Over the last couple of days my HTC one has started making a sound like a phaser gun approx every 4 hours!
I haven't set up any new alerts and there is no indication on screen as to what the alert might be for.
Obviously i've check no one has changed my text alerts etc. I'm starting to get worried it's some kind of virus.
Any ideas?

My Tilt is waking up every night around 12:25 am. Since I also use it as my pager, I have to leave it accessible. It sits in a desktop charger. Hence, the light shines in my face and wakes me up (the backlight is turned down at night, but it's still enough).
So, why is it waking (me) up? Is it time for me to pee? Is it thirsty?
I don't see any running appts or anything that would cause this. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Turn it over!!
Soz....
while charging if you press the power button ( for standby) the light will be off but it will still be in use. It wil come out of the standby as soon as there is some message or call

Ehm... so what you are saying that he is getting called or gets a text EVERY night at 12:35 am? thats a bit obvious isnt it?
My tilt wakes me up every night but the reason is cause I'm addicted to flashing the phone lol

Nothing nefarious here...
I am not receiving any texts or calls at that hour. Emails do not wake the device day or night. There are no "notifications" that need to be cleared. I had spb Time running, but deleted it (I think it was slowing things down). Sprite runs nightly at 10pm.
Is there any other place where something may be scheduled?
By the way, not that it's related, but my old Treo (years ago, 600 or 650, can't remember) had a flaw where it would wake up every night at exactly 1:30 a.m. or something. This turned out to be a system flaw that was present on everyone's device.
I had a similar problem a year ago or more.
It woke me up very early a couple of times and I was to tired to check out why.
It turned out that If I created full day events, the default reminder time was 18 hours before as default, so it woke me up at 06.00.
So now when I create full day events with reminder, I have to set it to f.ex. 10 hours before.
And I still haven't figured out where to change the default value from 18 to 10 in outlook.. Pretty annoying.
P.S. If you are using push mail and you don't want to get mail during a period. Go into Active Sync -> Menu -> Scheduling. And define a day and nigh sync. So it doesn't check mail during nighttime.
Still happening nightly. I'm half delirious whenever it happens, but I think the actual time is 01:45 or so.
I do not have any events like you described in my calendar. I am not using push email.
Any other suggestions?

Check with your power company. Maybe they are switching power grids about that time and it causes a 'brown-out'? The phone will always spring to life from sleep if the charge is removed then replaced.
In my area, this happens at around 00:30, somtimes OK, sometimes all the power drops for a split second.
I assume you mean the alarm goes off by itself? (It is possible to set alarms that only use the light, no sound.) I had this problem; the first day I got my Kaiser I stayed up late playing around with it and tested the alarm at around 2:45 am before going to sleep. The following two nights, even though I no longer had this 2:45 alarm in the clock settings, the Kaiser woke me up during the night, but I was too tired to check what was going on.
I remembered it was probably 2:45 am when the night alarms went off, so I figured my earlier alarm was somehow running in the background. What I did was, set a new alarm at 2:45 am, on the same slot that the old 2:45 was on (the first slot), set it on all weekdays, then toggle it on and off. I was hoping this would somehow ovrewrite/reset the information about the "ghost alarm", and I guess it did, since the Kaiser no longer goes berserk during the night.
Maybe there is some sort of bug or illogical functionality with the dismiss/snooze system in the alarms? Since the Kaiser has been around for a while I thought someone else would have run into it & figured it out.
my kaiser sometiems wakes up by itself too - i reckon theres some ackground task or process running that touches something inside and that wakes the device up - i dont know what causes it or why - simplest thing ive found is to literally just cover it up - bit 'hacky' but it does me fine - im not bothered if it does wake up just so long as it doesnt wake me up!
cant beleive you guys get nightly brown-outs - thats just crap - doesnt happen in this country

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<SOLVED>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1052796.html) which indicates that a voicemail alert, prior to the media scanner completing, causes this issue.
=======================================================================
So this morning I rebooted my phone. After it loaded into the home screen (but, before it connected to the network or finished media scanning) it began beeping, loudly. I was only able to silence it by turning the phone to silent mode. This beeping continued for roughly two minutes then stopped.
At no point was there any alert or message to indicate that the system had booted up in a manner that was abnormal. After repeated tries, the device makes this noise upon boot, religiously.
What the hell is it, and how do I stop it?
Seriously? Anyone? This is obnoxious.
Maybe if you gave more info...like rom...kernel...stock...recent apps...

Well, my ROM info is in my signature and I am running the default Serendipity kernel (hardcore speedmod). There have been no recent alterations to system settings, setup, or applications. No new apps installed, or uninstalled, in the past week. And nothing is open on the device when the beeping occurs (as the phone is still starting up).
Let me take a stab...might work, might not
Do you use Google Voice?
I was having an issue last month where the phone would give the odd old G1 beeping sound as soon as it reached the homescreen after reboot. Found it was a rogue google voice email message that was trying like hell to give me a notifier, but was failing miserably. Check your web console for GV and see if you have a new message waiting to be read (or listened to), open t so it doesn't eed to notify. That stopped my crazy beeping.

I do not use Google Voice. It is, however, installed on the device. When I open it I am given a series of setup questions, so I don't imagine that it is telling me that I have a message waiting.
I originally thought that it was a message alert from some program. The problem with that is that it goes on for nearly one-hundred and twenty seconds and does not give me any visual indication of what it is attempting to alert me to.
My main concern is that it is some sort of hardware warning and that I am ignoring it out of ignorance.
Does the beeping stop when you pull down the notification bar as it would to silence an actual notification?

Can you identify which file on the phone is the actual beep sound? I'm just wondering if something is specifically calling the sound file, or if it is random. If you could identify the file and delete or rename it, it might help troubleshoot to see what your phone would do/attempt to do.
Captivate beeping

My beeping stops when i pull down the notification tray. I have been tethering for about a week without paying AT&T extra money with PDANet. Have they caught me?
This ringtone, for lack of a better word, is buried in the rom somewhere. It is called something like unresolved. Maybe reinstall kernel. this has happened to me before... I just can't remember how I fixed it.

Found another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1052796.html) which seems to have answered, but not solved, this problem.
For the folks out there that already have the HTC One - Does Sense 5 have a built-in "Do Not Disturb/Quiet Hours" feature? Kind of like on CayongenMod or iOS.
Thanks!
Could not find such a function at my one
Thanks - I did not think so, but was wishful. There are apps out there that will fill the gap.

It doesn't have anything in the settings however I have noticed I've had mine on loud and not been disturbed through the night, assumed it automatically did it between specific hours.
Probably just me being naive lol As if you worked a night shift you'd never get any message alerts lol! Facepalm...
hi,
On the htc one x when there is a notification, the led only blinks for ~30mins before stopping. Has htc fixed this yet, how long does it blink on the one?
Can someone with the phone test this please.
why would u want it to blink forever? this will burn the led out before u know it
Burn the LED out? I dont think so.

On my S3, I can customize the color of the notification LED to distinguish whether it is notifying me of an e-mail, or a text message, or a missed call, or if the phone is fully charged or not fully charged, etc. Is that a basic android feature that will be available on the One as well?

You can download an app called LightFlow.

No, the HTC One only supports red and green... unlike the SIII which sports many more.

Will this keep the the LED flashing?
It's a real pain it keep going out.
Does Lightflow even work on the HTC One?
Is that any way to turn low battery LED notification off? Really annoying
Send from my S3 (2nd HTC one goes for replacement)
So can anyone with the phone do a test? The led on the one x right now is useless. It may as well not have the led at all, since it only lasts for 30mins.
Just want to know if it's the same on the one before I pull the trigger.
thanks

Surely this is something that can be fixed in a custom ROM? I'm getting my One next week and moving from an S3, the LED is one of the most useful features for me. I can deal with the lack of colour options but 5 minutes is just silly!

Its the same with the one x, and its still isn't fixed, even with custom kernel.
Hello, I have received my free smartwatch few days ago, it seems to be working fine, but there is a issue.
I don't get any alert when my phone is disconnected from watch (there is a slight vibration, but no notification or message)
My question is how do I get my watch to vibrate and display message that my phone is lost?
this seems like a pretty much great thing to have, is there a way to get it?
Thanks a lot

Mine vibrates twice when I am out of range from phone or when I turn the bluetooth on my phone off.

Well yeah, I get that too...
But the problem is it should at least vibrate 5 times and display a message.. This way I am not sure if it is just Facebook spam or my phon ebeing lost..
So there is no way to turn on this additional alert?

I don't think that it has an option for this.
Install watchit or augmented smartwatch and you will get the alert.
