[Q] Phone keeps deleting my contacts & Bottom Speaker - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A couple of things, my contacts being deleted has happened to me twice now and it's getting annoying, it's usually in the morning after I wake it up from charge I find all my contacts are gone. Any help?
Also, was wondering if the bottom speaker of the phone is supposed to be a little quieter/tinnier than the speaker at the top?

Are these regular contacts, synced with your google account? How do they come back - do you reenter them or do they just magically appear a little bit later on?

You can say problem in Sync instead of deleting contacts.
if you are on custom rom you can simply flash Gapps
if you are stock user (official firmware) repair firmware by PC Companion can solve your problem
to be sure about speakers check teardown guides and read it carefully

[Q] Dialer Issue

Hi guys,
I just received my Desire S today from Singapore and everything is working fine,except for a minor issue with the Dialer and I don't know what's causing it.
I use my SIM contacts instead of phone contacts and when I hit the default htc dialer(phone app) the screen opens up and it is supposed to show me my contacts but instead it shows me absolutely nothing, maybe after 20-30 seconds later it shows me my contacts. I tried to resolve the issue using the phone contacts instead of sim contacts but still the same problem.
Anyone else noticed something like this?
Edit: Another thing I just noticed is that, to the left of the home button, right where the screen meets the edge of the phone, it seems like there is a tiny gap where I can see a white light when the screen is turned on, it only happens when I hold the phone on a certain angle but I thought it was weird.It doesn't happen on the right side.
1st: maybe you would transfer your contact from you sim to your phone,then delete all the contact in your sim, that 's what i do now, in this way, you can synchronize your contace via google later.
2nd: this is the comon issue for desire s, and i think it's not a big one, because it don't hinder our daily use of our phone.
thanks man

[Q] [BUG] - Not waking up from standby and not switching off!

Hi,
I got my Moto G on the weekend (Unlocked from Tesco Mobile for £2.04, thanks ebay)
However, on one occasion, the phone would not turn the screen off until I held the power button for 10 seconds to reboot it.
But more often (a few times every day), the phone will not wake up from standby until I do the same to reboot it. This morning this alarm clock to fail, so this could be an issue.
Does anyone else have the same issue and know of a fix?
Thanks!
Whichs apps do you have installed? Are you rooted? Did you already try a factory reset?

Do the issue exist if you don't add a Google account? Have you restored old settings through Google backup?

I havent restored settings after a reboot, but i have noticed that I get reboots when I am editing google contacts on the phone....
Crappy sleep of death issue .... Seems moto g is having battery issues...
Mm not battery issues its just SW issues.
Simply fixed but will need an update.
Little tweeks like on a phone call when i move the phone away from my ear to open dialer to enter details on an automated service the screen won't come on until I press the power button twice. Once to lock and once to unlock. Then I can bring up dialler
Its due to all the little refinements in power management but it will get fixed.
I personally can live with the little niggles just now for the amazing 3.5-4 hours screen on time I'm getting.
Yest under heavy mobile data use it went a full 14 hours with the 3.5hours screen in time. It was great because I basically done all my Christmas shopping on my phone and checked store prices when out.
If its rebooting often enough I would do a fresh install and start again.
THE BIGGEST thing I found that made a difference in this phone and I think moto should highlight this is:
Do not import previous phone settings on initial start up. This somehow beings weird and wonderful phone settings over and seems to play Havoc with the overall performance of the device be it battery life or connectivity.
I ended up wiping the device in factory reset and on the section on initial set up about backup and restore I unchecked the second option of restore my device settings. Left everything else and since the phone has worked as it should.
My only issue is the power and volume keys location in my car holder means it can be powered off by the holder doh. So I'm looking for a new one which doesn't hug my buttons lol

Thanks for your help guys, I was still getting random sleeps of death and random reboots so I took the device back to tesco.
They were quick to replace it and I will let you know if I am still getting these issues.
Don't import any old settings, do it manually or you could (if you have the software) do a migrate from My Backup Pro, which I used to migrate pics, contacts, call logs & sms from my old phone with zero issues. My phone hasn't rebooted or had any issues whatsoever. I suspect you just had a faulty unit. Mine is an unlocked tesco16gb too.
rare problem

Cant dismiss Alarm?

Hello and pretty much as the title says for some reason I cannot dismiss my alarm. If I dismiss it it turns itself back on a few seconds and sometimes minutes later. I first noticed this on Blisspop but I have since clean wiped (including locally stored files) and put CM12 back on but oddly the problem is still occurring.
Has anybody else had this problem?
PS I did have a good google around but cannot seem to find something that related to my problem :\

I'm on Blisspop unofficial that include CAF kernel... And i don't facing that kind of problem...
Are you sure that you are dismiss it, instead of just snooze it?
Hello, definitely dismissing it. I decided to wipe every bit of info\data etc on the phone so that nothing is left, installed CM12 again, without GAPPS so that it cant pull any settings that might be stored on my google account and guess what? Even on a pretty much blank rom I am still getting the same issue :\. Now starting to think it could be hardware but it seems very unlikely.
I have been facing same problem. It comes back after I dismiss an upcoming alarm after turn off the screen and turn it back on, it comes back. Any suggestions?
Same issue on CM12.1 ROM I'm using. I dismiss the upcoming alarm, but most of the time it activates back.

No notification sounds? [FIXED]

Has happened here twice. Had to reboot to fix it. My worry is that this could happen during the night so that the phone won't wake me up in the morning (the alarms don't sound either - in fact no sound at all can be played, be it from ringer, notifications, Spotify or YouTube).
Hasn't occurred now for three days, but I've rebooted each day due to separate issue which involves not notifications not being received unless I open the app (happens in Facebook Messenger and Signal).

Unfortunately it's back
Was able to find out the cause... Was the hike app intefering with system sounds.
Once notifications start coming up without sound, clear away the hike app from recents.. should fix the issue... Atleast it did for me
I'm noticing the exact same issue. Sitting here WATCHING my phone ring and making no sound. What exactly is the "hike" app? Is that something you've installed or is it a native app? I don't think I have that on my phone so I'm looking for a solution.

Its a third party app like WhatsApp... I'm certain the issue you are facing is due to a third party app... Next time the sound stops, try clearing your recent apps... And see if that fixes the issue ...
I'm having the same issue and I do not have the hike app

It could as well be another third party app... Doesn't necessarily have to be hike..... Try and see if clearing your recent apps fixes the issue for you
What does clearing mean? Like delete my apps?

I am also running into this issue. Im still in the process of uninstalling apps one by one to narrow it down if it is an app thats causing it. Has anyone pin pointed what is causing this? Im almost ready to factory reset the phone and add the apps back one by one but I would rather not spend the time.

I had that same issue with certain apps. For me though, I didn't realize the extent of Data Saver and had to allow Gmail and whatnot to have unrestricted access and then they started popping in right away.
You wouldn't happen to use Data Saver on your phone?
Just a thought
Cheers!
I appear to have this issue however, safe mode, factory resetting, etc does not fix it. I do not get notification/phone/music sounds.
This issue is still there even after the 8.1 update... Anyone got it fixed?
For me the notifications won't make any sounds, they pop up but silently. I tried playing some music and the speaker works, I also didn't have any issue with alarms. Just notifications.

I have a Nexus 6P and my wife has a Pixel XL and we were both having the same issue with 8.1, no notification sound with text messages and call ring tone. I did most of the suggestions that I have found online (factory reset, clear cache/data in messaging app, change sound) but none of them worked. I was about to downgrade to 8.0 but I saw that both of the apps (messages and phone) were being "optimized". I disabled battery optimization on messages and phone, rebooted and so far it seems to have fixed it. My only guess is that they optimized those apps a little too much. Good luck.

I also noticed the issue on v8.1 that I flashed a few days ago. Thought it would have been fixed by now. Ended up downgrading to v7.1.2 again to fix the issue.
Oreo is NOT ready for prime time in my opinion.

Gmail not pushing

Been noticing lately on the S8+ that my emails through the Gmail app arent coming through. I'm receiving no notifications about them unless i open the app and pull it down to refresh. Was working fine when I first received the phone, not sure if anyone else is experiencing this? On T-mobile.
Only thing I can think is maybe something I disabled in package disabler but i doubt thats it. I didnt touch anything to do with gmail
Never had this problem, however for non Gmail accounts added to it, i.e. outlook, after deleting an email, a minute later, the email will reappear. It's getting rather annoying, especially when in deleting 5 at a time, they just come back and seem to go away after the 2nd deletion

I've had the same issue. If i delete them from the lock screen, they show deleted. Reappear for a second, buzz and then vanish. this happened on my stock nexus 6 as well so its not a GS8 thing.

Yes i also had a Nexus 6 and the problem was there too and also sorry I didn't read your post properly but I do get the problem you have. When I go to the app, pull the side panel which shows my email accounts, there will be a badge number over it and I have to pull down to refresh. Same problem happened on my Nexus 6 as well, most likely an app problem

hopefully its an app problem. they also need to fix that delete/double notification thing. especially when you delete like 10 emails, it then buzzes 10 times. super annoying

Any updates on this, I'm no longer getting push notifications for my Outlook account. I have to physically go and refresh.

Yea I am still not receiving emails unless I go in and refresh. This is weird because gmail worked on this phone properly, not sure why it randomly stopped. I tried to send an email and it got stuck on "queued" for a little and then sat on sending for a few seconds as well.
All other push notifications are working fine, instagram, facebook, snapchat, text messages, nest, etc... but gmail isn't working. Not sure if its something i turned off in package disabler? did you use that app at all?
update. i have no idea what i did but its working again.
i went into every gmail setting possible, turned it off and back on again. i forced my google account to resync. i disabled notifications and turned them back on. i disabled network access in the background, then turned it back on. ive tested it a few times by sending emails to myself. i also received a notification from a newsletter as well. it is working for now and im happy. hopefully it doesnt stop.
Yep, not sure what's happening with Gmail but I had this issue now on my Nexus6p....
next question, does anyone know how to get rid of the annoying double notification when deleting an email from the notification bar? if its on my lock screen and i expand them and then delete, it deletes and then a split second later it pops up again and vibrates then vanishes. same thing happened on my stock nexus 6
