I have done a search and could not find any answers.

While using the Palm Threaded SMS app on SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 my device stopped vibrating and sounding when receiving sms msgs (yes, I had it set to do so). The problem would be fixed on a soft reset but, I found myself soft reseting several times a day. I removed the Palm app to use the standard sms. After a few msgs the problem persisted. I then removed SPB Mobile Shell; again, the problem was fixed but, after a few msgs it started again. I then decided to hard reset in hopes to permenantly fix the problem. That worked for about half a day. I then figured that maybe if I hard reseted and reloaded the standard T-Mobile settings that somehow the sms problem would be fixed. Again, this worked for a cpl hours.

Has anyone had similar problems, or know how to fix it?

The fact that it's happening across multiple ROMs begs the question: What software do you always install?
Other than that, I can't think of anything else other than a hardware issue but that wouldn't fit the description.

Well I always use the standard "out of the box" ROM, I haven't flashed any cooked ROMs. I started out using HTC Home, iContacts, Palm Threaded SMS with the two associated fixes, SkyFire, and the core media player with the flash video bundle. I didn't have any problems with receiving sms msgs. I then got rid of HTC Home and began usig SPB Mobile Shell 2.1. I had that installed for a cpl months before the problem arose.

Well, a third party ROM would net you more free storage, free memory, better performance and built in threaded sms...
