Hi People!
I simply don't know what to do. Somehow, my SMS sound disappeared -- too, there is no blinking, no vibration, nothing. can please somebody help me and somehow tell me where the error could be. it's set right in the alerts dialog, when i do a preview there, it works. but a new sms seems not to launch the alert. i remember fiddling around with the regkeys that manage the messaging accounts - maybe there is a naming error?
any help is greatly appreciated...
thanks a lot,
keep posting

Try to go through:
Start - Settings - Sounds and Notifications and then set the sound/vibartion as you like.
thanks, but ..
.. i already tried that, like a hundred times ..
the problem seems to lie elsewhere, as for example in the SMS account name.. fiddling around there may have caused this problem..
BUT i am planning doing a rom upgrade, so the problem will be gone, i think..
btw, is there a generic (HTC, german) ROM version that includes the internal gps-chip? my version: 1.16.407.2 and external rom: 1.16.407.101
Solution found on www.pocketpctweaks.com
as i pointed out the problem started after tweaking my messaging accounts. i now restored them (from a backup i intelligently did) and my sms sound is here again. the "ActiveSync" and "Hotmail" Accounts need to be there in order to have a sms notification ......
\\HKLM\\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\
this is _not_ what i call good programming ..

Hello!
I did a Hard-Reset, since some things weren't working fine.
After having finished the installation, I recognized that there is
NO SOUND
NO POPUP
NO BLINKING OF LED
NO VIBRATION
when I receive a SMS.
I don't know, what I can do to "repair".
PLEASE HELP!!
have you tried
Start>Settings>Sounds & Notifications>Notifications>Event: Messaging: New Text Message
...of course I tried this.
Any other ideas?
Did you by any chance hide the ActiveSync (POP3) folder in your messaging application by editing your registry? I suppose the chances you did are quite small... Then again, it never hurts to ask.
First of all, are you getting other notifications? I.e. incoming call, etc?
What has worked for me when this has happened is to go to sounds/notification and select the sound to use when a new text message is received, then select the play button beside it to play a demo of the audio. For some reason, it seems like that helps my device to register the wake up action to take when a new call is received.
Hope this helps!
@Eggy
Yes, I removed the ActiveSync-account and the Hotmail-account in the registry.
Is there a connection between removing these accounts and hearing no sms-notifications?
@lulugirl896
For an incoming call it works fine.
I also played the sound in the options (like you wrote) but nothing changes.

Try returning the ActiveSync key the way it was. The Hotmail one shouldn't make a difference.

Could you write the structure of the registry-keys, since I don't know the old state... ?
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this so move the topic if necessary.
A few weeks back I bought an X1(Branded Dutch T-Mobile Version) and I've been having problems with the receiving of SMS'. My Today screen indicates there are new messages, eg. SMS \ MMS: 1 unread. But when I check my messages there's nothing there. I tried to see if it may be a false positive, by having a friend send me a text message, but the number did increase, and the message box was still empty. I tried reseting the rom, which obviously killed the messages, but new messages are still not getting through.
Anybody else experiencing the same problem? Anybody know what is going on? How can I recover the (invisible) messags?
Thanks a bunch
that's weird. uh, really weird. it's either YOU have a bad rom/phone software so better have it checked OR your not looking in your SMS/MMS inbox but your outlook inbox instead.

i had the same prob, someone sent me a text and the phone froze, when i turned it on had that message. the only way i found to get rid of it was to delete the message coversation with the person.
i had the same problem, only a hard reset solves the problem. after the hardreset everythink worked fine. some other people at the german xperia board got the same problem.
I tried to hard-reset to no avail. Deleting previous conversations doesn't help. Even SMS' from unknown contacts stay hidden. When I try to export my messages using PIM Backup 2.8 It shows that I have 2 'Text Messages' folders in the export root. One with the hidden(unread) messages. And one with the visible ones. When I exported the messages and reimported them, they stayed hidden. When I wrote a program to parse the PIM Backup exported file. I could see that the hidden messages get properly exported.
Any ideas?
Hearing that the German based roms have troubles too, could it be a reg setting that is wrong, something with localization? I really hate that I have a Dutch rom.
i had this problem i simply hard reset it and it was gone...if this didnt work then try reflashing the orignal rom
I just ran into the same issue.
Funny is that I did hard reset on not flashed orginall Dutch T-mobile X1 which was working good. Well now it is not :/
Tip for others looking for a quick workaround: use uiggmo light panell to read them. The only way I found so far.
I am flashing mine today. (Before I will hand it over due to case issue).
Hi all,
I'm using the factory Messages program & I noticed that in some conversations (not all) my replies are misplaced.
They should be the last message in the threaded sms, but they're not.
I did a hard reset, but am still having the same problems.
Please advice,
D
Are you using a 3rd party sms app? What ROM are you using?
Have the same issue - factory, bone stock device. All my incoming SMS's are 4 hours behind, so they often show up far before my latest outgoing SMS in a conversation.
Some people recommended changing your time-zone around to adjust for the difference when I searched around, but then the rest of my phone gets messed, e.g. email timestamps are then wrong.
It's a network issue I think. I have an unlocked TELUS HTC Hero and an unlocked Virgin Mobile HTC Legend and both suffer the same timestamp problem (mine is 4 hours behind) when used on Rogers Wireless. I thought it might be an Android related problem, but my Sony Ericsson X10 didn't have the problem. /shrug
There is an app that will fix the problem though. Search for “SMS Time Fix” by Matthew Precious.
I'm using stock app. stock ROM.
Right now my setting is:
Menu > Settings > Date & time > Automatic (Use network-provided values).
I'm gonna un-check Automatic & select my own timezone see if that fixes the issue.
Will report back.
Thanks all.
D
Everything stock here too. Try the app posted above to fix it.
ok,
downloaded & installed the SMS Time Fix by Matthew Precious.
But now I have another problem:
When the newly incoming message arrives, it'll show on the status bar. When I pull down the bar to go to that message, I can't find it. meaning the new message is deleted automatically.
The only program I can blame is the SMS Time Fix program.
I uninstalled the program, & so far so good.
weird..

although I defined all alert sounds (sms, email. missed calls etc.) to give an alert still when I receive any of the above the phone is silent. need to mention that I chose a different alert than the default (different sound)
any ideas?

Hello!
I have had the same problem after I updated to the next available rom provided by HTC.
I have tried several things and experimented with the different sound formats.
I noticed that I still got a sound alert in standby mode for my mail account and wondered why I didn't get the same for my sms.
Like you I customized my sounds with soundfiles from the internet (like effects and stuff that I copied directly to the \windows\rings directory .) And I noticed a big difference between the sound I used for sms (WAV) and the sound I used for mail (mp3).
So just for the fun of it I tried converting my WAV file to Mp3 because I couldn't find the same sound file in that format.
And what do you know... problem solved...
I yet again recieve sound notification in standby mode for sms.
I don't know if this is something that occures due to the upgraded rom but it works for me.
Maybe it's an idea you'd like to try. I was very frustrated by this problem and spent an entire evening on trying to fix it. So I have invested a lot of time.
Maybe it helps you to.
Goodluck,
Joey
solved by upgrading rom
the opposite happened to me when i upgraded the rom and now the defualt sounds are playing for everything.
so what I do is just leave the default sound and won't choose other sounds since i dont know if itll remain ok or itll go mute again and I don't fell like hard reseting again...
thanks anyway for your help - I'll remember your offer if ill need it
and by the way, mp3 ringtones that i added are working fine..
check out the new update on HTC's site it is specifically for this problem!
Hello Guys,
First I just want to say I love the forum, read many threads on here last night and despite being a total noob to flashing, developing etc I thought I'd have ago and flashing my G1.
Well it went well, love the new software, but I have one problem - I can't download from the Market place - whatever application I choose to download just stays as 'downloading' but nothing actually comes down - my data connection works just fine, with normal internet browsing working normally.
I wonder if anyone could make a suggestion - please find my phone set up data
HTC G1/Dream
Firmware 2.1-update1
Baseband version 62.505.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
Kernel version 2.6.34-cyanogenmod
Mod Version CyanogenMod-5.0.8-DS
Build Number EPE54B
Thanks again!
Also noticed that despite inside the notifications menu, I have the LED turned on - when I receive a text the light doesn't flash?
Thanks
Ok, thats one problem fixed - the issue with downloads looks like a Marketplace issue - so that's all good!
So, just one other thing - when voicemails or texts are received the light doesn't flash - even though I've got it set up correctly in the settings....
Anyone else with this problem or have any tips?
The notificaton LEDs only work when the screen is off. You really don't need them when it's on.
Sure, but even when my screen is off and I get a text the LED doesn't blink.
Try checking that the missed call LED is checked under call settings.
All of a sudden without doing anything at all, it's working now - very odd.
This new OS is pretty Juicy on the battery, but not sure if its the fact I've been getting to know it all day.
A bug found by the looks of things - none of my contacts will save?
I've added the same person 3 times and it says saving contacts but when I got back in to contacts it isn't there .......anyone offer some suggestion(s)?
I've tried to synch with google and nothing happens - why doesn't the contact save to the phone or SIM? I'm not overly interested in storing contacts on Google - the standard firmware for the phone stores them on the phone/sim - where in the settings does it dictate where a contact is stored to ?
Thanks
Solved, the contact wasn't displayed as some of the boxes under contact settings weren't ticked - why on earth would I want to "hide" my contacts?? Oh well ......thanks
