Repeated two-tone beep
 

Starting this evening, I've started getting a two-tone beep every couple of minutes. Nothing I do, including battery pull, seems to help.

I don't have any alarms set in the calendar or in the clock applet. I don't know of any other apps/applets that would cause the beeping.

I should also add that the beeping is not controlable as far as volume. I can turn the volume down all the way and the beep is still quite loud.

Any ideas? I hate to have to power down the unit if I don't need to, but the beeping is driving me nuts.

Thanks.

I'm trying to track down a device in my house that also makes a beep-beep noise at irregular intervals... I've slowly narrowed it down to the N800 through a process of elimination - it most recently went off 14 minutes ago, but I probably won't hear it again for several hours if not days (assuming it goes off when I'm asleep/not around to hear it).

I've no idea what causes it - the "beep" is quite tuneful, more of a polyphonic "duh-duh" in my case. I've no alarms set either. Isn't a low-battery warning as the device is currently charging, I put on charge about 20 minutes before it's latest outburst and it was on 4 bars to begin with (still charging, not yet reached full charge as I type). Quite possibly only started since the 3.2007.10-7 update, but I couldn't swear to it.

Most odd.

Check for a really tiny textbox in the lower left corner. With a microscope (yes, the LCD is actually a lot finer-grained than Nokia led us to believe) you might just make out the message:

"Anti-matter reactor will self-detonate in XXXX seconds", with "XXXX" a downcounting number that -- hopefully! -- will not yet read "0002".

My sources tell me that the only way to prevent a cityblock-wide pseudo-nuclear detonation is for you to set "sapporobaby" to "ignore" immediately. Apparently the big honchos at Nokia have it in for him for spilling the beans.

(:D only joking, of course. We like sapporobaby and he hasn't got anything to spill)

Haha... but if it's true to Nokia stylie the device will crash and reboot when it gets to 0001!

Better not derail another thread and massage his ego any further with yet more discussion. ;)

Now, if only we could get the source code to that antimatter-reactor. It would improve battery life to no end. Literally, even.

OK, OK. I'll shut up now.
