Incoming text message produces no sound anymore

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!

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

Kaiser SMS notification broken

I have just been playing around with duttys latest ROM and KaiserTweak and Schaps Advanced Config. I have now noticed that when I recieve an SMS the icon in the top task bar doesnt appear and there is no vibration/orange flashing light.
I have checked in Sounds and Notifications under settings and for new text message everything is ticked. Is there anyway to check these settings in the registry?
At first I thought this was a problem with duttys ROM so flashed back to my Stock Vodafone UK ROM. I then recustomised it (disabled threaded SMS and simple stuff like that) and it has now happened again.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Any suggestions at all would be welcome.

what are you using to disable threaded sms?
uninstall your method and install this cab file.
many people are still using the method that disables notifications.

I went into the registry and set SMSAvailable to 0
I really hope this is the solution so I dont need to send my poor phone off to vodafone to be mutilated.
Will give this method a try in the morning

SMSAvaliable disables sms notifications
so restore that key to default and install my cab and it'll work
(or atleast it 99.9% should)

sorry to bump but did this method work for you?

No SMS/texe message Sound?

i struggled with this problem for days.
when you turn off threading, you will hear no sound, vibrating or other notification.
i found a way to use the function and also show sms in the "old" not threaded style.
now my phone rings and vibrates on new text messages. hallelujah!
i edited my registry with "Schapp's registry editor"
first i changed the "SMSAvailable" value to "1":
["HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
name="SMSAvailable" value="1" datatype="integer"
i don't know why but it is required for notification sound and vibrating again
now i wanted to have my messages in the "old", not threaded style.
for this i created an new key "/OEM" with following value:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM]
Name: SMSInboxThreadingDisabled
With: dword, 1
after editing my registry i did a soft-reset. not sure if necessary
yeah! now i have my text messages shown in "old style" and notification works fine.

You are the MAN!
Thanks usukk, it worked perfectly for me!!
cheers

This is a quite old thread, but I searched for it for weeks...
YOU are the one The one who made my SMS ring
Thanks a lot. One problem less on my To-Do-List.

helllllp plzzzz
oh , and sorry for my poor english help plz (

Try...
Apply the tweak.. and then restart your phone. (not hard reset just switch it off and then on again).
Might work, might not work.. but while you are waiting for others to come up with a solution, why not give the tweak another shot.
All the best

thanks for replay.
which tweak u mean?

Wake Up on New SMS --> HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent <-- set to "1" by default. Change value to "0"

Also when you disable threaded sms; notification breaks!
See thread: WM 6.1 how to disable threaded sms without disabling sms notifications?

Don't use the tweak put up in the thread you quoted. Set that value to the default value.
There is another way to disable threaded messages
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Setting s\OEM
Create Registry entry
SMSInboxThreadingDisabled
Set Value to 1
Restart the phone
This way.. the Wake on Sms Tweak does it's job
implying..
unthreaded texts.. and notification on Sms

i make the changes in registry and the threaded mode is disabled but still have the problem.
i wonder why my device has a such a problem ?!!

no one have new idea?

that's not fair heeeellppp plzzzz (

go to settings / sound and alerts and flag sound allert on "new sms". Worked for me.

thanks for replay but i try that before.
i don't know what should i do with this silly problem

i had the same problem but it was becouse of registry edit. I wanted to turn off threaded sms (chat) in registry and thats why i had no sound for new message. Maybe its also a solution for you.
P.S
mayby one of programs u have installed disabled chat function. check in registry this: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software/microsoft/inbox/
mark SETTINGS (but dont enter) and there you have value SMSAvailable. must be set 1. then restart
Good luck

Messages go with SYSTEM VOLUME, and no with RING VOLUME

I have the same problem before
Firstly, you can try the following registry to disable the threaded sms:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Setting s\OEM\SMSInboxThreadingDisabled
DWORD value set to 1
Then, set the following registry and restart your phone, now the sms alert/sound/vibrate are also existed.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Setting s]
"SMSAvailable"=dword:1

I fixed the SMS alert problem on my Touch Diamond
Hi,
I managed to fix it on my touch diamond
I installed SPB phone suite from here
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/phonesuite/ and did the soft reset when requested.
The problem disappeared after that.
I then un-installed it and the sms alert still works properly.
~ep~

SMS/Mail confirmation alert

Just got a new diamond here in Tokyo connected the Softbank network.
It seems whenever I send out an email via Outlook/SMS/S! Mail(Service that allows SMS-like mail to be sent to regular email accounts or other cellphone providers...most people use it here in Japan) I get a "Your mail has been successfully sent" email confirmation everytime I send out a mail. For someone who uses all three services frequently, it tends to get a little annoying
I've downloaded many tweaks and modification applications for the diamond but it seems I'm still not able to find the workaround...
Does anyone know the cure for this or is this a known problem?

This little quirk bothers me too because I want to hit send and then lock the device; unfortunately, when I hit send and lock the device I get a bunch of notifications and the device unlocks itself and random uttones get pressed as its in my pocket.
It may be best to load a WWE rom and sort out the smail using mmslite. Getting JP input working however is another issue.
For the problem with the notifications in softbank's arcsoft mail app, I wonder if there is a registry fix we can do.

solution for successful sent notification(at least for text)
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-diamondpro-tweak.html
Go to messages, and disable text messages notifications.

Kevbodian, mjz147,
Thanks, I really appriciate your quick response!!
I checked out that Diamond tweak app and its one hell of an applicaiton!
It seems though, when I disabled the text message notification and soft reset, im still getting those alerts after sending MMS/SMS emails.
Is there something wrong with my device or I may have to do some manual modifications via registry? :\

Tried to just disable em in Windows?
Start/Messaging/Menu/Tools/Options/SMS MMS
There you can disable notifications. Atleast for SMS messages for me it works.

I guess I have bad luck when it comes to disabling notification via Windows.
Unlike the US version, my phone doesnt have just one central location for mail but two (Outlook application - used for PC email & SoftBank Mail - used for SMS and MMS...)
So when I looked under the option menu in Outlook tools, I wasnt able to find any SMS/MMS options...
Im sure theres a registry hack that can be used...im not so sure why the diamond tweak app could apply changes to everything except the "turn off notifications" option though...

Was anyone able to solve this issue?

Did you guys try Advanced Config v3.3?
It has a section devoted to messages tweaks.
It does have a tweak that disables notifications.

I currently have 3.3 installed and have used it to disable/enable many features on my Diamond. But it seems after I disable the 'SMS delivery notification' and 'SMS sent notification" fields (and soft reboot), it is still showing the sent notifications after sms/s!mail is sent...
As Kevbodian was saying, maybe there is a special reg hack that needs to be done under softbank's arcsoft mail app.

could somebody figure out what change is made when that notification is turned off and turn this into a cab file? the only thing that bothers me is the sound. i dont mind the bubble or the little icon on the top telling me that my sms is sent. thanks

this one is simple and right to the point install it and it doesnt give you the message, you dont have tons of menus to navigate through just that install
also i am simply reposting this app i did not develop it or design it credit goes where credit is due

so this turns off the sound AND the notifications also? thanks

yep no sound and no pop up message after sending one
i hope it helps

almost tempted to figure out how cab files work (arent they just reg edits?) and maybe try to see if i can change it myself. i like having the notifications (bubble and little icon on the top) but the sound can be annoying at times,
Edit1: also i just installed advanced config 3.3 and the notification thing works for me.
Edit2: also search "kraiser tweak" and you will find it has settings for this. a lot of settings actually for just the thing you are talking about. now we just need to find the edits in the registry because i dont really like having 2 configuration programs on my phone. (advance config, and kraiser tweak)
Edit3: ok i found this on the wiki....Disable SMS Sent Notification
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings] Set SMSNoSentMsg to 1
.....so does this mean if it was changed to a 2,3,or 4 that would change the action of it? im really trying to look into this.....if you cant tell haha
