New e-mail message notification sound not working... - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

I know this issue may be rather minor, but it bugs me. Apparently, even if I set the Notification: Messaging: New e-mail message sound
it does not play when new mail arrives in my added accounts (regardless if pop, smtp, etc).
I was told by a Seven tech support rep. (the makers of Xpress Mail, on Cingular Siemens SX66) that it was a known bug, and that a trouble ticket was opened with MS.
1) does anyone have any workaround (like external s/w which would do this)?
2) I know the new mobile o/s is not on BlueAngels, but does anyone know if this is fixed with the new o/s?
3) Sometimes, when the moon is just right, and the messaging software is running in the background, with the machine powered off, when new mail arrives it will work. any clues why?
thanks

Yes, its really annoying, but I found the solution in installing 2 brilliant apps from PocketMax (www.pocketmax.net) Phone Alarm and AlarmToday
PhoneAlarm give you great contol over the audible and visula alerts missing in WM2003. (Use the "Joel Blue skin" when you install)
alarmToday includes as an option a fix to the WM 2003 wake up problem. The fix will make sure that the device wakes up when a new mesage come in, even when powered off. make sure you chech this feature when you install the app. It works great with the push e-mail client I use (www.alwaysonmail.com)
Try them all out for free. I think they will solve your problems!
Hope this helps

Problem with Reminders

Since my last restore I have problems with reminders...
NO sound, notification, pop-up or ANYTHING!!!
With the built-in calendar and other applications!!
Is there something with the registry?
:evil:
I have the same issue. I find that I have to sync with Activesync about once a week to get it to work with reminders again. No other remedy, including the one where utilities claim to clean the reminder queue due to an old winmobile bug, work. Also, this phone has this problem the worst in my experience - my ipaq 910c would exhibit this problem maybe once a year.

Windows Live notifications in WMXL .20

I have posted this a few times in the "issues" and "chatter" and one or two other people are having this problem. I have switched my exchange push email from mail2web (at least until they upgrade to Exchange 2007) to Windows live (hotmail) so that I can get pushed HTML. It is, for the most part, working very well in Kyphur's Rom, but there is one relatively major problem. I have indicated in sounds and notifications that I wish to receive sound and on screen notifications of all e-mail that arrives. Windows Live does not seem to be working properly in that you occasionally (1 out of 7-8 emails) receive a sound and on screen notification of email. I am guessing there is some kind of registry entry that could fix this. Any ideas or solutions would be welcome. I have placed Windows Live on the today screen, so I do get some indication of new mail, but no sound or pop up, so the screen must be turned on and you must be looking at it to see that there is new mail. Thanks in advance for any ideas or thoughts.
I find that Phonealarm works for me, always notifies of new 'pushed' hotmail.
I also get this problem, is there any suggestions?
It could be the problem of ROM you are using. I am using Faria's ROM and I checked Windows Live after getting to know about it from your thread. Its working fine but I think there are some time intervals even if you select for as it arrives option for SYNC of Windows Live. Thanks for the information, i was trying with mail2web but got the alternate. Do check with the ROM cooker.
Edited
Ok I got the main reason. If you are using any Live version and signed in through your Personal Computer not the windows mobile device then you will not get the Push Email as it assumes you are available somewhere to check the email. Do check about it and I am sure you will get the notification and sound if you are not signed in anywhere in world on Live messenger. You will be having this push email thing.

WM6 Live (Email SYNC Settings Fix - not saving)?

I finally had an evening with WM6 LIVE and AS RECIEVED/ALWAYS on for emails and man is this QUICKKKKKKKK --- in terms of PUSH email its almost freakish fast.
I was sending emails from other accounts, specifically Yahoo and work accounts and BOOOOOOOOM it hit my 8525 almost instant...
Then - not sure if it was the reboot, or what, but I can no longer get those "as recieved" settings or anything other than MANUAL to stick for Email-SYNC.
Is there a new version or fix to make this work guys. Part of me makes me think this "could" be a server forcing those settings back to me but wanted to check.
I could not have been more impressed - it was lightning fast and I was feeling in love with hotmail again and thinking about forwarding to hotmail for that Push.
Advice? - thanks for anything ---- maybe there is a new version I just can not seem to find one.
Thanks all
Remove the settings from activesync (on your device). Now re-enter them and warm-boot the device:
to warm booth the device:
Press and hold the power button until the confirm box appears
Select Yes, the device will power down
power on the device as normal
Only thing i can think of is a soft reset was carried out before the settings took.
THANKS!!!
Man SO MUCH thanks for the quick response - I am trying RIGHT NOW!!!!
A million thanks - I am assuming they stick for you then correct?
Thanks!!!!!!!!!

My settings just work as normal, when there is a change on either the server or my device they synchronise.
OK - Let me be more clear ok.
This is WINDOWS MOBILE LIVE - then the settings associated with LIVE. Here is where you set how LIVE aka Hotmail will be delivered, which is essentially HOTMAIL-PUSH... Which is freakin awesome......... However, the settings (and I saw this posted once before) they wont stick. It now defaults back to MANUAL only and not AS RECIEVED.
So the steps are -
1 - LIVE is installed
2 - Synch performs first time
3 - Then in PROGRAMS you adjust the live settings, one is SYNC and this is the issue.
I checked for a Registry setting on the device but could not find any to hard-set them there.
Just fyi

Wndows LIVE Sync Schedule
The Setting is:
Option #3 - Sync Schedule
Option is - Sync Frequency (AS ITEMS ARRIVE)
This is the one that allows Push to be received on the 8525 and won't stick. BUT - it did last not and not sure if it is being Server governed. When this was in place I've seen PUSH perhaps better than I have with a BlackBerry. AMAZING.
But now it just resets to MANUAL once you save it with DONE.
Any help on this one folks is much appreciated.
Same Problem - No settings stick
I am having the same problems with my Windows Live settings. Just went to play around with the Sync Schedule settings and it looks like NONE of the settings stick, not just the delivery frequency. I didn't even have to soft reset for the settings to undo. So this is definitely an issue.
I have Live set to sync emails, but NOT messenger and contacts.
I noticed this happening last week with LSVW and still doing it today with Black VI.

I don't think it is really not sticking...it just shows as not sticking. I have noticed this back in wmxl 0.10 and even posted about it. Mine does not seem to stick either, but my hotmail stays constantly connected and shows up as pushed mail, even without settings sticking. the question I am dying to get answered? Are either of you able to get sound and onscreen notifications from windows live mail?
OK - I agree with you as well and noticed this after I posted. Oddly for some reason I was not getting some emails, dug, and saw nothing sticking but dont think that was the issue. I do as well see CONNECTED which makes me feel good.
Next - NO!!! I have tried like heck to see which alert ties to this but am not able at all as you mention to tie an alert/notification to the incoming LIVE emails.
Boy is this nice --- but a few items need worked out. I also wish somehow without servers that support Direct Push, I am in a major BlackBerry shop that I could get ActiveSync as middleware for PUSH. They removed the net option and I have tried every push option with not as much luck. I want ActiveSync with NET and PUSH/NetSync ....

Believe me I think I have looked at every possible registry entry and cannot figure out which one would fix this.
Anybody have the phone not waking up every once in a while after installing mobile live? It clearly what causes the problem because I used wm6 black 1.2 for a week and no problem then I installed live and my phone started hanging. Is there a solution for that problem?

Live messenger contact login sounds?

Long time daily viewer first time poster!
Question is; The new live messenger does not seem to have any sounds for contacts logging in, now i remember on my t-mobile wizard there was a registry hack which i think was a cab file that added the option in sound settings to change the login and type sounds pocket msn wm5....
However now using a Hermes running wm6 im wondering if the same thing maybe applicable using live messenger, is this not possible with the way the new messenger works. It would be nice to know when a new contact comes online, if your waiting for someone..
Not much about this anywhere but not much demand i guess? seems strange though to remove it.
I have not found the cab file i originally used to see if any registry keys may setup sounds but i guess live messenger is very different to pocket msn.
reg hack attached
wlm doesn't look or use this anymore
appears in sounds n notifications, but doesn't get activated or used.
yes I wud like the feature also.
I previously posted but got zero response...

Today-screen says Emails: (0) although there are new messages (IMAP)

Hi guys,
I have a HTC Excalibur sporting WM6. I am using the default messaging app with an IMAP account. My problem is, that whenever I recieve a message, the message count on the today-screen says "SMS: (0), Emails: (0), MMS: (0)".
Does anyone know how to solve this? When using a POP3 account the same happened.
Thanks for your help!
Notification: 0 emails
I have the same problem. Did you ever find a solution? It worked fine when I was on the T-Moblie ROM but now that I've flashed to the HTC 1.33 ROM it just says "Emails: (0)" on the today plugin even though there are new emails in pop3 or imap (non-outlook accounts). Does anyone know if there is a registry key that handles which account flags the notification? Thanks.
This happen to me too....
Go to Settings>Sounds> and change your new email sound. Mine was set at none.
It worked for me.
My Excalibur can count now!
Thanks for the reply although I don't see how a sound will fix the visual indicator on the home screen. I didn't try it myself since I've already found another workaround that I'm very happy with.
Good news: my Excalibur can count now!
After doing a little more research I found out that this is a bug in the HTC today plugin. Upon changing the homescreen layout file from HCT 1.11 to something else it will be corrected. I even attempted at writing my own xml file for the today screen and it worked just fine.
Bottom line is that there are many better looking and functioning home screens out there just use one of them instead of the built in HTC plugin...or just write your own. I'm using "Twilite" and absolutely loving it.
Kudos to everyone out there for contributing to the community and helping to make our phones much better devices. Thank you!
