice.

Just recently got a Supersonic replacement,

1st Supersonic, stock rooted, and cm7, random random beep 1800s, landlines, cells, other networks.

2nd Supersonic, I'm not soff yet, but unlocked so I can run cm7 again, same issues.

I bluntly in the middle of the conversation tell the NSA to use my phones gps to get within 15 feet of my phone so tI'llheyll see me shakingf my **** for them to suck,

And continue my phone conversation. I'm still a free man.

I'm having the same issue with my S4, I switched from Verizon to AT&T just a few days ago and never had it on vzw. My wife's S4 is not doing it, I ignored it for a while but now it's just plain annoying.

Seems to be happening on several Carriers and several phone types. Traced back in different forums since at least 2009. Someone mentioned it could be NSA and something about the tone being a part of letting you know that you are being recorded. Unsure if true, and yet only thing that makes sense. Very strange that people have been asking about this issue for so long and no answers of fixes being provided by any carriers. I have thought for a while it may be some sort of hack. Hopefully someday it can be resolved. really sick of the tone, that only I can hear and I lose what the person is saying at the random tie it happens. Long distance and local calls, always on my Bluetooth. Will have to use my speaker phone next time during a long call and see if it happens then. :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Locoman_:
If you're wondering if the NSA is listening to you; Arrange a call with a friend and discuss the success you had manufacturing highly effective "balms". ;)

Edit: Maybe this wouldn't be such a good idea..

beeping during call

I had the same issue which took me a while to figure it. The following steps fixed the problem, so give it try, good luck

1.Under device

2.Call settings

3.Under call alerts

4.Deselect Minutrs reminder

Or

1.Under sound

2.Look for call settings or call alerts

3. Minute reminder

The minute reminder will make the phone beep every minute, I don't know why that feature is even ther
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tom1968:
I wish it were that easy! This is definitely not the minute minder feature. It is a dtmf tone as if someone is pressing and holding the 4 or 5 key for a good 3 seconds. Sprint has not been able to figure it out yet. Their only suggestion now is to do a full wipe and software reload.

If it would help I would do it but I don't see where it would help since it's happening on android and apple devices.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] BillTheCat:
Droyd, per tom's message, it's definitely not the 'minute minder' feature. But to answer your question, back in the days before 'rollover' minutes and unlimited calling plans, cell time was very, very expensive. Even on a quick call, it was all too easy to accidentally have a call run over. So the phone hardware makers installed the tone timer to help users manage their bills. I don't know of a single phone that has that feature still activated, if it's even present at all. But what we're talking about is definitely not the call timer.

Nope, a new software load won't help. I've flashed ARHD a dozen times since having my HTC One, and it's still present, so you can tell them for me they don't know what they're talking about. ;)

The Beeps Are OVER! Rogers Canada Wireless Home Phone!

Hi, I'm from Ontario Canada and I'm using the Rogers Cell Carrier up here (which is in sisterhood too ATT). Anyhow I am using Rogers newest offering which is a Wireless Home Phone service that basically is a glorified box that connects to the cell tower and you plug in a cordless home phone set. In a nutshell it uses the local cell tower like any other cell phone would.

What I had was this beep sound at random blasting out into the ears of the people I would call or call me on the phone, the odd thing was I wouldn't hear it rather they would and it was loud and annoying. I suppose I can say that I would detect a slight muted millisecond of nothing if anything. To say the least I have had people say they were hanging up as they were annoyed by it and wouldn't want to call me anymore! I've even had a doctor on the phone and he became rude and hung up so this was becoming very disturbing to me.

Regardless, Rogers just emailed me recently stating that a new device was shipped and the problem addressed and corrected so I've since received it and it's WORKING as intended! :good:

There was the odd time I called to explain the situation to them and they were stumped and offered reboots etc however that was 4 months ago and out of the blue they shipped this to me! Needless to say I'm happy! :cyclops:

So yes...it's not you or people offering suggestions to root phones bla bla bla...It's definitely something with your carrier and their device!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mcchurchmouse:
I solved the issue for myself. I left At&t. Now I am with t-mobile (using the same phone) and I am beep free for several days now.

It makes me so angry that the device they said was defective is now running perfectly fine on another network. And I had to pay for an unlock code and an early termination fee. To their credit, they tried just about everything under the sun to solve my problem. Here are some of the things we tried that failed...:

* 3 sim cards

* countless factory resets

* 2 Note 2, a Pantech, and a Note 3

* a new google account

* running my phone with no apps

* deregestering my number

* deactivating my line

* a new phone number

* deactivating LTE

And things I tried on my own:

* root

* remove bloatware

* google voice

Its not the NSA, its not your device, but you are cursed with the tones of death. I don't think there is a way to solve it but to flee your carrier and start over. Good luck to all!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] BillTheCat:
Except that the service area for Tmobile is inadequate in my region. I was with Tmobile for a few years. They're OK in more urbanized areas, but my travel takes me all over, into regions where Tmobile doesn't go. Maybe when I'm ready for the HTC M9 they'll have it sorted out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mcchurchmouse:
Sorry, wasn't trying to recommend a specific carrier as much as to say a carrier switch solved the problem for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] intraCore:
I've been having this problem for years and it's only getting worse. It's been happening on every device I've owned and with different SIM cards. It's happened with a MicroCell and on a regular cell tower. It's happened on iOS, Android and Windows Phone. I'm using AT&T. It happened with or without Google Voice. It's like someone tapped their keypad and it makes an annoyingly loud tone in your ear... it usually beeps more than once and without a specific pattern. It just happens. A lot. Randomly. Sometimes the call will be fine and then- BEEP. This is driving me nuts and I don't understand why this has never been fixed. The only things that have been the same throughout are my phone number and carrier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] LPR_Tennessee:
Mystery

My assistant does not have a land line and every time she calls me from her cell phone I hear this beeping like she's accidentally touched the keypad, even when it's sitting on her desk and she is not touching the phone. The odd thing is that she cannot hear it. It drives me nuts.

Here are her specs:

Carrier: AT&T

Phone: Samsumg Galaxy 3

Bluetooth: Plantronics M155

Subscribing to this thread in case someone figures it out.

Edit: found this interesting thread which indicates it happens on iphones as well. One theory indicated something called a DTMF repeater which sounded very plausible.

Annoying beeps

Hey everyone, I Switched from an S4 to another S4 and started having the issue. Like everyone else said, the beeps come every now and then during the call and are annoying. My initial thoughts were that it's either the NSA listening or my wife installed one of those tracking apps that records calls and messages where you can get to read someone's texts even if they delete them. it also allows you to locate the person via gps. Then after visiting lots of forums I tried turning off minute minder in call settings and I made a call. I am presently on the call and it's been around ten minutes with no beep so i'm hoping it's gone. hope this is useful to someone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] doc72673:
same

I recently purchased a galaxy note 4 with at and t. I am having the same exact issues that you are all speaking about. Randomly it sounds like someone is hitting the number four on a keypad. The person on the other line does not here this tone only myself. I never had this issue with Verizon I am hoping that this issue will be corrected:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] IHC:
Well with 3 software updates on my S4 it's still doing it and getting worse, yesterday I had a phone conversation and it did it 3 times in 1 sentence. Gonna call at t and complain it has to be a hardware issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mynoodles:
same issue. happens randomly

Recently bought a note 4 from t-mobile. Never happened with my note 3

. It's happened while on a call with either my gf or sister. While I've had headphones or Bluetooth in. Has anyone heard any updates/fixes?

This is definitely not a hardware issue across 1 platform. My work phone is a iPhone 4S on AT&Tand now it's getting the tones during calls.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] TXTiger81:
No clue anywhere on the net

Just to add to this forum....I am on T-Mobile with a Galaxy S5 and have had the same issue. I just did a warranty replacement and the issue is still there. Luckily I haven't sent my original in yet. I'm going to harass customer care today about it when I get off work. This issue has been around for years across all the major carriers and both android and apple. This appears to be some ghost in the machine occurring everywhere completely at random. No one on any forum (I've spent the last 3 hours searching and reading) has any effective solution to this. Neither has any expert in any forum or customer service thread been able to satisfactorily remedy this issue, which is somewhat unusual for such an issue to go unanswered on official customer forums.

My 1st theory is that this problem is so thoroughly ingrained in standard carrier software systems (no expertise here, just conjecture) that the issue is just allowed to drop since it doesn't affect phone function or overall call quality. It just boils down to a mild annoyance; one that would be too expensive to fix seeing as how it is such a sparse, random and unpredictable problem (no one can duplicate it consistently).

Another theory I have is that it has to be an app that is a very popular or native app causing this. Has anyone done a hard reset and operated a few days without apps to try and narrow this down? I am yet to try this so it will be my next step. It'll be annoying but maybe I can make a breakthrough or at least narrow down the culprits.

My last theory is out there in left field (lol). Something involving government monitoring and big brother listening in. I won't go there until I have no other choice! ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] steve10:
Has anyone observed whether this issue is still present with AMR-WB and/or VoLTE?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] TXTiger81:
How can you tell which you are using? Ithink mine is LTE
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] steve10:
I'm on AT&T, so I can't use AMR-WB without a VoLTE-enabled device. So, in short, I'm using neither. I can speak to my experience with AMR narrowband on UMTS voice. The quality is mediocre to poor depending on who I'm calling, and I often get the beeping with everyone I talk to regardless of whether they're on "HD Voice" with AT&T or another provider.

Edit: Sorry, I misunderstood your question. The way you can usually tell if you're using VoLTE is see if you're still showing LTE when you're in a call.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RockinRog:
Unfortunately Beeps Still here.

Awhile ago i posted about the random beeps on Rogers Canada. Ironically they never occur on cell service with any regular cell phone. The beeps occur when using Rogers ZTE wireless home phone device. Our national Bell carrier doesn't have the beeps.

For awhile the beeps had resided on the ZTE but have since returned.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ConfusedUser001:
I was experiencing the same problem. It happened for weeks straight then stopped and started up again over a month later.

I did search after search and only found other ppl with the problem and the fcc requirement to record a call and that is to send a tone at different intervals.

After calling metropcs over and over I finally got someone to advise me to get a number number and account because there was a "flag" on my account and number. He couldn't give me any more details about my account but did say if my line was tapped then I would experience the same problem that I'm having.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RockinRog:
For sure, definitely not a mystery as my carrier Rogers in Canada knows of it and it's affecting just the wireless home phone devices that use cell towers for service. Ironically our cell phones utilizing same towers haven't been affected. Odd as it is this issue is still ongoing and is annoying for the people your connected with as the tone emitted is quite loud and very random in length of call times.

Correct. Its more than the camera you need.

The N4 camera even isn't the same as cm etc.

AOSP as you know, open source. But the N4 camera isn't in the Google aosp repositories because its proprietary (like gapps) which is why aosp/cm/aokp etc cameras don't have photosphere.

The source code isn't available, so ports / hacks etc are the best we have, so its all or nothing. Unable to add photosphere to aosp cameras. Unable to add new features to cameras with photosphere.

then move it to computer

open the .apk with 7zip

then choose Res>xxHDPI

Then find "R" picture

and change it to
