Hello everyone, I hope you can help me.
My sister has a Moto G 3G version, which is completely stock; no root, no mods, etc. When she turns it off, it plays a ringtone, instead of just a silent power down. My partner and I have the same phone, but we cannot replicate the problem, with a view to solving it. My partner and I are technically minded, but my sister is not. I don't have physical access to her phone to try different options, as we live in different parts of the UK. I can pass on information to her to test things. Can someone suggest a way to stop it ringing when it's switched off, and a reason why this may be happening, please? She doesn't want to silence the whole phone; she just wants to stop it ringing when it switches off. I would be grateful for any suggestions you can offer.

I posted this on the Verizon forums and it was suggested that I also post here looking for an answer so here it goes.
My phone will randomly turn sound off. According to all sound profiles my sound is on and it should make noise when ringing or text messages come in. The problem is that the sounds will randomly turn off but not necessarily all of them. I may receive text notifications and not rings or vice versa or I may not receive either. Then randomly they will come back and I will receive all the sound notifications.
I recently had my phone replaced and once I got the new one it began doing the same thing. I just can't believe that it is a coincidence that I would get two phones (both brand new) that would do the same thing. In an effort to fix it I updated my firmware on my old phone and everything but did not help.
I love this phone and I don't want to get rid of it and I don't want to go back to the Verizon store if there is a fix for it.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.
Hi,
I also have an Omnia II. And I do not have those issues. But what I do know is that there is an option that if you flip your phone (with the screen facing ground) the sound will shut off if someone is calling. Like if you are in a meeting and someone is calling, you just turn your phone and the sounds is then silenced.
You can find these this setting in Start>Settings>Basic settings>Motion setting
(could be other names as I use a Dutch windows)

This is the most likely problem. They set it up so that, even if the phone is tiled just slightly downward, the sound will be turned off. They really should have made it a more direct-downward position. If you turn that off and still have problems then check to make sure you're not activating a silent mode with the volume-down rocker on the side of the phone. Holding the rocker down for a few seconds will put the phone into either vibrate or silent. Hope you get it figured out!
After getting some call on my home phone from people trying to reach me, i realized that the ringtone on my LG Fathom is not working. After going into setting and trying to set the ringtone I also realized that i couldn't even test the ringtone. When i press the play button i hear nothing. even when i select the ringtone without testing it and press ok the screen just flicker a little and resets itself to the defualt ringtone. I saw some forums about similar issues but its not for this particular phone and some are not even resolved. can someone PLEASE HELP?
Hey there,
I've googled around and can't seem to find an answer to this...
I bought my Nexus 5 last week from the Play Store and I've been noticing a weird behaviour during calls. Sometimes, I stop hearing the other person, for a very brief period (it has lasted from 3s to about 20/30s). After a certain time, with no user interaction (and provided the other caller does not disconnect), the call comes back.
What's even more weird is that, when this happens, the proximity sensor stops working. The screen turns on and, no matter how close it is to my face (or even if I place a finger over it), it does not turn off for the duration of the "blackout". Everything else is responsive (touchscreen, other phone functions, etc). I'm not sure, but I think the reception bars show no change.
During this "blackout", the other callers report that they cannot hear me speaking.
Should I send it to warranty? Is there a fix? I'm currently running Android KitKat 4.4.2 stock, with no updates to download (I believe 4.4.3 has already been released, but don't know if it will address my issue). My model is the D821.
Thanks for the help

Hey guys!
I'm sure quite a few of you have made yourself a little Tasker safety setup in case your phone gets lost/stole.
My setup until now looks like this:
- Green Alert: phone is lost but not stolen. When the keywords are sent to my WhatsApp, the phones screen and camera flash start flashing and 10 seconds later the volume is turned up and a ringtone played.
- Red Alert: Phone is stolen, upon keywords sent through WhatsApp, phone discreetly takes pictures with front and back facing cameras, turns on gps and sends pictures + location data + battery status to my email address.
What I want to do now, and where I would be glad to get some pointers from you guys, is create an intermediate profile, say "yellow alert", that may be used when uncertain if the phone is stolen or just misplaced. My idea was to turn the volume up, and simulate an incoming call.
If the phone is just misplaced, chances are I will find it by the ringing sound.
Else, if the phone was stolen, and if the thief happens to still be close to the area, chances are when the phone starts ringing he will want to mute it ASAP. So what would be great is if "mute" or "reject call" is pressed, the phone goes into "Red Alert" mode.
I've been experimenting with possibilities for such a profile in Tasker but have yet to succeed.. Any pointers on how this could be achieved or additional suggestions are welcome.
Additionally, should anyone be interested in my profiles just ask and I will send them to you.
Thank you!
EDIT: my phone is a rooted Nexus 5 running stock 4.4.4, just in case that may be needed for anything
The title pretty much says it. If my phone is facedown there is no ring tone, and auto answers and I never know the call even came in. I assume it is a setting about silence phone by putting facedown, but it shouldn't auto answer. But I can't even find that setting. Anyone have any suggestions?
check you do not disturb settings.
the settings you are looking for are under settings\smart\assistance\voice control
Thanx for the suggestion, but that's not it. It is scheduled for specific hours, and I tested...holding the phone it rings, face down on the counter it doesn't, and it auto answers.
I would swear I saw and turned on a setting to quiet the phone be placing face down. But I didn't expect it to answer. But I can't find that setting now.
Settings > smart assist > movement control....or something like that...translated from dutch....sorry...
Thanks.
This is crazy. I just checked there again, and it's not there.
I notice on my Note 4 that there is a turn device over to mute. Maybe I am thinking of that.
That leaves me wondering why this phone will not ring when is facedown , and also auto answers. So phone call comes in, the phone answers it, and I have no way of knowing that the phone call even came in. Again, that is if it's facedown on the desk .
settings/motion control, at least on my mate 9 pro..
I can say that there is definitely NO setting there0 regarding any thing to do with silencing my phone by putting the phone face down. But...When I first got the phone the firmware was 138, and I did a lot of the configuration on 138. It has since upgraded to 9183. Maybe that setting is now gone.
One thing olI did try:.under Smart Assistance, I had Smart Assistance, motion, lift to ear to answer turned on. So I thought maybe being face down was making that setting answer. I turned it off, and that did not fix it.
I'm on hold right now with Huwaei tech support.
Well, guess what. The reason turning off Raise Tho Ear didn't fix the problem is because it is there in 2 places. I turned off one but not the other. Three 2 places are:
Smart Assistance/Motion Control/Resist To Ear
Advanced Settings/Accessibility/Resist To Ear To Answer

Dear ewingr,
I am having the similar issue on my Made 10 pro. Communicated with Huawei Tech Sopprts many times and followed to their many recommendations. I even reset my phone to the factory original configuration but the problem is still there. The problem is when the phone is in the pocket, in-coming calls would automatically pickup without me even know it since it is never ring or vibrate. I did all I could, some guys recommeded to never put the phone in the pocket....common guys please be relistic, the phone almost always reside in the pocket that why we call it a mobile phone.
Any body please help!!
