SMS Alert not always sounding - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I have noticed, that sometimes my SMS alert doesn't always sound. Does this perhaps happen when you are in a conversation, and leave it open and jump right back to the home screen. Therefore the conversation is still "open" on the phone, and hence it doesn't sound? If I go back to my message widget, the new message shows up then.
Anyone else had this?

Go to aplications>mange aplications>all>sound set>clear data
And then set notification sound you like ... tell me if this helps you

Will give it a try

That's not fixed it.
Does it have something to do with the conversation still being open in the message app?

Are you on Android 2.2.1, software version 1.72?
There is a known issue with sms notifications on that version if you are. Best fix is using sms popup from the market to handle your notifications instead of the system app.

Messaging in Froyo

Hello guys
Im currently running LeeDroids 2.1a ROM + launcher pro, but i have a following problem that could appear on other ROMs based on the same build? well anyway, sometimes when I receive a message the phone doesnt react at all, theres no notifications no vibration nothing, is anyone else having similar problems in any froyo roms?
thanks
i found that using the stock messaging app, when you leave it open and lock your screen, new messages dont vibe/ring. you have to exit back to your home screen/another app for the messaging app to ring or vibrate.
i downloaded chompsms however and it will ring/vibe no matter what, so i prefer using chomp

Yes, I have it on HTC 2.2 with root too. Handcent or the stock app, both fail to notify until I go in and see new messages. It's not frequent though but at least once a day.

Does anyone have the problem where when you flip out the keyboard to reply to an sms (in the sms app) and after typing for a bit, the smses scroll up a bit and you can't see the text input box anymore? I suspect that it happens after all the smses are fully loaded in the app...

i find once in awhile that sms time fix app doesn't always fix the timetamp, but its better than nothing.
I have a problem when, deleting a message thread from within the thread. Menu, delete, confirm, etc. Then it automatically goes to the message list, but, pauses for 5-6 seconds before letting you do anything.

I believe it's related to pressing the function or shift keys. I think it scrolls up to show the icon at the status bar at the top.

I also have this issue. I'm somewhat relieved to know my phone isn't broken but am frustrated to hear that it's a longstanding software bug. Anyone know of any good trustworthy third party SMS apps? I don't particularly like the HTC one anyway.

Me too, it's a very annoying bug for a physical QWERTY phone!

Handcent SMS. You can use the HTC sense widgets with it too... even if they are slow.
have any of u had the issue w/ not being able to send photos that was the only issue ive really had besides the scrolling i didn't mind that too much but not being able to send photos through sms is a headache for me

i'm trying Go Voice, but there's no functionality to listen to the message on the phone like there is with Android. i have my GVoice account set to send me a text msg when someone leaves me a message. limited yes, but works for me (for now).

I had no problems listening to messages on the phone. When you open the transcribed message, click the play icon just above the transcribed text.

yep... You're correct. Discovered this after playing around with options. Thanks for correcting my misstatement!
Try the GVoice app; I wrote it It has tile/toast push notifications too
1.0 is a bit rough, but I just submitted 1.1 to the market to clean up all the issues and add more features

Koush, I have a question. Does your app support push notifications via WiFi only? For instance, I live in an area with no cell reception, and I'm forced to use wifi only. Will this app give me push notifications with just wifi on?
I'm using GoVoice and have been quite happy with it. Updates with feature improvements seem to be coming through on a regular basis. I just setup background notifications to the live tile and I am testing it out.
im surprised this is all the input on this thread
Well, Android phones by far have the best google voice app (obviously) I been using GoVoice and it seems to be working ok. Its a pain in the ass though, the fact that WIndows 7 cant multitask means that you have to start up GoVoice every single time it for me it just takes too long. The notifications are nice though, when you get a text message you'll see the notification at the top like you normally would with a regular text message.

same issue here.
alright.
after digging around the developers website i found the right instructions for getting the push notifications and live tile to work.
sucks that it doesnt make the directions too clear on the app and elsewhere...
http://blog.taotaotech.com/setting-up-push-notifications/
so yea... even though you will have your gvoice set up to send u an email for new voicemails, the gvmax end will cancel those out so you wont receive those annoying emails...
live tile works for me now.
Is there a way to get voicemain notifications similar to other ones (like SMS)? Won't do it for me.
EDIT: NVM it works. Just didn't get one the first time.
Is there a way to get the update notification to go away? My GF's HD7 has the update number on the live tile, but when we update it, it keeps saying it needs to update.
which live tile is it for?

The marketplace app never shows it update.

are you referring to the number that appears next to the icon (to indicate number of updates)? if so, have you tried just restarting the phone. i think it's all related to the known bug with the market place at present which causes the market place to crash every now and then.
nah, restarts dont fix it. Still wants to update even though its been updated countless times.

That's a known bug with the "trial" version of a lot of apps... Not sure if you're using a trial, or "free" version which can be downloaded as a trial

Getting 2 notifications for 1 text!!!??

Im getting 2 diffrent notifications for 1 text message ! i have tried disabling notifications in my default message app and still another one comes up and it says 1 unread text message then when i view it it still on the notification bar but now says no unread messages... anyone know whats going on? i really hate getting 2 tones for 1 message!! pleasse help!
Sounds like you are using a 2nd text application like Handcent.
Both applications will indicate a new message, Android and Handcent (or whatever). You have to open up the Android application and disable notifications.
Are you rooted, if so, I recommend using Titanium backup and freezing the stock messaging app. I think the free one will freeze/thaw apps , but if you are rooted the paid version is a must have in my opinion
You have to go into the stock messaging app and hit menu > settings > and uncheck the notifications.
i did all that i figured it out it was the stupid beautiful widget pack2!! grrrr!! but thanks for your guyses help!

Glad to hear you got it fixed.

[Q]Having issue with the message notification.

I am having this issue for a couple of weeks now, i am getting no notification for text messages. No sound, no indication. Even no msg number appears on the msg icon when it suppose to show the number when msg comes. The only way i know the new msgs is when i go to inbox then i can see the new msgs came and then if i went back to home screen without reading the new msges then msg icon shows new msg numbers and on the top notofication bar.

Little Clarifications Please:
1) Using CUSTOM ROM or Stock ROM?
2) Using Stock messaging App or any others?
I'm assuming you'r using default stock messaging app in STOCK ROM.
May be try opening Messaging, Press Menu key and go to Settings, under the settings there will be notification settings. Check those.

I'm not sure how is this then.
May be Check whether it's similar to this.
Also, Check you notification volume and Also make sure the there is some ringtone selected in these apps as well.
Since Go SMS works fine i think it's ostly an issue due to the setting in Stock Messaging app.

Force stop and Clear data in Application Manager. May be that would help.
