Yipes - having major sms alert problem

Major disaster for me - when sms messages show, no audio alert is being played.
I'm looking at my Sound & Notification settings, and I have:
"Messaging: New text message" set to
Play Sound (checked) - Alarm4
Repeat grayed out (but would love it to repeat - might look at 3rd party)
Display message on screen (checked)
Flash light for no limit
I did the same for: "Messaging: New e-mail messag.." but the rest is cut off. No difference.
Would there be a difference when sending directly to my phone # (#########) vs using email to send to the device (##########@txt.att.net in my case) ??

I jumped too soon, but I mught as well post the solution for future searches:
Photo Contacts PRO was suppressing the audio. Sending to the pager using ##########@txt.att.net was causing the pages to show as "unknown" - the HTC shows it as coming from <today's date as the sender>
Photo Contacts PRO has a SMS audio default, and a "Unknown" default.
The "Unknown" was set to no audio.
Changes it and it works fine.
<Whew!>

SMS Sent Notification

I've got an annoying problem that I can't seem to fix....there is no option in Notifications to change how sent sms notifications arrive - so it vibrates and chimes every time. I need to keep the notifications themselves on, just without the audible notification!
Also, there is an option to set this for MMS messages which seems odd...
Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

Dude- Im sure you have checked the settings in START>Settings>Sounds&Notifications right

Yeah. There is no option to change the notification for sms delivery reports though.

That's strange. it should be on the Notifications Tab in Sounds and Notifications. On the drop down list it should say "Messaging: New text message" you don't have that?

It's 'Messaging: New SMS Report' that I need and seems to be missing.

I have the same problem. I receive a LOT of SMS messages daily (100 and counting just today) and its horrible to get the same sound every 5 minutes!
I seem to have found the solution right here

Haven't installed it yet

Musicman - that settings is for incoming texts, on which you can set all the various options. 'Messaging: New text message'
Ubermark means that every time he sents a txt, you recieve a 'message sent' notification with sound.
What we are missing is a like for like setting for texts on 'Messaging: Sending MMS' - this would allow us to remove sound and/or notifications for text's sent.
Anyone any ideas?

Reg Edit to fix:
- HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox
- create a new key "Settings"
- create a new string value "SMSNoSentMsg" and set the value to 1

do a search fro schap's tools and you can disable it from there

SMS Notification

Hi there, Is there a way of enabling SMS's that are delivered but not to notify me. This way i can just go into a threaded SMS and check if the SMS has been successfully delivered but not counted as part of the overall txt messages received?
Ta

I'm guessing you want to activate the 'SMS sent' notification alert. which is not active by default on the blackstone.
Download and install HD Tweak and then enable tweak 2.1 'enable Sent Notification'.
that should work.

Quote from TFM:
To always receive a delivery notification, tap Menu > Tools > Options in the text message list, tap Text Messages, then select the Request delivery notifications check box.
There's no need for any 3rd party application, it's already there.
It works also for MMSs

Google voice and SMS

It was driving me nuts that in order to get my SMS through my messaging app and use GV for my voicemail to be getting double notifications every time I was receiving a text. I have noticed a few others expressing their frustration with this as well so I thought I'd share what I have done to work for me. Maybe someone else will find it helpful, or less frustrating anyway, too.
First on my phone, I went into the GV > Settings > Sync and notifications and turned off Inbox notifications.
On my PC I went into GV Inbox, then Voice Settings. I clicked on Edit for my phone and made sure there was a check in Receive text messages on this phone and clicked on Save.
Then I click on Voicemail & Text. Under Send a text (SMS) message to I put a check next to my phone. I also put a check next to Transcribe Voicemails and click on Save Changes.
GV must have updated their transcribing software because lately it has been almost spot on.
Anyway, what this does is now I receive my texts through my messaging app and when I get a new voicemail, I receive a text with the transcribed message notifying me that I have a voicemail. The text includes the caller's number so I can return their call directly if the transcription makes sense. I do not receive any notifications directly from GV so no more double notifications.
I keep a shortcut to GV on my default home screen so I can get to the GV inbox directly.
Also, if you use GV extension in chrome, your texts and voicemail notifications still work so you won't have to go to your phone.
I hope someone finds this useful, or if anyone finds a way to only be notified of voicemails, please share, but this really has worked much better for me.

On somewhat of a related note after reflashing my rom and then reinstall of GV I started getting all my texts through GV and all my calls were being screened by Google. Ended up having to remove my phone from GV and then removed GV from my phone. At reinstall I had to make sure not to combine my sprint account and my Google account. Now GV is working again and texts are worked too.

So I tried your way, Poashll. . . but, I still got the dual notifications (GVM and text). So, I've gone a different route.
1. Check the box for "Synchronize Inbox" in GV > Settings > Sync and notifications.
2. Check the box for "Inbox notifications" in the same menu and uncheck "Text messages."
3. On the PC and in GV settings for phone > edit > uncheck the box for "Receive text messages on this phone" > save.
4. Still on the PC and in GV settings for voicemail and text, I make sure the boxes for "Email the message to:" and "Send a text (SMS) message to:" in the voice mail notifications section are unchecked.
I moved the GV shortcut to my "unused/special" pane for easy access for whatever reason.
With this, the only notifications I get are a missed call and the GVM notification. I left transcribe on as well. . . just in case I can actually read it. All of my SMS/MMS come through the Sprint app. . . which makes sense due to the GV MMS issue.
Just another option. . .
EDIT: I just realized that I misread your post and disabled "Sychronize Inbox" insead of "Inbox notifications". . . I guess it's different flavors to the same-ish end result.

I never ported my Sprint number to GV, so it works only as voicemail. I do get emails with the transcription though. I unchecked texts in the app itself. It sends people that didn't have issues did once they were able to port their number.

Yeah, I was dead-wrong with my approach. I thought incoming text messages had been checked, but GV is still intercepting them. . . which is annoying. So I can "uncheck" my phone in settings through the pc and that should make it a voicemail only app?
