I have a samsung galaxy s22 phone with android. I had a wear OS device that I paired with the phone but cannot now remember the passcode. Sometime around the time I paired my wear OS device and maybe due to an app I had installed on that device, my android now beeps on the hour, every hour, all hours of the day and night. It is a little annoying and it causes me to turn off my notifications and notification bell so that I am not constantly interrupted. Today it started beeping twice on the hour. I fear I may need to do a factory reset on the phone because i cannot stop this beeping. I have roughly 700 apps on my phone but few have notifications enabled. When I get a beep on the hour there is no notification, just the beep. My alarms are all disabled.
Is there a way I can stop this without wiping everything on my phone and starting from scratch with a factory reset? I have factory reset my wearos device and re-paired it with my phone but the hourly beeps continue.
And yes, I do have ADHD. And no, I’m not using all 700 apps. And yes, I don’t know which of these 700 apps I will eventually use or not.
I’m ok with a factory reset in theory, once I audit these apps or maybe just dump it all onto a NAS and hit the big button.
But also hey if anyone know a good way to root these samsung phones that might also be a good thing to do at this time. I fancy myself a good root.
