No Sound for incoming SMS, No PopUp, Nothing | PLEASE HELP!!

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... ?

jingle when sending SMS ?

Hi chaps
please read this and put me out of my pain, its really driving me up the wall now.
i want the wizard to vibrate when a text message comes in, no sound just vibrate. this onlt seems to work when 'notifications (alarms, reminders)' is also ticked, is this right? seems like one setting should affect the other ?
but how do i stop the phone from going 'jinga-alinga-jing' when i have just sent a message, i am on payandgo and it tells me my balance everytime i sent a message and i can see no setting to stop it.
even putting the phone into silent mode from the volume control will stop this jingle ITS PURE MADNESS.
anyone else found this? i can't be the only one on payandgo can i?

if you're on O2 PAYG you can call/email them and they will disable the credit notifications. This is the only solution I could find as I did not manage to turn off the actual sound, someone else perhaps?

hahahahaha
i am indeed on O2 didn't know they could turn them off.
i'm moving over to orange very soon though, if it still does it then guess orange can turn them off, cheers you have saved my sanity.
pretty odd that there is no way of stopping it in the phone though

I'm not an Payandgo but did you try in Parameters > Sounds and notifications > Notification (tab)
In the combo, you choose : "Message : New SMS"
And for this particular event, you can remove the sound and choose vibrate ...
Is that what you need ?

YES! i'm having the same stupid thing as well! My phone is a wizard badged as an O2 and i am on a O2 PAYG sim. I have CID unlocked mine and installed the K-JAM rom instead but still have the same issue when the phone is on silent.
Pulling out my hair!!

thanks for your replies guys
YvonLeFou - its not the sound to say that one has come in ie 'new sms' it happens when you send one. you send a message and O2 remind you what your balance is. dunno how this is done but it ignores EVERY attempt at stopping the xda to play a jingle. even if you put the phone on silent it still does it.
Latz - looks like Marc83 has the answer, call o2 and ask them to disable credit notifications, please let us know how you get on. i'm not bothering asking o2 as i'll be on orange soon. expect i will need to ask orange the same.
Marc83 - cheers

Did you try to deasable the notification message using the tweaks in the registry you can find somewhere on this forum ?

ive got hte same problem. Ive tried that and it still wont go away. its So So irritating :evil:

If this is their standard "SMS Sent Notification" you can suppress it by:
Edit your registry, HKCU\control panel\notifications\default\options (DWORD)
Set the value to 4. You will get a momentary Icon on your task bar (top) but I will go away on its own.

this isnt the jingle from the sms sent notification. This is the jingle after it that says "balance: £0.90" etc. It only happens on pay and go phones and it does it after calls and sms no matter what volume setting the phone is on.

I spent quite some time trying to do this and I just now figured out a way...
I used ActiveSync to explore to \windows under 'My Device' and copied notify.wav to my desktop. I then used an audio editor to make it silent and copied it back.
Now when I get the notifications it still plays the notify.wav but it is silent. You could change it to any sound you wanted.
Hope that helps someone...

very good idea, i just wanted to point that out lol

My nodify.wav file is locked by windows... cannot edit it to make it silent. Does anyone have other ideas? It seems a registry tweak might be the best option, but I dont know which one to change in order to stop having the annoying balance notification after each call... thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by locked. When I copied the notify.wav to my windows desktop it was read-only. I had to go into the file properties and uncheck that before I could edit it. Is that the problem your having?
I used Sound Forge to edit the audio file. You could use something like Audacity that is free.
Then I just copied it from my desktop back to the same folder. It asked if I wanted to replace the file and I said yes.
Hope that helps...

I also unchecked read-only in notify.wav, but then I still cannot delete it. The read-only check dissapears when you uncheck it, but when you return to the file properties its still there. It must be protected by the OS. I also tried to modify it using a wav editor, but no luck. Of course, I can copy it on my desktop and edit it there. Its when I want to replace the original that problems occur.
Im both desperate and annoyed by that sound after a call. I also tried deleting almost every Reg key that has something to do with it, but no luck. Thank god HP has a good backup software...
Hopefuly somebody will post a workaround... thanks anyway

well, I wasn't expecting to post a work-around myself.
I went back to XP rather than Vista, and the XP explorer allowed me to change the notify.wav file. Now I have a silent file instead of the original and it works perfectly.
I guess Vista is less permissive than XP.

Interesting that Vista turned out to be the difference...
For those without access to XP, I wrote an installer cab to do the replace.
It should replace the notify.wav with a silent one then ask you to reboot the device. I tested it out on my HTC Wizard and it works. Really the only work it is doing is copying one file so it should just work but you never know...

What a fantastic idea, wish I had thought of that - worked like a charm, cheers buddy!

Notification Sound Changes
All I do with my notifications is find where the .wav files are located by exploring "My Mobile Device" - should be in the "Windows" folder.
Then I get the sound I want i.e. for new SMS messages I have Austin Powers saying "You got mail, baby!!"
I convert the audio format of the file I want to a 16bit, 11kHz sample rate and mono (single channel) .wav file. If it is not this format as a .wav file, it will not play. There are various free audio convertors out there that can do this resampling.
I then copy this amended sample over to the Windows folder in the mobile device, just by copying and pasting in Windows Explorer on the PC
After doing this you can look in the Sounds & Notifications > Notifications Tab. In the drop down box you will find the additional .wav files you have added.

Disable screen wake up on new SMS?

How do I disable screen wake up on new SMS?
Mine gets totally woken up when new SMS comes and if I let it sit inside my pocket for a while (when I can't check sms right away), a few programs are launched and sometimes I am calling someone.
I think the screen gets "touched" while inside the pocket and screen woken up by new sms (fine when sitting on the table with unchecked new sms).
Is there a way to disable this?
I want new SMS to come, vibrate or alert by sound BUT no screen wake up.
I did try searching but I think my search methods aren't that great.
Thanks.

Use xperia tweak

I read it somewhere that if I use xperia tweak and disable screen wake up at new sms, I will get those "new" messages when I wake up the phone.
Meaning, I won't get notified in any way untill I wake the phone up.
Can you please verify this?

Thanks for the link.
It works
For anyone who might have trouble with this issue, I'll add the info.
add in the below line into the registry location :
[HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:1
BTW, I installed Xperia Tweak but I get an error.
I have advanced config installed. would this be the problem?

Make sure you are using right version (depending on your FW):

Repeat notification sound- HTC Pure

How to enable "play sound/repeat" in Sound & Notifications audio settings?
If I missed a notification (email or reminder) I'd like to hear a beep or other sound at selected intervals.

SMS Notification repeat
Since we are noobs and not real, I thought I might share my searching results. First the search only returns results with "sms repeat", and not much with the Topaz. I had the same problem with my old Kaiser, and there was a great little program on Modaco (http://www.modaco.com/downloads-file2400.html) that I think was more about led notification but worked for my need to get repeat SMS notification. (I am a network engineer that is on call a lot)
I did a bunch of registry hacks on the Kaiser but nothing that worked very well and ended up using Phils program above, but not on my Topaz yet. It is still stock ATT rom.
I did find references to 3 other programs:
MissedCallReminder
PhoneAlarm
spb phone suite
The Phone Alarm (http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html) has a couple of varients, and looks like it might be easy to install, and has a small footprint piece called AlarmPal that has a feature of turning on and off bluetooth that might be helpful if battery life is an issue.
Phone Alarm supposedly works on 6.5. AlarmPal looks like just 6.1 and below, but there are posts about Diamond with a WM 6.5 ROM.(less than $12.00US)
Missed Call Reminder is from here (xda-developers) and looks like one of the moderators might be using it but the post is from Nov, 2008. He has updated it and the files in the cab are from April of 2009. It uses 236K of memory. Not sure if that is alot or little.
I do not have time today to try these out, but should have a little time later in the week.

I too would like this feature enabled. There has got to be reg tweak that will enable the "repeat" box to be checked under sounds & notifications. I will search around as well.

I found this in another forum so I will post it here too. It is over a year old post so I'm not sure if it works yet but I will try it out and post my findings if you all want to wait for confirmation if it works or not on WM6.5. Thanks to Jackalz for this find (http://forums.techarena.in/tips-tweaks/992968.htm).
In Registry Editor, navigate to the following registry key branch:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications
There is a lot of registry sub-key inside the Notifications folder. Search through one by one to find and locate a registry entry that has its Default (REG_SZ) value as the name of the event. For example, Messaging: New e-mail message, Messaging: New text message, Messaging: New MMS message, Phone: Missed call and etc.
Once found the correct registry sub-key that represents the event that you want to enable the “Repeat” option, edit the value data for Options value name. Change the value to 1073741835 (in Decimal base) or 4000000B (in Hexadecimal HEX base format). Save and exit from registry editor.
Now the Repeat check box is enabled, and user should be able to set repetitive and recurring event notifications.
EDIT: I have just verified that these registry settings worked. I was able to enable the repeat option for New emails, new text and new mms message. CHEERS!

Edited post: I did the above registry tweak and as in the kaiser, It would not stop repeating after reading the sms. I deselected the repeat option and set the registry key back to 0000000b. back happy again..
Old post:
I will try that one.. On the old Kaiser, it would repeat, but unable to turn it off. It kept repeating, no matter what I did to turn it off.. Thanks,
Jack

SMS repeat notification
AlarmPal worked... and even quit "reminding" me after I turned it off..

SMS repeat notification program testing results
Missed Call Reminder: looks like low footprint but repeated Voicemail notification even when I did not have voice or voicemail notification on. Only way to turn off the voicemail notification was to actually listen to the voicemail, just acknowledging it would not turn off the alert. Also after opening it up once, have to reboot the phone to get back into the configuration. Not a problem if I was able to turn off the voicemail alerts.
Alarm Pal worked as advertised but memory usage climbed from 72% to 82% in 14hrs. Will reinstall and continue monitoring.

ah, maybe that's why they disabled it in the first place. haven't experienced that issue with email's or text messages on mine.

Repeat Notification SMS
Have been using Alarm Pal for a few weeks, and it works quite well. I still have the memory usage pump up to above 80% pretty quickly (8-16hrs) but I am a real heavy user of both email, text, alarms and phone. Any others using something different with a smaller memory footprint?

I used MSentinel, you could try that! (after installing you should check the settings - mine checked the status every 1s and drained the battery very fast)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529227
On my Typhoon I used an modified version of MortScript-based reminder - it does not stay in memory, uses wm-s notifications system and executes itself after given time (made also a full hour bell from it ). Its even possible to create a custom scheduled task with it - for example run pim backup every saturday night.. The original script came with a rom from xda-dev. - dont remember the name of it

[Q] Repeat Notifications box grayed out

On my Phone -Voice Mail setting in Sounds and Notifications the Repeat checkbox is grayed out. Anyone know why?
Thanks

are you using visual voicemail?

It comes that way by default,
If you want to activate it look around for a CAB called:/Regedit Enable Repeating Notifications/.
install, reset than go to Notifications Settings and mark the Checkboxes from the start.
Just one piece of warning,even in case you answered your missed call,SMS or Email for exapmle it will still keep on repeating for another few minutes,however to undo it simply Uncheck the Repeat box.

I'm not using Sense so I doubt I'm using Visual Email, at least that I know of.
I surely don't want to trade this problem for a larger one, such as by having to put up with unwanted repeated warnings after I've dismissed the notification.
I found Control Panel/Notifications/Repeat in the Registry and changed it to a 1, then did a soft reset but it didn't make any difference.
Given that Events seem to have individual different default values I'm thinking that the problem is likely in how the event itself is defined in the Registry as opposed to a global setting there.

This CAB i maked yesterday will help.

Can you tell me what Registry entries your cab modifies? Is your cab uninstallable? With notifications being the primary purpose of my PDA functionality I'd like to make sure I know what it is that I'm modifying. At any rate, thank you!!!

This CAB is uninstalable and modify one value in registry:
"Options"=dword:40000000B
if i good remember. C'mon mate i don't wanna hurt your device wanna help.
