Annoying problem with Sounds & Notifications

Hey, I have a problem with my incoming text message notification as well as the reminder notification.
No matter how many times i tap the 'Display message on screen' option it unchecks itself after a cerrtain time. same issue for the reminders.
Anyone else 'suffers' from the same symptoms ?

yes, i have the same problem, i guess its with the Dutty 2.1 extreme rom, also, i have strange problem where sometimes, the ringtone changes to some other then the one that we have set. and sometimes it doesnt ring as well.
any help?

Haven't experienced the ringtone changing, but the problem with the ringtone sometimes not ringing is a well documented bug with no fix as yet. Strangely it appears to happen mostly with Duttys 2.1 inc MSVC and not Dutts V2.1 WITHOUT MSVC. If you read the thread on Duttys V2.1 you will see this.
V2.2 is due for release soon and hopefully this bug will be fixed.

I'm using the original ROM and have the problem

I have the problem too, with the original ROM.

Is there a solution ? with mortscript?

Great , Thanks, wow, 2.2 is due, man, i need to do something as i want new roms but cannot afford installing all softwares and doing settings. any way around for it, as i usually install some usefull software, backup sms and restore and its a 4-5 hours process. any method you know using which i can just dump all my settings on the new rom . contacts emails are quick as i use exchange 2007, so they are synced pretty fast.
but what about settings like Advance Config, and Xt9 words , and IE and Opera Favourites etc. please help me for this.
Thanks Rikin

There are different ways of doing this. You can use PIM, SPB Backup or Sprite
In future instead of working hard to reinstall everything, why not just use a backup program like SPB Backup 2 or Sprite.
SPB Backup & Sprite are basically the same. You can use either of these to backup all your settings, including programs, ringtones, contacts etc, then if any problems materialise or you hard reset you use the backup file created to restore to your previous settings.
I have been advised by noris08 that when flashing to a new ROM each of them may have some issues and when you restore the apps, some of them will not work and some will generate some new conflicts
This issue has been explained before but either in this forum or somewhere else.
Another option is to backup personal things with PIM and to reinstall all apps from scratch

You can also check out SASHIMI. After the initial input, it's amazing how easy it is. I just came accross it and I'm still trying it out, but it seems to do the trick atm.

i install my programmes to the storage card, then use total commander after a rom install to create short cut links to programme folder, (although only installed one rom so far, and happy with it, so dunno if this would casue problems with other roms?)
i was worried about re-installing all progs, but took couple mins to create the shortcuts, much happier

Calling from contacts list

This maybe a dumb question but how do you make a phone call from the contacts list ? I go to the contact I want to call, and when I tap call home or call mobile nothing happens. If I tap send txt or email, that works fine. the only way I can make a call is to either manually type the number in, or if I go to my contact, then tap menu, and tap video call then it will make the phone call.
Thanks in advance for any feedback

I had this on one of the ROMs I was trying. Sorry I can't remember which one it was. Now on Dutty's W6.5 R14 and it works fine.
Cheers
Dazza

thanks for the feedback . I noticed there's a 6.5R14 turbo and a 6.5R14(MSVC) I know the MSVC has voice command, what's in the turbo version ?

Supposedly faster than previous roms, so Throy called it Turbo. Rom doesn't have MSVC and a few other apps on previous versions aren't installed

It's the R14 Turbo one (non-MSVC) that I'm currently using. Calls from contacts list works fine!
Cheers
Dazza

This function should work from most if not all roms, so I wouldn't jump in head first and flash a rom. First ask in rom thread for a solution, and then if you want to flash a rom, choose one which best suits you. Throys R14 rom is a very old rom now and there is much improved bersions available

I am using the WM dialer, and have the same problem. which contacts list? via the contacts tab on touchflo, or start menu>contacts?
The workaround is to use the latter...

R14 only came out on September 19th, so it's not that old. Unless you mean the original ROM it's based on?? I've tried lots of different ROMs and it's not really lacking in anything that's in other stuff. Works for me anyway, like the Leo ones too, but didn't find them as stable.
Like you say though, best to find whatever suits you best.
Dazza

Sorry if i ask on this post but i made a lot of search to get this when i travel i have problem when call someone i have to edit country codes of all my contacts, so it must be something done for calling out of country without editing every time the country codes.
So is anyone knows how to make that

[Cab] Leo SMS Fix for HD (new fix cab added)

Hi all,
I made a cab from the 2009-12-15 Leo SMS fix (http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=812&news_id=407), so this can be installed on other devices with Sense 2.5..
I'm on a sense 2.1 rom currently, so can't test it...So be careful, it might break ur SMS function, test with your own risk and always backup (I guess the new 2.02 package has the update already or even a better fix)..
happy new year!!
George
New SMS Fix Cab added (dated 2010-01-14):

i'm not sure what it fixes... but it doesn't seem to fix the annoying slow messaging thingy... I was just coverting the .exe which can only be installed on HD2 to a cab that can be installed on every device..
I have heard that the htc messaging in the 2.02 pack is fast, anyone tried it?

what is your point in creating a thread with a cab entitled "sms fix" and you are
not sure what it does? shouldn't you have tested it first and shared to us what
exactly it can help?

no offense, but i agree with jigners... hopefully the OP has had time to test it by now!

Am I the only one in this thread that uses the actual HTC site? or do people just like to hijack threads and flame people who are doing what they can to help the community... As I remember no one else knew what the Leo Camera Fix did either, but it proved useful, at least for some.

Looks to me like HTC don't really say what the fix "fixes" but THANKS for creating the CAB, i'll have a look and see what it effects if anything. If it's worth it I'll cook it in for my next flash

Okay, have just installed the CAB.
So far no noticable difference when sending / recieving SMS.
I'm using my own custom ROM, using WinMo 6.5 28014, and most of the packages from Leo 1.48.
Thanks again for the CAB anyway.

@Jigners
When the fix first came out, I tried it but it won't install on hd. and now I learned how to create the cab, so I just made it. I need to have my phone switched on all day right now and I'm with a sense 2.1 ROM, so can't test it, but I thought someone with a lower leo build may want to try it...
yes, you are right..sorry for let you down.. I won't do it next time.
@Swarvey&PooPoo
Sorry for wasting your time... thanks for your kind words

also gonna give it a go
still on a energy rom of 23-09 whit m2.51919
will report back later
ps gonna restore over 800 messages to test it to the ultimate

well tested it and it works sort off
i can type directly but the message im replying to isnt shown
so its kinda a fix

hi,
have you tried restoring tons of messages to see if the slowness has been somehow fixed ? Last time I've tried with 2.5 the phone almost got stuck (with about 600 messages)

I sort of think the 2 posts directly above your post answers that question don't they

thanks, I could read those, but I'd like a bit more of an explanation:
you installed the fix and restored tons of sms, what I'd like to know is this:
- adding a contact with a lot of sms history to favourites slows down the phone ?
- opening such contact slows down everything ?
- I understand there is no sms history shown in the manila contact at all ? actually that point isn't very clear to me. where is that the original message is not shown ?
what I'd like to know, if you have got time to explain it to me, is what actually the fix changes, and how fast it makes opening sms history on a contact.
One last minor point is that a big sms history had most sms cut to one or two lines.
Regards
Andy

well for from the contact page i cannot tell you as i have flashed my phone a couple of times afterwords(im trying to build my own)
for the sms not shown
when i get a new message i go the message tab and click the sms
there im supposed to see the threaded conversation between the person im replying to
the whole conversation doesnt load(waited about 3 min)
but i can directly type a reply to the text message whitout a lag
hope this sorts of that question

does it work for 2.1 manila?
and come on people! just thank this guy for even bothering to create a cab and sharing it in this community.

no, the sms fix is only for Leo package lower than 1.49...and the weather fix is for any sense 2.5.. I think 2.1 manila does not need any fix, both sunny animation and sms are working ok in 2.1 manila

HTC Messaging kills message notification

This post is dedicated to all who have problems with incoming SMS notification while PPC is in sleep mode.
It should be read by rom developers also to be able response on user reports.
Last time I tried new roms and found that while PDA is in sleep mode, new SMS doesn't fire sound notification often. Sound was played just after waking device up. But in sleep mode delay was unacceptable: from seconds up to hours (means never).
I reported this issue to all devs of roms I've tested. without any result. Other users reported that it works for them fine.
I did some tests and found that the reason is 'a lot of SMS' probably in conjunction to HTC Messaging. I have to be fair and use 'probably' word, because I didn't tested it on ROM versions without HTC Messaging yet (I'll do that as fast as possible)
However a few rom ago I used ROM w/o this program and noticed none of described issue.
Tests:
I did tests by sending SMS through internet SMS gateway.
PDA has been located in way, making possible to hear noise of incoming SMS from speakers
I've tested it on Roms: Energy, Grzegorz10, XanyTech.
Finally I've tested threaded and normal mode (w/o difference)
Result of tests gives the clue:
PDA responses on new SMS immediately when
- PDA is just after flashing
- after removing all SMS messages
When in inbox/set box is a lot of messages (more than 300 in my case) - the issue I just described appears.

maxym, i also have this issue with several tested rom's. this is one of the reasons that i am trying new rom's to solve this problem. i will try to empty my message box to see if this solve the problem

Just to add my own 2 cents to it, I have faced the same problem with Miri's Manila 2.5 v19 no HTC messaging.
Here are my observations
1. I upgraded to Radio 1.17 and problem disappeared but battery life was HORRIBLY. Battery life with 1.13 is fantastic for me so shifted back to 1.13.
2. With Radio 1.13, after each reset or restart, if I receive and read one message (from any other phone. I usually send a sms from wives phone to mine) then all the rest I receive till next restart, I get notification even when my phone is in standby.
I am just about to try Kwbr's Rhodium 1.3 Rom (with sense 2.1) to see if its the same case and report back (will again use my favourite 1.13 Radio)
Edit: No problems so far with Kwbrs Rhodium Rom version 1.3 while using Radio 1.13 with GREAT battery life!

I have try and almost empty my messages but seems that this did not help. again i have to power on the HD to receive the notification for a new message.
Is there any solution or any suggestion to try?
Thanks

try disable on Settings/Battery panel the "Automatically adjust backlight" or similar, i red about LookUp issoue.
if problem not solved, flash not cooked ROM, and than cooked ROM, or change Radio ROM.

I have the same Problem and just discoverd this thread.
I'm on Blackstonehenge Hyper 1.5, HTC Messaging Client is 3625.
Auto Adjust Backlight is turned off, and also changing the time until Device goes to Standbymode didnt do anything to me. I seriously hope anyone will be able to fix this.
Tested it with Radio 1.13 , 1.15, 1.17 . Before every single Flash i used Task29 to clear up the Partition.
Any other ideas?

I had the same problem with version 2014.2622
I deleted all messages - also the deleted files (!!!)
Then I uninstalled HTC Messaging and installed version 2014.3625
Since then everything works normal - now one day.
Keeping fingers crossed.

With the Xennytech 2.8B I've got the same problem
Now I'm going back to the Xennytech 2.1B and sms notification working fine.

I removed the last HTC Messaging Client, i've tried - deacitivated sense, with Taskmanager killed the "Messages" Process and installed HTC Messaging from here , it's the HTC Messaging, used in Energy's Roms - this one is working for me and i know have my Notification. Hope it helps someone.

possible solution?
hi guys,
what about installing BsB Tweaks v1.6 and enable "SMS Wake Up" under "General"?
let me know

SMS Wake Up does work, Notifications will come immediatley than, but it will always turn the Screen on

I have also the similar problem to you guys. Running blackSTONEhenge™ HyPer v1.7 and Wajks HTC Messaging. Very annoying, but I will uninstall it, as Wajk made the ROM without HTC Messaging.
Just curious: Do you all use Co0kies Home Tab? I do, but don't know wether it can be the problem too?

No its not CHT - i always try this on empty clean Roms with just the default installed applications.
You can give me some Informations:
- How did you flash? with or without Task29? USPL or HSPL?
- Which Radio do you use? Which Rilphone Version?
- Which Operator do you have? Did you try updating your Operator Settings (Startmenu->Settings->Connections->Connection Setup->Menu->Update Database
Maybe we will find the Solution, till now only a few people seem to have this error - i guess it has something to do with the relation between Operator and new HTC Messaging

Hi, I removed HTC Messaging and it partially solved the problem - i can hear SMS notification sound, but the sign indicating a new SMS received is displayed only on the upper end of the screen as an envelope and not on the Messages icon as it once did - if before uninstalling HTCmessaging the sign showed up without a sound, now its the other way around.
Do you have any solutions for that?
Thank you,
Menash

hey guys... its good to know im not along with this problem...
same symptoms as what you guys describe, sms only get notified when you bring the phone out of sleep mode...
tried several roms... cloudy 2.2... energy... and all with same issues... always hard reset after new flash.. even went and task29 between each roms to make sure...
tried radio 1.17 and 1.14.... makes no difference...
atm.. only way around it for me... leave it plugged into usb all day... at least this way when i get a sms/msg it comes through when it should...

am i the only one to NOT have this problem??? i get the notification sound when a text comes thru in sleep mode fine. been using energy roms

Hi,

Yea, but it always turns your screen on while receiving a message and thats also pretty annoying. I guess it's something HTC Settings Enhancement based. I compared different HTC Messaging Clients, but there arent so many different Registry-keys in them. Also NRG'z Client ist the only HTC Messaging Client working for me.
I tried five Clients from the new 1.8 Version, i tried a different rom,i flashed with and without Task29, i tried different Radios - nothing seems to work, and nobody seems to care.
I will stay on NRG'z Messaging Client, cause im sick of flashing because of this Error.

A few bugs ive noticed... Any fixes?

Hello, i am running 1.66 rom on a generic htc hd2 with a t-mobile contract.
I cant update to the very latest rom because theyve only released it for branded phones!
The first bug ive comes across is the Facebook profile pictures in my favourites list sometimes switch around betweeen different people, so say joe's profile picture appears on bills name! happens every so often, and its very irritating. the only solution is to delete both contacts and re enter them into the phone!
The second is when im texting, at the start of the text, after i have done a few characters, sometimes it scrolls up to the last text and selects it, meaning i can still type, but i cant see what im typing, the keyboard covers everything im typing.
Incredibly irritating, i then have to minimize the keyboard, then maximize it aagain.
Also, a new occurance, when i switch on my phone it says launching htc sence and stays there for ages, when i click the cross, i get onto my phone, its as if sence had already loaded and just not removing the message.
The next thing is the wifi, is it meant to switch off affter a while? my battery went from 100 percent to 0 in about 5 hours! (not even joking) i just leaave it off now..
OOh and whilst im at it, one more thing. Can you sync your emails over data conneection? It always displays 'synchronisation error' when ever i try to sync over data connection, but on wifi it connects and downloads perfectly!
Any ideas on any of these issues? has anyone else experienced them?
thanks in advance

I don't use the Facebook app as it is absolutely usless, but after a search I found this -'Go into all people then select your contact. Then select Edit Contact. Then press where the profile picture should be. A 'Set Contact Photo' option should pop up. Next to the Facebook profile it should have a downloading icon. Once that was done i selected Facebook Profile and all was working.'

There is an SMS update from the HTC website, but I believe this just addresses SMS failure to deliver issues. However, flashing a custom ROM with 235xx (WM 6.5.x) will definately eliminate this problem, as it uses a different SMS application. I'd assume flashing a custom 21907 (WM 6.5) would fix it too.

I am assuming you have BSB Tweaks installed? If so you have the 'Wifi Standby' option in Connections selected on. If you don't have it, download it and make sure it's disabled.

I get this regularly (and also having the keyboard go mental sometimes, switching character sets, entering characters when I'm trying to backspace etc). Seems worse when the phone's hot or when I'm outside and it's windy! But that might just be a coincidence.
I actually sent the phone back to HTC a month or two ago (their customer service was fantastic btw - picked up the phone on a Monday, I had it back by Friday all by courier).
There was a note in there saying they'd reconnected the touchscreen. Everything seemed okay for a while but it's doing it again (I've never dropped the phone or anything). Wonder if it's a loose connector or something.
Mine's unbranded, so I'm waiting for the next ROM update (currently 1.66). If that doesn't fix it I'll ask for a replacement phone (not a fixed one).

There is an SMS update from the HTC website, but I believe this just addresses SMS failure to deliver issues. However, flashing a custom ROM with 235xx (WM 6.5.x) will definately eliminate this problem, as it uses a different SMS application. I'd assume flashing a custom 21907 (WM 6.5) would fix it too.

thanks for the help! You say i would benefit from flashing a custom rom 235xx, what type of rom is that? for instance you have energy rom etc. Sorry if im sounding like a noob, but i like the original layout of my hd2, and dont want too change it too much if possible, but i would like the performance increases that come with it. thanks

253xx puts the Start button at the bottom of the screen and makes menus and scroll bars bigger, it's called WM 6.5.x.
219xx is the stock look with the Start button at the top and no so finger friendly menu systems.
That's the basics of the differences between them both.

ok thanks i think ill installl standard reference energy rom 235xx one.
Do i need to change my radio before i flash? i have hspl installed.
The reason being is that i have changed the radio rom before and the signal was no where near as good as the stock radio rom. So i flashed back.

If you have an international HD2 you have to install a 2.xx.50.xx radio before you flash the Energy ROM. if you leave a 2.xx.51.xx radio on the device you'll brick it.

ok thanks, im gonna update the rom now. The rom i have currently is far superior, but i will flash anyway and make the compromise.
Thanks

There was a note in there saying they'd reconnected the touchscreen. Everything seemed okay for a while but it's doing it again (I've never dropped the phone or anything). Wonder if it's a loose connector or something.
Mine's unbranded, so I'm waiting for the next ROM update (currently 1.66). If that doesn't fix it I'll ask for a replacement phone (not a fixed one).

Thank you for your feedback!
And also thank you the OP who posted about that SMS problem- which I kept reporting with no echoes.
1) Yeah "reconnected the touchscreen" my @ss. That problem was fixed as soon as I changed ROM.
2) "theres a patch for problem with SMS", my @ss, I installed it did not fix anything- Also, if you read the rom's releases notes everything is "fixing the sms". They forget to mention that they moved the "task manager" in rom 1.66 and changed a few other things-
3) i still had lot of bugs with that rom and device. Now some of them are removed and I'm using Artemis 22A- A few bugs but all minor so far- so I finally start to "enjo..."erm hard word to say after so many months of troubles.
4) also for the "quietly brilliant support" you mention, I would not be so happy if you really knows what happens there: it's likely they will swap your device with 2nd hand device as they discontinued the manufacture of new devices. Also they had shortage of 1 part and they took it from random devices...
My point is you also risk to get 2nd spares part or the whole 2nd hand part... not too nice as it does not means that the original fault/flaw is fixed, and its gambling until your warranty expires...
