Hi All,
I have been searching this forum but cannot find any threads with this issue.
Before i do a hard reset I want to check with other users if you have this issue and there is a fix.
My HTC Desire works fine during the day (most of the time). I put my phone on AC charge overnight and then the next day I first notice the No Sound issue is when my Alarm goes off (Snooze on Screen\Slide to Dismss etc) but there is no sound. The sounds a default tones and not custom MP3.
If I check all other sounds (ringtone, email\SMS notications etc) nothing plays so it is not just a silly alarm sound issue as other forums have experienced with manual Alarm sound turned off etc. All Volumes are set full.
The only way I can fix the issue is with a reboot which then fixes all the sounds during the day until i put my phone on AC charge overnight for the issue to repeat (and again not get woken up) which i need to do do to charge the battery and ensure I have enough charge for the next day.
I have been searching this and other forums all week but cannot find a fix for this issue.
I don't recall exactly when this issue started but it was around the time i updated to 2.1. I did have Task Managers (including all ignores for the clock) but these have been removed.
So I am thinking of doing a hard reset but before i do, if you have this issue and know of a fix then please help...
Thanks
Lee - and be nice if there is another thread already for this :--)
Can we put together a list of known issues with this phone for those of us who are thinking of switching so we can see everything in one place instead of having to sort through all the mess to find the issues and resolutions. Thanks
This list is just a copy and paste of the main points listed in the first 5 pages so far to save you some reading. Its just a summary, nothing more.
- vertical lines on some models with specific box date
- dead red pixel on some models
- some models has odd camera flash light, when powering off
- occasional errors when playing media on the sd card
- battery has stayed stuck at "100%"
- WiFi settings shows connected to the correct network but keeps scanning (Power saving mode problem.)
- lock screen locks up me sometimes
- wouldn't stay powered down while charging
- it takes quiet some time to charge up
- it's always warm even when not it use, but it gets super hot when charging
- screen lock bug
- take a pic, then tap the gallery button in the camera app, share to facebook, will not upload, says cannot locate pic. go to regular gallery, upload pic same way and it works fine.
- issue with the display staying on
- games freezing up and crashing after about 5- 10 mins of game play

Same here, rebooted on its own after about 2 days of up time. No other issues besides that.
so, off all the stuff i've read in the forum thus far:
the list is something like this:
- vertical lines on some models with specific box date
- dead red pixel on some models
- some models has odd camera flash light, when powering off
lags and some apps performance, or network speed stuff doesn't count
anything else missing?
minor heads up
lets keep this topic only for confirmed issues.
One thing to add- occasional errors when playing media on the sd card. I'm having a hell of a time with Doggcatcher & some music players saying that the media cannot be read.

that's a good one
and it sounds very familiar, back in the SGS1 days, there was similar problem.
using another media player should avoid that problem

Yeah it works fine with PlayerPro, but I'm still trying to find another podcatcher that I like. I'm kinda pissed that I paid almost $7 for Doggcatcher & now it barely works >:|
So far my only issue is that the battery has stayed stuck at "100%" twice now (only had the phone for a week obviously). Both times it was in the morning after the phone had charged all night, and then I take it with me for school/work. I used it for a few hours at school and it stayed at a 100% so I took it by T-mobile and they hadn't seen that before.
They did the same thing I did which was remove the battery and restart the phone. After that it read correctly (around 76% or something). Still I don't want to have to pull my battery every day after it gets a full charge. I'm going to see what it does tomorrow in the morning and go from there....anyone else have this issue?
please report that bug directly to samsung on the stickied link

I can understand that the most embarrassing thing to do in public is a battery pull. I haven't done a battery pull since my blackberry days

Haha yeah I can deal with it from time to time maybe, but I don't wanna be doing every freaking morning haha
I also have the 100% battery bug. I don't have to pull the battery though, just doing a reset by power off/on works to clear it. It *is* kind of annoying though...
I have seen this as well. It happened the last two mornings after charging overnight.
I have same issue. keep showing 100% battery indicator.
Wow lots of people having isSue wiTh the 100% battery thing hopefully that getS sorteD soon.
Edit: I HATE typing on this freaking iPad sometimes!
I saw the battery stuck at 100% as well on mine. Another thing i noticed that i have the WiFi ON all the time. So while i'm in office it is connected to the WiFi and the phone sits in my pocket for about an hour or more before i actually use it (using another phone at work), so after i wanna use it and it shows the WiFi connected symbol but no connection. Go to WiFi settings and shows connected to the correct network but keeps scanning. Turn Off WiFi and turn it back ON and its running again. Although i did not noticed this issue at home. Is it that at home my phone is always on table and not in my pocket....is it something to do with my my pocket
Power saving mode problem. When activated, it turns off gps, wifi, blue tooth etc.. (Whatever you choose) at specified battery level. However, when power is recharged past the set power saving mode point it doesn't turn these features back on. So annoying.
So when fully recharged, you have to go back and manually re-enable your gps, wifi, screen brightness etc..
This seems like a software issue, do the other brand gs2's have this problem?
**Also have the 100% battery bug.
My Galaxy S II wouldn't stay powered down while charging. Everytime I turned the device off while charging it would automatically power back on. I honestly wasn't sure if that was simply the way the phone was designed (which would be odd), but sure enough at the T-Mobile store today we opened up a brand new Galaxy to see if it would remain 'off' while charging. Sure enough, it could.
Long story short, I have the 100% battery malfunction, and an "unable to charge turned off" issue. Swapping out phones at T-mobile as we speak Another GSII btw, even with these annoying issues its a great phone. I think (hope) I just got a lemon?
My gnex has a strange problem.
Every once in a while it goes into a loop where the following happens:
Screen turns on and display says the phone is charging even though I am nowhere near a charger or cable.
The screen stays on for 30 seconds (until timeout) and the immediately turns on again.
It can drain the battery in a few hours when this happens, and there's nothing I can do to make it stop. Not even a reboot helps.
After charging, the phone goes back to acting normal.
There's no obvious pattern in battery level, running apps, or anything else I could find. It doesn't even happen in every charge cycle.
I have tried flashing another ROM, flashing another kernel, killing apps and processes, removing apps, going to flightmode and a lot of other things. Nothing helps.
Does anyone have an idea what's happening?
Has anyone else experienced this?
There was another user posting with this problem.
Then another two who came to his aid (kind of) saying that they had the problem before as well...and eventually had to turn their phones in for refurbs.
I can't seem to find the thread, but I do swear to the validity of my statements.
I've got the One X for about a month now, but I keep getting this issue now and then, and it's really really annoying.
It always happens in morning, and I only notice it when my low-battery signal goes off (this morning at 10:00 already). The phone feels very warm, and it's already depleted to 10%. When checking battery usage, it says "Mediaserver" used 85% of the energy!
Now this morning, I didn't play any music or watch any photo or video. On the tram to work, I only used a coupe apps (Engadget, Tweakers, Nu.nl (news site), "volvo ocean race game", autoblog.nl and a soccer app (voetbal international)). But I've used these same sites on my Desire and never had a problem with them.
It's a really annoying problem, and I don't seem to be able to turn of "mediaserver" untill my battery dies before lunch! I don't have a desk job (doctor in hospital) so I don't have any means to recharge during the day...
Now this doesn't happen every day, but 4 times already (that's once every week!).
Please help!
i have had it once, seems it gets locked in with you play sounds. have you tried a factory reset might help.
Try clearing data of all media applications (gallery, music etc...).
I guess your media index got corrupted, this happened to me before and this is how I solved it. I actually saw the reason in logs.
Install OS Monitor from the market and take a look at the logs of mediaserver
No haven't tried a factory reset, wish it wouldn't have to come to that. But a normal reset did solve the problem sometimes. And I haven't played any sounds this morning, however only when muting the phone with the volume rockers i do get a sounds...
This is a bit weird.
I downloaded better battery stats and noticed in this that bluetooth had been on for 28 hours. this wasnt reported in the standard power useage part of the phone though. I turned it off and on and then it came up on the phone saying bluetooth 3% power usage. Bluetooth has never been on on my phone.
I then decided to do a reboot and this looks to have cleared it up. This is my third Hox and on each one i have noticed that BT sometimes turns it self on. Anyone else had this issue? wondering if this is part of the battery drain issue?

yes, i do get that too. say, i switch on my bluetooth for internet tethering and after using, i will switch off the bluetooth in my settings. however, when i went to check betterbatterystats or power (in settings), the bluetooth remained on. to get rid of it, you just need to restart your phone.
but, i believe this problem is not widespread at all.
Good to know at least someone else has it. I remember it happening on my first Hox as well.
