Phone unlock sound and vib just started

[Debbie77057]

Just yesterday my phone started making a sound and vibration every time i unlock it - super annoying.

I've gone into settings/sounds&vibration and turned off all system and touch options. Turned my phone on and off. 

I can't quite ID the sound - a 2 tone blurp?

How did this happen and what else can i do?

I have an S10e

Hello 👋 @Debbie77057 

First id suggest to try https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-to-start-my-galaxy-device-in-safe-mode/  to see if an app is causing this. 

If not then come out of Safe Mode and try Clear Cache Files from the phone's System Partition Section  > https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-clear-the-cache-on-my-device/ You may need to insert your earphones or hook upto a powered On Laptop or use a Tv's USB Port or a usb-c to usb-c phone to phone set up to access the Clear Partition Section. This may help with lag or stutters as this clears the phone of old/unused or broken cache files.There is also a Repair Apps option in the Menu System too { Possibly excluding the s²⁴ Series of phone's } 

May I suggest to perform a forum search as you may find already existing threads with help and advice within. 

If i can be of any further help please don't hesitate to ask  😎

This could be due to more notifications coming through when you unlock your device. For example, I don't get notifications from members until I unlock my device.

If that doesn't work, you might have some success installing GoodLock from the Samsung store. You then need to install a plug-in called ″Nice Catch″. This gives the ability to log all actions that trigger a noise so you can identify what is causing it.

[Debbie77057]

Thx i did that.  

And the result was "Android System". Not sure where to go from here. It did NOT sound in safe mode.

Update!

In the NICE CATCH app , i looked at the 'vibration history' and it listed NFC (for contactless payments?) , which i never use - so i turned it off - and the sound/vib is gone!

Don't know what's up with NFC that it impacted my phone lock, i hope i never have to turn it on again.

Thanks for the Nice Catch app - i think it's going to be very useful!!

Thank you for letting us know, I was just looking at what other options it might be. Glad you've identified tge cause.
Curious why the NFC was generating a vibration though. I've tried to replicate it but can't.

Well,  after further 'research' , it's my credit card on the back of my phone (the chip)... but the question is 'why now?'.  My phone is 5ys old and a CC has been solely on the back the whole time, in the same case....... I've been putting off getting a new phone because i don't want to drive myself crazy on where new settings are,  why is it doing that, or how do i get it to act like my old phone - but seems I'm doing it with this phone now lol

The fix worked for me, thanks a million!
