Don't feel alone, I have the same problem sometimes. For example; yesterday I got a text message and it audibly informed me, a few text messages later I noticed that the screen would light up and tell me I got a text and even vibrate but no sound? It's a little flaky! I am going to post feedback to Apple with this problem.

I would also suggest that anyone who is having problems with their iPhone to inform Apple via their feedback form at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
 
i think its all the 3G phones, it has to do with the firmware, but im just worried that its hardware, but it shouldn't be.
 
Still does it

So the new update has been out and I assume most everyone has updated. I have updated and still have the alert sound issues. Anyone else have comments? :confused: :confused:
 
Funny you bring that up. I had similar issues and was given a replacement at the Genius Bar.

They went through a full restore and the problem persisted. I was given a new phone and I have yet to update it 2.0.1

Well, doing a restore solves this issue for the time being, but the problem always come back. I don't live close to an apple store so I have a feeling when I go, they will reset it and it will work for them right then.
