sms notifications not working anymore! - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

hello,
I'm having a strange problem where my sms notification just won't happen.
when i recieve an sms, all that happens is on my today screen, the "no unread messages" will change to "1 unread message" (or whatever the text is), and thats it.
in my sounds and notifications screen i have it set to
1) play a sound
2) vibrate
3) flash the top right light indefinitely
4) display on screen notification (i assume this is the bit where it pops the bubble down with the message text in it)
it doesnt do any of this!
and it doesn't seem to make a difference if i turn off all the notifications, or turn some of them on, it still doesn't work.
it seems to have happened since it hard reset itself a couple of weeks ago... i dont think it's worked since then..
thanks guys.

Exact Match
Hello,
I've got the same problem, when I check sounds and notifications screen and tap the PLAY icon the notify sound sounds ok, I select another sound for testing.
Sending a sms doesn't trigger the newly selected sound.
Can someone post the registry hive to check if something went wrong in the registry?
Thanx in Advance, annoying that SMS notifications doesn't work anymore..

I Didn't hard reset whatsoever.... so little difference.

In the end i think i fixed this by hard resetting again.. sorry! it was a few months ago now.

No notification when receive a text/sms in sleep mode

Hey guys- I just got my MDA on Monday, and love it. I have done all sorts of reg hacks and have made this device truely awesome. I have one problem though. If I am in class, or work, I put the device in sleep (or standby mode), to save battery life. THe problem that I have is that I do not get a notification when I receive a text. When I get a call, itll wake up and vibrate and everything, but nothing happens when I get messages.
It happens when I have it on vibrate, or on loud.
Under Settings : Sounds and Notifications, I have the boxes checked for Sounds Tab, "Events", "Programs" and under that "Notifications (alarms, reminders)"
Then in the Notifications Tab, I have all boxes selected for the "Messaging: New Text message".
What I would like to happen, is receive a nice long vibration, so that I know that I have a message. I would also like the screen to come on with a notification so that I know that I have a message.
From what I have read, the screen will come on, then go back off, but I need it to stay on.
Any Ideas???

That's quite diffirent, i have all boxes checked for the "Messaging: New Text Message" and i alwayls received a screen to come on with a notification when a sms came even my device is in sleep mode
There is should be some problem with your device regarding its notification functions.
If you are using other software which can set ring/notification profiles, pls try to remove it
If problem still persists, i believe only a hardreset could bring it back to normal
Good luck

Disable notifications?

I have to wade through so many notification messages every time I switch on my phone, its so annoying and there's no apparant way to stop them. Right infront of me, we have email notifications, sms notifications, alarm notifications, calendar notifications, and a battery warning notification! arrggh!! I can't access the calendar hardware button without clearing all these notifications first.
So, into 'sound and notification' settings and disable them right?
Wrong. It doesn't seem to make any difference. I've gone through each event such as 'Messaging: New email message', and 'Messaging: New text message', etc, and taken the tick out of 'display message on screen' but still I can't access the hardware button on the today screen without clearing the notifications first.
The search criteria required for answers to this problem online is too vague, you just hit on other subjects regarding notifications that are nothing to do with this. Can anyone offer some suggestions?
Thanks.

Which ROM are you running?
RE: annoying notifications
I couldnt agree more!
This happens with every ROM i have used including 2003, wm5 and now wm6 black 3.5.
The one I really want to get rid of is the battery low notifications.
Jees, it drives me mad.
Surely just altering a reg key?? I did a search in there but wasnt sure exactly where to look!
Hi, I'm having the same issue. I want to get rid of the missed call notification messages that pop up all the time. The missed call icon is enough, I don't need the message as well! It's very frustrating.
it's the notification queue
..and it's a known issue. hard reset will definitely cure it, or you could use scarybear's "check notifications" or similar to clear it.
I really hate the low battery warning icon nagging me when 40% of battery is still left!! help !

Incoming SMS no notification ...

Hi,
Upgrade to WM6 for the BA, but when there is an incoming sms the device won't notify and LED light no indication at all when the device in standby mode. after wake up the device then i can see there is new sms there. anyone can help ???
same problem here.. not even a sound to know of an incoming sms...
Yep, I get the same thing.
No red light, no sound, nothing. Then I wake it from sleep, and the message appears with sound and led.
Very annoying.
Same prob
Same problem with my BA
Use some app which replaces the SMS notification with its own for example freeware SmileySMS - you can find it in the Development and Hacking section of this forum.
i've already test with my XDA IIs and it work fine, when i receive sms in standy mode, i still receive notification by red light, sound notification, and vibrate.
It seems to be random with mine...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
hi.. the problem of flash red l ight and sond cant be corrected on "sound and notifications"
for sms work fine (inclusive on sleep mode) you must let the messaging program run on memory on the ba. if you close the program, you could not for mose times recive sms . this issue is on wm5 to..
sorry for the ingles
Gee ! i have the same problem . i noticed that after reading this thread Duhh.. hey wtf ? how to fix that ? i understand now why ive been missing all ma messages . ANY FIX PLEASE ????
I had the same issue, and I managed to solve it by going to Sounds & Notifications->Notifications
Select Event: Messaging: New text message
disabled "Play sound", pressed OK
enabled again "Play sound", pressed OK (I also enabled Vibrate)
Don't know if it was because of this, but it is working now (Made reset and it still works).
Didnt work for me
Sorry to hear that. As I said, I don't know if it was that (try different enabled/disabled combinations for Messaging: New text message maybe?).
I also installed WM6_SoundFix_.cab from the AddOn.rar file.
I think this trick worked for me too... But when the BA is on sleep mode.. the alert will only trigger on the second incoming SMS. I have tried this several times.

I am not sure if the notification tone will cause this problem. I try alarm5 (which is in ROM), it works. With other tones, sometimes it only sound halfway. Also, the text messaging program must be running in background.
If you switch off BA when the screen is in text messaging, it will sound on incoming sms, but LED not red.
u need enabled this in "Sound&Notification-New text message-flash light". Red led work, no problem
please cheque returns your program
is there software contra
example smile sms

i just installed SecretSMS and i think it helps me with this SMS notification probelm tho not completely. It manages to play the sms notification but doesn't show up the screen.. well i think it's better than nothing, right?
however, anyone know how to set rules for SecretSMS? i try to find a manual, but, ... not found - -~
There are two files,SoundFix.cab & WM6_SoundFix.cab
I have installed those,the sounds very well

No audio alert on new text message

Hi guys
I wondered how I was missing all the texts my mates were sending me and then I found that when I get a text the sound is not working for some reason.
I've checked the sounds are there and working - it's set to "Rooster" sound which is fine (have tried others too) and the volume is turned up (ringtones work fine) but it still won't make sound when a text comes in.
I've done a soft reset etc but still not fixed it. Is there some other setting it could be?
Everything I can think of is right but there must be some other reason why there is no noise when I receive a text.
Any ideas please?! Thanks
try settings / sounds and notifications / enable sounds .... check if the box for events is ticked and the notifications too...
hope this helps
Notifications was switched on as that's what controls the sound settings for texts/MMS/email etc, but Events shouldn't need to be on and I don't normally have it enabled.
Cheers for the suggestion and I've turned it on anyway just in case but I don't think it's that.
Disable the New SMS notification option on "Sounds and notifications", then reset your device, after you reset try to go and enable the new sms notification again ! then try and see if iti works !
i had the same problem with my HD 1.14 with arabic poackage rom, I flash it with 1.19 and the problem didnt go till I made the disable-reset-enable !

Thanks folks - have tried/checked both those options and no result yet.
What is the ringtone you have selected ? Make sure that the file for the selected ringtone is available under the Windows folder.
By trial and error, I found that SMS ringtones are picked up from Windows folder only, whereas all the other tones (incoming call, reminder etc) are picked up from Windows/Rings or My Documents/My Ringtones folders.
Hope this helps .....
Cheers !!
For some reason, I did another reset and it seems to have cured it. Weird!!
Thanks very much for the help guys.

Sound notification problem?

Right,
It seems that sometimes I am getting problems with my sound notifications. Basically the SMS or Email notification sometimes works fine, like normal. Then other times, I get a SMS or Email come through on my HD2, but the sound notification doesn't go off? I don't have the phone on silent, nor vibrate. So I Have to reset the HD2 in order for the notifications to work again.
Anyone else coming across this problem? If so, how did you get "around" it?
Cheers.
Bump.......

Have you changed the manila language?
No, I can only understand English, so wouldn't have changed the language settings in Manila.
Go to:
Settings>All settings>Sounds & Notifications>Notification Tab.
And see what you can do with all those settings there,it took me some time to customize them all to my liking,it is working very well now.

All the same settings since I set the phone up from new (about 2 weeks ago).
Dunno what it is, but I can remember I used to have the same problem on my HTC Kaiser (aka : MDA Vario III)
Grr..
Do you use the 3.5mm jack often? (ie. headphones, speakers, etc. for listening to music/movies) If so, when you unplug them from your phone, your sound settings will automatically turn off/slient. Not necessarily silent or vibrate mode, just off/lowest volume setting. This has been happening to me since day one even with custom ROM. Don't know how else to fix it. I just always change the volume settings right after I unplug.

I've found that since upgrading to the most recent T-Mobile ROM on the website, when I get a text or email the phone will play all of the message or email alert, even if I open the text or email, it continues! Very annoying.
