    Hello, for the second time the last two days. I get this weird chime going off on my 8 Plus. It almost sounds like an alert or call coming in.
    But there are no notifications, just this weird chime.
    I tried to reset the phone, but the steps do not work.
    Has anybody experienced this? Thanks

    Check your notification settings for your apps and see if you can narrow down where it might be coming from. You may have sounds on for something, but lockscreen, history, & banner are turned off.

    Thanks nikkisharif, I am doing that now. But that weird chime I get, when I go into my sounds. There is no chime there that sounds like the one I am getting. The second time it happened, it froze my phone. I think my phone is possessed.

    My girlfriend had a similar issue a while back and it ended up being her cat app. She found out the weird chime was the cat was hungry.

    It could be coming from an app so check the settings on your apps especially any entertainment apps

    You’re welcome!!

    That’s weird that it froze the phone! If it’s not an app, then your phone is definitely possessed Good Luck!

    Thanks again! I use the tile app. I am guessing since I tweaked the settings, it could be from that. I don’t know, I haven’t gotten the chime yet today. So time will tell.

    This happened to me, and at the worst time possible! I have TrackR pixels and have the bad habit of putting my keys in my back pocket! Well, if I sat down in a certain way, it would set off the alarm on my phone!

    No it is your phone telling it likes you.
