[Q] No sound for SMS - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Suddenly I don't get the sound notification (vibration works) when I get SMS, but all the other sounds work fine. I've changed the SMS tone lot of time and nothing seems to be getting it back to work.
Any ideas or help?

Open application manager, find messages.apk, clear defaults/data and set your ringtone agen in sms app settings.

Thanks for your reply.
Tried that just now and nope, it doesn't work . Before that I wiped them using TB which also didn't do any good .

Are you using any third part sms app maybe?
Check your volume settings?
Try third part (etc go sms) sms app?
Strange

Nope! Nothing special and the sound gone automatically. The phone ring tone, Email, etc. are working fine. Only issue is with the SMS.

What SMS app are you using? I know Handcent and GoSMS both support this feature (only 2 3rd party apps I've used for SMS).

thanks...new to android...i cant believe they left this out of the stock android.
With "Tasker" and the "Secure Settings" plugin, I have set mine to disable the lockscreen, wake the phone and open straight to the sms app.
THANKS @refthemc, the SMSAWAKE is a simple and usefull app!

Jelly time question

Tried to post in the relevant thread but didn't realize I need 10 posts. What I would like to know is how do i set separate tones for sms and notifications? I'm sure I was able to in previous versions/roms. If somebody could repost this in the jelly time thread would be much appreciated.

You probably need to go into the settings of the SMS application you use. If that doesn't solve anything try using GO SMS from the store. It's free and it's a speedy sms app that lets you customize a lot. You can have your own sms notif separate from the system.
mount your phone as a drive and you will see foldrrs - ringtones --- notifications ----- drop your sounds in them -- unmount restart then wander in sound settings
There is nothing in the settings menu of jelly time.. So by the sounds of it a messaging app is my only option

mount your sdcard to show folders - did it this aft on JT12
menu - sys settings - device - sound - ringtone [select] - default notification [select]

figured it out, had to assign sms its own ring time through the settings menu of the actaul message interface. Can you tell me the difference between "JellyBean - JELLYTIME for DHD/Inspire4g" (which I am currently using) and "UnOfficial AOKP JellyBean Nightlies"??
About the jellytime rom i amnot trying to complain or affend rb :goodi know he works very hard and has a family to take care of but people on the the development say that it is super buttery smooth but there is still some work to be done to the smoothness of it i cant wait till he gets triple buffering completely working

Not receiving notifications for MMS.

I am using Go SMS pro. I have notifications turned off in default app, and on in Go SMS. I get notifications fine from standard msgs but not MMS. It worked fine up until a few days ago when i noticed that i would get an MMS but not a notification for it. So i wouldnt know that i had one until i manually checked my text list.
Any idea of what to try?
bump. anyone?

I would make sure it's not a network problem by deleting the app and making sure the stock MMS app still works. Have you tried emailing the developer of the app your problem?

I wouldn't bother emailing the dev. They are some of the worst at replying. They focus mainly on their targeted user base in china.

I'm also having this issue with AOKP 3/1/13 release. I get my sms notifications fine but MMS wont notify me at all (unless I manually go in and check my messages).

Make text tone different from notification tone???

Is there a way to get the tones for incoming texts to be different from the tones for notifications?
I know in hangouts it can be set differently in the app. It is by default. I had to change it back. Ha

Yes, Open Text and hit Menu/Settings/Notification/Notification sound. You can also change it with a app.

Thank you!
That seems to have done the trick. Cant believe i never checked for a settings tab from within the app itself! Stupid me!

Glad I could help.
Depending on how much time you want to spend you can go into your contact list and choose anyone of them and edit. You can assign a different text tone to everyone.

Assigning messaging tones for contacts

There does not seem to be an option to assign messaging tones for individual contacts? Or am I just blind?

I'm not using a 10 yet, but isn't an option available inside the contact itself?

Ups... sorry, I misread what you said before...
I never saw that kind of option on a HTC, don't think it's possible with stock apps, but I might be wrong
Correct, HTC phones don't have this option. Which has always puzzled/frustrated me over the years.
I ended up switching to Textra as my texting app. Great customization and performance, including the ability to set individual ringtones for people.
