Hi People!

I simply don't know what to do. Somehow, my SMS sound disappeared -- too, there is no blinking, no vibration, nothing. can please somebody help me and somehow tell me where the error could be. it's set right in the alerts dialog, when i do a preview there, it works. but a new sms seems not to launch the alert. i remember fiddling around with the regkeys that manage the messaging accounts - maybe there is a naming error?

any help is greatly appreciated...

thanks a lot,

keep posting :)

Try to go through:
Start - Settings - Sounds and Notifications and then set the sound/vibartion as you like.

.. i already tried that, like a hundred times ..
the problem seems to lie elsewhere, as for example in the SMS account name.. fiddling around there may have caused this problem..

BUT i am planning doing a rom upgrade, so the problem will be gone, i think..

btw, is there a generic (HTC, german) ROM version that includes the internal gps-chip? my version: 1.16.407.2 and external rom: 1.16.407.101

as i pointed out the problem started after tweaking my messaging accounts. i now restored them (from a backup i intelligently did) and my sms sound is here again. the "ActiveSync" and "Hotmail" Accounts need to be there in order to have a sms notification ......

\\HKLM\\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\

this is _not_ what i call good programming ..
