I do not know exactly, but I guess it is emergency alert?
check on settings -> more -> emergency alerts.
You can also mute them from that options.

it is not my emergency alerts, they are turned off

Need Help! Touch Pro freezes while charging

I wanted to see if this is a common issue. My Touch Pro has done this a few times so I know it has to be some sort of glitch and not just a one time fluke. I wake up to find my phone with the ring lit up solid (indicating full charge), but the phone will not turn on so I have to reset it. This is a problem because I use it as my alarm clock and it is just freezing at random. It does not freeze at all throughout the day.
Any help or enlightenment on this problem is greatly appreciated!
Are you using something like G-Alarm or the standard alarm on the phone? Also are you using S2U2? If so could be a setting in there.
my phone does this occasionally too without any alarms or anything set...
I have s2u2 installed, but not in use. I use Klaxon for the alarm which also sets the standard alarm for the phone. I use it every night, but it only freezes on occassion.

Not too familar with that one, I use G-alarm which is pretty nice and it works with the standard alarm too and is pretty friendly with the HTC Touch Pro and Diamond IMO. I have never had my TP freeze using this alarm.
Mine does that if there is a bluetooth capable pc on in the same room at night. Strange thing. I just disable bluetooth on my pc and my phone stopped freezing.
Thanks, I'll try switching alarms and see if that helps. I doubt it will do much since I use Klaxon every night and it does not freeze that often.
Hmmm...the bluetooth thing is definitely weird. I rarely have bluetooth turned on on my phone, and I always shut down my computer at night. Did your phone do this even when bt was not on?
Mine does it also and I don't even use the alarm. (Verizon TP)
me too
i have had this happen and so has my girlfriend both sprint touch pro.
she uses the stock alarm i dont use the alarm at all
its only when charging overnight and only about once every 2 months
also we both dont have blue tooth active
i always assumed it was a random wm error
same issue with 6800
I had the same issue with my 6800 (I get the 6850 next week). It turns out that it was some conflict with my podcast software. When it was plugged in and trying to do an auto download it would freeze. I changed settings on how often it checked the net and bingo, the problem stopped.
I think some people have resolved this issue, by going into Today settings and under the Items tab unchecking the Today timeout.
Thanks, I have changed the setting. I will give it a little while and see if the problem persists. Thanks again for your help.
Ive heard of this happening on my ROM as well. It happaned to me once.... And it was on a stock ROM when it did. Dont know if there is a fix.
well so far so good....changed the today timeout under today screen settings, and the phone has not had the issue yet. I will update again after a little more time passes.
I also have this problem on the Verizon TP. I use G-alarm. The problem first happened after I set Sprite for automatic backup at 3 AM, so I thought it was related to that. I stopped automatic backup and went two weeks without a night time freeze, but this morning it happened again. I have just unchecked the Today timeout as suggested here, hopefully that helps. Does anybody have any more to report on the effectiveness of this fix?
No luck with the Today timeout check box. I unchecked on May 8, I once again had the TouchPro freeze while on charge overnight last night. Worked fine for 6 days then the problem recurred. Any other ideas?
this happened to me as i woke up this morning. i am using a far from stock setup with the rom thats listed in my sig & a bunch of other things. i would have a real hard time narrowing this down with all the extras i have going. but i would def like to figure it out. so i'm bumping this to keep people posted.
thanks guys
TP freeze
I am having the same freezing issue. It mostly happens over night while charging but it has happened during the day as well. hopefully someone finds the issue.
having the same problem here. Sprint on MightyRom 4.1x.
I only charge the phone from the AC brick. About once every couple weeks I come downstairs to a locked up phone.

another way to freeze your Mozart

1. set an alarm time at 7:00 am or whatever time in the morning at night before you go to bed.
2. when the alarm set off at the set time, do not touch it until a quite long time later, let's say, 9:00am.
3. then start the phone, try to slide the hood up using your finger. you can move it up, however it can sometimes only moves to halfway of the screen or completely. but either way, then you get it frozen there.
4. to use the phone you have to switch it off and restart it again although luckily WP7 starts up quite faster than those using WM6.5.
ps: in my case, i set the alarm at 8:30 am, but i didn't do anything when it alarmed until it became quiet itself. when i tried to use it at about 10:00am, it froze. until it happened to me quite a few times i realised that it could be a bug of it. it happens even after i did the hard reset.
by the way the ROM is from Orange, UK.
same here, every morning the alarm does not wake me up then when i wake up at look at the phone its frozen. and im guessing if i call orange they will ask me to hard reset the phone, lose all my settings and apps ( thatn sounds so iphone,....apps) for the problem to continue!!!! any one else want a rant about this problem.
no problem with mine
alarm set to 5:30am, 6:30am, 7:00am
and its orange uk too
works very ok
use it everyday

Please try to do the same as i said using only one alarm time in my post instead of three times. And if interested, try the procedures in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845321, too. Many thanks.
Actually: here's my whole story... kind of a lil different experience for me...
Scenario 1:
Created three alarms, each one 15 minutes apart... they helped me in walking up and i would click the dismiss button and such... but most of the time, even though the phone worked without any problems, NO AUDIO! Even when i played any song on the phone or got a call or anything... Plus, the Power button only unlocked but never shut-down the phone so had to take out the battery to reset... A few times though it wasn't frozen but while unlocking or going into a hub or something, it would end up freezing.
Scenario 2:
Disabled one of the alarms and by the time i wake up, i usually find the phone frozen and unresponsive... Sometimes it would work but same problem as before, no audio at all....
Scenario 3:
Only one alarm enabled now every noon ('coz i wake up at 1:00 PM), i always find the phone frozen and have to reset...!
Scenario 4:
No Alarms enabled! Phone works SUPER DUPER FRICKIN' AWESOME!!!! Well the only time i usually do end up resetting is when Marketplace crashes out on me and doesn't start back up (which has really happened only once in a while)
--------------------------------------------
Call me crazy but despite this annoying bug i'm really loving my Mozart!
Not sure if this is a HTC issue (most-likely) but I do hope that these issues are ironed out in the January/February updates!!! Keeping my fingers crossed...
Regards.

been using my alarms ok just changed to the 3 alarms be cause i always used to ignore the first sound
was not freezing when it was one
not freezing now that i have three
only frozen once on market while downloading xbox live extras
my phone works perfectly what more can i say
fantastic device
Same problem here.
I've two ararlms, set 3 min apart. if i dimiss the first alarm before the second goes off, all works fine. but if the first is not dismissed then after the second alarm i need to restart the Mozart.
Agree with others that despite all these annoying things Mozart is a great device. I wish Microsoft releases the next update asap.
Similar problems here since day 1. My issue though was caused by hitting the snooze button each time the alarm went off (instead of actually getting out or bed or hitting the dismiss button).
After about half dozen "snoozes" the phone hangs and needs the battery removed (power button will not turn the device off, screen unresponsive to touch input, only the screen can be turned on and off with the power button).
Has anyone tried to replicate the issue with "vibrate" turned off under "ringtones & sounds" settings? I've turned this off which solved some occasional sound stuttering when receiving emails or sms, and I can't say that I've noticed this alarm bug since.
Maybe worth a try?

Reading this really makes me wonder, whether there was a decent Q&A involved...
Especially, since the WP7 runs way better than WM6 (or 6.1 or 6.5) - but fails in seemingly small applications.
(My problem regarding the jump-to-letter feature in the Zune application is purely based on the German language -.- . I've set my Mozart to English - just to try it - and suddenly the letters appear correctly and allow me to jump directly to a letter (like in the contacts) in the Zune application. If the language is set to German, all letters are grey and only the "#" is active...)
I really hope that these bugs will be fixed in the next update.
(Additionally, my phone has not crashed since I stopped using the alarm clock)
I had WM 5, 6, 6.1, 6.3 and 6.5 soon WP 7
I never used the windows alarm because it freeze my devices every time.
Crazy.....
I have SPB Time it's very nice
I had set up like 8 alarms, and i have the same problem OP has.
If you don't dismiss your alarm, phone freezes when the next alarm goes.
I have T-Mobile 16GB Mozart. so it isn't orange related
I'm using my mozart every morning as an alarm clock - no problems until now. But normally I wake up and hit "dismiss".
I have a germany T-Mobile device...

[Q] Alarm auto snooze after 1 min, bug?

Hello,
I started to use the Stock Alarm of my GS3, but there's no option to unset the automatic snooze that interrupts any song after 1 sharp minute.
I don't mean the repeating snooze of the alarm 3-5 times and time between the repeating, I mean that just the first time the alarm is singing for 1 minute even if the song/mp3 is longer, than again 1 minute if repeating is active.
Note, I have 30 sec screen off, repeating time is 5 minute for 3 times (for instance).
Did you noticed that?
How can we resolve that?
I would have thought that anyone who uses the alarm would be turning it off almost immediately. I do.

Depends if you like to stay some other minutes more in slumber before standing up.
Well, you can turn it off, but at this point there no reason to snooze, you turned off already and you can easily fall in sleep again but this time without the alarm. I don't like :cyclops:

I remember my roomate at uni had a CD player alarm clock. He got drunk one evening and I ended up listening to his entire madness CD. Not complaining about the music but to this day House of Fun still makes me cringe.
Also have you tried other applications for your alarm?

Yeah, I will go for other apps. I already installed them, and I'm testing the best that suites to me.
In the meantime if somebody has a solution or modified apk, I will appreciate.
But it's a pity, I had nothing to complain of the Stock Alarm: very simple, clear and working, already inside the stock, just the maximum 1 minute of singing alarm. Just a programmer's idea, I think.

Ringtone Playing Randomly

I've had this phone for a few months now and I've noticed one weird thing about mine. The default LG "Life's Good" ringtone will just up and play at random times. Some times twice within one second of the other one starting. No one is calling me, there's no notifications up in the status bar, all my ringtones and notification tones are different from the defaults. I can't figure this out. Anyone else experience this?
Sent from my LGLS992 using XDA-Developers mobile app
playing at 7am and at 9am. I checked all alarm app. And all the other apps I have for notification but nothing so far. I don't know why it's playing "life's good" ringtone. Did anyone ever find the issue?
I did a backup restore from my g3 when I first got it. Maybe it's an issue with restoring from an old phone
your phone's possessed.
I had the same issue in the first week, out of nowhere the life's good ringtone would play. But it's been about 2 months without this issue, I have the H860 dual sim variant and muted the second sim ringtone(I don't use the second sim) and I don't know if that was it or it was fixed on an update.
Now with daylight saving happening. The ringtone is playing even an hour earlier. So it's not alarm based... Because it would follow the time 7am sharp. Now it's at 6am. This is frustrating. Maybe some files were left behind when I deleted an app? Idfk

Question Anyone else having sound issues?

I have noticed some sound issues pretty much from day one with my pixel 6.
Initially it started off with the ringtone/notifications playing low, so I assumed this may be some kind of on-body setting where they don't play full blast if your holding the phone.
Now I've noticed when exiting from bedtime/DND modes the phone has no sound, even with all the volume sliders set to max (my usual setting).
I have also had the same thing happen when the phone has been asleep for an hour or two.
Sometimes I can pick the phone up & find I have missed calls or notifications because the phone made no sound/vibration when it was on the desk right next to me.
I have tried adjusting DND setting to no effect. There is also no audio accessories paired to the phone.
So each morning I have to check DND is disabled, then check volume sliders, then reboot the phone before the sound comes back.
I haven't, but I have a family member that has experienced what you've described.

Glad it's not just me then. I might try flashing the update to see if it improves any.
