No audio alert on new text message - Touch HD General

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.

sms notifications not working anymore!

hello,
I'm having a strange problem where my sms notification just won't happen.
when i recieve an sms, all that happens is on my today screen, the "no unread messages" will change to "1 unread message" (or whatever the text is), and thats it.
in my sounds and notifications screen i have it set to
1) play a sound
2) vibrate
3) flash the top right light indefinitely
4) display on screen notification (i assume this is the bit where it pops the bubble down with the message text in it)
it doesnt do any of this!
and it doesn't seem to make a difference if i turn off all the notifications, or turn some of them on, it still doesn't work.
it seems to have happened since it hard reset itself a couple of weeks ago... i dont think it's worked since then..
thanks guys.
Exact Match
Hello,
I've got the same problem, when I check sounds and notifications screen and tap the PLAY icon the notify sound sounds ok, I select another sound for testing.
Sending a sms doesn't trigger the newly selected sound.
Can someone post the registry hive to check if something went wrong in the registry?
Thanx in Advance, annoying that SMS notifications doesn't work anymore..
Tom from Holland
I Didn't hard reset whatsoever.... so little difference.
In the end i think i fixed this by hard resetting again.. sorry! it was a few months ago now.

Sound Settings software bug in WM5?

Hi guys...
i've been experiencing a few software problems on the phone. can you check this out for me...
I have all my sounds set to different ring tones.. ie. phone ring is dog bark. reminder is alarm 3. new message is something else..etc.
Everything remains fine... until a reminder goes off for an appointment
Whenever i make an appointmentwith a reminder and it then goes off, it plays the pre-installed default sound instead of the one i've chosen. What it also does...is it then resets ALL of my sound settings including my phone ring, my new SMS sent, my wake up alarms to the original default sounds. WTF?
After 7 hours of trying different things..I've narrowed it down to the reminders. so.. no reminders = i keep my sound settings...and i can't stand the preset bank of sounds the TYTN came with. grr.
Can you verify that for me please? is it a software bug? I'm in montreal this week getting married (YAY) and so i'm going to be away from my machine and cant afford to do a hard reset and lose all my contacts).
Thanks In Advance
Cheers.

PS.
Also, anyway to set all sounds to go to the storage/my documents/my music folder instead of the internal windows "ring" folder? i'd love to know how to edit this in the registry (i'm sure it can be done), and use this folder for all my reminder/alarm/msg/ring sounds...Its just I have no experience in hacking the registry or know where to begin looking.
thanks

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

SMS sound gone

Hi,
I dont know when or why this has happened, but suddenly my sms sound was gone. I read some threads that referred to this happening because threaded sms was disabled the wrong way. But i have threaded SMS enabled, aswell in settings as in HD tweak. I turned in settings - sounds & notifications on: Events Programs and Notifications. Although i originally had those switched off because i dont want those sounds. With that turned on now when i get a text message I hear: Boss you have a new message. Like wtf... I just want the original SMS sound back. Can anyone help me? Btw i Run Dutty's rom 1.7
greetings.
Little bump i really want this fixed and searched entire XDA and google cant find nothing.
same problem here.
i'll wait with you.

O2 notification sound problems...

Hey everyone. I have an ANNOYING problem on my HD2! Whenever I send a text or make a call, my phone brings up a little bubble/white bar on the top right of the device which shows how much credit I have left, accompanied by an annoying sound. The thing is, I want to know how to turn off this sound, and disable the notification pop-up. Whenever I play music, the sound makes my music come out of the speakers when my headphones are plugged in. It's annoying! I can't find any solution...
Thank you
BTW It only happens on my O2 sim, but it's the one I use the most lool!
try
Start>Settings>Sounds & Notifications >Notifications>message :send succeeded and uncheck the lists if you have any checked mate
