weird voicemail notification / music issue

[rdahl578]

Hello all,

I had a strange issue for the first time with my Galaxy S2 that I've had since Dec. I turned the phone on this morning, and what I assume is the Samsung startup music played continually and LOUDLY. I rebooted the phone a few times and each time it happened. I have had a voicemail notification I hadn't opened since last night. Once I opened the voicemail and it was no longer in the notification bar, the music issue no longer happened. Has anyone experienced this? I am not rooted, otherwise I'd like to just go remove the startup song entirely. I don't want to have this happen in a public situation!

Thanks,

Randy

I also have this issue. Recently updated to ICS 4.0.3 and still the same music during boot (not always).

Any clue on how to get rid of it? thanks a lot.

Nothing yet. So far my only workaround is to put the phone in vibrate mode before I turn it off, and make sure I clear out voicemails and missed calls. If I do hear the music, if I drag the notification bar down it seems to stop it. I was hoping the ICS upgrade would fix it but it doesnt sound like that is the case.

SOLVED SOUND ISSUE: This issue is indeed a notification sound by your email system. What I found was one of my 3 Gmail accounts though the Android email app, was turning on a sound for notification and it will play until you go to notifications screen. My particular sound was a music file called "Faint" which repeats over and over. Quite irritating to say the least. Open the Android Email app, go to Settings/Added accounts, click on each account and scroll down to "Select ringtone". I changed it to another softer and short tone for each email account. I then closed the app, went to my Home screen. Hit the phone Settings button then Sound/Volume and for the Notifications Volume turned it way down. This solved this annoying issue that has randomly plagued many Android users! I've even been woken up by this. By the way, mine did not start till I updated to the new ICS 4.0 a little over a week ago. However it may have been the email app itself updating that caused it to start.
