Just recently my M500 seems to forget to let me know that Ive got a txt message, it seems to be losing the seetings for some notifcations. Txt messages and the alarm sound seem to be only ones affected. I can put the settings back and they work for a little while but then disappear.
Its only been doing it recently and I dont think its a result of installing anything. Any ideas? Its really annoying me.
I posted this in the other sub thread but got no response so I thought I'd try here. I recently installed the palm threaded sms app. I love using this for text msging except for the fact that I get no sound or vibration when I recieve a new txt. I have checked the settings in the sound notifications and everything there has sound applied to it. Any help would be great. I want to continue using this program but won't be able to if I can't tell when I get a sms msg.
you should have a separate entry in the notifications list showing Text Message (Palm) or similar. You need to set this to the sound/vibrate you want. The only problem I've found is that none of the usual profile managers that allow you to switch between quiet/loud/normal/vibrate and such will change this notification as they are all hard-wired for the standard notification name only.
There is one for text msgs but no matter what I put there it doesn't give any kind of notification.
Edit: Found the one you were talking about I guess I just overlooked it testing it out now.

i read sumwhere 2day dat mring has the ability to "silence" the incoming ringing sms tone, if sum1 choses 2 do so, however, its a paid app w/ trial.....
I've unfortuanatly never seen a fix to this, happened to me when I set a full MP3 as a message tone on my Diamond, I just use th default alerts or MP3 Trimmer.

its the way windows mobile operate, its not device specific, a workable solution is to make a ringtone 5-10sec something short just go give you an idea of the song..thats what i use to do but im tired of the whole music for sms(on any phone), plus it annoys everyone around me so i just stick to the generic alerts
I'm not an HD2 user, but this caught my interest, the HD2 has the ability to set a call ringtone and a sms ringtone seperate for a contact? Would anyone know if this is an HTC setting or a something? I'd love to be able to do this with my TP2 without using a 3rd party app if at all possible.
are there any tweaks to this problem?
angeldeath, i am sorry i cannot help u on your question. maybe u can ask in other threads.
I will check this out on my phone right now..
My brother just called me and said that he added a whole song as his sms ringer and now his HD2 TMOUS freezes half way thru the song.. He has to soft reset after that..
My GF says that if she gets one sms song starts playing, then gets another sms 4 secs later, same song starts playing but initial sms song doesnt stop so they overlap.. Once she actually open the sms is when they stop..
There should be an option where u can just hit any button to stop the sms ringer as you can silence an incoming call.
Ok so here is what happened.. I added a super long mp3 song as my sms ringer.. send me a txt.. phone started ringing sound doesnt go off unless i actually open up the message. i left it ringing.. phone went to sleep more and ringer still ringing, then once ringer was over, phone didnt wake up anymore..
had to soft reset..
Another observation was that if you fo to Setting> All Setting> Sound & Notifications.. Notifications tab, Select Incoming Message, and select Display Message on Screen.. Then the ringtone will only sound for 3-5 secons...

My problem is that SMS does not ring. I have set a tone and it will never give me the alert.
Any help on this?

Come on guys!!
Take a break!!
If u really need this particular song for a sms, just trim the hell out of it making it less than 10 secs max!! U could do that by any prog on the PC (i use acoustica mp3 audio mixer) or simply by using mp3 trimmer on the phone directly which i also use!!!
For ppl who will be asking about where to place the ringtone for sms to work, just place it in the root directory of "my documents"!!
I've trimmed my mp3 to a few seconds.
Sometimes it works and sometimes it does'nt.
Most of the time it hangs on sms.
My supplier changed my ROM to Energy ROM. The ring tone will stop when I access to my sms but still it's not functioning properly. It still hang now and then.
I then us the standard avaliable ring tone. I found out that if the ring tone (even with the standard avaliable) is too long, the sms will still hang.
I now use a short standard ring tone, with vibrating on and it looks like it's working, but I'm not 100% sure if the sms will hang again!
But I still have a problem with charging. I hangs sometimes.
Pls help.
hey guys,
my girlfriend has a slide and she changed her messaging ringtone. but now, whenever she receives a text message it makes the sound she changed it to, then a second notification sound goes off after it.
It might be asking the obvious, but has your gf installed any other app (handcent, chompsms, smspopup, etc.) that might give a secondary notification?
My DZ running 1.72, as the title says doesn't give an audio notification for new emails, I have tried POP and currently using IMAP, if that make any difference. All other notifications work fine, I have tried using my own files using created MP3 Ringtone and those supplied with the phone but still silence It shows in the notification bar, I don't know what else to do, any ideas?

is your volume on? that'd be funny if that was the issue. Do you have sound when you receive sms?
Yes volume is on, all other notifications and incomings calls are fine, it is just the email notification that doesn't make any sound.
Finally sorted out, what a noob mistake.While looking for some other settings, I found the setting to enable audio notification within the email software, being the first time I had set up email on my phone I had assumed that it would by default like sms!
