I am notifications of my servers and switches sent to me via sms message. under sounds and notifications for a new text message i select the sound i want but the "repeat" box is greyed out. i would like to enable this since i may not hear the first sms alert (like when i am sleeping). under the event catagory of reminders i can select repeat but not under new text message. any ideas? is it a reg change i can make?
thanks!

I have the same request, looked around in the registry but can't find a setting for it. Can anyone suggest a solution?
I have the same role fella, the only way I found was through a piece of software called SPB Phone Suit, you can get it to repeat a sound every 5 mins, 10 mins whatever for missed/unread calls and SMS.

I have tried everything! Sounds & Notifications. Sound on, off, vibrate. When I receive a new text message my phone will not vibrate. It will vibrate for a phone call or any other notification, but not a text message.
Any help please?
Just to verify, you did go to Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications (tab at the bottom), select "Messaging: New text message" in the "Event:" drop-down list, and select the box that says "vibrate"? If yes, do you have any other sms software installed that may be overriding the WM vibrate instruction?
What program did you install?
Mine won't either, ever since I installed the threaded messaging (palm) app. I dunno how to get it to notify me that I have a new text message, either.
Does it vibrate when you click on the inbox?

Did you go into notifications and choose specifically the incoming message that says Palm in it??

did you by any chance disabled the threaded sms?...if yes then use the latest kaiser tweaks xml file and change it again...you will get back your vibration and sound
hello,
i have exactlythe same problem, it wont vibrate when i receive a text message, but it vibrates when i get a call or whatever. if i set the notification on a sound it will play that sound whenever i get a message.
i got the newest rom version and i have kaiser tweak installed.
I hope somebody can help me.
All,
I have searched up and down using google and this forum, and all I have found is people with similar problems but no answers to these questions below:
1. Ring tones for contacts saved to the phone are easy, as is setting a single .mp3 to play for SMS messages, but all I really want is my default ring tones for contacts to play when they send me SMS messages. I know Ringo does this, but it crops my ring tones down. I don't want this. I want the full 3-8 minute song to play for a given contact whenever they send me an SMS message.
2. Why won't my current SMS ring tone stop playing on opening of a notification? No matter what it is, a stock 10 second clip or a 8 minute .mp3, it plays completely whether I have opened the phone or not. The equivalent of this would be you getting a call, answering the call, and as you are talking, your main ring tone is still playing. I don't know if this has to do with windows media player, which I have replaced with the audio manager, which is much better, but it is a huge hassle for the sms message ringer not stop once you've opened and are replying to an sms notification. I don't want to have to have my text messages just vibrate or have no sound at all. I want the whole .mp3 to play the ring tone for the specific contact unless I read or dismiss the notification.
I have looked into Ringo, Phonealarm, and Mobiedit, and none does want I want. Ringo crops my SMS alerts, but plays full .mp3s for incoming calls...It should be the other way around. Mobiedit wouldn't recognize any of my .mp3s. Phonealarm has a lot of nice features, but what I want is very specific.
Any registry hacks for this? Any cabs for this?
I want to thank you in advance for your answers and for all the wonderful information, tips & tricks, and downloads you offer.
Thank you,
Brian

Can anyone point me in the direction of another resource then?
PhoneAlarm WILL do this. You just have to set it up.
Really? Then I couldn't figure this out. Is there a difference between the trial version and the full version?
Thank you for your help and I will report back to see if I can get it to work.
phonealarm does indeed allow you to shut off the notification once you either dismiss or reply to it. I don't know if it is worth 30 bucks. Is there a way to get an 'answer on open' like function for sms?
It does not however, allow me to use my contacts ringers for their incoming text messages. Is there a registry tweak out there I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Has anyone found a way to get the incoming text message sound to repeat until you look at the message? (or at least longer than just once?)
I tweaked the notifications registry settings to allow all options, and then I even forced the repeat to be on by copying the value from the Reminders notification. It kinda worked in that it repeated the sound and at a good interval even, but it never stopped repeating. I had to do a soft reset to get it to stop.
Hey, Thought to be better to search and post in an old topic rrather than open a new one
I miss quite a lot of messages because I leave my phone in the kitchen and cant really hear a short 5-10 second tone, and a longer one is just annoying if my phone is close and I read the message and reply before the tone stops, and then by the time it finally stops i recieve another message
Is there anyway to have the new text message tone repeat, until read??
I tweaked the registry to enable repeat but it goes into an infinite loop of repeating every 10-15 seconds. Until I soft Reset
Are there any 3rd party options that dont change the way it rings etc, just enables repeating until I read the message??
So i just got my Diamond 2, and it's great and all.
One annoying thing though, is that when i receive a SMS/text when the phone is 'sleeping',
the phone does not notify me by sound/vibration/LED blinking.
Often i have to wake the phone up manually, and first THEN the phone notifies me by sound/ring.
changing the SMSWakeUp setting in the registry helps,
but then it's wakes up unlocked (with CSDEVCTRL installed, other apps don't lock perfectly), which is a big annoyance.
Has anyone else experienced this problem, and maybe have a solution?
Regards.
Goto "Settings --- Sound ----- Advanced ----- Notifications ----- Event ---- New Text Message" and disable "Play Sound".... then "ok" for exit.. Then repeat this for enable sound for "New Text Message" and change default message tone..
This works for me.. Never missed message after this "weird" settings..
Doesn't work, thanks for the advice though
For the "New Text Message" event, just untick "Display Message" and it will wake up locked, play sounds, and flash the LED
This has been mentioned on other threads, quite a few people including myself are having the same problem and it doesnt appear to be a settings issue.
On about 50% of received messages all i get is the green light flashing, when the phone is woken the text alert sounds.
This used to happen on every message, a hard reset improved things but its still not perfect. I send and receive a lot of SMS messages and its really annoying not to be notified when i get replies.
Maybe this will be addressed in a firmware update.
Sorry, forgot to mention that I have also changed the SMSWakeUp registry key. I've had no problems in about 2 weeks with SMS since

Thanks, gonna read that.
I've enabled SMSwakeup and installed Pocketshield (slidelock only) as a temporary solution.
I have a constant on SMS "bubble" on the Home screen SMS Icon showing 1 SMS when there isnt one, the slider has no issues and works as advertised. Any Ideas on how to get that to go away. Thanks.

Soft reset.
how do u guys turn off the sound when sending sms? whenever after my sms is sent, there will be a pop out window stating 'sms sent' and there will be a sound. how do i switch off tt function?
Search!
There are loads of references to disabling the SMS Sent notification on the forum - you can do it in registry or by using something like TD2 Tools.
Personally, I'm trying to get the notification BACK, as occasionally I miss the fact that an SMS hasn't gone!
Cant find any help
I was searching the whole forum for a while and I could not find anything on how to remove the sound when an SMS is sent, I reset my phone and I remember getting the sound to go away just by doing something on the phone and not downloading anything but I cant remember how I did it
Can anyone help by telling me step by step instructions on how to get rid of the sms sent sound notification (Alarm2)
