Hi Folks,
Happy HD7 user here, have had it a few weeks and really love it vs my previous phones.
However i have noticed that at varying periods of time that the sound seems to just stop working ? I noticed this most recently with alarms not going off, id often wake to the phone vibrating but no sound ? It wasnt set to vibrate either. When going to unlock the phone (Company enforced policy) the normal button taps also do not sound.
When making a call while the phone is in this state there is no sound what so ever on either end of the phone..
Soft resetting cures, but has anyone else had the same problem.
Phone is running o2 latest firmware (phone is unlocked and on the Vodafone Ireland Network).
I've had the sound stop working for music before, but I didn't try making a phone call or have an alarm go off while it wasn't working, so I can't say if all those things were affected. I assume they would be though.
Soft reset does fix it (until it does happen again, seems to be really random)
I came here looking to see if anyone was having this issue, to determine if it was just my hardware, or if it is software related.
I have noticed that at varying periods of time that the sound seems to just stop working; ie. vibrating but no sound on alarms, and the normal button taps not producing sound when going to unlock the phone.
However, when making a call while the phone is in this state, I can hear the called party fine, but they can not hear me at all.
A soft reboot solves these issues for me as well.
I am hoping that the Jan. update corrects this issue, because I do enjoy the HD7 very much.
had the same problem, it was caused when i set the alarm and the alarm was setting off but could not wake me, so the alarm was like ringing for hours, then when i woke up, i see in my screen the snooze and dismiss buttons. so i press dismiss.. but the all sounds from phone were gone...(rings, notfications, music).. i had to softreset the phone to get it working again.
I think that the problem is that the phone take a deep sleep if you push it off. Perhaps MS reduce the cpu power or clock speed in Standby-Mode to save battery life.
I dont know it shure, but the phone responds same as my old blackstone with installed
nueClockControl which allows you to change the clock speed.

I'm having the sound issue but soft reset didn't help. Any other thing that I can try to fix it?
Hi all,
Randomly my galaxy note makes a very harsh alert sound, as if an alarm has been set but the noise it makes is not one of the available alarm tones and there is no way to stop it, no alarms are set and no alarm notification in the notification bar and no alarm snooze screen is displayed when it goes off.
There's no pattern to it, it just happens at random but never when the phone is sat idle, only ever when I am using it. If I reboot the phone it continues to make the sound, the only thing I can do it turn down the ringer volume and eventually it will stop on its own.
I thought it may be some kind of overheat warning as the first time I experienced it the phone was quite warm but its happened several times now when the phone has been cold, that said it must be some kind of hardware warning because when the phone is rebooted, the sound starts even before android is booted.
Any ideas?
I don't spose someone registered, or could have registered your device with a service such as lookout?
I know they can remotely activate alarms similar to what you describe with the only way to deactivate it to turn the phone off.
Just a thought?

Extremely unlikely, I've had the phone just a few months from new in a factory sealed box and the phone is never out of my sight. Thanks for the suggestion though
I didn't find anything when searching for this so I'm wondering if anyone else experiences an issue with notification volume occasionally being higher after a restart. The notification level is still set to the same level but notifications are really loud. Changing the notification level doesn't do anything and the only way I can get it back to normal is to restart again, sometimes several times. It did this with Lollipop, Marshmallow and now with Nougat so I wonder if it's an issue with my phone.
Every time I notice if I bring the volume down to vibrate only with DND enabled...it for some reason increases the volume to low from vibrate on its own. I always have to change it. It happens during random times of the day without me knowing. I even tried going to the sound settings to enable the volume rocker to only affect the media volume just to make sure it's not me. Still didn't work. Can anyone tell me what may be causing this strange issue?
EDIT: I'm sorry but ignore this thread. I found the culprit...the cause was my Bixby Home Routine. I completely forgot all about it and how I set it up to enable sound when I'm home and connected to my wifi.
I have been using Pixel 7 for a few months now and am facing this issue since the day I have got this device. I am not sure what is causing this issue. I tried going through all the settings, developer options, custom rules, notification settings for Whatsapp but couldn't find anything.
THE ISSUE - The device works perfectly fine when I get a normal phone call, which means it rings if the phone is on ring mode when I receive a normal call. Where as for a whatsapp call (Audio/Video), even if the phone is on ring mode, it rings for a second and then immediately switches to silent mode. This means if I get a call over WhatsApp, then after that my phone will remain silent until I manually turn it back to ring mode by clicking on volume button and changing the setting. AI have to do this every single time when I get a WhatsApp call so that I don't miss out my next normal call.
I tried uninstalling the beta version, but it behaves the same way for the regular whatsapp as well. I would appreciate if anyone here could help me with this issue which has become a pain now.
