Problem receiving SMS - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

I have a problem with my Himalaya, but this might be an WM6 problem also.
When my device is switched off (so in standby) and I receive an SMS, the device does not notify me that a new SMS arrived (doen't ring, blink). I receive the SMS when I turn the device on next time. I'm sure that the SMS should be received earlier because of the timestamp. I also tried this by sending a message from another mobile to myself.
What might be the cause for this? I can receive calls while the device is switched off.

how are sounds and notifications in settings set for on recieve sms?

For "Messaging: New text message" I have:
"Play sound" set to some standard-sound (Alarm5)
"Display message on screen"
"Flash light for no limit" and
"Vibrate" set.

Hi. try to search for the smsalertfix.cab patch and install it. Make sure it is on your startup folder so that it always starts when you do a soft reset.
It has helped me with that problem.

This feature is available in your imate already.
Before sending any SMS, (you are still in the writting mode of the SMS), go to "Edit", then "Otions", and then put "Tick" in the Request SMS text message delivery nofitication.
You got to do this evey time you need a delivery notification of a message.
I know.. but can it always turned on, so that we don't have to tick on that option? just like sonyericsson or nokia(the dillivery report on by its default setting).
I have been using imate for the past one year, and I'm a heavy user of SMS. I do not think this feature is available like other mobiles.
I guess we have to do it every time we send SMS!
this file may help you the make the sms dilivery report ON , I'hv tryied it on Imate PDA2
If you do it from within the messaging App, don't start a message.
Menu - Tools - Options, select "Text Messages" and then tick the box, it will stay checked for all messages. Been using this for ages on my Trinity.

Avoid sound signaling for SMS receiving acknowledgement?

Hmm i use SMS receiving acknowledgement by standard.
Can i turn off the signaling for it?
I think just a popup is enough. I dont need a "beep beep" on my phone immediateley after sending a SMS to another.
Hello messia,
As the SMS notification is a simple SMS you recieve from the network when the recipient get your SMS, you have to deactivate the sounds for incoming SMS's.
You can controll all notifcations in the settings:
Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifcations
(Start > Einstellungen > Sounds & Benachrichtigungen > Benachrichtigungen)
If you choose "Messaging: new SMS" (Messaging: neue SMS) , you can turn off the sound for incoming SMS messages.
The downside of this is that sound notification is disabled for all incoming SMSs, not only for the send notifcations.
Greetings,
BGK
thx but that is not the problem, the problem is that i want a sound for a new sms i get, but i don`t want a sound for a sms that someone receives from me.
A popup for this is sufficient
I remember turning OFF the notification of sent messages previously, i think the info is in the forum somewhere, but it turns it all off. Both sound and popup.
I think it was a registry hack too. Was a long time ago, im fighting wm2005 now so havent got time to check back how i did it sorry.
yes i know how to deactivate completely but i just want to deactivate the annoying sound
it`s impossible, isn`t it?
Yes, it is impossible. The SMS you receive from the network looks the same as an sms from one of your contacts to your phone. The device cannot distinguish one SMS from another, so you can only choose to switch of the sound for all sms-es. You can also choose to disable delivery notification entirely, but then you will only get a pop-up that the sms is send, not when it is received by the other party, since the network will not send you an sms to notify you of delivery.
However, even when I am writing this, I consider two issues:
1. There is some program floating around that enables blocking certain senders of sms. That means however that the sms will not reach your phone, so this is bascially the same result as with switching sms delivery notification off.
2. BUT! Darek, the creator of DKToday ( search for him on this forum with the term DKToday, or his name dkot) uses the SMS delivery for counting the number of sms send this month. Basically, he could not find a way to extract sent sms info from the system, so instead, he chose to count the returning delivery notification sms from the network as a measure of the no. of sms sent by you. So, in some way, he must be able to distinguish delivery notification sms from normal sms, as sent by your contacts. I recommend you to contact him and ask him how that is done, maybe he can tell you what the distinguishing feature is between normal incoming sms and network sms.
Edit: After re-reading your first post in this thread, I may have given you an answer to a problem you did not have. Do you want to cancel out the sound for the incoming network delivery notification sms, or the sound from the pop-up after sending the sms ( the system sound)? For the delivery sms, see my answer. For the system sound: I have no clue...
I have written to him. Maybe he can help

sms alert problem

hi guys
I find problem whenever an incoming sms comes. I can't hear any alert or sound which i assigned. when i go to notifications & alerts. Its weird I notice that the "PLAY" checkbox is unchecked automatically for "Messaging New text mail" but perhaps I had checked option to play the alert. I don't know why its happening.
I have installed the following applications in my Today screen.. Phonealarm, claunch & Vitosoundexplorer. I have a doubt is it due to phonealarm settings.. its causing problem. because I saw the settings for phonealarm, where it as option to alert for SMS. and alert assigned is "system" I tried to change that and assigned my own alert. but even then only when sms comes. it only beeps once. is it the phonealarm taking over... kindly suggest what to do.
thanks and regards

SMS Notification Problems

Hi guys.
I seem to be having SMS notification problems. Upon receiving a SMS I get the notification fine, but when I dismiss it it does not go away unless I dismiss it a second time.
This is very annoying and hopefully not a "feature" of WM5 notifications.
Furthermore it does not seem possible to dismiss the voicemail notification AT ALL...
Reg fix anyone?
Thanks for any help!

I can't say you are the only one, but for certain, I do not have that problem. As for voicemail, once it is listened to, the vmail indicator/notification should go away.
Damn so then its a problem with :
a) Software I have installed
b) extended rom cab i have not installed
c) the planet alignment...
As for the voicemail yeah listening to it makes the notification go away, but surely "dismiss" should make it dismiss without needing to actually hear the voicemail ?
Anyone have any ideas ? I can post exactly what roms/software I have installed if it helps...
Cheers!
The "sms" that you have received is not a normal sms notifcation from the voicemail.
I think your voicemail has an extra option for notification, it's called "icon notification" in a normal phone you will see an enveloppe which tells you there are new voicemail messages. this enveloppe can only be deleted by listening to all new messages, after you've done that the voicemail will send a notification to your phone to turn the icon off.
BUT windows mobile 5 cannot handle the icon notification which means the icon will not be removed if you listen to your voicemail messages. while you're listening to your new voicemail messages you will notice that you will receive an empty sms (this is the notification for the phone to turn the icon off) unfortunately the phone does not understand the notification to turn the notification off, so as far as I know there's no way to get rid of the message.
I solved it by turning off the icon notification option in the voicemail, then did a hardreset and but my backup back.
I hope you understand what the option icon notification, otherwise just ask!
grtz,

annoying issue.

I've just had my touch replaced due to a fault and I have a little problem I cant remember how to fix.
When I send a text message, when you receive the little notification at the bottom to say your text has been sent, its vibrates 3 times as if to say I've received a text. Do you know how to turn the vibration off when sending a text?
I've had a browse and can't find any information on this
thanks in advance.

I have disabled all notifications for sms messages sent, so i'm not 100% sure if what I'm describing below will work as I don't have the option for sms messages succeeded (could be because there is no such setting or because I have already disabled this function).
Anyway, I'm sure it's work a look. Go to Settings\Sounds and Notifications\Notifications. In the Event box, scroll down to the option for Message : Message send succeeded (if there is such an option as there is one for mms) and uncheck the box to vibrate.
