[Q] Text Message sound problem on 2.2 - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I upgraded to 2.2 OTA yesterday. Everything has worked great except that out of all issues, the notification sound for my text message became a very low key pop sound. I attempted to change it various times and tried resetting my phone a couple of times to see if that changed anything and nothing.
The funny part is I can still change the sound notifications for my twitter, so it is specifically the text messaging that is causing a problem. I have never rooted and didn't flash that early froyo, just the legit one yesterday.
Can anyone help me?

Can someone please help! this is driving crazy

Problem With 2 Bottons

plz help me
after i was upgrade every time im sending sms or just go inside inbox or outbox the send botton or the end botton dont work
why can any body help me?
It might help if you posted on the thread that's associated with whatever upgrade you installed. Or better yet, READ the thread FIRST to see if anyone is having a similar problem, and if not, THEN post.
Creating a NEW thread for something like this is NOT the thing to do.

Axel WM6 ROM and Orange UK

hi all
I recenly flashed using Axel's latest (and great) WM6 ROM.
Since then, I've started getting very starnge looking text messages, completely blank, and sent from nonsense 'numbers' written as pairs of symbols, such as:
[email protected]
&@
^@
I spoke to Orange, and it was asked whter I'd modded or used 3rd party software, to which I obviously answered yes, and it was explained to me that this was Orange's network 'spooling messages' to my phone, which now could not undertand.or handle them correctly.
I now get these strange texts instead of answerphone notifications, and missed call notifications. Orange obviously will not support this.
Is there any way to correct this behaviour?
Why dont you try searching?
I actually answered this same question about a week ago but to get you started, click HERE
can someone post the correct cab for Axel's ROM for Orange as the one I see on the forums before did not work for me.
Apologies. I use many forums, and always try searching before posting new questions, or adding to an existing thread. no idea why i didn't think to this time

TP2 SMS Messaging Problem ANNOYING

Hey guys,
I've been using this forum for quite a while, and have always been able to find answers for my questions here (which is why I have never posted), until now.
I have a Touch Pro 2 that is T-Mobile branded, but unlocked, and being used on AT&T. I have the phone exactly the way I want it, but I am having a very annoying SMS problem.
When I receive a new message, I open it up and reply, but the original message is never marked as read. A whole conversation can take place, and when I close it, it will say I have a ton of unread messages, even though they were all read. The only way to mark them as read is to either select each individual message with the keyboard, or delete the whole conversation.
Is there any way to fix this so they are automatically marked as read like my Kaiser did? The Kaiser always marked them as read when I closed the conversation or replied. The TP2 won't...
This is very annoying. PLEASE HELP!
Try the file attached, the was a problem that stemmed from the fuze. Good luck

Thank you for our reply. I tried as you said, but unfortunately it didn't work... I have searched this, and other forums, and have found people with the same problem, but no solution anywhere as far as I can tell.
Any other ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Same problem here, has the app fixed this for anyone?

Try a soft reset. I do know in the fuze this was a problem, I havent had this issue with my TP2 (aka Tilt from ATT running the EU stock rom). But normally if you hit menu then reply, it should automatically check it as read, now sometimes thru the WinMO sms app when your in the conversation has a tendency of kepping the persons sms in bold and when you exit it wont detect it as read, the only solution I found which became a habit was to tap the bold convo which then made it read.
But that cab I attached try a soft reset, it did cure alot of my problems of unread msgs building up.

Message problems

Hi everyone,
I am not good in english but i will try my best to explain the problem i have
The fact is that last month i did the 4.1.2 maj on my note 2 but after doing it, a reccurent problem appear. Sometime, while i am sending a message, the message didn't send and when i try to return to the conversation list, it is empty with only a picture of a letter, telling me that i have no message, and choose "+" to create new one...
This problem often happened and the only choice i had was to reboot the smartphone...
After a time, i try to return on 4.1.1, makes a reset factory and all.
The problem seems to be resolved but this morning it happen again...
I don't use Handcent of Chomp, or GOsms.
But i tried and when the problem happen, Handcent sms can't send any messages too. ...
I am desesperate... how could this happen for a thing that cost 600€ and for the most simple thing that sending message... ?
Thank you for the help

OP,
Unfortunately as this is not a Sprint model it would be difficult to help.
I will ask the mods to help get this to the right section.

I have the same problem and I dont know how to fix it.
I am glad that i am not the only having this problem
I asked on another forum and they told me if I did't activate the mode which delete message when you reach the limit.
So I desactivated it and the problem seem to be resolve.
But after 1 month the issue appared again even if i made a full wipe and installed the rom Omega.
I have the same problem on both stock and omega.
Only fix I have at the moment is rebooting

It be possible that there is no solution...
Did you activate the message auto deleting?
Are you people rooted ?
If yes then make sure that in suspersu settings trust system apps is checked. It looks like messaging app sometimes use su. Strange.
It popped up once in my suspersu logs.

I go activate it !
Hope this will stop the problem ! I will tell you later !
It seems that even by checking trust system app, the problem isn't resolve ...

Help! I'm not receiving email alerts for all the threads on xda I'm subscribed to

Hello,
I'm experiencing a strange kind of technical problem with the xda forum: I'm not regularly receiving the email alerts for all the threads I'm subscribed to (I'm actually subscribed to 164 different threads). This happens since my registration to the forum in 2014.
I strangely receive only some notifications and quite rarely, and they are about only some of the threads I'm subscribed to, this despite the fact that most of these 164 threads subscriptions are set to "Daily" notifications on my settings.
Those notifications seems to be sent to me randomly (I'm suscribed to those threads in the same way that I'm subscribed to the other ones, and I never actively posted on most of those threads).
I've double checked the settings on my user panel, and my e-mail spam filter is totally ok.
Is there by chance a maximum number of email alerts from subscribed threads that an user can receive?
Do you guys have an idea about why this could happen?
Do you think that it would be possible to contact someone of the forum staff in order to ask for technical help?
Thank you in advance!
W.
I've made a change to your account. See if you get any notification emails now?
Thank you for your reply, the_scotsman. Unfortunately nothing changed and auctually I didn't even receice a notification for your answer to this post as well (I've just discovered it by visiting the post manually).
I did a quick search and it appears that other users did experience the same problemin the past/are experiencing it.
Do you have an idea about how we could try to fix this problem? It would be very helpful for me.
Thank you very much again,
W.

Hmmm....that's strange.
I wonder if @MikeChannon has any ideas as to what the problem might be?
I can't see anything wrong with your user account settings. Let's see if he has any suggestions.
This time I just did regularly receive the email notifications about both your reply and the quote, but the system for example completely missed your first reply on the 24th of August, and, as an example, the same did happen with my followed threads that I'm subscribed to (with daily notifications): during the last week I did receive only 2 email notifications instead of 11. These 2 notifications are about threads that the system seems to always notify me about, while I never received any email notification about the other 9 threads that the system skipped this week.
That's indeed very strange. I'm sure that my e-mail box is totally fine, I'm actively participating to many other forums without problems. My spam folder looks also clean.
Any help would be really very appreciated. Thanks again!

Our notifications are sent out via a gmail account and a few days ago we noticed google was rate limiting us. In theory that should only mean a delay but it seems emails don't actually get through at all in some cases. It MAY be related to this.
Please report back if this continues.
Mike
Thank you for your reply Mike.
The thing is that I'm experiencing this problem since the beginning, right after my registration to the forum back in 2014.
At the moment I'm subscribed with daily notification to 169 threads but I'm receiving the email notification for only a few of them (and it has always happened like that). When I connect to my user control panel I can clearly go throught my subscribed threads and spot many threads that have been recently updated without any notification on my email box (actually the main part of them).
I'm pretty sure that my email account is fine but I can't really imagine what could be the problem.
I'm open to any kind suggestion. Being able to fix this problem would really help me.
Thanks again.

I'm sorry to come back writing and (bothering you guys) here, but it looks like that I really can't resolve this issue myself.
Recently I even switched the email account linked to my xda profile to another address hosted by another provider (Hotmail) but nothing has changed: I still don't receive the large part of the email alerts from the threads I'm following.
Since having switched to another e-mail address should have eliminated the possibility of blocks or filters on my (e-mail side) frankly I really don't know what to do now.
Being able to receive updates from the threads I'm following would be incredibly helpful and would surely help me to engage more with the community.
I know that, since this is a free forum (but I would even pay a subscription if it could help with this issue!), I can't demand a prompt resolution to this technical issue. But I'm wondering which could be the reason behind this problem:
could it be possible that my account is still in a kind of "limited" mode?
could it be possible that there's a limit to the number of e-mail alerts that a user can receive (even if, as from my case, this limit would be extremely low, and it also looks like I'm not receiving the alerts with consistency)?
Your account definitely isn't restricted in any way, it looks completely normal. I've triple checked, and checked again.
This might be something that the server admin @bitpushr can perhaps provide some input, as I'm out of ideas. We've checked everything we can from our side.
Thanks again for your assistence @the_scotsman, I trust you and I know that you have already tried everything you could; I'm really grateful for it.
I also know that it could seem a strange problem and I'm sorry for it; at this point I would eventually be even willing to move my account to any other email address for you guys to check.
I'm thinking about other alternative solutions. What if i open a new account, would it be eventually possible to copy all my thread subscriptions (176 subscribed threads) on it?
Thank you very much again

Hello, what do you mean with "correct solution"?
My idea was to open a new account and to "migrate" or copy my thread subscriptions to it, but actually no forum moderator or admin did reply to my message to let me know if that was possible....
At the moment unfortunately my issue is still unresolved

Alright, thanks.
Hopefully someone will come out with a solution.
Hello there, sorry if I hijack this thread but I got the same problem. In general, it's the opposite problem (spam), but in this case, I don't receive emails from my subscription, despite having "checked" all threads and chose "instant email notification" in me profile settings.
Sorry If I missed a setting.
It worked today. I've got one for a quote and one for an answer to a thread I subscribed.
I don't know if you changed something.
Well I spoke too soon. Again I did not receive an instant email in a thread I subscribed.

I've never found the email notifications to be reliable, Tapatalk is much faster, and reliable.

Too bad, I like email notifications. I think Tapatalk is for mobile users and I browse XDA only from my PC.
