No Vibrate on incoming text messages

I was screwing around in HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Inbox/Svc trying to delete my outlook account, and when i deleted the folder i noticed that my phone stopped vibrating when i received text messages or emails.
I have since updated the ROM from the HTC website and the outlook account has come back, but i'm still not getting any vibration on messages.
Does anyone know how i can get it to vibrate again?
And i'm still looking for a way to remove the outlook safely - any ideas?
thanks

i know this is simple but is worth a shot if you havent already;
check sounds and notifications (in settings)
check in the notifications tab using drop down menu

Yeah - i have vibrate checked there. it totally sucks because i have to keep looking at my phone to tell if i have a new message

Try installing third party apps like phone alarm and use their profile settings to set vibrate - see if that works.

Ringtone problem..

Hi,
I have a problem with my HTC P4350, if i receive a call i cant hear the ringtone, he's vibrating non-stopp..
It was so in WM5 also in WM6
the installed programs is TOMTOM and Chi-Tai Dang Batterystatus TD-Plugin.
Can annybody help me with my problem ?

could have something to do with your calendar appointments. i cant remember where the setting is, but there is one that automatically turns the phone to vibe whenever you have an appointment. Although using the volume bars on the side should overide it.

Do you have your ringtones stored on your storage card?
I have a T-mobile Wing (P4350) and from reading in these forums, it seems to be an HTC bug affecting various phones, where it seems the phone sometimes loses the storage card (which it seems is a problem which also leads to corrupted cards) ... anways, if your phone rings and the phone "can't find" the ringtone file, it simply just vibrates with no sound. This is the same type of issue, that happens when you have programs installed on your storage card that error when the phone is turned on, and the storage card driver hasn't loaded yet.
I suggest placing the ringtones you use on the device memory .. and that may solve your problem... that way the ringtones are there and the device doesn't have to look for them when it rings.
I also had a problem, where I was using SPB mobile shell/phone suite and there is an icon on the today screen, which sets up ringing profiles .. and sometimes, due to a bug or something, the settings on my phone would be changed. Try going into your sounds and notifications and seeing if for some reason it's set to no sound, but vibrate only or something like that.

My uncle has the same phone, but he had no problem with the ringtone.. and i use the standart ringtone in the HTC
and he vibrate non-stop thats not normal..
If i do the hard reset, he is normal.. after a time prevent the same problem..

Similar Problem
I have lost the abilaty to use MP3 Ringtones. The stock tones work just fine but I can't use my own MP3 ringtones. I had them Installed Storage Card/My Documents/My Ringtones. This was working fine then they just stopped working. I moved them to
My Devise/Windows/Rings. This still did not help. I can see the Ringtones when I edit contacts and I can choose the tones but they do not do the standard "Test Play" like the stock ones do. Any insight would be great.

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.

[Q] Contact Ringtones being over-ridden by Custom Default Ringtone!

Hi Guys,
I am new to android and new to smartphones in general, although i am familiar with computers and how operating systems work etc.
My question is this: Why, when i set an MP3 file as a default ringtone for all contacts, and then try to set a different MP3 file as a Contacts Ringtone, e.g. my Dad, the default ringtone plays when he phones me, not the contact specific ringtone i have set for him?
This is really annoying me and i would appreciate it if anyone can shed any light on this,
Thanks in advance,
Craig Williams

i see the date on your question...no answer still...
I have the same problem. I have an mp3 in my phone, i trimmed it and set is as my default ringtone. Put my phone to charge, unplugged it and someone called me a few time after, the ringtone was "quietly brilliant" and no longer my trimmed song. What happened, how can we stop this ringtone switch?

All notification sounds randomly resetting?

After the last official update something weird started happening to my phone. After random periods of time (1 - 5 days) all my ringtones and notifications sounds for all the applications seem to change by themselves.
Gmail will have no sound selected, Gtalk will pick one random MP3 file from my music folder, alarms will get the "Beep" sound, SMS/reminders will get a different (default?) sound, contacts that had custom ringtones will get the default ringtone, and the default ringtone for all contacts is changed too.
It's a little annoying, I can set everything back the way it was quite fast, but something else happens: for a few contacts only (random each time) I cannot change the ringtone anymore. The default one is set, I choose another one, but the new ringtone isn't applied. The only way to change the ringtone is to erase the contact and create it again (or sync from outlook to have it back).
Anyone else got this problem? I guess a hard reset will solve it, but I'm too lazy to install everything again etc.

I still have this problem. From time to time, all my notification shouds (alarm, message, ringtone, custom ringtones, everything) will change to random mp3s from my alarm/notification/ringtone or music folder.
It's not related to USB cable / SD mass storage mounting, I rarely use that. It usually happens in the background while I'm not even using the phone. Suddenly, it will e.g. start playing a whole mp3 track from may music folder when I receive an email.
Anyone else getting this stupid issue? I found a lot of people complaining in other threads and other forums, but no solution. I hate having to set my custom tones again and again...

HTC Desire HD too
My HTC Desire HD is also playing random mp3s with notifications. Not mail, that remains the same. But calendar and SMS all play mp3s. I can't seem to fix it. The notification settings still say it's meant to be playing a standard ringtone, but nope, mp3 it is.
Anyone figured out a fix?

I don't know if it helps, but I renamed my "Music" folder (that's where I had all .mp3 files that would randomly become ringtones) to something else and also removed the HTC Music widget from homescreen. Sometimes the ringtones will revert to HTC default and stay that way after I connect to USB mass storage / disconnect, but a phone reset will solve that.
