Cellular Phone Forum / Manufacturers / Motorola / September 2007Unexplained midnight action on a V3
Hi For the last six nights a have been woke up by my Motorola V3. Exactly at 12 o/clock midnight, it emits a series of fine sounds.ting, ting, ting etc.for 30 seconds. I have had the phone for eight month. Never set any alarms or schedules. Checked everything and have not come up with something that would cause this action. Don't even have that specific tinging sound in my ring selections. Anyone came across this problem or has any solutions how to solve it before I throw the phone out of the window? John Check the alarm settings again. It may be on. If not, try removing the battery for 30 seconds. > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > John Thanks for your suggestions Bruce. Unfortunately it did not solve my problem...Same thing happened again last night. Any other suggestions other then a steam roller? John > Check the alarm settings again. It may be on.

If the problem still won't go away and you don't use alarms anyway, then you could set the alarm alert as 'silent' and at least you won't hear it. > Thanks for your suggestions Bruce.

Maybe that will help. I noticed when I had an appointment scheduled, the phone would sound off at midnight for some reason.

Sounds simple but that doesn't work if he needs to leave it on for emergency calls or if he is in an "on-call" position like a surgeon or service tech. > Turn the phone off when you go to sleep. > ======================================================== > Remove the ZZZ from my E-mail address to send me E-mail. I would have mine turned off and plugged into the charger and it would still chime at midnight.

It chimes at midnight when turned OFF? Even with the charger plugged in that doesn't seem possible. Are you sure it's not something ELSE in your bedroom that's the culprit? > I would have mine turned off and plugged into the charger and it > would still chime at midnight. Go figure.......

Many people are in denial and won't go see a shrink when they need to.

I had the exac same problem for months. My phone would do it every night at exactl 12:02 a.m. It would emit this loud, annoying beep (also not incude anywhere in my sounds menu). I too had to keep the phone on fo emergency purposes. It was driving me INSANE. Until one night when watched the phone when it happened. For a split second it said somethin on the front screen like "updating contacts" or something like that. then discovered that every night at a certain time, the program check your phone to see if you have added any new contacts on the phone tha need to be added to your contacts online. There is a place within th program where you can pick when you want your contacts to be checked. picked a time when I would be up and awake when it wouldn't bother me Right now I have my alerts turned off completely which means it doesn' make the sound at all anymore. If this does end up being what you problem is from then that is another option. You can either go into th menu to where you have the sounds for alerts and pick none or change th time of day the phone updates. Let me know how you make out |
