No message notification

A while ago my Magician stopped notifying me of new messages. Actually, they do show up on the Today screen, but I never the the sound notification. It is definitely enabled in the Sounds & Notifications control panel, and it works when I press the play button there.
It is quite annoying to always miss text messages!
Anyone got a clue how to fix this?

Did you used Sprite backup for restoring your messages? I had the same problem. It's quite annoying, but with a Hard Reset the problem is solved. So my advice is that you should not use Sprite (if you did)

If you use pocket zen phone ... are the sounds also configured in there. The i-mate uses the pocket zen phone profiles, which overrule the standard windows sounds and notifications.
I had the problem not keeping a vibrate alert when receiving a text message.
But I haven't got any idea how the notifications can disappear. Maybe it somewhere caused by some software, hope for you it's the mentioned Sprite Backup.

No I haven't used Sprite Backup or Pocket Zen Phone. One day it just stopped working. Quite annoying!

Ghost Alarms in WM5

I have a strange issue with Alarm/Notifications in WM5
I had set an alarm using the built-in clock/alram app. Normally when the alarm rinds, there's a dismiss option in the soft buttons in WM5. This is how it has been working for a while.
Strangely, two days ago, the alarm rang but there was no dismiss option... there was no way for me to snooze or dismiss the alarm. I muted my phone and after a while un-muted it and the alarm was gone. Then i went to the alarm app and disabled the alarm.
The same day, i set up an appointment in calendar. When the appointment nitification came on, the sound was played but again, the dismiss option was nowhere to be seen. I couldnt snooze this alarm either.
Now this is one issue, the main annoying issue is that whenever i soft-reset my phone, these two ghost alarms (the original alarm which does not exist anymore, AND the notification for that entry in my calendar which i couldnt snooze, because the option was not displayed) they start sounding as my phone is half way rebooting... And there's nothing i can do to dismis or snooze them.
Any idea? any help will be appreciated. thanks!

I have exactly the same problem. I have set an alarm using the built in Clock & Alarm app in WM5 and could not dismiss it when it came up. Since then, whenever I do a soft reset, the alarm starts up while the device is booting. The annoying part is that it was set to repeating alarm and that's exactly what it does after each soft reset. It repeats less and less frequently and eventually it doesn't repeat any more, but there is nothing I can do to turn it off. I have tried resetting all the options in the Clock & Alarm app but still no luck. I have tried removing the Alarm events in the Notification queue, but they keep coming back after each soft reset.
Has anyone experienced this before, and found a solution to it?
BTW I'm using i-mate JASJAR, but this post describes exactly my symptoms.

I've done some further investigation, and I found a couple of entries in the Registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Shell\Reminders\ that match the description and time I have set up originally for the alarms that keep sounding after every soft reset.
I have tried deleting the entries in the Registry, but after another soft reset, the entries are back! How can I get rid of these for good?

It looks like I've solved the problem...
1. I have deleted the entries from the Registry using Resco Registry Editor that matched the Alarm descriptions that I originally set for the alarms that later kept coming back...
AND
2. I have deleted the clock.exe notifications from the list using Check Notifications from ScaryBear Software.
Once I rebooted, the notifications didn't reappear, the registry entries didn't come back, and most importantly, the ghost alarms didn't go off again!
I have tried both 1 and 2 above before individually between resets, but not both together. When I only did one or the other, both the notifications entries and the registry entries came back after the reset, causing the ghost alarm to keep running after each reset.
I hope this will help anyone else who gets into the same situation.

Thank you very much!
It worked, the alarm was driving me nuts!

Alarm keeps on going off after soft reset! Help please!

Hi,
My prophet's (M600) alarm keeps on going off when I reset the device. There is no notification and no ways to stop it. I have to mute the device for an hour or so, then it "forgets" about it. Any idea why this happened and any ways to stop it apart from hard resetting?
Thanks in advance

Hi,which alarm ? Alarm clock ?

Yes, I think it is the alrm clock. As I said there is no notification saying what alarm it is, but it is the same sound as I used for Alarm clock to wake up in the morning.
Thanks

Maybe a scheduled task registered every day no ?

No. Infact there is no alarm set now. I dont even use it to wake up in the morning. I have turned off the alarm. Still it starts after a soft reset.
Thanks for reply

Do you use a plug today in your today screen ? Next message in pm.

The problem will be a notification in the notify queue that should not be there. For a calendar reminder it will be a calendar.exe notification. Use the attached program to check the notification queue - find the one and delete. For the alarm notification - turn off alarm and check the queue and delete any clock.exe notifications which is the one for alarms. Also goto options/settings and tick both boxes and check for duplicate notifications which will be marked in red - delete those. Do not delete the other notifications they are needed for the normal running of the device.
Activesync your device and run exe from pc.

Thanks for the reply. I tried this using memaid. But no cure. So, I had to hard reset my device. Thanks anyway :roll:

hey, I was having the same problem - and it worked! MemMaid will open the notificaiton queue; from there, I had to look for any "CLOCK.EXE" type notification - I found several that were set for daily alarms, even though they never rang (and I don't remember setting them.) Deleting them did the trick!
THANKS!

help please
So it gets rid of the notifications.
but if i want to use the windows alarm, why does it not show up on the screen when the alarm is going off? I want to be able to snooze.
should i just use a 3rd party alarm?

Worked for me
Yep that program worked for me to. only problem was i had so many clock.exe in the list and you can only select one at a time and it takes its time. but still quicker that reseting my phone up after a hard reset.
cheers

I had the same problems as others listed on here and so I am trying this fix. During the fix I noticed a lot of "null" applications.
What do all the "null" lines mean?
Example: Application - Null
Notify type - CNT_TIME
Event Status - Active
Event Type - NONE
Arguments - (none)
Thanks

MemMaid worked for me too
Hello,
I had the same problem, every notifications didn't display.
I installed DinarSoft MemMaid v2.3, in the QuickClean tab I checked the 4 Notifications-related lines and I performed the cleaning process.
Then a soft reset with the stylus & the small button next to the usb connector.
And then : no more orange led flashes, no more unwanted alarm sounds. And I can use the alarm or calendar notifications again. It works.
Thank you for your posts.

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.

Phantom unread sms

HI all,
I am running PointUI on my Wing in Windows Mobile 6, and yesterday I noticed that I have a phantom unread message in my sms inbox. I say phantom because I have cleared everything out and there shouldn't be anything in there, but the bottom of that inbox screen which gives you the message totals count says 1 unread sms. Also, the PointUI interface is showing a 1 in the sms icon like there is a message, but I can't find it. The indicator LED light is not amber but it's driving me nuts. I have tried several soft boots to see if that corrected the problem and it did not. Also, I have rebooted and not started PointUI and the issue is still there on the windows today screen.
Has anyone ever had this issue? If so, how did you resolve it. Any and all ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jamie

I have had a similar issue with phantom unread email messages a couple of times. I found a small program on this site which fixed it for me.
Do a search for "fixunreadcount" on this site, and you should find it. If it does not turn up, let me know and I will check to see if I still have a copy saved on my PC.

I couldn't find a program for that and it's still doing it. I've even dropped PointUI and still have the phantom message on the original today screen.

Sorry for the hijack, but I was hoping others who have had this problem could maybe suggest other things to try. I tried the fixunreadcount.exe program, it said it corrected the SMS inbox from 1 to 0, ran it again, came up OK, did a soft-reset and it still shows 1 on the Home screen and says "0 items, 1 unread" in the inbox. Grr. I've tried running the fixunreadcount several times, it corrects from 1 to 0 every time, I've tried the inbox settings registry change that someone in another thread suggested, nothing makes that stupid 1 go away. Maybe it's time to reflash....
EDIT: I ran the fixunreadcount three more times, trying a combination between soft-resetting and powering down, and it FINALLY cleared it! I can now say this program works...eventually!

Thank you, this fixed it for me. After running the program it required a soft reset.
In my situation the actions that led to this situation was that I had sent one SMS to multiple receivers and was "cleaning" the SMS folder by deleting the message received notifications. During this I received other "message received" notifications and as of the result of this the "unread count" remained in "1" (one). My assumption was that one of the deleted notifications was moved from the inbox to the deleted items, but somehow the "system" did not remove it from the inbox. I assume this is a "rare" situation and was partially caused by me accessing the device while I got more notifications. Device was HTC Diamond - first generation and I'm running WM6.1 build 20764.1.4.3.

cheers guys. it fixed my issue on the TP2

For me 2. Thanks.
