Hello,
My wizard no longer rings when i receive a message. Rings just fine when i receive a phone call, but just displays the notification when receiving a message.
I've checked the sound options and it is set to the default Notify sound, that plays if i press the test button.
What is going on? How can i fix this?
Thanks in advance
any software you used to play sounds files? there reported cases where there are some confusion on the program to use to play files. Just to be sure, why using the same file (the notify default sound) as your ring tone, and see if it works. Also try with the same found file with Reminders.

How can I get my xda to make a sound when a sms message arrives ?
Have ticked the box in sounds and notifications for new sms message but still it remains quiet when a message arrives.
When you select the soundfile for a SMS-message and press the "play-button" to preview it, does it sound then?
If not, the file could be in a format that your PDA can't play.
It sounds absolutely fine using the test button, just doesn't work for an incoming message.

Problem solved, the previous page also reqires a box to be checked !

Have a strange prob with my QTek9100.. suddenly it doesn't ring anymore... no matter what kind of ring tones i set in the options, I only get silence instead of the sound. When selecting ring and vibrate i get alternating vibrate and silence.. I tried custom rings thru registry editing and standard ring modes from the phone options.. no change -- always silence...
Any ideas on how to fix this? currently I only hear that I had the phone call after I missed it and the missed call notification plays -- which is kinda stupid to only hear the phone after the call is missed
thanks...
Do you install a new bluetooth stack?
nope... didn't install anything really that i know of.. and definitely no system apps.
open Settings / Sounds & Notifications / Notifications and select event "Phone: Incoming call"
does pressing the play (right facing triangle) button play your ring tone? If not, try selecting another ring tone and try playing that.
could be ring tone is selected, but not available or incorrect format.
hope this helps.

message alert tone
Soory to other you but nobody is answering my blog, and you seem to have solved my problem. When i try to change my message alert tone ,hte only options i am given are the default message alerts, ive tried copying tones into the windows ring folder but still only get default tonesthe previuos process works fine for my ring tone, can you help?
Your notifications have to be in wav format. Or they will not work.
-This goes into the /windows folder
Ringtones can be in midi/wav or mp3 format
-This goes to the /windows/ringtones
Here are some wav files I made which you can try out

Does anyone know how to stop the ringer for my text messages to stop ringing so long? I cut it like a regular ringtone, so its like 20-30 seconds and I can open the message, slide up the screen and send a reply and it will still be going. The only way to stop it is to lower the volume while its ringing and turn it back up after its done. Is there a trick in the settings or a way in the registry??
Also, on my A630 I was surprised when I first found out that, for instance the ringer that goes off for my girlfriend when she called would also go off when she sent a text message...on this phone, which is far superior, only the default text message ringtone plays no matter who it is, is there a way to change that??
It will play the entire SMS wav file. no way of stopping. So, put a short one there.
No, as far as I know of customizing SMS alert tone to contacts.
I set my default notification ringtone to Guitar 2.
However it only plays when I receive emails. When I receive SMS, another ringtone plays (The default one that comes with the phone). No matter how many times I change it ... It just seems to play that one tone.
make sure you check it in your SMS program as well (open the program, menu>settings)
