I have had my Rezound for 30 days today. This morning while driving into work my phone was on the Verizon GPS dock and the died due to low battery. It was the first time I actually let it discharge completely. Later at work I got a call and the ring tone I set up for that person was different. I went into all the contacts I assigned ring tones to and they were all changed. I then opened up GO SMS and all the notifications I had assigned were all changed as well. There does not appear to be any rhyme or reason to the pattern of the changed ring tones and notifications and nothing else on the phone appears to have been affected.
I used to have a problem like that occasionally on my HTC EVO 4G, but that was only when I was restoring some nandroid backups. Obviously that would not be the case with the Rezound, so I am left with a question. Was it an issue with the GPS Dock or the battery discharge completely? Or could it be that it discharged while on the GPS dock? I searched the forum and could not find anyone with this exact same issue so not if this is something new or an old issue. Minor annoyance I guess, but we all know how long it takes setting up your ring tones and notifications.
Mine did the same thing yesterday except that it had a charge.
Then last night it just started boot looping for no reason.

Now that I started looking at the phone it started flickering so I am thinking I might have to do a factory reset to see if that fixes it.

Mine had similar problems, my apn changed on its own and couldnt get a data connection, and my ringtones changed. I reset the apn to default which fixed the data but then I kept getting 1x when my wifes was on 3g. So anyway did a factory reset and everything working great now.
yeah, i thought it was go sms...go was changing my text noise to a SONG in my music folder lol...and my ringtone sometimes changed back to default, but that was because i had my ringtones on the external SD, when they should be on internal..everytime you plug it into the PC, it'll reset to the stock ringtone. but yeah as for tones, idk why that does it.
I am 'glad' I am not the only one, but not sure if I want to do a factory reset in case the phone got boinked or to just reassign the notifications and ring tones. If multiple phones had this issue and it seems to be on the day they had a huge network outage could that be the cause.
I've had issues with notifications changing randomly, generally when it dies or I do a full reset. My favorite was when I missed some important calls because it changed my ringtone to silent. I refuse to do a factory reset, though. Too much hassle, so I periodically check my sounds.

Ugh, my phone wasn't doing this at all. Then I did a factory reset to try to take care of the Mobile Hot Spot issue, and now my notification sounds are changing.
Time for an OTA update, hTC!!
Has anyone been calling Verizon to report this issue? Squeaky wheel gets the oil or else we're just whining to each other on the internet.
isn't it , squeeky wheel gets the grease? lol
Temp Root
This only happens after I temp root. It unmounts the SD card and changes all of my custom ringtones for different contacts.
Leave more info of this buggy issue
My wife had the same issue once!!! But I haven't encountered after that, can you guys leave some info for reference? BTW, if ur custom ringtone is mp3. saved in external storage, did you remove SD card or set disk drive mode while issue happening?
My device
ROM version:1.02.605.6
Issue happened step: Can't repro!!
It's happening to me now and it started when I changed out my battery. Probably just a coincidence. Having to keep fixing ring tones is a pain in the ass.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
I was having the same issue because I was temp rooting a lot. I fixed this by putting the ringtone and notification that I always use into the system/media/audio. This prevents it from changing it to something else, or to nothing selected, when the SD card is unmounted.

Seen this a few times in recent days myself (Unrooted/ Stock). Not 100% sure, but it looks like the SD card is somehow getting ninja unmounted when the battery dies (or is about to die) because i'm also not able to access anything on the SD card after that happens. I'll try to test again today to confirm if this is the actual trigger. For me, a reboot automatically remounts the SD card correctly - restoring any missing ringtones/notifications in apps, without having to manually set up each one. The odd thing is that when this happens, settings > sd & phone storage still shows the SD card as mounted. Also weird: manually unmounting/ remounting the SD card via will let me re-access some files (photos), but ringtone links are still dead. A reboot fully solves the issue until the next occurance. This probably needs to be reported as a bug.
It has been happening to me a lot. Seems like I reboot my phone and at least 1 ringtone will default to Silent.
I just moved all my ringtones and notifications to the system/media folder. I will see if it sticks.

Confirmed yesterday that "about to die" wasn't the trigger. Will try to let it die all the way to see if I can get it to barf again.
I am having this issue also and it is driving me crazy. It is also changing to like a random ringtone and my alarm sound even has changed. I have not hooked it up to my PC in a few days and am not rooted or unlocked. Only thing I can think of is when I rebooted it since I do not let it die very often. I was beginning to think my phone was haunted ;P LOL j/k But seriously it should not do this!!
Same issue with downloaded notification tones and alarm sounds changing and/or resetting. It hasn't happened in a while. I won't speculate the cause at this point. Glad it's not just me.

Let the phone fully die last night. Plugged in & charged to about 75% before I turned it back on. Checked to see if Alarm was able to read SD ringtones. YEEEEUUUUP.
So it seems like this issue is random, which makes it slightly more annoying.
W/e, it's a bug that is somehow related to rebooting & hopefully it will be caught/ fixed by HTC in the next patch. For me, the issue is rare and a manual reboot fixes the borked notifications. I can live with that for a while.
I've had this happen on reboot as well. It, along with the network bootloop issue, seem to be completely random upon reboot and everyone needs to make sure to report these bugs to HTC. These are both VERY annoying!
I am using CM7 latest weekely every thing is perfect but now suddenly my phones screen turns on like call is coming and turns back off after 2 sec and this happens randomly.
is this expected behavior?
is there any work around?
My fiancee has an atrix that is totally stock and hers just started doing this yesterday. I would also like to know the answer to this. I was thinking it was a hardware issue with the power button but hopefully i am wrong, that way I dont have to mess with a warranty exchange. Any help would be appreciated.
by any chance have u just start using this app "Memory Booster - RAM Optimizer" if yes then this might be the one, i have just messed around in its settingsd and no screen wakup problems so far

No. The only apps that I think might cause this that I have on her phone is beautiful widgets and a data toggle. She has had these apps on there for awhile and the phone just started to act up.

Both me and my brother own atrix and it happens on both.It was happening on stock 2.3.4 and now on cm7 as well it must be something with the phone not a rom related issue
i also have beautiful widgets, can sk8trix conform that his and his brother phone have this app too. if yes then this might be the cause. or we have to tell each other whole list of apps that we have installed to narrow down the culprit.
On her phone I have all of her apps that are supposed to sync turned off. I recently installed data enabler for her so she would have a data toggle on her home screen. I use advanced task manager to kill her apps by force stopping them. Last night I used it and closed everything and turned her screen off. 5 minutes later it come on for about two seconds and shut off. I have been looking at what apps might be causing this and really dont see anything unusual except for the data enabler and beautiful widgets. I will uninstall both of those and report back later on to let you know the result. Hopefully someone else will come along with a better solution.

I don't use beautiful widgets ever.....I even tried with a clean install no apps installed except stock cm7 apps and google apps and it still happened so I gave up trying to figure it out.
it doesn't shorten my battery life at all so I don't worry however if there is a fix I will use it because it is annoying.
Edit the only time the phones wake up by themselves is right after we hit the power button to turn the screen off or when the phone firat boots and is still locked it will turn the screen off and turn it back on the dim again.
I dont think its cm7 issue cos i was at weekly # 4 and there was no issue then i flashed tuch recovery and after that boot it started happening. Then i flashed latest weekely and reverted back to old recovery. And i agree this only happen when i turn screen off (randomly)
OK here is where I am at now with this problem. I uninstalled both apps and it seems to be ok for the time being, but my fiancee told me she had been receiving weird messages in her notification bar. I looked into it and she was getting ads in her notification bar. So I downloaded AirPush Detector from the market and ran a scan on her phone and it detected a couple of apps pushing notifications. I got rid of the apps and now im back to checking the phone again. I dont know if that AirPush app would help you guys out or not but it would hurt to try.
since i have started this thread my problems have gone away like a little *****, and i dont know how to recreate this problem any more so i am stuck with no problem no solution thing.
12 hrs passed no problem so far.
It was apps in the background running. Airpush helped. I told her from now on no more free apps, i would rather buy them then fight this **** again. I put the data toggle and beautiful widgets back on her phone and it's ok. Thanks for your guys input.

I am having The same problem with my Samsung Galaxy ace Gt-5830i.
Earlier it had problems with charging and SD card. So we took it to authorized service center. And they said they had formatted the phone and installed stock ROM on it. They also replaced the charger port. But now after two days the phone screen is turning on and off at repeated intervals (for about 2 Seconds). So what might be the problem.
Getting a strange screen glitch on my x10 mini, it does it on all roms including stock
The screen sort of splits just below the notification bar and aort of shifts up so that the notification bar is shown at the bottom.
The touch screen still acts normal as if everything is in the correct place, its strange.
Has anyone had this problem? Or can anyone help solve this

same problem
I have exactly this problem, i've had it for 9 months now, it drives me up the wall, and ive periodically trauled the internet for someone with the same situation. you are the first i've found, did you get this fixed?
i think it happened for me around the time i started learning to make phone apps, so one of the apps i installed to help me with that could've triggered it, but i can no longer remember which apps i installed, and have since factory reset the phone.

Before posting here, I looked extensively for someone with a similar issue reported and came up empty. I also tried PPCGeeks a couple days ago and got no response. I thought I'd run this issue by the real experts before taking my phone to Sprint "experts" so that they can swap it out. Here are the details:
My Photon 4G has been rooted since right after I got it about 8 months ago and has had no problems like this until now. The only app that has updated in the last couple days is Busybox and that was the night before this all happened. My battery died and the phone did a forced shut-down that night. I plugged it in, powered it up, and let it charge all night & then noticed the problem the next morning.
I'm using DejaOffice for my calendar and contacts (contacts are also synced to the native phone list) and I use companionlink to sync everything from my desktop (Windows Vista). When I looked this morning, everything in DejaOffice was purged including my preferences (screen color, alarm defaults, etc.). I re-synced everything, powered off and then back on, and had the same problem with everything being gone.
Next, I tried purging DejaOffice data and un-installing it, re-installing it, re-syncing and then powered off/on and once again everything was gone. Finally, I did a factory reset on the whole phone (and forgot to backup my voicemails in the process...grrrrr), re-installed DejaOffice, synced, and had the same problem once I power-cycled.
One more thing to note is that before doing any of this, I attempted a backup with "My Backup Root" and got a message that my phone was no longer rooted.
It seems like the internal memory on my phone is being wiped every time it's shut down. I know the quick fix is to not shut the phone down however I'd like to get to the bottom of this and see if I need to get my phone replaced.
Any ideas??? Thanks in advance for any help/advice.
<bump> and update:
I noticed that my "webtop version" is "unavailable"...not sure if that makes a difference to my problem. Also, when this problem first presented itself, I noticed it because the ringtone that I usually use (which was stored on the phone's internal memory of course) was gone.
Once again...any help or replies would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
The clock on my daughters phone keeps moving on 3 minutes or so every so often. This isn't a massive issue apart from it seems to do it around when an alarm is supposed to go off and it keeps missing it. Anyone know what it might be or a solution for it?
Was phone recently updated to JB and factory reset was not done?
