SMS notification sound

Hey, does anyone know how to change the notification sound when you receive a SMS? I have the short standard "tune", but I want it to be like the sound you get when you tap a pencil ONCE on a table.
I can't find anything in the manual. Do I need separate software?
Regards
Asbjørn Søbye

Settings->Sounds and Notifications
go to Notifications tab at bottom of screen
For Event: Choose "Messaging: New text message"
Then choose the settings you want.. sound file/vibrate etc. hit OK and you're set.

And if you'd like other sounds than the ones suplied on device, than drop some .wav files in the \windows directory on the device....you can them pick them in the above described way

SMS sent sound
Has anyone sussed out how to change or mute the sound the trinity makes straight after sending an SMS? The menu has every other option except that one and the actual file cannot be deleted!

Not only wav files can be dumped in the windows folder, mp3's will work aswell.
Works on WM6 anyway

Use TrinityHack to disable it

Hi I have a question to ask. Whenever I received a sms, the notification sound will be played til the end even I had already read and close the sms. Is it always like that on a Kaiser or is there anything I can do to disable it?
I still want to have the sound though.

thats the way to go, best little bit of kit ive installed on mine so far to be honest.
it was reallyannoying, having the notification pop up on screen ater a text message was sent, and i had to "dismiss" it.
now its allllll gone!!!
lol

Incoming SMS no notification ...

Hi,
Upgrade to WM6 for the BA, but when there is an incoming sms the device won't notify and LED light no indication at all when the device in standby mode. after wake up the device then i can see there is new sms there. anyone can help ???

same problem here.. not even a sound to know of an incoming sms...

Yep, I get the same thing.
No red light, no sound, nothing. Then I wake it from sleep, and the message appears with sound and led.
Very annoying.

Same prob
Same problem with my BA

Use some app which replaces the SMS notification with its own for example freeware SmileySMS - you can find it in the Development and Hacking section of this forum.

i've already test with my XDA IIs and it work fine, when i receive sms in standy mode, i still receive notification by red light, sound notification, and vibrate.

It seems to be random with mine...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

hi.. the problem of flash red l ight and sond cant be corrected on "sound and notifications"
for sms work fine (inclusive on sleep mode) you must let the messaging program run on memory on the ba. if you close the program, you could not for mose times recive sms . this issue is on wm5 to..
sorry for the ingles

Gee ! i have the same problem . i noticed that after reading this thread Duhh.. hey wtf ? how to fix that ? i understand now why ive been missing all ma messages . ANY FIX PLEASE ????

I had the same issue, and I managed to solve it by going to Sounds & Notifications->Notifications
Select Event: Messaging: New text message
disabled "Play sound", pressed OK
enabled again "Play sound", pressed OK (I also enabled Vibrate)
Don't know if it was because of this, but it is working now (Made reset and it still works).

Didnt work for me

Sorry to hear that. As I said, I don't know if it was that (try different enabled/disabled combinations for Messaging: New text message maybe?).
I also installed WM6_SoundFix_.cab from the AddOn.rar file.

I think this trick worked for me too... But when the BA is on sleep mode.. the alert will only trigger on the second incoming SMS. I have tried this several times.

I am not sure if the notification tone will cause this problem. I try alarm5 (which is in ROM), it works. With other tones, sometimes it only sound halfway. Also, the text messaging program must be running in background.
If you switch off BA when the screen is in text messaging, it will sound on incoming sms, but LED not red.

u need enabled this in "Sound&Notification-New text message-flash light". Red led work, no problem

please cheque returns your program
is there software contra
example smile sms

a
i just installed SecretSMS and i think it helps me with this SMS notification probelm tho not completely. It manages to play the sms notification but doesn't show up the screen.. well i think it's better than nothing, right?
however, anyone know how to set rules for SecretSMS? i try to find a manual, but, ... not found - -~

No SMS Notification WM6.1 Workaround

To those who disabled the Conversation Style in WM6.1
i.e. those who edited their registry to SMSAvailable = 0
some drawback of it is the loss of alert of incoming SMS.
install third party software.
my suggestion is
Electric Pocket Ringo
it's a commercial software.
i never suffered from lacking SMS alert.

I have no 3rd party alert software and I have never suffered from a missed SMS alert either. I guess it all depends on which ROM you have installed.

sorry, i forgot the cause....
i was talking about those who disabled the chat-like style of SMS... via registry entry SMSAvailable = 0
it sometimes disables the alert for incoming SMSs..
will update my post.

chat-like style rules!!
i like the chat-like style. it reduces and narrows down all ur messages in a conversation with the same person, so u don't have to scroll down further to look for message/s sent by the same person. well yeah u have to scroll thru the entire conversation if u wanna look for specific details, but its alot easier, i guess?

Check this previous post of mine, it seems to have helped the member that I replied to quite well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1987977&postcount=156

this is how to disable thread mode without lose notification
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM\SMSInbo xThreadingDisabled=1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMs g=0

Now that would be the FIX not the workaround...
and since it's FIXed you dont have to follow my suggestion. haha...
ok... another one bites the dust... and that's me
happy developing!

hi,
i get some missed sms alerts - not always - maybe 50% of time - but ive not altered any reg settings :/ any ideas?
thanks

This needs to be stickied - it's fixed the problem for me!
Might be worthwhile releasing it as a CAB file for those unwilling to edit the registry themselves?
PS: This problem also occurs in the Shadow 2.1 ROM after disabling threaded messaging

Goto
Start->
Settings->
Sounds & Notifications->
Notification TAB->
Select ... Event:Messaging: New text message on DROPDOWN->
Uncheck "Display message on screen"
-SS-

Solution found!
All these hints did not work for me!
Now i have found a solution: you just need to install "InboxTones" from qorefunctions.com.
In this application you can choose a notification-tone. After you have done this, everything works fine!

No audio alert on new text message

Hi guys
I wondered how I was missing all the texts my mates were sending me and then I found that when I get a text the sound is not working for some reason.
I've checked the sounds are there and working - it's set to "Rooster" sound which is fine (have tried others too) and the volume is turned up (ringtones work fine) but it still won't make sound when a text comes in.
I've done a soft reset etc but still not fixed it. Is there some other setting it could be?
Everything I can think of is right but there must be some other reason why there is no noise when I receive a text.
Any ideas please?! Thanks

try settings / sounds and notifications / enable sounds .... check if the box for events is ticked and the notifications too...
hope this helps

Notifications was switched on as that's what controls the sound settings for texts/MMS/email etc, but Events shouldn't need to be on and I don't normally have it enabled.
Cheers for the suggestion and I've turned it on anyway just in case but I don't think it's that.

Disable the New SMS notification option on "Sounds and notifications", then reset your device, after you reset try to go and enable the new sms notification again ! then try and see if iti works !
i had the same problem with my HD 1.14 with arabic poackage rom, I flash it with 1.19 and the problem didnt go till I made the disable-reset-enable !

Thanks folks - have tried/checked both those options and no result yet.

What is the ringtone you have selected ? Make sure that the file for the selected ringtone is available under the Windows folder.
By trial and error, I found that SMS ringtones are picked up from Windows folder only, whereas all the other tones (incoming call, reminder etc) are picked up from Windows/Rings or My Documents/My Ringtones folders.
Hope this helps .....
Cheers !!

For some reason, I did another reset and it seems to have cured it. Weird!!
Thanks very much for the help guys.

Sound notification problem?

Right,
It seems that sometimes I am getting problems with my sound notifications. Basically the SMS or Email notification sometimes works fine, like normal. Then other times, I get a SMS or Email come through on my HD2, but the sound notification doesn't go off? I don't have the phone on silent, nor vibrate. So I Have to reset the HD2 in order for the notifications to work again.
Anyone else coming across this problem? If so, how did you get "around" it?
Cheers.

Bump.......

Have you changed the manila language?

No, I can only understand English, so wouldn't have changed the language settings in Manila.

Go to:
Settings>All settings>Sounds & Notifications>Notification Tab.
And see what you can do with all those settings there,it took me some time to customize them all to my liking,it is working very well now.

All the same settings since I set the phone up from new (about 2 weeks ago).
Dunno what it is, but I can remember I used to have the same problem on my HTC Kaiser (aka : MDA Vario III)
Grr..

Do you use the 3.5mm jack often? (ie. headphones, speakers, etc. for listening to music/movies) If so, when you unplug them from your phone, your sound settings will automatically turn off/slient. Not necessarily silent or vibrate mode, just off/lowest volume setting. This has been happening to me since day one even with custom ROM. Don't know how else to fix it. I just always change the volume settings right after I unplug.

I've found that since upgrading to the most recent T-Mobile ROM on the website, when I get a text or email the phone will play all of the message or email alert, even if I open the text or email, it continues! Very annoying.
