Please help! Annoying beeping during calls!!

Has anyone found an answer to this problem mine and my husband's phone hear dial tone beeping while talking to someone else neither of us are pushing any buttons and the person on the other end cannot hear them we have the Note 5 and the Galaxy Edge Plus any help would be greatly appreciated

Oh so your problem - I had that too that is why I guess I am on this forum, if you haven't fixed yours yet since you posted this 45 minutes ago; all MINE WAS (my minute minder was off which I didn't know I had since I have unlimited minutes) but all it SEEMED to be was I thoroughly checked all of my messages - messages people leave you voice messages and text messages the latter is obvious but some people still leave voice messages so star 86 works for verizon however you check your messages check them, listen to them or delete them and hopefully that will solve your issue. I don't think I have it any more either that or no one talks to me anymore. HAHA!

So did yours sound like a dial tone being pushed that's what ours sounds like?

I have the same issue with my Galaxy (Android 5.1.1.). It is a "long dial tone" that interrupts phone calls but is not heard at the other end of the call. It comes across like an inadvertent button push from your face but the screen is dark/inactive. It happens a couple of times on each phone call. I'm pretty sure this is an Android bug.

My wife's S5 does exactly the same thing. Beeps during calls but the other person can't hear it. My HTC One does not do it. Her minute minder is off!!!!! For those of you who keep writing that even though people keep saying theirs is off. It's not her battery being low or call waiting or text messages. She's not hitting buttons with her ear. As far as I've been able to research, this Only happens to Samsungs. It started right after the last update from SAMSUNG. So if anyone has figureed this out please reply. Otherwise my advice is don't buy Samsung phones. It's definitely the phone.

I have the same problem with my Att galaxy note. and no it is not the minute reminderit was the voLTE setting. VoLTE stands for “voice over LTE.” What it means is that, when you make a call, your voice goes over your carrier’s high-speed data network instead of its voice network.

In your Settings, tap Cellular Or mobile network in your connection tab. Make sure that Enable LTE is turned off . Restart your phone. this should work. hope this helps

It was turned on. I turned it off. We'll see if that does it. Thanks.

I have a Note4 on ATT and I am experiencing the same annoying @$$ issue! I have read that it is a carrier network issue also stating people with higher pitched voices are triggering the stupid dial tone beep. I thawt that was bs at first but it seems to be valid now that i have been paying attention.
Also it is heard on both ends. I love the phone but i hate this noise!

Soooo did this method actually work?
Wouldnt decrease the speed of any data dependent phone?

I have the same stupid issue so far i ha e been reading its a network issue also stating that people with higher potched voices are triggering the noise i called bs on that a few days ago until i started observing this and it appears to be true.

Note4 AT&T

Yes. For her phone anyways, turning off the VO LTE did get rid of the beep completely so far. That's a great call. Thanks.

For the Galaxy Mega:

Settings > My Device > Call > Call Alerts > Minute Minder Uncheck the Box. As for this setting suggestion. I would say you uncheck them all.

I have a note 4 and At&T. I have the same long tone noise when on calls. Happens at different intervals and with conversations with other carriers. Other person can't hear the noise, only me. Can't seem to find an answer to this. Sounds just like a prolonged number on the call pad being pressed.

A tariff reminder tone, one for each dollar of credit used or something?

Clear your "missed calls" file. It's a reminder of a missed call.

What you are hearing is sporadic DTMF tones (aka "Touch Tone", the sound made when dialing on a land-line phone keypad.) When VoIP was a new thing, I played around with it quite a bit. I eventually ported my long-time land-line number to a Vonage number and used that for a couple years until I dropped it and went cell only. This was an issue with VoIP (and I assume still is) because of the way DTMF tones are sent.

When you use an IVR service (press 1 for this, press 2 for this, etc.) the tones are sent "in-band" meaning they can be heard on the line. The other end of the line received them as part of the voice call and needs to interpret them properly. VoIP, however, send them out-of-band as data. The voice adapter (the box that connected the phone to the IP network had to "hear" these in-band tones and convert them to data being sent over the connection. The receiving end of the VoIP call would take take that signal and regenerate the in-band tones before passing the call back to the PSTN (the "regular" telephone network) so IVR equipment could hear and use them.

The problem happened when certain sounds, or frequencies of human voices, most often female voices because of the pitch, would be heard by the voice adapter as a DTMF tone. The beep you would hear during the conversation was the echo of that tone.

This happens occasionally on (digital) cellular as well, for the same reasons. Equipment is much better now in dealing with this and it's much less common. When I used VoIP, I'd hear 1 or 2 tones and nearly every call. I still would hear them occasionally over a cell call, but with no where near the frequency. I still heard them occasionally on AT&T LTE. I've yet to hear one on Project Fi, but I haven't had that many phone conversations since I joined.

I've just had it for the first time on my Galaxy S4. It was when I was telling a builder who works for me that I can't afford for him to take any more time off. I asked if he was pressing it to his face and he said it was on speakerphone. I have got a mental image of him stabbing the keypad on the phone while I was talking to him. I tried it with my mobile to my landline and the caller (mobile) can't hear anything but the person on the other end (landline) gets a really loud beeping. I think that it may have been my builder stabbing his phone because he wasn't happy. Also, this must be a really easy way to piss someone off!!! So easy and you just deny it. Kids must know about this and do it. Does anyone else think so or do you think it's a phone issue?

By the way this is the fourth forum I've looked at and no one else said it might be malicious or a prank. I have nearly sacked this builder over this and still want to because I am convinced he was doing it but at the moment the jury is out. Also, if there is sufficient doubt eg other people having the same problem regularly it would be a bit harsh obvs.

Then why get a new phone if the problem will still exist? Might as well keep the phone you "love" and save money and the hassle.

I can't believe your providers didn't answer this for you! This is an emergency notification...usually when I get it, it's for an Amber Alert! (come on folks!)

It's NEITHER! It's an EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION, and it's MEANT to get your attention. Typically most of the time, they are Amber Alerts. Pull down the drop down screen, and you should see it there.

This is not an emergency notification, be kind of convenient to have an amber alert in your area Everytime you make a phone call. Dont know about you but I don't have amber alerts every 10 minutes.
Turned out on my phone that my WiFi calling option was enabled, once I turned it off the annoying beeping tones disappeared.
Settings->more->WiFi calling uncheck or slide button to turn off. I hope that helps.

Thanks Donna and Efwis. Still not sure what caused it. It has never happened before or since and was when I was talking to my builder who wasn't happy with me who said he was on speakerphone, so I think it was him jabbing the phone! I tested this and when you do it, you can't hear it but it is VERY loud at the other end. I think this is what it is personally but I stand to be corrected.

My GS4 and GS7 both had the Key press tone at random intervals and so does the GS8. I can't find a solution. I think it's the NSA.

What's NSA??
