i am having a problem where my alarms / reminders do not sound. the phone awknowledges that i have an alarm by vibrating but does not make a sound. i have the top switch on ring, the volume all the way up on the ring and speaker but it does not work. tried hard and soft reset and either did not work, anyone ever seen this?

Check your sounds and notifications settings. Make sure that you have selected the right sounds.

The path is: Settings/Personal/Sounds & Notifications.

Did they work at some point? If you did a hard reset (and didn't install or restored from a backup) and they still didn't work then that might be a defective device in your hands.

More info is needed please.

i made sure i selected sounds that were working, and it made noise when i selected them, but right after hard reset i got nothing. sounds like your right about it being defective i was just hoping it may have been a problem i could fix. kinda working around it by using the alarm EXE from the LG menu cab. but ill device swap and post what happens

Did you recently add any sort of media player that might have changed your audio file associations?

Have you flashed a new rom/radio, if so before you call your carrier, or walk into a store, flash to the newest rom from your carrier.

1) you can check the sounds then
2) you will be covered by your carrier

found it out.

seems i was restoring the wrong backup with PIMBackup from my touch phone and apparently it had something to do with restoring the texts from my touch to my 800w. so i restored my contacts via bluetooth from a hard reset and my reminders and alarms are working again.

also someone before had mentioned that opera 9.5 created issues with reminders i got the official beta from opera.com and i dont have these issues either.

and so far there are no custom roms for the 800w. unfortunatly....
