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'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...
I have searched as much as I can, but can't find any info on this. It has happened on both mine and my wife's M8, but only after updating to Marshmallow. If the phone dies suddenly without being able to shut down fully most of the time it will lose certain settings, like sounds, data and Wi-Fi turned off, saved Wi-Fi networks gone, etc. If it happens while starting up it has lost whole apps, all contacts; mostly acting like a first boot but some installed apps, settings, call history, text messages, etc did remain. Any ideas?

I spend the same, and also turns off me having 20 % battery....google traslate, sorry.
I get the exact same issue, but no idea why it happens :/

It's a glitch with HTC's Marshmallow version. It happens on stock as well as custom ROMs. Nothing to do but wait for an update from them, or always make sure your battery stays charged. It happens to me at 6%
Same Problem but phone dies at 20%-30%

I am having the same problem, heaps of settings change, including default keyboard, messaging app quick settings wifi etc
if my phone was dying at 5%i could deal with it but it is dying anywhere between 20 and 30% and often catches my unawares.
An update to fix this would be great.
Yup, I have the same problem only I don't lose saved wifi networks but I get signed out of every single app. I also get a google play services error which requires me to clear the apps data.
Snap!
I have been having these problems for the past 4 months (running Lollipop)
I thought that the Wifi passwords issue and app logouts was due to low system memory. (battery would die around 15%)
Since doing a factory reset and 2 weekends ago, the battery dies around 25% and I still experience app log outs etc.
My device is close to the 24month warranty limit and I need a fix urgently.
I also have Bluetooth call random clipping happening both on lollipop and Marshmallow.
This is killing me. Any fixes yet?
Lately it's been losing home screen icons and a couple settings even when I manually shut the phone down. Ironically yesterday when it died suddenly some previously missing icons I had yet to restore reappeared.
please!! any Fix ???
Any fix??? My phone does this too, and its becoming more often than a weekly thing now
A few times now manually shutting the phone down before the battery dies has led to all Google related icons (Chrome, YouTube, Play Music, etc.) being removed from my home screens and having to manually re-add them. When the battery dies it's a roll of the dice what, if anything, will be changed/lost.
In addition to almost everything already said RE: most customization is lost, apps and widgets disappear on restart, etc. I've noticed that all of the (mostly AT&T) apps that I disabled are enabled and updated when the phone comes back on! This is so annoying and is my first major problem with this phone! It's taking time to have to redo all my settings each time the phone dies!
Same problem here very annoying especially as I have to phone bank to reset my mobile banking app as it screws the settings in this. #leaveitoncharge
Yesterday mine died at 30%, and upon restarting it went through the "Optimizing Applications 1 of 261" then proceeded to come up with a warning that the phone had an internal error and might be unstable until doing a factory reset. After clearing the warning it was stuck in a "Sense Home has stopped working" loop until I could get into Settings and clear the data for Sense Home. This allowed me to at least make sure things were backed up before doing a factory reset, but more than half of my contacts were missing as well as many text, call history, etc. A similar thing happened with the wife's M8 last week and had to factory reset hers then too.
I had this problem and had my battery and main board replaced in the final month before 24 m warranty ran out.
Do a battery test *#*#3424#*#*
Then hit more, and select battery test.
Battery has to be 100% to complete teat which takes an hour. Do this when you don't need it.
My test would often show 91-94% but I had one that said 71% which I saved a screen shot.
Since the battery and main board replacement it's still my favourite phone.
solve the problem of battery and loss of settings , change the battery of my htc, now everything is fine , 3 days that the battery is discharged properly , I hope this information will help someone.
Not positive I've lost settings, though I'm fairly certain I have. I have lost app permissions many times. And my phone seems to die around 30% and won't let me boot unless I am plugged into charger. I was recently forced into a factory reset due to a message that popped up just like a somebody else a few posts back. This is a recently replaced phone (VZW replaced it as the prior had battery problems). The prior one did not do this. I hope HTC get's their act together and fixes the issue. Highly annoying.
Ive been having this issue since the beginning of the year and now it seems to happen every few days. I pretty much don't have a choice but to buy a new phone at this point, which sucks because I love my m8.
This is exactly the same issue I've been having. I'm at my wits end with having to re-do all of my settings and apps daily, and sometimes (randomly!) it won't hang onto a charge for more than a few hours even if I'm barely using it. I basically have to leave it on a charger all the time to keep it from shutting down and losing all my settings! I used to love my M8, but for the first time ever I'm considering swapping to a Samsung just to get away from these issues. I've had this phone for a little over two years and these problems only just started around March 2016 - but they've been an absolute constant since then, and only getting worse.
Hi All,
I've had my OP3 for a little over six months now, and while my experience has been fairly positive, there have been a couple issues that I find myself getting frustrated over. I am looking to see if anyone has had any fixes for any of these (more common) problems, whether it be settings, tweaks, or other ROM's.
1. Location - The location accuracy is really bad. I live in NYC and drive for two hours a day, keep Waze open to avoid traffic jams, spend a lot of time in the city during the weekend, and it is very unreliable. If walking, it can be off by an entire block, going in the wrong direction; when driving, it's intermittent and can fail to get a location for periods at a time. Might be a hardware limitation?
2. Doze - Notifications from apps get delayed until wake, sometimes dozens at a time. I've disabled Doze, Aggressive Doze in Greenify, and battery optimization on individual apps, have tried stock and Freedom OS to no avail. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
3. SMS - A lot of SMS messages sent to me are dropped and never received, and a lot of MMS I try to send fail to send. I have used stock messages and bought Textra, and have no idea why this happens. Been on AT&T for a decade now so it's not a carrier thing. Have ended up using other modes of messaging as SMS is unreliable.
4. Mic - Poor background noise reduction in telephone calls. Especially when driving with the windows up, people on the other side of the call hear a lot of background noise and echoes from their own voice. This makes sense as their voice is on the car speaker, but even at lowest volume, it is worse than any phone I've had previously. Might be limited by the hardware, but because echo-reduction can be a software-fix I figured I'd mention it anyway.
5. Vibration - it's weak. If I don't have audio on, I probably wont notice even if it's right in front of me. I use the Xposed tweak to not much improvement. Not as important as the others but it is what it is.
The phone otherwise is awesome - very snappy, great battery life, super fast charging, solid screen, but the things above make me hesitant to recommend. Any help at all (even your ROM/Kernel if you don't have some of these problems) would be appreciated.

Yeah, and then FreedomOS CE to see if it would make any difference on these. So far nothing - stayed on MM though, if N helps with any of these maybe I update.

Maybe you should update to latest oxygen os
Got my pixel a few days ago. Not receiving notifications in time drives me nuts. So usually gmail notifications appear on screen as soon as I unlock and wait or after about 15-30 minutes after I received an email. Sometimes longer for whatsapp No battery saver, no adaptive battery, optimizations are off for gmail. Also tried all permutations of those settings. Tried factory reset and Q up and downgrade. Nothing seems to work. Happens on wifi and cellular. Devices isn't rooted.

Since you are fairly new here in terms of posts, why not update your profile with at least your location and carrier. We don't need your exact GPS coordinates, but knowing what city/country you live in and which carrier you are using can be very helpful in diagnosing your problem. Others in your area may also chime in with their experiences if they see you are close by. If you are on an MVNO, then state exactly which one. To start with, how many APN's do you have for your carrier and have you tested any other than the default? Verify your APN settings with your carrier's web site, and fill in any that are blank or wrong. Was your SIM from your last phone, or did you get a new SIM from your carrier provisioned for your Pixel? You should not have to tweak your phone at all for the issues you are describing. Just some thoughts. Cheers.

I have the same issues. I just ordered mine from Google, unlocked.
Sim from Sprint, updated PRL. Doesn't matter.
Sometimes I don't get notifications from my "battery charged" app.
It is frustrating. I don't know the fix, and I haven't mentioned it here either.
What seems to work so far is disabling deep/light idle via adb:
$ adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
Deep idle mode disabled
Light idle mode disabled

This will be lost on reboot
scrap that, it's not working either way. Don't know what to do, it's unusable that way. Kinda need fast notifications for business
I have the same problem, but, only with certain apps. I'm on Verizon in St Louis, USA. I'm currently on Q beta, but, this happened on Pie at least since the start of this year.
Messages does this the worst. I'll get the message on the web app sometimes a couple minutes before it pops up on my phone. A REALLY funny one, when connected to my SUV via Bluetooth, a message will popup on its screen several seconds, sometimes more before it does on my phone. So, to me it seems like the phone is getting them right away, but doesn't send the notification immediately?
Now, Outlook on my phone I get them before they show on my work computer. So, thankfully I'm not getting delayed work emails, that could be bad considering I'm a sys admin.
I've noticed with some others, like Facebook or whatever, that if I wake up my phone, unlock it, or another notification comes in, all of a sudden I'll get some for those if there are any. In checking FB it's definitely a late notification.
I just turned off adaptive battery yesterday for other reasons, that hasn't helped. I wonder if it's one of the battery settings though that are somehow affecting it. Like the optimization for example. I don't know. It's REALLY annoying though. This plus the Bluetooth problems that Google can't seem to fix (but no other phone that I know about has these problems), I'm really starting to get pushed away here. If it weren't for day one updates, the camera, and things like that, I'd consider jumping ship...
If anyone figures this out, let me know! I'll keep digging too.
disable adaptive battery + exempt apps from battery optimization

Yeah... that was the first thing I've tried. Haven't found any solution still. Basically gmail notifications don't work. Old mails will stay as unread for half-an hour and vice versa. Pretty useless

I noticed this for the first week after a clean flash then went back to normal
Might have something to do with the new battery management
So, I've been paying more attention to this, and, I've noticed something. Every time a notification doesn't come through, even though it pops up on my watch or my car, the tap to wake doesn't work. I wonder if the screen just isn't waking up for some reason? I'm not sure how that's controlled, so I don't know how one would fix it though.
Just wondering if anyone has figured this out. It is beyond ridiculous to have to wake up my phone in order for for a notification to come though. I am noticing this mostly with Gvoice and Gmail. My most frequently used and important apps. Connected to wifi 99% of the time as coverage is terrible in my area. All battery optimization is turned off. Also, it is intermittent. Most times things come through fine. For example. I woke up in the middle of the night and looked at my phone and I Gvoice message went off as soon as I woke it up. In this case the message was coincidentally sent right then, but that is the same behavior I have been experiencing when a message is delayed. Phone and watch are quiet, wake phone, suddenly my watch and phone go off with one or more notifications from one or more apps.
The one thing I have noticed is that push notifications get effed up for certain apps and I have to turn off app notifications, fully close app/clear cache, re-enable notifications and turn the app back on/reboot.
