Over the week end i set and alarm to go off at 9am every morning,
it went of ok, and i dismissed it
but one morning something went wrong and the dismiss prompt dissapeared,
Now every day at 9am the alarm goes of, but there isnt a dismiss prompt appearing to get rid of it, it only sounds for a few minutes.
Also every time i do a soft reset the alarm sounds too.
Can any one help?
i have Helmi BA WM2k5 AKU3.2 Beta (v.1.3.2 Beta) on my phone.
Hi,
Did you sort this out?
I've just had a call from a friend who's having the same problem
it seems that you have a stuck notification....
use a a program that can check for duplicate notefications to delete the offending one .i belive memaid or sktools does that.
I have exact same problem
I have exact same problem can someone please explain what to do in detail to get rid of this, as I'm a bit of a newbie at this kind of stuff.
Many Thanks
Stoogman
Used MemMaid, used SKTools. No duplicates. SMS notifications work. Task, calendar and clock notifications don't. Any suggestions if this is not a stuck notification?
Pardon me if this sound stupid. I am having problem getting a ringtone for incoming call to "stick" in the phone setting. I have this MP3 ringtone that I like and would like to set it to ring whever the incoming calls are from stranger, private caller or people not on my contacts and contact I've not assigned unique ringtone to.
I would go into phone>sound>ring tone to set it to that MP3. But after a little while, it would revert back to "Ring-WindowsMobile" tone which is not loud enough for me.
Anyone knows how to make my selection of ring tone stick once I set it?
Thats strange, my ringtone sticks.
Maybe you havent placed the ringtone on the device?(Has to be on device not storage card)
I am using a ring tone stored in the device under window\ring.

I had the same problem. I installed the WAV file in the ringtone folder and it worked, until I installed GSPlayer. It made file associations, including WAV files and so it wouldn't play as the ringtone. So if you've installed some sort of media player recently, check the file associations. If they play WAV files, then uncheck it and your ringtone should work.
I have the same problem.
I'm using the 8125 "OldRing .wav" in my \My Documents\My Ringtones folder. The ringtone sticks for a few days, through soft resets and such, and then suddenly one day it just changes back to the crappy default Ring-WindowsMobile.
I haven't figured when or why it switches back, but I don't think it has anything to do with media players. I've got lots of media players installed (MortPlayer, Pocket Player, PocketMusic, and TCPMP). I use them all the time and they don't appear to affect my ringtone.
If it matters to anyone, I'm using Helmi's Dynamic Big Storage. Can't remember if this happened on my stock AT&T ROM.
Forced ringtone
This happened to me again. I think it happens after my phone locks up and has to be reset via button next to mic.
Anyway, I was fed up with this, so I figured if something keeps reverting our ringtone to default, why not change the default to the ringtone we want? I did a search in the registry for Ring-WindowsMobile and found/changed it at these keys:HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Phone\Wave = ringtone
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\DefaultSound = ringtone
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\RingPreview\DefaultSound = ringtone
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Ring0\SavedSound = ringtone
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Ring0\Sound = ringtone
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Ring2\Sound = ringtoneI also added my ringtone the beginning of this multistring (in case the first is selected as default somewhere):HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingtonesHopefully this should take care of our problem!

Please advise if the above works and it rings your preferred ring tone. Thanks.
Does it work??
Hi BennTech,
Please advise whether your registry changes got rid of the WM ring tone and replace it with your preferred ringtone permanently.
Thanks!
So far so good...
I haven't posted back that they work because my ringtone switching happens rarely--maybe once or twice a week, and thus I can't verify that this fix works yet. However, I'll only be able to tell if the fix doesn't work, because if it does work, then when the phone switches back to "default" for no apparent reason, it should stay as my ringtone because the default IS my ringtone. Quid pro quo.
Regardless, there's no reason for you not to change them, too. However, if you're worried about what you're changing, here's a little more information:HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Phone: default ringtone settings for known callers (I think)
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring: default ringtone settings
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\RingPreview: not sure where this one is used, but virtually every hack of the previous key changes this one as well
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Ring0: your current ringtone settings
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Ring2: no idea, but don't think it's used
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Ringtones: multistring that lists only ringtones. Only these ringtones and the sound files from \My Documents\My Ringtones show up in the Phone control panel, as opposed to the Sound control panel that lists all sounds. If you put your ringtone in \Windows, you'll need to mod this to have it show up in Phone control panel.
Thanks for your feedback. Currently I am trying out mring and set the unknown/no caller ID/no specific ring tone assigned callers to play my favorite MP3 ring tone.
So I'll wait for the mring trial period expires, before I modify the registry based on your advice.
i could not set unique ring to each contact,bec my contacts were on my sims, u need to have the contacts in the phone memory to use that feature. once copied my contact to the phone it worked like a charm

That's not the problem we have. I don't use sim contacts at all, and I'm not trying to assign unique rings. We're setting the regular ringtone and it works for a period of time, but then it mysteriously reverts back to WM6's default Ring-WindowsMobile.
BTW, so far so good on my hack. Been a week and my ringtone hasn't reverted back to the lame default.

I have the same problem on my T-mobile Dash WM5. It happened after I installed PocketMusic. I uninstalled it , and no change yet. I restarted the phone, nothing.. :S I believe I have lost the mp3 plugin support, cuz the explorer doesn't recognize the mp3 format now. Can anyone help us please ?

I think you're trying to say that since you uninstalled PocketMusic, your .MP3 files are no longer associated to a media player and thus give you an error like "There is no application associated with..." when you launch them in Explorer. Correct? That's an extension-mapping problem, which you can correct with a utlity like Resco Explorer. This thread is about ringtones, specifically how our phone's ringtone mysteriously reverts back to the WM6 default.
Any idea why?
I have Xpress Mail set up to push my work emails to my Tilt. It seems that everytime a new email comes in via Xpress Mail, the ring tone will automatically revert to WM6 default ring tone (even though I've set it to use my favorite MP3 tone).
Other emails come in (not via Xpress Mail) do not cause the ring tone to change though.
What gives?????

Wow. That's weird. Personally, I don't use XpressMail because I've got my own Exchange server at home. My Exchange push doesn't appear to corrupt my ringtone.
However, at least this gives you a reproducible test to see if the hack works. Try changing the registry entries one at a time (or all three at once to different ringtones), send yourself an e-mail, and let us know if the hack fixes the problem and which registry entry it reverts to (should be HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\DefaultSound).
I've made one registry change as per your advice as below
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\MyMP3 tone
Before email came in, called my Tilt (with blocked caller ID) it rang my MP3 tone perfectly. But then I sent myself an email (via Xpress Mail) and after the email came in, it reverted back to WM6 default ringtone. Worst was, when I called my Tilt (with blocked caller ID) it would display a call came in (private) but did not ring a sound.
Now I just changed the registry to the dafault WM6 tone again, at least I won't miss any call.
Are there anything I should do?
Sorry for late reply.
Well, shoot. I don't know what's going on there. I'm running out of ideas here, but there's still a few things to try/eliminate since you can reproduce the problem at will.
Check the ring volume. Do your test and check the ring volume just to be sure that's not the problem. I only bring this stupidly simple check because a couple of times my ring volume has mysteriously set itself to off despite the fact the I toggle between full and vibrate only.
Check if the issue is MP3 only. Change the registry values to a WMA sound file instead of MP3, then run your test to see if the problem is specific to MP3 or if it extends to Windows' default extension.
Test all registry entries. Change the values of all the registry entries I listed, preferably each to a different WMA ringtone, and test again. This should tell you which registry entry it's using when it corrupts the ringtone.
Search the entire registry for the default ringtone and replace it. As a last resort, do a simple find in your registry for "Ring-WindowsMobile" and replace all occurrences with another WMA file. There shouldn't be any others, but if there is, change them and test again (and let me know where they are).
I know this is a lot of tedious testing, but since the ringtone is kinda vital for phone functionality I guess its worth it.
Good news for me...my ringtone appears to finally be sticking. Haven't had it revert back since I made the registry changes two weeks ago. Woohoo!

1/ Ringtone is on
2/ Will give it a try with ringtone other than MP3
3/ I did change all registry settings but to no avail
Another thing I noticed is that, when Xpress Mail arrives, besides reverting the ringtone to WM6 tone, it also changes the ring type. I set it to Vibrate and ring, but it would revert to vibrate then ring. Strange.

Forgive me for replying here, as I own a TYTN, not a KAISER, but I too was having this issue using the stock AT&T WM6 Rom, and I also have Xpress Mail installed. I just used the regedit approach to find all of the places where the stock ringtone existed and replaced all of them with the name of the ringtone I want to use.
FWIW, I never associated the problem with Xpress Mail, as I found my phone reverted whenever it was boot ... either with a power cycle or a soft reset. I don't often SR, but as I change my batteries daily, it meant I had to remember to reset my ringtone every day or it was back to the default.
Anyway, after doing the regedit, I found my desired ringtone is now sticking between power-cycles and soft resets.
As an experiment, I finally sent myself an Xpress Mail, and I am happy to report that it did not change the ringtone back to the default.
But as a question to joeleung888 ... do you also have phoneAlarm installed? I mention this because:
1) I cannot see the association between this problem and Xpress Mail
2) There were some difficulties in development of phoneAlarm and the Tilt
3) phoneAlarm would be accessing both Xpress Mail AND your ringtone settings
Based on these three things, maybe the problem lies with the combo of phoneAlarm and Xpress Mail. Maybe try uninstalling each of them, one-at-a-time, and testing. It MIGHT isolate the problem. If the problem is with phoneAlarm, you should alert Bruce (aka Penguin) on the pA forums. He is always very helpful.
Anyway ... just an idea. Good luck,

Hi,
I'm not sure if anyone here can give me a hint on this, but here goes. I flashed my TyTN II with Dutty's 6.1 ROM a while back. I'm not sure if it's related, but for some reason my phone stopped playing the notification sound for when a text message is received.
In Settings > Sounds & Notifications, however, on the Notifications tab the "incoming text message" event is wired up to a sound just fine. Similarly, on the Sounds tab I have Events, Programs and Notifications all checkboxed.
Do you any other reason why this event wouldn't fire or why it doesn't play the notification sound?
Have you installed, or are you using Palm SMS?
There is a seperate option in Sound and notifications for Incoming Message (Palm SMS). You may need to change this to something else and then back again to get it to stick.

First of all, there is a thread about this rom, in which this problem is explained and solved at least 3 times, it's really not hard to search instead of making another thread that is just cluttering space for no useful reason.
If you disable the Microsoft Voice Command, your SMS sound will go back to a proper working order, you can do so In Start-->Settings--> MSVC
I think his question is legitimate. I have exactly the same problem and have also not found any solution in the more than 180 sides of the Dutty thread. And thanks for your hint with the Voice Commander. I tried it also but it still does not work.
Yeah, sorry. Didn't want to clutter up the forum with something that has already been covered. However, I don't even know if this is related to Dutty's ROM, but one seems to expect so. Searching for this problem has also proved a bit difficult. I just don't get any usable results.
I have not installed Palm SMS, unless it's installed on Dutty's ROM. However, I don't think so.
Furthermore, I don't believe I have Microsoft Voice Command, neither. As far as I can tell, it's commercial speech recognition software by Microsoft, and not standard with Windows Mobile 6.1.
I'll go through some of the many pages on the Dutty thread to see if I can find more information.

Have you installed any other software? Any registry tweakers like Kaiser Tweak etc? Dutty's ROM has AdvancedConfig installed by default. You may want to check the message settings in that.
Well, yes, I installed a ****load of applications. One could of course be the cause of all this, but I simply don't have any idea. AdvancedConfig has three messaging options:
- SMS sent notification: Disabled
- SMS delivery notification: Disabled
- SMS Unicode support: Enabled
Somehow SMS delivery notification doesn't sound like it's about incoming SMS messages, but it's strange that there is one for sent and delivery. So I'll enable that and see what happens.
Running low on ideas...but...
I take it all other sounds do work? If not try a new Radio.

Some time ago I had a similar problem. In settings/notification.... in the box for New text message there is a option to play to file. Even if I clicked the play, it didnt play the ringtone. Later after a hardreset I realized that it was someway connected to audio manager and playing wav files. The audio manager was not able to play the wav files. Maybe the file was not associated with the player. Just my two cents.
Alright, success! After setting SMS delivery notification to Enabled in AdvancedConfig, I tested it out. And there was both sound and vibration, too (which it didn't before neither). So I suppose that setting was the culprit, although I have no clue why it got set to Disabled. Also, I am amazed that apparently this really pertains to incoming text messages instead of messages I sent out.
Mikulec: I had some problems with ringtones before. Once it didn't want to play custom ones any more. Since I flashed my ROM, I never really figured out why it did that, but maybe it was because of some media player I had installed that took over some file associations. Who knows.

This setting is just for notifying u that the message u have sent was delivered. This shouldnt be tha cause.
But I am glad it works now.
This is annoying, then. It works now, but I'd like to know what fixed it. I did a few different things over the course of trying to fix my problem, of course, but nothing that I thought would be The Solution.
On top of this, I don't get a delivery notification for messages that I have sent after toggling that setting, so it appears to be not working correctly.
I suppose sometimes you just have to not ask questions and move on...
Thank you!
Thank you very much! After much time in searching, I've also didn't realized that is because of Advanced config. Now it's really works!
As above, delivery notifications would normally be a delivery receipt for messages that you've sent - when enabled you'll get a message from 'System Administrator' telling you when the SMS you sent was delivered to the receipient.
If enabling that has solved your problems, great. One thing to note though if you are getting receipts is that sometimes networks charge for these delivery receipts, and these generally won't be included in any allowances for SMS/calls etc. with your subscription.
In the UK I know Orange charge 0.9p for each one they send to you. ...My orange bill was £623 last month and one of their suggestions to reduce it was to turn delivery reports off. When I'd stopped laughing we agreed that wasn't really going to contribute too much!
Regards,
Rob.
Hi,
I had the same problem with my Touch HD (Blackstone). I change cooked ROMs a lot, and sometimes I don't have sounds in notification area (new SMS, new e-mail, etc...).
I use the Free Mp3 Wma Converter to convert all mp3's and wav's to wma format. After that, just transfer wma files to the /Windows directory on Your device, pick sounds in "Sounds & Notifications" and it should work It's just that easy
Hi,
after searching for weeks around ways to make the ring tone for text messages work, I found that even though there exist several proposals to solve the problem, many htc diamond users still apparently don't succeed in getting it done, myself included.
The problem is that if a message arrives, the phone returns to normal mode if on standby, the lights flash, but NO TONE is played. No matter if in standby mode or not.
So far I tried the following which at least made the phone wake up and the light flashes. However, no sound is played and moreover the message is not displayed. (I am not using Manila but SPB Mobile Shell (tried 2.15 and 3.0 and without, but does not change).
things tried:
1) I did several Hard Resets including using a totalling of five different ROMs (including one with 6.5)
2) Trying all possible settings in the alerts and Notifications menus, Vibrate, Program Sounds, built-in sounds,...
3) edit the registry to make the phone wake up on Message
4) Install the HTC Hotfix for the greyed out REPEAT option
The strange thing is, once I flash the phone new, it works for about one day, but then stops (however, I used to install some programs during that period, so far could not 8for the lack of time) find out what was the particular reason.
but after about 10 complete new Flashs I am really desperate that one of the most simple features of cellphones, an text message beep, seems not possible with the HTC Touch Diamond.
In any case, I know there are a lot of discussions around this issues but I tried all of them and it seems that they don't work for many others as well, while it does for some.
It would be great to have a final thread getting this issue fixed ultimately!
Thanks for your experiences / ideas !
cheers,

Solved
So after long trials and errors, I found one more reason why one cannot hear text message sounds:
I had deleted the Activesync Registry Key in order to get rid ot the Outlook Email Account as suggested in several threads. Apparently this made the sms sound not work anymore, for whatever reason.
Just restored the backup of the Active Sync key to HKLM Software Microsoft Inbox Svc and voilá!
well i think this is one of the most crucial and important problem with HTC phones...i had the same problem with my HTC Touch before...hopefully this should not start with my new diamond.
solution of that i found was something similar what u stated. i tried deleting my smses..i had more than 3000 sms in inbox and in outbox around 2500...so i deleted say around 1000 sms ..which might played some trick and then sms sound started...unfortunately my htc touch then got stolen ...i wish i would have not fixed that problem for thief to go with same misery of not getting incoming sms sound
it didn't work for me....grrrr
any new solutions?

Same problem here.
I was hearing sounds in incoming emails a few days ago but suddenly no sound is played when i receive an email.
I didn´t delete any registry value, so i don´t know if your solution can help me, but... do you remember the registry key to review, please?
Thanks!
Still looking for a solution anyway
EDIT: I have found a pseudo-solution: if i check the box "Display message on screen" (Sounds & Notifications), new email notifications sounds normally.
I don´t like seeying WM notifications pop´ups, but... it´s the only way new email are notified with sound.
I have a problem with my googlemail app.
I can recive Emails, handy even rings before my pc shows me that i have a new email.
but if i want to send an email, it gets stuck on sending email status for days and doesnt send the mail.
I reflashed a few roms the last days, but the problem stays.
any ideas?
edit: wrong section i guess this should be in app section sorry, someone can move it?
