Sound mutes after 1 day, only soft-reset solves this

I have a problem that more people seem to have, according to the search. I couldn’t find the “audio” tab in my Bluetooth-settings, so that didn’t help me.
The problem is as follows. After 1 day the sound on my compact III mutes, including vibration. Sometimes it's after 12 hours, sometimes after 2 days, there's no distinct pattern to be recognized. Also, it doesn't seem to matter if you use the phone or not, since it sometimes is alright at night and the sound is muted the next morning. This is for all sound-events (warnings, incoming call notifications, messages, mp3 etc), however, you can make a call without any problems and hear what the other person is saying. Once you’ve hard-reset the device everything is back to normal.
It does get annoying however, since I regularly miss calls due to this bug.
I had the same problem on my Vario in the past. So I’m guessing it’s somewhere in the software I use, but apart from Total Commander and TomTom6 I haven’t installed any third-party apps.

Yup i've been having a slight problem with the sound. I thought it was like the endless knackered M500's that orange used to send me which had speaker failure after about 10minuites! (Swear they kept sending me the same 2 faulty phones - I had 5 in 5 days once!) But a play in the bluetooth seems to get it working again.
The other annoying thing is that if you leave the power management at the default settings then occasionally the screen blanks without being able to get the backlight on again - so now I have to manually turn of the screen. Stil aint much of a problem - ive had a normal days use, 2 hours of radio play, bluetooth and wi-fi on all day and still have 35% battery - wehay!
Hopefully there'll be a patch soon to sort out he glitches.

I forgot to mention I had the exact same problem on my mda Vario also. I always thought it was a problem with that specific piece, but apparantly not.
Could it be the vibrate.cab that I'm using to produce vibrations when you use the phonepad? Or should I really do some further research in the bluetooth-department?

Same problem here.
Phone becomes completely silent after 9 hours in standby mode.
I need to reset it to get back sound
Does someone know what is going on here ?
Please advise. Thank you.

I seem to experience no problems the past couple of days (fingers crossed). I used the 'speed up your WM5' tweak where you set the Glyphcache to 32768. After I reduced it to 16something the problems seem to have disappeared.

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.

Not getting audio or vibrating notifications when screen is turned off

For some reason, I'm not getting notifications of text messages when my screen is turned off. Neither the actual audio or the vibrating. It's sporadic; sometimes it works just fine. But it's becoming a problem. I have xdaShutdown, but I'd hate to have to use that every time. I haven't even tried it to find if it makes any difference because it's just not a good solution. Does anybody have any idea how to fix this? I'm going to go ahead and email HTC, but I don't have much hope for that.
Thanks,
Andrew

My Desire is Possessed!

Twice today, my phone has just started playing music on its own... its not a ringtone or an alarm, there is nothing displayed in the notification area, I don't have a music widget on my homepage, and I can't stop it, just turn it down. Both occasions I've had to remove the battery to stop it...
Any clue what its playing at?
P.

Somethibg similar happened to me. Once when phone was ringing I couldnt answer nor I could stop it from ringing, the only way was to remove battery, and the other time I couldnt stop the alarm.

have you tried soft/hard reset?

Not sure how you soft reset?
I'm one of the many that has a phone that won't shutdown, so I can't just switch it off and on again if that is what you mean?
Hard reset may be worth the pain in the longer run I guess, but I'm rarely in the position to have enough time to restore all my contacts, apps etc. Maybe I'll find a day over the bank holiday weekend to reset and reinstall everything, few people seem to suggest that has cured the shutdown issue for them too.
The music was a song, girl singing... not just a ringtone or notification noise, the only music stored on the device is whatever HTC put on it, was just in my pocket first time it happened, 2nd time on table

yeh thats what i meant i had some issues with syncing contacts with google acc and switching phone off and back on solved it,
and how can you tell your phone doesnt switch off? mine with many apps takes a good while about 5 minutes to turn off lol, have you tried waiting that long?

Yes, if I switch off when I go to bed it is still shutting down the following morning, so like 8 hours later... I've not waited longer than that as I usually need the phone again by then! Whatever, it makes it impractical as an off/on fix to any problems. There are a couple of threads regarding this issue but none of the suggested fixes have any effect for me. Perhaps hard reset is the answer.

Mine reset itself in the middle of the night the other day! :|

If I were you I'd have a word with the local priest and watch the exorcist. If your phone starts spewing pea soup and swearing at you.... PANIC

lol thanks... think it needs the reset... its stopped indicating usb status in the notification area now too

[Q] Clicking Droid Incredible

So my Incredible just recently and randomly started to make a clicking noise. It happens when the screen is on at 1 second intervals and for a while after the screen is turned off as well. It's not a software sound but a sound from inside the phone. Its an amoled version running CM7 and other various customizations. I was wondering if anybody has ever had this happen and if it is something I should be worried about? Also, I'd like to know the cause and how I can stop it from happening.

Does your phone still vibrate? If it doesn't it might be the mechanism inside.

It does vibrate as normal. Everything works just as before but I'm curious to know what it could be.

has it ever gotten wet? maybe something fell inside the the phone and is now shorting it. do you have insurance?
maybe take it apart and see if there is anything floating around.

No, its never gotten wet. It doesn't sound like something is rattling inside. I could be wrong but I think its got something to do with overclocking it. When I turn on the screen it instantly starts clicking sometimes fast but moslty at 1 second intervals. When I shut the screen off it usually stops instantly. Sometimes it clicks for a short while afterwards. The sound is like a clock ticking. Unfortunately I don't have insurance.

I had a computer that did that exact same thing. Windoze machine, actually. Some BS process was running in the background that kept doing something that used that sound effect. Is it like the sound used when you have audio feed back turn on for the keyboard? I definitely think it's a software issue, not hardware, so it's probably fixable in some way.

Is it the same clicking noise like when you open up an app that uses your camera? I know whenever I open up the camera, bar code scanner, etc I hear a clicking noise. Not sure if some app keeps trying to access the camera and maybe that is where it is coming from?

I bet its the camera being used for some background app.

Is it the same quiet click from the camera you hear when the phone boots up?

The clicking stopped yesterday just as randomly as it started. It didn't sound like the sound the camera makes when started. It actually sounded like a clock ticking. Its very odd.

I had that happen on my evo. Soneone mentioned that it was an app that was bugging and it was causing the touch panel in the lcd to think it was being touched. But android wasn't handling it properly so it caused a ticking noise to come from my speaker. I just wiped and reinstalled my rom and it went away.

Interesting. The sound didn't seem to come from the speaker in my Incredible but I can't be 100% sure. I haven't uninstalled any apps nor did I download any new ones before the sound started. Very strange stuff lol. Althought its since stopped, I'd still like to know what it was. I'm sure it was an app but.I don't have a clue as to which one.

as long as its not damaging the phone its fine

The phone seems to be perfectly fine thankfully. Guess I'll never know what it was. Oh well... thanks to everyone for the input.

Rhodium400 in-call problems with hearing either side (proximity sensor?)

I know the proximity sensor is not functional with the Rhodium400. My wife and I are both running the newest version FRX 7.1 on the .27 kernel.
She had issues with Windows Mobile getting a data connection, and it would carry over to Android. So I dd a hard reset on Windows Mobile and started her Android from scratch (as it was having other slowness and issues also). Ever since then she tells me (and I have heard this in call) that every time she puts her cheek or face to the phone it will sound as if the call dropped but it doesn't drop really. She can't hear me and I can't hear her, but as soon as she takes her head away she and I can both hear again. This doesn't happen all the time, and is likely only happening when XDAndroid has not been rebooted in a few days.
I have not been able to confirm it by sitting right beside her and calling and confirming the problem, but I plan to do so tonight. At first I thought she was just muting me because she was ticked at me...don't ask , but she isn't smart enough to come up with something like this, because technically it sounds like the proximity sensor is mucking up the phone call which I thought was not possible from everything I have read. I even had her turn the power button off at the top to turn the screen off, to make sure she wasn't bumping any buttons. The way it looks, it almost sounds as if the phone is inadvertently trying to place another phone call and putting the first phone call on hold.
Has anyone else had this issue? Doe anyone think this is likely a proximity sensor issue, or have any advice for when I get home tonight and start playing with the phone?
Supposedly also this issue was going on with her in the car and the phone plugged into a car charger. She called me back with it not on the charger and it is not messing up anymore. I don't know if it is coincidence or not, since it wasn't always doing it to begin with.

Never heard of this, almost sounds like a hardware failure.
Run WinMo for a few days, see if you can recreate the problem there. If so, there's something going haywire with the physical hardware.

I get a situation kind of like this in Android, but not WinMo. Basically if I recieve a call it's about a 50/50 chance that this happens. I can't hear them and they can't hear me. There is no sound at all, like the speaker and mic don't even turn on. However, mine doesn't seem to have anything to do with the proximity sensor as it does it as soon as I hit the answer button and moving the phone away doesn't fix it. Also, it's only when recieving calls, outgoing calls work all the time.

I've had similar problems, but quite a bit in the past, making me think mine was software or settings. So don't discouraged!
My thinking is, since auto-mute to rear speaker/mic system is a 'feature', that maybe that system gets triggered. Check those settings, and that level/bubble calibration stuff.
