Hi
I've had a problem with Sony Xperia Z, Z1 and now the Z1 compact. The alarm clock is unreliable. Not the clock itself actually, every now and then (2-3 times a month) the sound just disappears. This means the alarm clock goes off, but no sound to wake you. When I check, there is no ring sound, sms sound until a reboot.
The only times this happens is during the night, never experienced it at daytime. I've tried to google this, but it seems like I am the only one with this issue. Had it with 3 sony phones witch I guess use some of the same software from Sony..
Anyone else had this? solved it?
Never had an issue with this Phone or my Z.

My phone's started doing this recently and has risked me losing my job because of it, I downloaded a second alarm app to be reliable, apparently it's happened to my mate on his Z1 too and he said that I should do a system update and it won't happen again, however I think I'm up to date on my version, other than that I recommend doing a factory reset. Hope this helps.

+1, never had a problem with alarms and sound
Could it be some other 3rd party app interfering with volume? Do you have a media player that stays on?
Could it be "Stamina"
I have experienced this my self. I use "Alarm Clock Xtreme Free v3.6.11".
Could these issues be caused by the phone being in "Stamina" mode. This is a battery saving mode that Sony has. It turns of WiFi and other things when screen is off.
Maybe it also turns off alarms or even apps in general?
I had same problem, but it was because I wanted "my" sound for alarm or ringing...
But if you use "system" sounds, this should not happen - take the phone to repair center...

Hey there
Forst it was a minor annoyance, but this morning the alarm went off without any sound and I was quite lucky, that the vibration was strong enough to get me out of sleep. But this just can't be.
I use custom sounds for all occasions and I got them in with the special folder structure for android to recognize sounds for the apporpriate actions.
But sometimes (no idea, why) it forgets to select any sound at all. In the list, NONE of the sounds - not even the default ones - is selected. Thus the silent alarm. (Except for the call ringtones, which switches to some boring bell.)
I kinda think that it has something to do with some .nomedia files I placed in various folders (like the ones of games...), but this just can't happen.
Any ideas, how to solve this issue? (Yes, since today it's an issue)
Thanks!
Same here. I think it has to do with the sd unmounting itself problem mentioned elsewhere. No real solution yet. Sux.
Sound Issue
I get this issue also. Approx every 24 hours i lose all Sounds for Ringtone, Alarm, Text and Email.
The only way I can get the phone to make a noise is to use the Hardware volume buttons on the side of the phone.
Even if a do a test Alarm or try to change my ringtone - No Sound.
I use all standard default sounds so no custom ringtones etc.
I have tried resetting my phone back to Factory, removing all task Manager Apps, All non essential Apps.
My workaround is to reboot my phone everynight to ensure the Alarm works in the morning.
This started since the 1.21 OTA update. Roll on 2.2..
I have started a thread for this already but no responses so far. Maybe it is not that common.
Lee.
Never had that problem, for me the only issue with alarm is the impossibility to put the sound/music to increase the volume gently...
Just started having this problem myself in the last few days. Not updated anything and still on stock 1.15 rooted.

I used to have to do this with my WinMo phone. I had hoped a new Android would actually 'work' but no, I have the issue too (although I thought it was something I'd done until I saw this thread!).

I'm still on 1.15 so it can't be the update.
Just wondering if this was a common occurance? When my phone is on a lower volume at work, I've noticed when I get messages the notification sound doesn't always play. The phone still vibrates and I've made sure its loud enough to hear, it just doesn't play until I restart the phone.
Anyone else getting this?
Currently everything is stock apart from using Nova launcher. (haven't had it long enough to start playing with ROMs )
ive noticed this sometimes, but i think changing it from the message/emails settings will fix the issue
Hi. The other day I was just testing ringtones with my 4.3 android xperia zl... when I noticed a delay of push notifications. Here's the thing:
When on WIFI, and screen off (standby/deepsleep) the push notifications are delayed between 30+ seconds to MINUTES. (or until I turn the screen on). Before you guys ask, yes. The wifi is set to be always on, stamina mode OFF, wifi optimization OFF.
Here comes the interesting part. This only happen on 4.3. Just out of curiosity I went back to 4.2.2 and guess what? the problem doesn't exist. Notifications arrive even with stamina ON, and wifi optimization ON.
Did any one here noticed this behavior with your beloved ZL? if so, what did you guys do to fix this annoying bug?
I hope I'm no the only one with this bug.
PD: This problem does not occur using mobile data.
see ya guys! have a nice day.
Same problem
I have a Nexus 4, when I upgraded to KitKat I'm having the same problem
I have tried everything, rooting, changing roms, PNF (an aplication in PlayStore that says that it will fix this) and a lot of other things but so far no luck.
I suggest you to try PNF which you can find on Play Store
when i set only the watch to buzz when the phone is set to silent.
i'd love to keep my phone on silent during work so there's not this loud obnoxious vibrating sound, but still get notified through my watch when i get a message or something. it's so annoying and i've missed a few calls because of it.
just thought you guys should know if this happens to you.

Do you have mini launcher installed? I think it can change phone settings too

no i don't, i've never heard of mini launcher before
My Moto 360 also seems to randomly silence my phone (Nexus 5, rooted, but running stock). It's rather annoying.
So far, the only thing I've found that might be related is when the watch and the phone lose connection to each other, but it has happened at other times as well.
I do have mini launcher installed, but I see no settings on it that might have this effect. I've also double checked the Android Wear app to see if there's something I did in there, but I don't see anything.
Over the weekend, I may reset the watch and see what happens afterwards.
Hi Guys, I have a G3 (D85510L) 4.4.2 unrooted and running Next launcher. The problem I have is when I play music with
the screen off, when I unlock the phone the music STOPS coming out of the speakers or headphones, bluetooth or
wired but the player is still running, so I then have to unlock the screen and then press the volume up or down just
once to get the sound back again if you go into the sound setting on the phone the media bar is at whatever it was at
before I unlocked it. Even if I stop the player and then start it again still NO sound :crying: .
Things I have tried,
Reset the phone 3 times but each time I do it works fine for about 3 days and then
the problem starts again :crying:.
Gone through all my apps but can't see anything that would cause it, apart from Google now and Commandr for Google
now, I have been in the settings and uninstalled them and tried again but just the same.
Also the Voice Mate app I tried the settings (I can't disable it) but again it was no good :crying:.
Tried some audio manager apps, no good :crying:.
I have used the stock player and PowerAmp Player but again no good :crying:.
Changed the lock screen from swipe, Knock, password and pin but still no good, BUT it will work fine if there
is NO lock screen set :crying:.
I have no idea so any help will be very welcomed :fingers-crossed:.

I'm having trouble understanding your problem. Does the music pause when you open your phone or does it just mute? And calm down with the emojis bro lol
Hi many thanks for your reply, well to be honest with you I don't know if its muting as I would not know how to do that. What happens is the music just stops coming out no sound but the player keeps going and even if I stop the player and start it again still no sound and the only way to get the sound back is to press the volume up or down.
But I was going to update this morning as I have found out what the problem is, it my flash light app (tinyflashlight by Nikolay Ananiev) from the play store I have had it for years.
As I said I have only had my G3 for about 4 weeks but this time when I was setting it up I turned on the voice activation on the torch app for the first time, so when I turn on the lock screen and you say "torch" it turns the torch on, and that was what the issue was.
So posted the reply just in case anybody else has the same problem.
ps. sorry about the smilies I was on a downer, but now I'm not life's great

Ye you never want to be the guy who uses too many smilies. It just looks weird after a certain point. And for future reference anything that affects the lock screen will most likely affect your music players performance on the lock screen. So if you run into any more similar problems check if you got any apps that affect the lockscreen recently.
