Treasure Tag WS-2 beeping incessantly

Lumia 925 with Lumia Black.
Successfully pair the Treasure Tag with the phone, turn off all alerts, yet the treasure tag still beeps randomly.  At first, I thought it was because the tag was away from the phone, but it seems to just be random.  Have restarted phone, tag, repaired, etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Ok, so I think I've got reproducing the issue down.  The beep is definitely when the tag reconnects to the phone (it is a beepbeepBEEP sound). Basically, my wife keeps her tag on her keys in her purse and has her phone on her desk at work, or in another room at home, the tag is just far enough to constantly connect/disconnect.  I've reproduced reliably by leaving the phone in one room, taking the tag in another, waiting a few minutes, then coming back.  As soon as the tag is within a few feet of the phone, beepbeepBEEP!
My question is, is this reconnect noise by design and if so, WHAT WAS NOKIA THINKING??? It is beyond irritating.  We've only had the tag for about 5 days and already it's driving us both crazy.  If it's by design, is there any way to silence it permanently???

  • Treasure TAG

    I Purchased a Treasure Tag, installed the app. and it all works great!. I could not find a place to post a comment for the app or tag.
    I do have a couple of ideas to pass on, in case your interested.
    1. the next tag creates a notification.. great! but I would rather have an alarm!  Could it be possible to choose either a notification or an alarm, or create a notification which act like an alarm (repeats every minute, or so, with its own special alarm, possibly a voice warning)  the item I am taging is important to keep with me.  I have already been notified several times of leaving this behind, but the notification can be easily ignored especially when several incomming notifcations hit at the same region of time.
    2. Could it be possible to program the app to notice when the signal gets weaker so as to notify or Alarm a little closer to the tag. I would think this could be a setting. to increase or decrease the bluetooth sensitivity( kind of like the bars in a service, or wireless, like set to go off at 3 bars etc..)
    The device works as expected and I am happy with it, but if these two updates could be done. I think it would be even better.  thanks 
    I would be happy to repost to a better forum. just let me know..smileyhappy:

  • Having problems integrating the Treasure Tag WS-2 ...

    Hi,
        I am attempting to integrate Treasure Tag WS-2 into my mobile application and cannot find information on GATT Service (90008800-0000-1000-8000-0002ee000001) and its characteristics.  I believe this service is associated with multi-function key, etc...  Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?
    Regards,

    I experienced a similar thing. But in my scenario I had two Lumia 920. The tag connects with the first Lumia, but the sensor cannot be found on my second Lumia phone.
    I did some experimentation with my two 920s. Below are my findings:
    It seems like if the tag is connected to one phone, or if the tag thinks its connected to a phone, it will not connect to another phone until it has said properly goodbye to the first phone. In order for the tag and Phone to break up:
    1) On the first phone: select "Remove sensor" in the Treasure Tag app. The app might start searching for a tag.
    2) To prevent the phone from hooking up with the tag again, hit the windows button and go into settings and disable bluetooth.
    3) Afterwards press the button on the tag for a sec. In this way the tag knows for sure that the connection with the first phone is over for good.
    4) On the second phone perform a seach
    5) If the second phone doesn't find the tag you could try to hold down the "back button" on the phone for a couple of seconds and close the Treasure Tag app. I am not sure, but assuming that if you performed a seach on the second phone while the tag was hooked up with the first phone, the app might add the tag to an ignore list in memory.
    6) Afterwards perform a search again.
    In step #1 you could be tempted to just turn off the bluetooth on the first phone and leave out the disconnect from in the app, but in my testing that didnt work. Without a proper goodbuy the tag will have a hard time hooking up with another phone.
    Edit:
    Refitting the battery while holding down the button on the tag also solves the problem. Restore factory settings described here: http://www.nokia.com/us-en/support/product/ws-2/userguidance/?action=singleTopic&topic=GUID-34393F1F...

  • Nokia Treasure tag app crashes

    I have paired my tag to my 1020, the phone app has completely gone bonkers and I can't press the "disconnect" button in the app.  The app just crashes, I've even tried uninstalling / re-installing the app, unpairing / repairing the tag in bluetooth settings.  The only thing I haven't tried is using "Nokia Software Recovery Tool" to fully reset my windows phone.
    I'm assuming that the treasure tag is no longer advertising as public, and also assuming that if I could press the "disconnect" button in the app that the tag would advertise as public.
    My problem: ** I want to pair the Treasure Tag with an iPhone (my wife's - I'm not getting rid of the 1020) ** but it is not advertising as public, the iPhone doesn't see it.
    My Question:  Is there a way to reset the treasure tag so that it will start advertising again so I can use it with another device???  Or is there a way to make the Treasure Tag app for windows phone work again?
    Also note that without the WP app the tag is 90% useless - I can't make the tag make a sound because the app just crashes.

  • Silence Treasure Tag when Bluetooth connection is ...

    Hello
    I use my Treasure Tags only to find stuff that I've lost. I do not want to be notified when the connection is either lost or reestablised between the tags and my phone. If I leave my car keys with a tag (WS-2) attached to it downstairs on the counter and bring my phone upstairs they are just at the boundary of being able to make a connection. The result is that the tag sits on the counter either chriping that it was able to connect or has lost connection, all night long. Very irritating. I know I can manually disconnect the tags from the phone, but that is a hassle. I just want to silence the tag. If I want to find my keys I, of course, want to be able to play the tag from my phone.
    Any ideas?

  • Why does Photoshop CC beeps incessantly when I do pretty much anything? (Video example included)

    Hello everyone,
    Photoshop CC has recently started beeping whenever I do pretty much anything. Here is a video of the beeping in action.
    http://www.screenr.com/3h5H
    The beeping happens when I do any of the following things:
    Increase canvas size
    Opened a new document
    Transfering an image from one document to another
    Duplicate layers
    Undo an action
    This is just what I'm pulling off the top of my head.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Still doing it?  I should have ran your video, so sorry for that.  That sort of beeping is mostly likely hardware related, and coming from the BIOS.  It is also a warning! 
    First thing I would do is install Speccy
    http://www.piriform.com/speccy
    ...and have a very close look at system temperatures.  It might be that a fan has failed, or is clogged with dust, or you are using a laptop sat on a soft surface blocking the vents?
    Or it might be memory, like a loose or failing RAM stick.  There various free downloads that will test your memory.
    Or it might be none of the above, but they are too serious not to look at ams hopefully eliminate.
    OK.  Does this only happen in Photoshop?  If so, what is unique to Photoshop?  A graphics tablet for instance?

  • Lumia 630 and treasure tag problem

    Hello,
    I justa purchased a tresure tag WS-2 and connected it to my Nokia Lumia 630.
    Bluetooth on my phone is on. I can setup the tag (i.e. name it).
    Software seams not to work properly.
    When i get away from the tag, the tag makes the sound, but my phone doesnt make any sound nor any written notification. Also there is no option to locate the tag in the Here map.
    Any suggestions or similar problems?
    Thanks in advance
    Solved!

    Did whatever you suggested but yet nothing.
    Option show in map does not appear at all.
    All notifications are set "on"
    Do you think my location may be an issue?
    I am in Greece and the phone is set in greek.
    Edit: Demonstration works fine. Both tag and phone make the noise

  • Treasure

    I would like to know what rocket scientist decided that the treasure tag app would work on lumia phones, iphones and android phones, but would not work on any of the other windows 8.1 phones out there.  I thought Microsoft was different from apple,
    but it appears they are not.  If you don't buy one of our phones, you can't use our apps.

  • Annoying incessent beeps in videos / won't charge when connected to CPU

    First of all my battery couldnt hold a charge within 2 months of buying my 5G Ipod, so I sent it in and got a new one. The new one has a couple of problems, one of which the old one had as well.
    The one thing both iPods have not been able to do is charge when connected to the computer. They can connect fine, but if my battery is dead or low, it won't connect and I have to recharge it on my charger before connecting it to the comp. My old 4thG (Which died right after warantee expired) was able to charge on my comp.
    However my major issue is that my video's have loud and annoying beeping sounds throughout when I play them. I've done the 5 R's(many times), it does it for downloaded files as well as some official apple ones that someone suggested. It does not beep when TV-Out is selected but does start beeping as soon as I try to view it from the player. It does it to ALL my videos, ones that worked fine for my previous 5G. Audio files work fine.
    iPods have given me nothing but trouble as this is my 3rd one.

    The USB mouse and printer do not draw any current from the USB port, so there's no info there. As you've stated, since your USB HDD uses an external power, that's not helpful either. I'm out of suggestions except you can see if someone else has a USB-iPod connector to try on your MacBook. BTW, if your IPT has a volume control on the left side, it's a G2.

  • How do you add a voice tag to a contact

    how do you add a voice tag to a contact i phone5

    You don't need to add any sort of tags to call by voice. It's built into the system. Go to Settings>General>Siri and make sure it's set to On.
    To use Siri, press and hold the Home button. When the microphone icon pops up and there is a beep, say, "Call <name from your contacts>"
    Consult the manual for more information on Siri.

  • 3 beeps from comp. itunes won't read

    I plug my 3rd gen. ipod into my Windows XP after not using it for a couple of weeks, I then hear three quick, low beeps from the computer. Then I decide to wait a while and nothing happens, itunes won't pop up. I click on the little USB icon on the bottom right corner and it says that there is an ipod that's plugged in. But, itunes itself won't detect it. PLEASE HELP

    I am also having the same problem with about 200 of my MP3s. The tag info shows up perfectly using QuickLook on Leopard, but in iTunes I can't see any of the info. I have tried converting the ID3 tag version, revesing the unicode....nothing.
    Have you had any luck?

  • N70 voice tags

    can someone please tell me why nokia has dropped self recorded voice tags for phoneing people and opted for a robot that speaks my contacts names in an alien language? i always end up phoneing people that i'm not intending to..... also is there any way of getting rid of it and recording my own or not?

    Hi kosik
    Firstly, it isn't possible in N70 to record your own voice tags. For each of your contacts a name is synthesised automatically and compared with your voice when you do voice dialling.
    When you use voice dialling, the phone adapts to your voice. This adaptation can be reset (or turned off completely). Go to Voice Com (usually in Tools folder), and select Options; Settings; Remove my adapts.
    To invoke voice dialling, long-press the right softkey, wait until the beep and the display shows "speak now". It's best to wait a second or two even after that. Then say the name of the contact.
    If the phone gets a match, it will dial. Otherwise it will show the best match and list other options on the left softkey (Next).
    Hope this helps.
    I tried the above, but when he talks back he still sounds like a beaten up person.
    And worse, whatever i tell him, he keeps coming up with the wrong things. I have a feeling this whole dialing thing is based on US english and cannot handle any other languages (i tried english pronounciation and that fixed a few numbers, but 80% still doesn't work)
    How do i fix this? if it is not possible i will have to hand it back to my boss and ask him for something else as this is not usable while driving.Message Edited by ajak on 12-Apr-2007 08:03 PM

  • N5010 - 8 beeps. Screen won't turn on

    Hello.
    I've had my N5010 for almost 3 years now, and lately I've come across some problems, which peaked with the last one - dead monitor apparntly.
    It started with overheating problems sometime ago, then 2-3 weeks ago whenever I turned on the laptop it wouln't boot or show anything, meaning it would turn on, the lights were on but there were no beeps of signs of boot or any display (well, screen backlight was actually going on but it was still dark), What I did whenever that happend was letting the battery dry out and then would plug it to the power supply and turn it on, usually worked.
    Then, about a week ago, it stopped working all together - whenever I turn it on, the screen stays black and after a few seconds the laptop starts to beep 8 times over and over again until I shut it down. I've read online that 8 beeps means there's a problem with my screen or something like that.
    I've tried connecting it to an external monitor yesterday and it does work.
    What are my options? My warranty runs out in about 2-3 weeks - thing is, my keyboard broke couple of months ago and I replaced it at my own expanse in a private shop - does it void the warranty? and does the warranty covers this at all? I just don't want to send it all the way to the lab when there's a possibility they won't even fix it either because warranty doesn't cover it or because warranty was voided... 
    Thanks in advanced! :)

    Hi Moish,
    Please send me a private message with the computer's service tag, Name registered during the system purchase and email address so that I can check system configuration and provide you the driver available. To send a private message, click on my name and send private message.
    Also, The warranty will not be void for the system but there would be no warranty for the replaced keyboard.

  • How can I turn off tagging?

    I would like to turn off Tags in Mavericks.  It breaks the workflow I got used to and loved in Mac.  For instance, when I get a file in mail, I used to click once and the file would be in my download folders where I can open it and only if worth keeping I would add labels and place in certain folders.  Right now, instead of a single click to download a file, Mac wants me to tell them everything about a file I have not even open.  It is really counter productive.  To make matters worse, it makes finder much slower.  I have the top of the line Macbook pro 15 but the laptop seems to struggle opening folders and showing them in Finder.  My mac was super fast in Mountain Lion, Lion, Etc..
    Please tell me there is a way to turn this off...
    thanks/J

        I appreciate your concern! This feature is unable to be removed. The only way an incoming caller would not hear this particular beep is if a ringback tone is active on the line.
