Hello!
I have an MDA Vario 2, and got on this device, unfortunately, a little bug discovered I have nothing found right here in the forum. The bug occurs with Schaps 3.57a, 4.20 and with the version 4.22.
Sometimes if I get a new SMS there is no SMS-Sound played and the LED is still flashing green and not orange as it should be. But on the display stands "Text Messages: 1 Unread".
The settings under Settings/Personal/Sounds & Notifications are correct: Flash light for "no limit" and "play sound" is also a hook in it.
It helps mostly just turn the device off and on. But the same problem appears after some time again.
Is there anyone here who ever had a similar problem, or know how to resolve this perhaps? Thanks!

Ive found that the device will not make a sound notification if you leave the phone in the list displaying the sms messages,
the same goes for an email

Hi,
Every now and then when I try to send an SMS from my XDA2 I press the send button in the top left corner and all that happens is that the cursor jumps to the end of the "to" field. Nothing else?
In order to be able to send an SMS once in this stat I have to turn off and turn back on the phone part and then everything works fine. It's only infrequently but when it happens it's quite annying.
This is my second XDA2 and both were running the 1.60.00WWE Rom with 1.10.00 Radio and both suffered from the problem.
Has anybody got any ideas?
Thanks,

@ads_green,
although I can´t help you out here, I still can confirm that bug on my machine
My machine:
Vodafone Personal Assistant (Qtek 2020)
ROM-Version 1.66.01GER
ROM-Date 02/23/04
Radio-Version 1.10.00
Protokoll-Version 1337.18
ExtRom-Version 1.66.143
Software installed:
Adobe Acrobat
Funny Snake TKCreater
Mobile-Banking
PocktZenPhone
PocketWeather

WisBar Advanced
VITO Voice Dialer
I see that we both use the same radio version.
Anybody else can confirm that bug ?

SMS problem
I can confirm the same problem you have but I noticed the following:
When I turn on the phone from a soft reset and after entering the
PIN for the telco network, the "G" icon (GPRS) briefly pops up
and beep sound is heard. This is normal
Occasionally this "G" icon comes up again and beep is heard for no reason.
When this happen, then I cannot send SMS like you mentioned.
Receiving SMS is OK. Making and receiving calls is OK also.
Also at this time
START--->SETTINGS---->PHONE cannot be accessed.
Nothing happens when clicked.
The only way to get out is to SOFT RESET.
However one time I tried to investigate further and check the processes
and applications, open/closing other software, etc. the system
went into a HARD REST automatically.
I suspect the problem is due to the phone settings software part.
It could also be a SIM card problem or a loose contact with SIM card.
I also have the same ROM.
Anyone has any ideas?
I have the exact same problem recently and that 'G' icon keeps appearing, i find that if i turn my phone onto Flight mode then back to normal, it resolves this for a while but doesnt stop it happening!
Have been trying to search for this topic here for a while. The red flashing light on the XDA2 wont turn back to yellow when a notification is dismissed or snoozed. The only way i can get it to return to normal status is if i receive an SMS, or i go to Sounds and Notifications. What's up with that? and how do i fix it?

have you tried setting the time limit of the flashing red light? start/settings/sounds¬ifications/notifications. select an event ( eg: inbox New SMS message) uncheck the flash light box. that should solve your problem.
'been experiencing the same problem intermittently. Especially when some of my reminder went off or when I receive an SMS. What I usually do is perform a soft-reset, at least once a day. =)
I cant really disable the flash coz i need to be notified of events, meetings, etc. Its weird coz if i force an alarm (say, 2 mins from current time), alarm goes off, i dismiss it, works red flash goes away. Works without a hitch. But if its an event that's been scheduled for, say, a day or so... red flash whole day unless i go to sounds and notifications.
~ishtangli
I've also had this problem on occasion. Fortunately there is a less harsh solution than a soft-reset...
Use Start | Settings | Sounds & Notifications | Notifications tab, then drop down the Event combo box and select any other event than the first and tap OK.
This procedure doesn't actually change any of your settings but does seem to reset the light.
thanks... I'll remember this one once that glitch happens again... =)
This is exactly what I do. Was hoping there's already a registry solution or patch out. Kinda irritating if you have lots of meetings in a day.

There is no need to do anything else after selecting Start -> Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> Notifications. Just tap OK immediately after that and the red blinking light will go away.
This problem only started occurring when I updated the ROM to 1.60. The previous ROM didn't have this problem.
On occasions l have that just going into start/settings/sounds & notifications, and then hitting ok, sometimes does not kill the light. Seems to depend on the kind of event that triggered the alarm in the first place.... Either way, just hiting ok or going the extra step as suggested earlier in the thread seems to deal with it.
bug.
the RED flash notification light is another bug in the 1.60 and 1.66 WWE ROM, yes SETTINGS-NOTIFICATIONS-OK seems to solve the problem and there is no registry hack. Though, IT IS BETTER to soft reset your device once in a while to REFRESH the memory, to avoid damaging the tiny soft reset button, install a soft reset program and just tap to SOFT RESET.
As presented by T3 Magazine, The XDA 2 is the smartest PDA, but its not perfect, though I STILL LOVE MY XDA 2.
RED flash notification bug fixed in 1.72?

Does this mean that the problem is gone in 1.72WWE ?
I've not done the upgrade yet because 1.66 has been very stable (for me) but this might just be the reason I've been waiting for ...
Well I'm under 1.72 WWE and I have the same problem but ever since I insstalled a Socket WiFi card. The driver installs a new Notification Event called WIFIICON and every time I insert the WiFi card and the system detects a hotspot the notification light (red) will continue to blink forever. If I go to notifications and select, say 5 minutes, it will continue forever, if I disable it, it will disable until the next WiFi session and then have to repeat procedure all over again... :?
It does not bother me much, but since a WiFi session by itself consumes lots of battery the last thing in my mind is having another power consuming feature turned on.

You missed a crucial step. You should go to Start -> Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> Notifications and after pressing the OK button, the red blinking light will go away. Don't forget to select the Notifications tab. It works in my unit every time.
After picking up on this thread, I have been monitoring the 'clear' function more closely and up to now, touch wood, being in notifications and just hitting ok, seems to be doung the trick. I am pretty sure I have tried the same thing in the past and, on occa ion, it has not worked without changing an event. But my memory may be playing tricks with me I'll continue to monitor and see if any come up...hopefully not

Not on my device. It is necessary to select a different notification for the screen to 'realise' a change has occurred and kill the light.
Hi
I don't know if it's only with mine, but I don't think so.
When in vibrating mode this bug appears.
The moment I send a message, I get the message send notification but then the light keeps on blinking (like if you got a message that you didn't read yet or a missed call) until I get a new message that I read.
Only after reading the new message it stops blinking.
When in normal mode, something similar is happening. After the message send notification, it blinks for a short while (5 secs or so) and then it's normal again.
Am I the only one?? I think not.
Greetz
Seems I'm the only one??
This is the HTC Prophet, as everyone knows
Actually no, you are not the only one.
And the only work around is the soft-reset... :-(
however, this happens only when I click on the "x"..
when I click "discard" it works fine
Hello,
I have looked everywhere but can not find any setting for it, and i have upgraded to the latest stock htc rom but still same issue:
Sometimes, only sometimes, when I get a new text/sms message the phone beeps about it, but sometimes it just flashes the green light and no sound. When I turn the display on, it takes a second and then! the beep! for a new text/sms is played. It is very annoying, as I can go hours without knowing I actually have a new message.
Anyone else have this issue? anyone know the solution?
thanks in advance,
modano
yea it happens to me too, duno y tho. Sometimes mine vibrate with no sound and the vibration doesn't stop either, just keeps going.
HTC released a hotfix, go check their website.
I had this problem and found a post on this forum which fixed it:

The advanced config tool is knocking around somewhere, should come up easily in a search, hope that helps...
as some of you may know, i received my HD MINI in italian language....
thanks to some help from this forum, ive been able to install BSB tweaks and now about 25% of my phone is in english..
im wondering if any of you can tell me WHERE in my phone i can set the settings for the below problems, as most of my menus are still written in italian:
1. when i set an alarm, the alarm will only ring ONCE (approx. 5 seconds), it's like the alarm ringtone sound file doesnt loop
2. i dont hear any sounds when i receive an incoming SMS message, my phone just flashes the green LED in the top corner. The phone isnt on silent mode though, because regular calls ring
hi htc_999.
the way i managed to change mine was to go to settings, then press menu and go to all settings. next (at the top) press notifications, then change the event to "message - new message" and you should be able to tick "play sound"
hope that helps
my phone is in italian, and i cannot understand all the menus fully, but im pretty sure i checked the box for sound under the subsection of "nuovo messagio" but still doesnt work
Mine is Italian as well, so the path is:
Impostazioni / Toni e display / Suoni di Notifica
The option Nuovo messagio must be in Att, and if you press there, you can select the sound you want. Also the setting Vibrazione must be either in off or att, but never in Solo.
Then check that the volume is not down or too low (with the volume rocker).
If all above is ok, it should work.
Maybe its related to similar problems i had in the past after changing the language?
Take a look at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583878
Gr,

Its a HD2 topic but i worked for my Touch HD, hopefully it works for you as well.
mini HD same problems.
Well i got the mini HD in Greek language which is my language so there is no way i get messed up in the menus.
I observed the same issue with the alarm and after a lot of tries i observed that the alarm fails due to sleeping mode of the phone.The 30 sec on for display strangles the alarm ,which is working ok if the phone is connected to external power with an option of display sleeping mode longer than that with no connected to external power.
In addition to this the second issue you talk about is probably born from the same point as the sms alert works just fine when the phone is on but nothing sounds when the phone is in sleeping mode.
I have tried all in the settings but nothing .
Probably its a software problem that htc should know and fix it.
By the way have you observed a diminuated signal of your phone provider? The signal to me seems as looping from one line to four more constantly on one in an area that all the family phones get the most power signal constantly.
I have just sent an email to htc.If i got any answer i will let you know.
Solved the issues
It seems i found a way to solve the issues described above as my thought about the sleeping mode problem seems to be right.
Well a the power setting you have to choose the potion for backlight page control.Then uncheck the auto reglation of display light and let a value of 80% for both options battery and external power.Then check back the auto reglation for the back light . now you have to increase the time values using battery for decreasing light on display at 2min and turn off at 5min. use the same values for eternal power also
Then using path settings ,menu right bottom,option for more,sound and notifications,notifications , you access the page where rolling down the happening bar you get the option for new message.After some tries i can say that not all the tones are working properly.for example dont use Alarm-VeryHigh .It wont work. Try the tone Notify and check the playing option and the display message option.
With these settings the alarm should work for 2 minutes loopig normaly and the sms will sound when it comes.
Try it sending a message to yourself turning off the display by the top power button immediately after you send the message.
Hope I helped.I mstill waiting an answer to the email i sent to htc.Hope thet resolve the issues with an upgraded rom as it seems its a software problem.
By the way the clarifing sound issue you may have can be solved with the update given by htc to the official site .Dont forget to set a volume value to 80%.
All issues resolved
Hi, as i ve written before i communicated with htc ,they proposed to go to service. Afterall i had the opportunity to talk with the technician of htc who explained me how the issues would be resolved after a software upgrade.
So they did the job , upgrated my device and now works great.
One thing i am courious about is that after i got the device back i checked the official site and there is nothing there as upgrade. So by now if you have the same issues you have to go to htc service.
thanks mihan.....
i will save the trouble and wait for a update patch
The update is available now

I tested with the new patch but not luck . still no sound when i receive a sms
Moved to general...
WHY dont you read the previous messages? This problems were common to many users and will be resolved with the updated 30/06/10 rom from htc site.
