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 :--)

I love my desire, but have to problems. the first is the battery live. This is my own fault because I can't stop playing with it.
The second problem is that I always charge my phone over night and that when I wake up I don;t have any sound. So I need to reboot. I find this really annoying.
Is there a solution to this problem, because I can't find it anywhere.
this morning all of my alarms failed to go off for some reason. i'm very lazy / a heavy sleeper so it's a miracle that i woke up at all.
the only thing that i can think of is that the phone was being charged / in a dock this morning - does anyone know of any settings that would stop the alarm from sounding when the phone is being charged ?
Two questions:
1. Was the phone switched off? If so, the alarms won't ring.
2. Do you use a task killer? If so, killing the clock will stop alarms from ringing.
Regards,
Dave
hey dave,
[hangs head in shame]
now that you mention it, i DO have a task killer that i rarely use EXCEPT for last night. for some reason i think i was mucking about before i went to bed and i killed the clock to see what would happen. sense crashed and restarted and i thought nothing more about it ...
mystery solved (hopefully) - thanks !
That sounds like it would be the cause! Didn't over sleep for anything important then!
wanna trade your phone for my HD2?
I flash CM7 nightlies a couple of times per week. Every now and then this random issue pops up and I'm not sure why. I was initially turned off by CM7, MIUI & Salvage Mod because of this.
It happened last night while I was asleep and charging my phone. It goes off at midnight when the battery full notification usually goes off. Normally it is with a beep but this time it was some silly rock song that looped over and over. The only way I've found to shut it off was to reboot the phone (and more recently by using Fast Reboot)
Is there some setting that I'm not aware of or is this a glitch?
Any apps that do this?
Also, I've searched for this issue and can't find the solution or am not using the best language to do so.
I found the culprit. It was the Battery Monitor Widget app. Not sure why it started looping on it's own, but I changed the notification back to what it was.
This all started yesterday morning. I had my alarm set, woke up later than I needed to with a notification on the phone that said Alarm Turned Off After 10 Minutes, telling me the alarm had gone off for 10 minutes and was automatically turned off.
I thought it was weird so I did some digging and it turned out that NONE of my sounds were working. The volume was up, silent mode was off, but I was getting nothing whatsoever from the phone speaker. Even speaker phone wasn't working. Headphones worked fine. It seemed my speaker had blown.
Well, later in the day (as I was preparing to take it back to Verizon) it just randomly starts working again. All sounds now seem fine.
So I set my alarm this morning. And this time, it didn't even go off, at all! I woke up 5 minutes after it was supposed to go off, and when I unlocked my phone, THEN the alarm started going off. It's almost like it isn't coming our of deep sleep to sound the alarm.
Are these two issues related; the sound issue yesterday and the alarm issues both days? Has anyone else experienced this? It seems to be random...sometimes I can replicate it, other times I cannot.
There's another thread about this somewhere...try a search for "alarm". It's happened to me often enough that I can't rely on my Gnex as an alarm clock...I have to use my old SGS instead. I've also had loss of sound occasionally, but a reboot always fixes it.
Wish someone would figure out a solution, it's pretty annoying to have a bug like this in the alarm. Even the cheapest, crappiest dumbphone you can buy comes with a reliable alarm app, but my expensive smartphone does not? (and yes, I've tried other alarm apps besides the stock one...they all fail to go off intermittently.)

Thanks for the input. I use my alarm daily and this is the first time I've had this issue.
As an aside (but perhaps related issue?), my gmail app has uninstalled itself and I can't get it reinstalled. Looks like it's time for a reflash.

Yes I would reflash before you miss a flight or the interview to your dream job!
One thing I miss about my old blackberry is the alarm. Put it in the cradle and the time would dim, all notifications would turn off and the alarm would fire every time, every when the battery had been drained and switched off. Pity everything else sucked...
I've yet to have a problem.
Maybe you're getting SOD's (or close-to) in the middle of the night and the phone is having trouble waking itself up?
Try adjusting your governor and turn your undervolts up if they're enabled.
I am, however, fairly OCD about my alarms...
I reboot my phone before opening the alarm app and ONLY the alarm app...
Make sure the alarm is enabled...
And turn the screen off.
I've done this since my OGDroid days.
I also have the trusty DX as a backup...set 10 minutes later; just in case.
im hoping im not the only one who has this problem. i get a notification sound sometimes three times an hour sometimes once an hour. no notifications are there and ive changed every app sound to something else so theres no chance its one of those. is there any way to fix this if someone has experienced it as well. i read one guy factory reset and it didnt help. thanks
Sometimes it's a lot of things, could be plugging in your charge ( Sometimes people use a different notification sound for charger plug-in ), could be a rogue app, uninstall specific apps that have notification sounds, ei, messaging, social media, weather, et cetera.
Could be the phone is roaming for a very short period. That would be my bet considering the random and varying intervals.
