I gave my Kaiser to a friend. Total n00b. Great guy, but he's the kind who can't program a VCR.
Anyway, when he receives an SMS, he gets the little pop-up notification, but it will not play sound or vibrate. Changing the settings in Sounds and Notifications has no results.
In the 2 years I used Kaisers, this never happened. And I used the ROM he's using the longest.
Anyone have any idea of how to fix this without a hard reset?

Have you at least tried a soft reset ?

Of course. I also tried the tweaks from Advanced Config, disabled sound for SMS notify and rebooted, re-enabled sound and rebooted. No result.
more details needed...which radio ROM? which SPL?
Fail to see how that suddenly matters when I've used this ROM close to a year with multiple hard resets and never encountering this problem before.
Something in the registry or else where is mucked-up.
Just going to hard reset.

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:

......it happens when i receive a call.....the sound starts out low, then all of a sudden, it raises to full volume after a few seconds......it's not a MAJOR issue, but it's just annoying, i guess......i've soft reset a few times to no avail....has anyone else had this problem and know a solution?
noone? no suggestion?
I know this sounds stupid, but... have you checked the settings for your ringtone?
settings > sounds & notifications > notifications > ring type: increasing ring
Is it set to that? You never said if it was or not..
If so, change that to just "ring". Also, what radio are you using? And what rom, and spl?

yes its set to increasing ring, lol i shoulda mentioned that so people DON'T think im stupid with this question.....but no, it's different from that, and it's not set to increasing ring, it's set on Vibrate and Ring......it just starts out really low, then it almost sounds like it skips and all of a sudden gets louder....
and im using the Hyperdragon III Opal with whichever radio was meant for it (forgive me, im too lazy to soft reset to find out lol)....but this problem just began out of nowhere....i doubt that its a radio or rom issue because i never had that problem any time before now...
Hmmm...have you installed anything since the last time it worked normally?
Any kind of audio-related apps, or mods, or have you edited the registry?
Also, have you soft/hard reset it to try to resolve it?
And maybe try a new radio? I know that sometimes radios have issues... my phone was working normally one day, and the next it wouldn't ring whatsoever, and it was due to my radio. I upgraded to a newer radio and haven't had the problem since.
I just use the stock Kaiser radio, the newest one that's for wm6.1

i guess i may have to try this then, cuz it's kinda annoying, and lately it seems like its even lower to start, and i miss calls sometimes because of how low it starts, by the time its audible, the person's hung up already...
figured it out.....it wasn't the radio, it was Microsoft Voice Command....i didn't think of it when i was remembering everything i'd recently installed, because i had only upgraded it....but after uninstalling it, my phone rings perfectly again....
hello xda, ive posted a previous msg about this issue b4, along with others who have the same problem. ive done searches on here and have found that the issues have to do with some version of OPERA. my issue on the other hand is i dont use opera i use SKYFIRE. Does Skyfire use some sort of OPERA? ok now to my issue, (back when i first got my tilt, i had att oem rom 6.1) i now have duttys 6.1. after about a week after i first got the phone, ive been having problems with the phone notifying me of a new msg after about 5-6 sms. ive also noticed that when it fails to notify me, the alarm fails to sound as well. only after a soft reset does it fix its self, until another 5-6 msgs. ive also done the enable/disable threaded msg cab and it doesnt work, both cabs try to disable it. the programs that are installed are. A_C S2U2, bejeweled 2, boz quick menu, s2u2c, phm reg edit, skyfire browser, spb backup, and tilt keyboard fix for cooked roms. <-THESE ARE ONES IVE ADDED, if you need to know all thats one there that was cooked in, please pm me. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME. im gettin tired of this issue. att no longer carrys the phone for a insurance claim and im not sending it to HTC and being without a phone. im starting to think its more of a hardware issue than a software issue, if flashing it doesnt solve the problem. Thanx in advanced and sorry for such a long post. also b4 anyone says anything, everything is still checked to sound and vibrate under notifications and sounds.
John
One option you could try is to disable then re-enable the sounds.
Are you sure theat the phone is not temporarily muting the sounds. You could try manually switching the sound off on the volume icon next to the top right X and then re-enabling it.
Have you tried the hard reset?
That will determin if it's hardware or not.
to gilligan8
yes i have done the hard reset several times and it also does it with every rom i flash to the phone
to Elwyn M3100
thanks for the fast reply. no i havent switched the phone volumn to off and then back on. next time it messes up i will do that be i soft reset. if it is muting its self what could this mean the issue is?
But it doesn't do it till you flash it with a rom?
not a flashed rom issue
I have had this problem from about a week after getting my phone. I had this issue with the att oem 6.1 rom after I noticed the problem I contactecd att for a replacement, only to find that they have disscontinued it. id had to trade in the phone for something diff, cuz I love everything about this phone except my sms issuse. trust me I've searched and searched hard about how to fix this and have had quite a few good solutions, but nothin seems to work. I believe this is a hardware issue and not software. I just hope someone has the same issue that I do and nows how to fix it. thank you all for ur help
Being a computer guy this really doesn't sound like hardware... why would a hardware failure be so consistent? 5-6 times then soft start brings it back.
i do believe it is hardware related because i still have the problem even when i reflash to a new diff rom. after i receive anywhere from 5 to 6 msgs it then fails to sound on the following msg. the only way i can get it to resound is to perform a soft reset.
I had exactly the same problem and realised it was just the radio needed changing.
what radio are u running? i have 1.65.14.06 i also had this same issue with the stock att rom and radio
