Z5 Sound and Notification problem after update

[Collo98]

On my Z5 it started after the last update. My phone seems to silence itself but not as in silent mode it won't even vibrate, or ring or anything really. The notifications just appear on the screen. Once I unlock the phone and press the increase volume button it shows the volume full but a line through the bell symbol. I press the volume button again and all sound is restored to notifications etc for a limited amount of time. Some help would be great tired of missing calls ha

Thankyou

Hi @Collo98,

Sorry to hear this, I understand that it most be frustrating for you.

How often would you say this happens, more than once every day?

Have you tried restarting your phone into safe mode to see if this still happens? Safe mode temporarily disables downloaded applications so if this happens to be caused by one you should not experience it in safe mode. I understand that it might be hard to test depending on how often this happens but it would be a way to rule out that an app is the cause.

Please let me know what you find.

Hi thankyou for your reply.

It happens multiple times throughout the day, I keep checking my phone turning it back up all the time.

I changed it to safe mode and I don't believe it done it while on that. So I deleted my last three apps I'd downloaded but hasn't repaired the issue

@Collo98 Sorry to hear that uninstalling some of your apps didn't solve this. I'm afraid that there is no easy way to troubleshoot something like this. Another way would be to uninstall all of your download apps, then install those that are essential for you and continue from there until you encounter the one(s) that causes this behaviour. I understand that this can be inconvenient though.

Hi @madmatt32, I'm sorry to hear this.

Do you get no ringtone as well as no sound during the call itself, as in you can't hear the person calling you? Have you been able to test safe mode as well?
