Running 1.37.405 stock UK rom and can I get sms alert to work, can I *&$!..
I read that the 1.37 rom's were meant to have this fixed but no matter what I do all I get is the phone wake up and give me a green circle. It's set to vibe and sound alert for a new text message but to no avail
Is this just down to my rom currently or something else? Two hard reset's so far and it still fails to do anything, although 5 mins is good for the center button I not always going to see this..
I know this has been posted but like I said I thought 1.37 was fixed but quite clearly mine isn't - any ideas?

I had the same issue... I did a hard reset which fixed it - but then I realised what I'd done wrongis something very simple.
Go into the TouchFlo 'Settings' menu and then choose 'Sound'.
Click 'Advanced' and makesure there is a tick in the 'Programs' box and the 'Notifications (alarms, reminders)' box.
Also - do the reg edit in the Tweaks bit at the top of the page for Wake on SMS.
Hopefully that should fix it? Thats where I was going wrong - having never owned a WM phone before I didnt have a clue!!
Aye, Ive done all that.. afaik the advanced settings in touch take u straight into the main settings anyways where I had already set all the boxes to what they should be.
Just to be pedantic I changed the alert tone, turned off n on vibrate and still no bloody joy
Aside from this annoying bug I love the phone
i 'm also facing this issue out of nowhere suddenly after using the phone for 2 weeks!

Yes I have gone to Settings->Sounds & Notifications-> Notifications tab-> Messaging: New text message. After setting that to vibrate I have soft reset many times to no avail. Is there any kind of reg edit for this? I have searched for days on this topic and noone seems to have this problem. Is there any hope?
I just did a search and it appears there are many threads similar to this one. Try a search and see if any of the other threads have your answer.
Do you mind sharing a link? Because I'm having no luck.
i've not personally searched properly, but i'm guessing that Grizzley might recomend looking here
If you're problem isn't covered by a few google searches within XDA Devs, add a few more bits on info (rom, installed cabs, did it ever, when did it stop, etc etc etc)
If it did, and now doesn't, try soft resets - if no good try removing installed cabs (and change tone, why not! just use a default one for now)
If you still cant fix it, try a hard reset (see wiki for how) and remember to backup first. if you still dont get a vibrate.... maybe you have a hardware fault... does it vibrate on phone calls? have you installed a custom rom (ffs check the entire applicable thread if you have) if so, try a different one... or a stock one.
Searching is a good start - and saying you have is better still. But there really isn't enough info to help yet (yes, silly sh*t can mess it up, if my sd card gets removed & replaced my phone decides that my txts are now silent - with no ring or vibrate - even tho the audio file is on the device.... go figure!)
Ok I tried everything....even installed new apps to help with it....nothing. And yes it does vibrate on phone calls. So I decided to hard reset. NOTHING. Just calls. Gah, it worked for a little while when my phone was brand new, and I havent even flashed a new rom. ?????

Start -> Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> Sounds Tab -> Make sure the programs check box is checked and then check the notifications check box as well
I had the same problem too, until I looked through everything.
Hope this helps.
Do you have any programs such as phonealarm or spb phone suite installed? It could be as simple as changing the settings in one of them to vibrate for sms.

My Tilt has the same problem with emails. It will vibrate when getting a call, but not when receiving emails. I checked all the Notifications settings and made sure that Vibrate is checked but to no avail. Not having it vibrate for emails is a major bummer for me.
Hello, hopefully someone can help with this problem. I have a Tilt, stock rom, nothing cooked. I have the HTC home, advanced config, and kaisertweak programs. I've searched for hours but I can't find a fix. My Tilt makes no noise or vibration for an incoming text message. The pop up doesn't come up either. The only thing it does is light up the screen and the icon changes on the home screen. All settings are set to work, start>settings>Sounds...., and advanced config sms delivery notification>enabled. Again, I have searched for a couple of hours and can't find a solution. I tried several cabs, wm6 sms fix (or something like that) and also the reg fix threadingdisabled and nothing works. Does anyone have any suggestions. Thanks
What are you running in terms of ROM and radio? Could be a radio problem.
Everything is stock. I haven't changed any ROM or radios.
I've got the same problem as you. It's only ever with incoming texts, everything else works fine. Many a time I've thought that I'd figured out the source of the problem but it just keeps coming back.
i've also discovered today that with mms messages the alert works just fine, it's only sms causing a problem. i'm going to keep trying, if all else fails there is always a hard reset.
Looks like a hard reset has fixed it.
Sounds like you had the same problem as me, which is the SMSAvailable key in the registry was set to 0.. No idea why this should be if you havent done anything to your phone. If it happens again load up a reg editor and search for that key and make sure its set to 1
I recently had this problem and my key is set to 1. After like 5 or 6 messages the sound will just stop working for SMS. I'm on CUSTEL 2.1 and never had any issues. This just popped up the other day.
I have no software that manages ringtones or anything like that.
This is my first time using this site and it's great! I'm sorry for any stupid questions I ask that may have been answered somewhere else already. I have the ATT Tilt/HTC Kaiser 8925 and love it...recently the ringer randomly switches to vibrate. It does it sometimes when I'm using the calendar/appointments and sometimes when I haven't even touched it. I've seen tons of posts on HTC Home versions that affect it but I found (then lost) a thread that said something about about a Registry Edit you could to to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated or any other thoughts that may help fix this. I keep missing calls and it's driving me crazy!! Thanks so much!
i haven't searched yet, but mine will switch to any level, i keep it on vibrate while at work(Kohl's) and today it switched to loud while in my pocket and i didn't realize it till my VC started to read an extremely long text in front of my boss. fortunately he thought it was the coolest thing ever but he said it will never happen again or i'm fired(ass hole) but yeah i will post what i find when i search later

Thanks so much for your help! Yeah, this is driving me crazy..pretty much every time I'm using the calendar/appointment fucntion, it switches automoatically to vibrate from ring and vibrate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!!!
Are you using a stock ROM?
Unless people have had the exact same problem, it's going to be hard to help you without more info on what software is on your device.
If it does happen to be a random occurrence, a hard reset usually fixes it.
i have a similar problem with my tilt
i have noticed this hapening on my tilt which is running duttys latest rom. its only been happening in the last fed weeks.
ive also noticed that sometimes the phone will ring for a couple of seconds then go into vibrate mode as well.
i found my problem to be the settings in spb phone suite. if you have any profiles set etc if you change the system settings spb phone suite will automatically change them back after like 10-20 minutes. hope this is a help to some people. but i was about to go crazy till i sat and stared long and hard at my phone and realized what could also be the problem. i no longer have the issue!
i think this happens when your profile is set to automatic... it takes your status from your calender (if you have set it to busy in some meeting) it will switch to vibrate and if there is nothing for you in the calender it switches to the normal mode.....
I had the problem, then I flashed to L26 v6 and no more problems.

*Dumb question, but how and where do you SET your PROFILE? There's tons of options on the phone, but I don't know of anywhere to change something that says profile from automatic to something else? Any info. on that would be great and I'll try your solution. I'd rather not do a hard reset if I can help it. Thanks!
Having the same issue. Saw this post:

Not sure if it works yet, but good luck to others!

Looks like this might be due to HTC Home. It appears there is an update / fix:
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/ht...ugin-all-icons-coloured-clocks-1-package.html
Okay, I've searched and can't find this problem but hopefully somebody may have some ideas.
Quite frequently, I lose the top line of my display (the one with the start button and the system status icons). Everything else works but that line just disappears.
If I then lock the device it comes back. When I unlock it, it sometimes stays but sometimes disappears again once it's unlocked and I then have to turn my phone off and back on again.
I have a standard Orange UK phone, standard ROM and I've used some of the performance tweaks listed here. I've also disabled Touchflo and am using spb diary as my home page.
Anybody any ideas because this is driving me mad?
I had the same, but only when TF3D was deactivated. Since I use it again, it doesn't happen anymore...
It happens on my Orange diamond as well - stock 1.37 rom with TF3D enabled.
It seems to happen once every 4-5 days, and doesn't really have a pattern. Sometimes it's switching between Today and Second Today, sometimes it's rotating, sometimes it's unlocking etc..
flash a new ROM
Hello there.
Well i just recommend you to flash a new cooked ROM. I havent seen this behavior with a cooked ROM.
Best regards.
Well, at least it isn't just me but does anybody have any idea what causes the problem and how it can be solved.
Could it be something to do with glyph memory?
I used to see this sometimes on the orange rom. Since flashing a cooked rom makes the device twice as fast - and removes that problem - I would just flash it.

I know it's the wrong forum to say this but I'm just a bit scared to flash it because I've never done it before.
I'm worried about either a) bricking it or b) losing some setting that Orange put in to connect to their network (voice, data, voice mail etc).
Hi
I've had a similar Problem!
It seems to happen when I take the phone out of sleep cos I've got a text and its locked (I've set it for 30min).
I press the power button but the screen only half lights and the top line doesn't display. It sometimes says 'password' in the top left but does nothing if I press it.
I can slide along the bottom line but it doesn't work properly.
Interestingly I also have a Orange Diamond 1.37 ROM (which I've unlocked).
I'm gonna flash with HTC's ROM from there site and I'll let everyone know if the problem persists.
Wish me luck

And what happened?
Hi
Sorry for the delay. I tried the HTC site ROM but it just gave me a message saying 'Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device'.
So it looks like i'm stuck cos its still doing it about once a day just have to switch of and on again.

Okay. I still have the problem and am very, very tempted to try flashing a new ROM (and Radio). But I just can't quite work up the courage to do it since I've never done it before and it's the fear of the unknown.

This happens to me too. I have a T-Mobile Compact IV.
I've found that using FreeUP RAM (part of SKTools) not only releases memory, but also fixes this problem (until the next time it happens, which admittedly is not often).
Just wanted to say that I've upgraded my Orange ROM to the new 1.93 and I haven't had this problem....yet.
2 days without problems so I thought it may be safe to post.
IVe also had this on 1.37.x.x on my mda cmpct IV. Like everyone on here Im considering flashing but Im waiting for t-mobile to release an update (they keep telling me the will, presummably the 1.93.x.x) so that if I then brick the puppy - I can blame it on there rom upgrade.
I want this phone to be better, I know it can be with a ROM change...but I dont want to brick it and for once in my life will have some patience to wait.
I really love the phone except i`ve got the same problem as i did with the Diamond 1. When I receive a message the sound doesn`t go and it doesn`t vibrate but the green LED does flash. The second I turn on the screen using the standby-key it vibrates AND I can hear the ringtone. It drives me crazy. I didn`t have this problem the first couple of days I had the phone. I haven`t installed anything on the phone yet. Are there more people that have this problem?
Maybe it's a problem with other software? Does this happen directly after a hard reset? Mine plays a sound upon receiving a message...
have the same problem. but do not know if this started when i changed the melody for the message to one that is on the memory card.
have not tried hard reset yet to see f it helps
Do not store ringtones on the memory card, when the phone goes into standby it turns off the SD card interface to save power. The same goes for any programs that you want to keep running in the background when the phone goes into standby.
i face the same problem.... likely is the ROM problem..
not only that bluetooth also have some problem...
Are you using any call blocking / filtering software? Just a thought as I had the same issue after installing Magicall.
The device is as clean as a whistle
I haven`t installed any 3rd party software of any kind. I believe it is a flaw in the software. Perhaps this will be fixed a the next rom-update.
I also have this problem now. Yesterday I got an important SMS, but did know about it until 30 min later when I clicked the standby-key. The wierd thing is that this does not happen all the time. Usually I get notified within a few minutes of a new message. I do not have my sound files on the storage card. Any ideas how to solve this?
I get this problem too, and its rather annoying.. you could try setting the phone to wake on SMS, however, depending on your lock settings, it will probably wake up unlocked even if it was locked. I like my phone to be locked at all times unless I unlock manually or I get a call ONLY.
The reg key is
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\DisableSMSWakeUpEvent=0
Craig
Edit: if you go into Sound -> Notifications -> Messenging: New Text Message and ensure "Display Message On Screen" is unticked, it stays locked when a msg is received
i have this problem but with a hardreset solve my problem
Im having the same problem, ive got all the alert tones saved in the phone memory and have tried a hard reset too.
The reset improved things but still getting some messages being received without the alert sound being played, im assuming its a fault as several people are having the same trouble.
I got exactly the same
It seems that the problem only occures when you're not in the home screen. When i'm in the front (home) screen the sound works fine. But if i'm in the contact look (personalized look) its silent.
Can someone confirm this?
The same problem also with vibration....
It must be a softwareflaw, i can`t wait till HTC gives the first rom update...
Does somebody know how long it took before the first rom for the diamond 1 came available after its release?
I've only used Radio 3.44.25.27 from the new HTC Asia ROM for a day so I can't be sure, but the random problem of no audio/vibration alert that I used to face with Radio 3.43.25.19 seems to have gone away.
Having the same problem except mine plays the tone but doesnt vibrate!!!
Any news about this topic?
I had this problem also until I enabled SMS wakeup as per craiglay's post
These things should be fixed by HTC if u ask me. Workaround is great but I;ll wait till a hotfix is released
