Got my HD yesterday after giving up the Omnia. Impressed so far but one thing is annoying me. I don't seem to be notified when I've received an email. Everything is set up in sounds and notifications ie. Play Sound and Vibrate is checked. When I check my phone after a few hours, sometimes I have received many emails which have all just been saved as read.
Any ideas?
Any help appreciated.
just a long shot, but could the email tone be a 'system' sound or a warning sound? check your sounds and notifications properties and play about with the tick boxes. May not be the case, but it's worth a try.

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.

Hi, I'm sorry if this has already been brought up by someone.
Every now and then I hear an unknown notification for something. I can't find what application is doing this and it's obviously something you can't set at the normal sound settings menu (all the tones I've selected for receiving SMS, ActiveSync, WiFi networks or any other app are different). It must be some kind of system notification, but I can't find out what is causing it, because it happens when I'm not even touching the phone.
(BTW, I have the LED notification installed, and it doesn't light up when this tone sounds).
does it sound a little bit like a bird tweeting? the twitter tab makes that sound when it auto updates.
Thanks for your quick reply!
Yeah, I've thought about that, because I thought it was Twitter in the first place, but I've checked and there were no new tweets when I checked after hearing the sound.
(But thanks a lot, it definitely is the Twitter notification sound, I just checked!). Now when does it sound... that's the question
It makes it even if there are no new tweets, it's just to tell you it has checked.
Well, ok then. But then it's not very consistent, because it should check every 5 minutes and I don't get notifications every 5 minutes
Hi Guys,
for some reason when i receive email to my phone it doesnt seem to vibrate or ring. It pops up on the email tab to say its been received but theres no kind of indication. Its sort of like its on silent. Ive checked all my sound settings and notifications, events e.t.c are on but still no joy.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Have you change manila language ?
Email, vs text, vs picture message??
Also - when I get a facebook notification.......why doesn't my phone tell me about it like all my friend blackberries and iphones do?
Sigh.
you have to go into each individual program, hit the menu touch capacative button, hit settings, and then check the notification option and choose the ringtone. as for the facebook issue, eveyone has it. I receive notifications ver sporadically and few and far between. Its just something wrong with the facebook ap.
Edit: as for mms notifications, I'm pretty sure that its the same as the sms notification. Just go to settings, sound nd display, and choose the ringtone.

Thanks, I figured I just wasn't thinking!
I don't know why but for some reason I don't get notified when I receive a text messages and no sound either, I can only see my messages when I check the messages icon any solutions? All other apps such as whatsapp and facebook seem to be ok. Notifications are set to be on, I attached a photo
Settings > Notifications > Advanced
Scroll down to messages and click it, press allow notifications, etc
I had this problem for a while and finally figured it out yesterday after I sat down and realized how much it really bugged me. Haha
oops. i see.
Thanks it worked! It's confusing because on the app settings the notification is on but I didn't realize there was another notification settings on the phones itself.. thanks! :good:
Old thread, I know, but can I just express my thanks for this. Oh my god, it was driving me nuts trying to figure out why my phone, all of a sudden, stopped giving me audible text notifications. Got me in deep trouble with The Mrs. because I missed some of hers. Arrgh! I changed nothing, did nothing. Checked to make sure it was enabled in Sounds, and in the Messaging app itself. So, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
