This is driving me mad as I'm missing calls and messages, at least once or twice a day my ring tones and notifications stop working, if I go to sounds be notifications in settings and click to choose a ring tone they don't work they are all silent. I then have to restart the phone and they work fine until something triggers it, I can't suss it out, its nothing to do with do not disturb.
Any help is appreciated, thanks

This is one of the known bugs of this device... It doesn't effect everyone. Are you using the stock ring tones or your own?

It's not just you... But you have it more frequently than most, significantly more, it only happens to me once or twice a month and a reboot fixes it. I've just gotten in the habit of rebooting every week or two.
2-3 times per day makes me wonder if you have some other software conflict... Have you tried booting in safe mode and running for a day?

It's not done it at all since ???

ok so i set my alarm for 7:00am this morning and it just didnt go off...luckily my mum woke me up anyway but still its very unreliable...anyone else had this issue? maybe its linked to my sms message problem? thanks
the alarm on my X1i has been working flawlessly and waking me up every day at the specified time of 7am...i wish mine didn't work so i wouldn't have to wake up that early!
Be sure to have "Let Alarmsignal ring, even if the device is turned on silent or vibrate only" (i dont know what the official text is but im just losely translating from english.
You should find this option with the Clock and Alarmsignal settings under the Tab More.
Also i suggest setting 2 or 3 alarms.. maybe that will help.. ;P
Mine too, some times it simply doesn't go off (specially if more than one alarm are set).
i wake up before it has to anyway but it's still annoying!
and no, that option doesn't help at all, i tried it.
I'm using the free G-Alarm since October last year and it reliably woke me up every morning.
Maybe you want to try it: www.ageye.de
use G alarm

been using G alarm. no problem.
G Alarm has already failed me twice... helping me get late for work!
I really like it but if i have a real important apointment i use another cell phone with another alarm, i simply can't rely on any of the X1's alarm system alone...

Sorry to say that, but it seems to be your fault then.
G-Alarm works reliable and fine.
Just be sure the alarm is set active and at the right days and the ringtone is available and set to 100% volume.
Also let G-Alarm fix the Windows Mobile Alarm Bug and force to put the sound through the speaker even if the phone's set to silent or vibrate only.
Did you tell it to ring EVERY DAY? I forget this every "first" time on a new phone and the alarm dows not work. It only rings when you tell it to do.
I knew it wasn't just me!
Sometimes it will go off fine
Sometimes it will just vibrate and then do nothing else
Other times it won't go off at all
I can't seem to find a pattern to it, it just seems completely temperamental and is far to unreliable.
As for g-alarm that's far too annoying. It went off while my phone was on silent on a train. Had loads of puzzles and mazes and doesn't stop ringing until you have done them. I pulled out the battery, turned it back on and the alarm went off before the phone had even booted up!
sometimes this problem occurred for me with the custom roms being developed but with the original and the r2a roms I have not had an issue
yep, done all that and i have wm all fine tuned, and as i said, only failed twice over a month or so on a week day configuration with no changes made to it, but enough for me to not fully trust it anymore, be it problem with G Alarm or windows problem...

You can turn those snooze games off , it's just if you want it to really wake you up . Anyway G-Alarm works well for me so far. With the standard I had issuses, even on my older Magician. This one period it only sounded this ding sound repeatadly and refused to play the sound file which of course was in place. Weird stuff, but G-Alarm is awesome, it even allows you to set random MP3s from a playlist you set up. Waking up with a different DnB tune every day
Yes i have a feeling ill have the same issue as Elusivo...no alarm whether it be the standard or g-alarm will be 100% reliable on my X1. Glad i'm not alone but quite annoyed because that is one of my most important things...this along with text messages not always sounding or being displayed until messinging is opened up makes the phone a little difficult to love sometimes.
To me it seems everyone's X1 is slightly different....some have physical issues like cracking etc, whilst others have things that don't work as well as someone elses X1. I find it very strange. I guess these are my issues!

yes, exactelly
as far as i remember, i also faced this on my SE P910i, also same problem!
i barely sleep, and if the phone only vibrates i wake up, but mostly it doesnt!
i will try GAlarm, let's see.
+1 for G-alarm here.
I tried several different progs before settling with G.
I cannot think of an instance where it has let me down, without it being my own stupid fault.
As said before, you can switch off the mazes and puzzles, and just use it as a standard alarm, with/without snooze.
Best piece of freeware i have got, i think.
Why does WinMo standard alarm suck so badly?
Have MS forgotten to update it all this time?
Alarm
You have any idea how i can add in me xperia more alarm tone.?
I have never had any problems with the alarms. They are right on time.
i tried mine set for this morning. no problems yet. ill test it a whole week or so and see how it goes.
standard nam rom for my x1a.
I gave up on the built-in alarm and I've been using SPB Time which I'm very happy with!
When I receive a new SMS message the whole phone freezes for at least 5 seconds. I tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700495 but it did not work.

Just curious but do you have a sound file attached to SMS notifications ?
And if you do , one of the stock sounds or a custom one?
I do have a sound attached to SMS notifications, and its a stock sound. Can that cause the freezing of the phone when receiving a new message?

I have seen it when it is a custom sound, from the SD card ... but you know just to check maybe turn off the notifications and have a friend send you a message and see if it freezes without a sound attached ....

I'm having this same issue, its a real PITA
When I upgraded my radio to the 2.12 version from stock T-mobile radio, the problem became far less noticeable. I would say it's a non-issue on the new radio.

i had the same exact issue as the poster all the hotfixes i tried never worked the only thing that worked was flashing my rom. now theres no lag at all and im more than happy
Hi guys!
I seem to be the only guy with an Android phone in 2015 having problems with a substantial delay before my phone starts ringing when receiving a call.
I have an application that checks incoming phone numbers (that are not present in my Contacts) and displays a splash screen pretty immediately but the person making the call usually hears about 3-4 tones before my phone starts ringing. Does anyone know how to fix this problem because a lot of callers get the satisfaction of saying "you asleep?" constantly when calling me in the morning.
I have an unrooted i9505 running official Android 5.0.1
PS: The workaround to extend the time before it goes to voice mail is decent but I'd like to get this solved instead.
Many thanks and best regards,

That app is causing the delay.
Thanks for writing!
I tried uninstalling the app and experience no change, I'm afraid.

Thats strange. I haven't heard anyone about a similar issue, so I assumed it was because of that app.
I would then suggest backing up and performing a factory reset. I think that will be the easiest and the fastest method.

Yeah, the app causing the problem would have been almost too easy. I'll gather courage to perform a factory reset and let you know.
Thanks!

Back after a reset now (I really hate doing them)
The delay is still there though. It MIGHT have been a little better though, between the 2nd and 3rd signal my phone started ringing.
Anymore ideas?

Some more observations: any music player or etc seems to stop pretty much immediately when another person calls. Then there is a couple of seconds of silence before the phone shows the call and it starts ringing. It's like the phone knows it's getting a call but is having problems telling me about it...

You could try another modem and/or firmware. Other then that, I have no idea.

Do you have the same problem with another sim? Sometimes strange problems are due to sim card or sd cards. You can also try that.

Thanks for the tip. I could always try and remove my SD-card but I have no spare SIM-card to try with.

Hi,
Try to look into your build.prop if there is a value for ro.telephony.call_ring.delay
If yes, change value to 0
If not, add this line at the end of build.prop :
ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=0
Save and reboot.
Hello edzamber and thanks for the tip!
I added the line as it was nowhere to be found and rebooted.
Still 3-4 tones before my damn phone cares to start ringing...
I tried setting the value to 1 instead and now it seems to ring after 2-3 tones. Not sure if the build.prop-editing caused that, though...
It seems I solved this!
Not exactly which action of the following that did the trick but I went to Settings > More > Application Manager and cleared the Data for all three(!?) instances of the Dialer-app. In addition, I cleared the call log directly from within the Dialer-application (420 records).
Now my phone lights up pretty much instantly when I call it from another phone!
Since a couple of days I lost my notification sounds when I have a new mail (Yahoo), no sound when receiving anything via wattsapp, skype and FB messenger. A reboot brings the notification back just for a very short period (1 notification). Vibration works and pop msg on lockscreen is ok.
My device is fully stock - not rooted CM 12.1-YOG4PAS91G...
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Yves

Try to clear cache in recovery mode, then reboot device and test.

It started to work again without any additional action from my side...? Hope its stays this way!
And it stopped again...getting tired of this phone!
M too facing the same issue.

Hey m too facing the same issue , were you able to find a fix for it ? if yes please do let me know, now its irritating not to have notification sounds.
No, no solution as for now...a reboot brings back the notification sounds but only for a while. They stop at a certain point. It is sad to see that all the support for this phone has halted, since the last 6 months no more updates received and by the looks of it that will be it.
I unlocked my bootloader to flash a custom ROM. But since I've unlocked it the notification sounds are back. It's been more than a day and no problem till now.
Hello. I had a quick question, does anyone else get those vibrations with no notification at all. When my phone is on vibrate, it will vibrate with nothing in the status bar. I have no idea what's causing this. When it's not on silent I makes the notification sound, still no idea what's causing it. I checked notification settings, I don't have anything blocked. I can't figure out what's causing these ghost notifications. It's driving me nuts. Happens at least 15 times in a 24 hour period...

It has happened to me many times also? Are you on the beta? I am, and im also running greenify with adb permissions, i dont know if that has anything to do with it. I know its not the smart alert or whatever it is where when you pick up your phone if you have an unread message it will vibrate because there is never a message when it does it. The other night my wife literally thought i was hiding something because it happened so many times and there would be nothing on my phone like i hurried and erased it lmao!
