I have searched for about an hour on the forums but didn't find an answer to this...please forgive me if this has been answered already:
I'm experiencing a strange issue where if there are NO new messages, then I can use the default messaging plug-in on the today screen to go into Outlook email without problem. However, as soon as I get new emails and the Messaging plug-in changes from "no unread messages" to "Outlook email: x Unread" then I cannot click on the messaging plug-in to go into messagning anymore. When I click on it, nothing happens.
I have to go to Start menu and select messaging from there instead.
As soon as I read all the new messages, then the today screen plug-in will start working again.
This is a new AT&T Tilt I just received. This problem occurs with both Stock AT&T ROM and Dutty's ROM that just released yesterday.
I have tried deleting the inbox.msxxxxxxxx folder in my storage card, but that didn't seem to help.
Any suggestions or ideas? TIA!
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!

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!
Does anyone have a solution to the threaded messaging problem when trying to read mms messages with pictures.
In general I cant make threaded messaging to work. I had to disable it to be able to recieve pictures in mms at all. When it on all it does is to screw the mms up, it doesnt make the sms or mms threaded at all. What can be wrong?
Can I do anything else to configure it more then disable or enable it? I want threaded messaging to work and my mms messages to work. Does anyone else got this problem on their diamond? A friend has a HTC Touch and a TyTnII and it works perfectly on that one.
hi
I have the same problem but I don't know, if it has something to do with installed programm SmileySMS v1.68.
My temporary solution: If I receive a mms (not very often) I disable threaded sms, so I can see the picture in mms.
I have had this problem since the first day when no app were installed exept the ones preinstalled. I have no solution but am still looking for one.
Anyone that have one?
can't help i'm afraid, it seems to work for me.
The MMS arrives, and it shows in a thread.
I press the up arrow to highlight the message and then press the centre button.
that seems to open them for me. It doesn;t show the picture in the thread, but maybe that's something for the guys here to figure out??
i have a htc diamond with nam 3g. i know that a few people have the same problem with me which is "display message on screen" for notification for reminder keeps unchecking itself randomly. i have not found a solution for this.
also for some reason when i receive a text message, i only get sound and vibration and light but the device doesn't wake up. even when i wake it up it doesn't show me the message unless i actually go to the text message menu. i also did enable "show message on screen" in notification for receiving new text message. is this happening for everyone who uses official HTC rom? i am using the 2.03.405.3 wwe rom. would reflashing the rom or hard reset fix these problems?
Wake Up on New SMS --> Using any registry editor go to HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL and change DisableSMSWakeUpEvent from "1" to "0".
I suggest you read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398265
thanks i got that fixed now but what about my other problem? for some reason some of the notifications options are being unchecked randomly. for example the "show message on screen" when it is reminding mee of a an appointment sometimes while get unticked randomly by itself. anyone else having this problem? would i hard reset fix it?
also i have just done a hard reset on the diamond to see if it will fix my reminder notification problem and i find out that the device doesn't wake up when a text message is received. is this normal for all touch diamonds before any mods? why would htc not make wake the device up when a message is received?
bump... how can i be the one of the few people having the "display message on screen problem"? i notice that this box gets unchecked everytime i use opera and i have to manually check the box again!!
Same problem to me.
I see no relation to Opera, but my display message on screen box gets unticked randomly.
For a moment I had the idea that Opera was causing it, but now I cannot force it to happen by starting/stopping Opera.
Very ennoying.
Another problem I have is that some sounds I used for years and years do not seem to work any more in the latest HTC ROM.
I have a Touchpro btw....
Huib
I have the same problem. My "Settings-> Sounds & Notifications-> Notifications -> Reminders -> Display message on screen" box becomes unchecked randomly. I have not noticed a cause-and-effect relationship yet.
Also, when I dismiss the Sounds & Notifications control panel, I frequently get a "We're Sorry... A problem has occurred with shell32.exe". I wonder if these two problems are related.
Any suggestions?

Sprint Official ROM 2.00.651.7 3/12/09
any solutions to the msg display prob??
reflash with stock ROM from HTC. It should fix your prob.
I too am having this problem, and have not found a cause. It seems that it usually us unchecked after a soft reset, but not always.
Have yet to find a fix for this; anybody have any ideas (other than the guy who suggested flashing back to a stock ROM; idiotic suggestion; for anyone who is browsing XDA, and has a cooked ROM installed, I guarantee a stock ROM would NOT be an option)?
"Display message on screen" unchecks itself
yep, I too have the same really annoying problem and can't find a fix anywhere. I thought it maybe the Duttys ROM I am using but hadn't heard the Opera causing theory before. Any other suggestions anyone?
I'm having the same problem with the "Display message on screen" option where it unchecks on its own. Has anyone found any solution yet?
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.
