Has anyone had this thing happen?
It happened twice to me. the first time the phone was sitting on my desk, I had not interacted with it for a couple hours and it suddenly started speaking.
The second time I was using a banking app and it started speaking i don't speak Portuguese but I recognise it because of the accent. Both times it said the same thing.
My phone is set up in English, Talkback and all the Accessibility options are off.
The first time it happened there were no apps open, not even in the background and the second time, as I said, i was using a banking app.
Has anyone had this happen to you? What could it be?

My Tilt is waking up every night around 12:25 am. Since I also use it as my pager, I have to leave it accessible. It sits in a desktop charger. Hence, the light shines in my face and wakes me up (the backlight is turned down at night, but it's still enough).
So, why is it waking (me) up? Is it time for me to pee? Is it thirsty?
I don't see any running appts or anything that would cause this. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Turn it over!!
Soz....
while charging if you press the power button ( for standby) the light will be off but it will still be in use. It wil come out of the standby as soon as there is some message or call

Ehm... so what you are saying that he is getting called or gets a text EVERY night at 12:35 am? thats a bit obvious isnt it?
My tilt wakes me up every night but the reason is cause I'm addicted to flashing the phone lol

Nothing nefarious here...
I am not receiving any texts or calls at that hour. Emails do not wake the device day or night. There are no "notifications" that need to be cleared. I had spb Time running, but deleted it (I think it was slowing things down). Sprite runs nightly at 10pm.
Is there any other place where something may be scheduled?
By the way, not that it's related, but my old Treo (years ago, 600 or 650, can't remember) had a flaw where it would wake up every night at exactly 1:30 a.m. or something. This turned out to be a system flaw that was present on everyone's device.
I had a similar problem a year ago or more.
It woke me up very early a couple of times and I was to tired to check out why.
It turned out that If I created full day events, the default reminder time was 18 hours before as default, so it woke me up at 06.00.
So now when I create full day events with reminder, I have to set it to f.ex. 10 hours before.
And I still haven't figured out where to change the default value from 18 to 10 in outlook.. Pretty annoying.
P.S. If you are using push mail and you don't want to get mail during a period. Go into Active Sync -> Menu -> Scheduling. And define a day and nigh sync. So it doesn't check mail during nighttime.
Still happening nightly. I'm half delirious whenever it happens, but I think the actual time is 01:45 or so.
I do not have any events like you described in my calendar. I am not using push email.
Any other suggestions?

Check with your power company. Maybe they are switching power grids about that time and it causes a 'brown-out'? The phone will always spring to life from sleep if the charge is removed then replaced.
In my area, this happens at around 00:30, somtimes OK, sometimes all the power drops for a split second.
I assume you mean the alarm goes off by itself? (It is possible to set alarms that only use the light, no sound.) I had this problem; the first day I got my Kaiser I stayed up late playing around with it and tested the alarm at around 2:45 am before going to sleep. The following two nights, even though I no longer had this 2:45 alarm in the clock settings, the Kaiser woke me up during the night, but I was too tired to check what was going on.
I remembered it was probably 2:45 am when the night alarms went off, so I figured my earlier alarm was somehow running in the background. What I did was, set a new alarm at 2:45 am, on the same slot that the old 2:45 was on (the first slot), set it on all weekdays, then toggle it on and off. I was hoping this would somehow ovrewrite/reset the information about the "ghost alarm", and I guess it did, since the Kaiser no longer goes berserk during the night.
Maybe there is some sort of bug or illogical functionality with the dismiss/snooze system in the alarms? Since the Kaiser has been around for a while I thought someone else would have run into it & figured it out.
my kaiser sometiems wakes up by itself too - i reckon theres some ackground task or process running that touches something inside and that wakes the device up - i dont know what causes it or why - simplest thing ive found is to literally just cover it up - bit 'hacky' but it does me fine - im not bothered if it does wake up just so long as it doesnt wake me up!
cant beleive you guys get nightly brown-outs - thats just crap - doesnt happen in this country
Ive got some issues i want to confirm im not the only one having with the software...
1. I just dont get some of the notifications from apps ... Im a Clash royale player and i never get notifications when a chest is unlocked etc
pretty annoying, even tho i checked the settings for the app and notifications are enabled. no idea what to do
2. I have some strange guy occasionaly speaking suddenly even when the phone is not touched (happen to speak in spanish)
and im not living in a country that has spanish as main language... just weird and ive no idea how to fix that aswell
3. Google assistant, I cannot enable her when my operation system is set to Hebrew language, even tho i set her to operate in english, the only possibility to enable her is if i change the whole system's language to English, which is quite silly.
4. Bluetooth priority issue, Im a Galaxy watch user aswell, I wanna prioritize my phone to auto connect to my phone when it detects it (that works well), but when im entering my car I want it to give higher priority to my car for music and taking calls, anyone knows if that can be done ?
hopefully ill get some answers here, gonna search for Huawei's forums to bring these up aswell :crying:

Hi, check your notification sounds. There is eventually an app notification configured with a sound that isn't on the phone. Then it comes to this strange behavior. I had the same in russian.
I tried to change it to something in the phone but its not working. Huawei sucks.. So many problems

I had that until I stopped the aggressive app killing process. Go to setting - battery - app auto launch - find the app and take it off auto! Apps behave fine then but at the cost of a bit of battery.
Hi all,
I'm at the end of my tether as my P20 Pro has started glitching incessently.
It's vibrating randomly (and regularly) and any time I try and go into an app it kicks me out within a second or two. I've not dropped my phone, it's not been in water and it's really starting to p*ss me off as I literally can't even send a text/WhatsApp without being booted out.
I've had the phone around 20 months and the cynic in me thinks Huawei may have deliberately bugged it to force me into buying a new phone. I've tried deleting unused apps, clearing cache, deleting old gallery videos etc but it hasn't made a single bit of difference.
I know there are a lot of posts on here about notification issues and random vibrating but this is definintely nothing to do with notifications. I've loved this phone since I got it but the past week or two have seriously p*ssed me off and I just want to smash the phone!
If anyone could help I'd be forever in your debt!!!:fingers-crossed:
Cheers
Slim

When it's vibrating is anything happening in the notification bar?? Mine started doing that last week and it was a call app I had installed. It could be you have to go through the notification settings for each app. Is there any particular application that you are noticing it on? Sorry for the questions. I hope you are OK x

Hi mate,
No nothing shows in notifications when it vibrates. It's actually a different type of vibration than you would get for a normal notification as well. It's a very rapid vibration that comes and goes. Initially it started kicking me out of my camera gallery and then started happening on other apps as well (Google search, Golf Clash, Snapchat etc). It's settled down the last couple of hours but I know it'll flare up randomly again at some point!:crying:
I also have problems with people trying to hear me on phone calls as well but assume that's probably a completely separate issue!
Cheers

Instead of smashing the phone I would suggest factory restore.

Have you ran the support app see if it's a hardware issue? I'd try and do a factory reset if that does not work because its difficult to diagnose. I hope you are staying safe x

I use a fingerprint lock and after the last update I get this message quite a bit, perhaps hourly. It used to occur about every two days, which probably wasn't enough, but now having to type my rather complex password a dozen times per day is annoying. It's not like I even sat the phone down -- it stays in my pocket and sometimes does this despite never leaving my hand. I even use "SmartLock" with my bluetooth watch, which hasn't helped. Any idea short of a firmware downgrade to improve this?

I never have to use a password except just after a reboot, so having to do it once every two days is already abnormal to me
And I use smartlock with a bluetooth watch as well, that smart lock will ask me to use fingerprint after some idle time though
I searched for this issue for close to a month will no resolve.
Today I finally read what I've been experiencing!
My phone would jump to lock screen asking for pin while it was in in use with google apps and 3rd party apps.
I also had smartlock active @ home, my vehicle and BT devices.
In my vehicle while navigating with maps and on my bike using a trail map app it would go black screen/pin. It would also happen with spotify the screen would go black but ask for pin when screen was touched.
At home it would be in the news feed, messenger, FB, etc.....black screen/lock screen.
Numerous factory wipes and 3rd party apps deletions didn't resolve.
I started the warranty process with google. I wasted time with their CSR trying to T/S online. , I went to ubreakifix 3 times at google's insistence to get it rechecked, ubreakifix duplicated the issue and couldn't do anything for me.
They recommended replacement.
Google was hesitant because ubreakifix couldn't confirm a hardware issue. Ubreakifix wouldn't and couldn't diagnose hardware because they have no replacement parts for the Pixel 5.
Google agreed but would not send a device until my was sent back. They suggested going through my wireless provider for a loaner. My provider did but then they sent it off to their repair center instead of Google and found nothing abnormal and sent it back to me.
I just got it back yesterday after 2 weeks, I had one lock up yesterday.
I read that last night's security update resolved a "sensor" issue and I'm hoping that was the original issue.
This device is not on my recommended list.
I miss my 3XL, the size, the haptics, the squeeze are things I miss from that phone.
My kid reminded me everyday for the 10 days I was without mine.

This happened to me just once last night. Not sure why/what triggered it but fortunately it only has happened the one time.
My phone randomly talks something about the time, I'm not getting what she saying (woman voice).
Talkback option is off, I checked that one.
What is this, this is so annoying and creepy.
This is not the first bug, since I bought this phone.
Anyone can help me?
Something put into clock settings?
I found this similar problem, I have exactly the same:
"A couple days ago I started hearing a womans voice at random times, like I had butt dialed someone, but I could Identify where it was coming from. Then while I was scrolling on my phone I hear something something "time". Finally in the middle of the night when everything else was quiet I hear it clear as a bell. A robotic female voice saying "it is time". No notification. No background apps running. I've done a few things to check those things and can't find anything. It is slightly annoying. But more so, creepy AF. Any help would be appreciated."
It's Big Brother sending you subliminal messages
Don't see what it could be other than a notification related thing...something you already forgot that you enabled. There are SO many settings, I doubt I could bring my phone to the same exact config after a factory default.
Try using the notification history feature to track this ghost down.
This sounds like an accessibility setting turned on to me

Ah, yes. That must be it. Good thinking.
I'm betting that you will find the culprit in Bixby Routines. It's under Advanced features.
your question is your phone talks about time, for that u will have to search on google ..
I tried everything, but couldn't helped. I did a factory reset. I always hate to do that, because It takes to much time to put back everything and set up, but at least it helped.
Thanks to everyone.
