No sound after hours in standby mode

My Wizard becomes completely silent after 9 hours in standby mode.
I need to reset it to get back sound.
No rings either when someone is calling me.
Does someone know what is going on here ?
Please advise. Thank you.

Did anyone else notice this too on their Wizard ?

Ok the first thing to do is, think to yourself have i put any software on my PDA since this started happening!
Then if so try taking it off and see if that software effects the PDA

I have the same issue. No idea what causes it. I just reset because I'm too lazy to find the solution.

This is a real pain in the neck.
Yes, this is a real problem.
I noticed that many people have this problem, but not many notice it.
They simple use their phone regulary or shut it off in the night,
and so they will not notice it.
I am still looking into it, but I noticed that it happens sometimes not always.
But its a pain in the neck as it needs to be always on.
I also have my GPRS always on for receiving email,
further I use Wisbar and SPB pocket plus.
So in the evening everything is ok, but in the morning I often do not get
any sound (no sound either from incoming calls) and need to reset.

I noticed that this problem happens when for example email is automatically checked during night. If email comes in (and is not read immediately) the phone will start notifying in background.
Notifications are kept and only a program like "check notifications" will delete them manually. But still if you delete them, the phone then needs a reset
to work properly again.
This is not a memory issue, it has to do with the notifications.
I do not know how to solve it.

I have this problem too. It's been driving me mad for ages and I have reached the point were I'm ready to ditch the phone. It can happen within a few hours of a soft reset, causing me to miss most calls! I hadn't added any new software in the period before the problem started.
Your thoughts that it may be due to receiving email message notifications without clearing them seems feasible. I changed jobs around the time I noticed this problem start. I often get lots of emails while I am unable to respond to the notifications so it seems a likely link. Previously, I always responded to mail promptly and I never noticed a problem.
I'm going to look into this idea by first turning off all notifications for email in the "sounds and notifications" tool in Settings. If this doesn't work, I'll try disabling automatic email checking.
I'll report back with my findings

As promised, an update to my earlier post.
It's been about a week since I tried my "tweak" to try and correct the loss of sound when in standby...
IT WORKED!!
Since I've disabled email notifications my phone has worked continuously without a single problem. I'm still automatically checking for new mail every 10 minutes, I just check the "message" item on the today screen every now and then to see if any mails have arrived rather than have the device notify me. Not ideal but better than not knowing when my phone rings!
If you want to try the workaround, go to settings and open "Sounds and notifications" on the personal tab.
Click on the notifications tab and select "Messaging: New e-mail message" from the drop down "Event" box. Uncheck all of the check boxes so that no notifications occur and you should be alright... unless it happends for some other notifications as well!
Good Luck.

HELP! Messages not showing...

Hey yesterday i noticed a major issue. I was sending quite a few texts and in turn receiving quite a lot back. However after receiving about the 1st four messages they no longer began show up and my tone didn't go off. The only reason i noticed that something wasn't right is because the screen lit up and when i went to inbox there sure enough was an unread message- even though the screen never displayed a new message!!!
Today I'm still experiencing the problem...along with an obviously related issue. Ocassionally when i click on messaging it simply won't open and i find myself soft resetting the phone or turning it off and back on.
Obviously this is a major problem for me!...Please help me! Everything else is fine!

Oh and sometimes the phone randomly wakes up :/

bump!
i got the EXACT same problem, it is so annoying..
it shows no number of unread messages at the enveloppe on the today screen, however when you go in the message boxes there clearly are some unread messages, both e-mails and text messages..
is there ANY way to fix this? it's so incredibily annoying!

Have any of you tried removing some old messages?
I know I had some trouble with messages opening slow, but when I deleted a bunch of messages (and emptied the "deleted" folder), it worked great.

tried that just now with no luck, works on no other panel either..

I deleted my messages too and also uninstalled xperiatweak as ive heard this can cause problems...i havent yet had a chance to check the progress but as for the messaging tab opening up i dont seem to get that issue anymore *touch wood*. I
have noticed however that i get the occassional overload of device.exe errors and i mean overload...once one pops up about at least another 5 do! Even if i press send report or don't send report...it happens. I end up pressing the panel key :/ There are some definate bugs that need sorting.

Actually still no luck with xperiatweak gone...i got quite a series of device.exe errors and then after they'd gone i went to click on messaging and once again nothing happened...nor would contacts show! i think i may need to hard reset the phone!

megh i'd hate having to do a hardreset, don't want to lose my installed appz and having to install plus configure them again >_<

ive just done a hard reset...which i agree is a pain! But wow i forgot how fast the xperia is...i think im going to keep which apps i install to minimum and only install what i need. Obviously the error has been picked up from somewhere... What apps did you previously install? Maybe we have something in common?

torch button, mplaylist manager, neoFTP, pocket scrobbler, remote touch, skype, total commander, xchange r8, youtube panel, google panel, windows live panel... oh yea and tomtom7..
probably some stuff i left out due to them already being uninstalled.. maybe they left some traces in register i dunno..

pardon my french but f*ck this, i just did a hard reset too, will install the english rom too.. stupid dutch windows mobile.. (i know it's not the languages fault but it's an ugly language )

After hard reset...it has just happened again. I then thought it might be vistahide battery as come to think of it it didnt happen before that...been sending testers after getting rid of vistahide and everythin else ok. But i only have the new panels installed...no other add-ons now! So god knows!

Still experiencing this problem from time to time...very annoying! Hard resetted twice and no luck as such. It really is very annoying as i often miss messages if i don't see the screen wake-up Please...anyone know a solution or have this issue? Thanks

Bump .

Anyone?....

"zoelucker
Oh and sometimes the phone randomly wakes up :/"
noticed it happens whenever my mobile got a full bar 3G receptions... what about you guys?

Yes ive noticed a random wake-up and ive thought 'oh that must be another message with no sound grrr' then i look in messaging and no message...so wasn't that and was jus a random wake-up.
It is really starting to irritate me now and today my alarm didn't sound when it's been fine since i've got it! I wondered if the problem was connected? Do you think the new update (well not officially released yet)...the new rom or whatever would solve the problem? Please any light on this...the messaging one is my main problem because I can just set another alarm clock but for messaging...its what a phone should be able to do. Thanks.

Seems like there are few people who are experiencing this problem.
I have the same problem as you all are. I've tried emptying the message but no luck.
If hardresetting doesnt work, then the problem doesnt related to any kind of software we installed?

yea i hard reset twice so i know it doesnt

Its driving me mad now! Its the only issue i have with it and its a real shame because i love my X1 otherwise. Do you think the new FW will solve my problem?
I was receiving messages fine 20 mins ago and then 5 mins ago i got a random screen wake-up but thought it was a message that hadn't come through properly so i tried to go into messaging but it wouldn't open up....i tried everything. clicked it so many times. changed panels. nothing. in the end i had to soft reset the phone :S

Weird Glitch in Kin Software

I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but a while back, I was playing around with my Kin Twom, putting in contacts and such, and I got a message, and deleted it straight without looking at it, but when I go to the home screen, it still says I have an unread message, and has been this way for about 2 or 3 weeks now. I haven't been able to find any information on why this happened or how to fix it, and this forum seems to be the best place to find info on Kin dev and such.
If you have any ideas that might fix this (without clearing the data preferably) then I give you my thanks in advance.

Sometimes i get a simular problem: text messages do not load. Ill click a conversation but just see an empty screen when I know i have messages. In this case i reboot the phone and it fixes it

I've rebooted it several times in the past few weeks I've had it, but it still says there is an unread message.

Thats odd
That sucks, man. Have your tried doing a soft reset? I think it requires a button combination but idk what it is since i never needed to do one.

Notifications are cut short / completely broken on some apps.

First time poster here, I recently bought a Galaxy S8 after I became tired of my iPhone and boy, do I love this phone. I have never had so much fun with a mobile device.
My phone is only a week old and was working perfectly until a couple of days ago - one evening, I was messaging a friend on Discord when suddenly the notifications started getting cut short and not showing up in the AOD/notification centre. My notification sound would only play for like a split second, the Discord logo would appear in the status bar for a split second, and then the sound would suddenly stop and the notification was not able to be found in my notification centre. Discord had not received an update, and I had not (knowingly) changed any settings, so I had no idea what had caused it.
Now, I get this with Google Allo as well. And Telegram. And my Twitter DM notifications have straight up stopped working, they don't even make a sound or appear for a split second. I have no idea what has caused this, I've tried reinstalling all of these apps, force stopping them, ensuring that they are not put to sleep in the device manager, etc...but nothing seems to be working. It seems to be getting worse and worse, as initially I only encountered this issue with Discord, but now it's with all of these apps - Snapchat, WhatsApp and Messages are now the only apps on which I receive notifications reliably (for now).
I posted a thread on the /r/galaxys8 subreddit discussing this and found that other users shared the same issue, and even found another thread posted by somebody having the same issues with Google Allo, but nobody has a solution. Is there anything that you guys can recommend? I'm willing to try anything, I'm just extremely hesitant to factory reset my phone as I've finally got it set up how I want it and I really don't want to have to start over.
Thanks!

Help explain stalking issues on Pixel 4

Hello all,
I'm guessing this is a long shot, but I know this group will be much more tech savvy than I am and can hopefully point me in the right direction.
I'm being electronically stalked on 2 Pixel 4 phones-- one is used for work, the other is personal. I'm at an absolute loss as to how it's happening. I've gone to the police and they said because it's Android, there are many ways it could be happening, but they can't find out how.
Here are some of the symptoms:
-when I unlock/wake the screen, apps will be open that I am not using, or menus I don't know how to access will be up, for example in Gmail
-phone overheats often/excessive battery drain
-sleeping phone will suddenly wake, background is gone and replaced with a black screen, date and unlock option still present, then it disappears
-stock phone dialer: tapping on the favorites/recents/contacts/voicemail buttons always causes a weird notification when I go from contacts to voicemail. One phone always shows a 'syncing voicemail' popup in the top tray; the other phone shows a missed call notification, and clearly I'm not missing any calls. It happens every time I move between screens.
-At times, recent calls screen shows a missed call. If I tap on it, it never unbolds-- always shows as new
-when phone is locked, using another phone's camera shows that the selfie cam is flashing red like it's in use... Maybe this is normal but it doesn't always happen so I'm not sure why?
-biggest issue is the Now Playing feature: it will show songs on screen and in the Now Playing history that have never been played in my environment. I've actually watched it happen where a song flashes up on the phone and nowhere around me is any song playing. The songs are creepy and yes, lyrically they're meaningful... At times they're love songs, other times threatening. I do know who is doing this, I just don't know how, and I've contacted Google support for help with this. They've provided steps to try to fix the Now Playing issue and nothing helps.
I have heard about malware apps being able to hide behind a partition? So when one phone began with these behaviors I bought another Pixel 4 and got a new email and phone number for it and did not share the number with anyone other than a trusted family member... And yet the stalker found it and is doing the same types of things. I have no idea how.
If anyone has any ideas... Beyond changing my Google password, setting up 2 step verification, or getting a new phone, all of which I've done... I'm looking to find a way to catch who is doing this. I've heard of cloning phones... Does it sounds like that's the issue and if so how would I know? There are a ton of other symptoms I can share... At times I can't place or receive calls or texts at all for hours... NFC appears to have been used... Weird menu overlay that look like fake menus pop up... Website access is restricted... I can go on and on.
Any thoughts on what to do to try to document this and catch who's doing it would be so very appreciated. Thanks in advance.
