Text Message notification settings

---

OK I'm having a weird problem... perhaps somebody could test it out on theirs to see if it's a problem with the rom or something I've installed/tweaked that is causing it.

For my "new text message" notification settings normally have all 4 options ticked ie a sound played, a message on screen, the light flashing (which I set to no limit) and vibrate.

However on my Raphael when I set it like this all I'm getting is the light flashing and the message on the screen - no sound or vibration I've been playing with it a bit and I've noticed that if I clear the tick for flash light and just have the other 3 options ticked I get the sound and vibration back! Is this the same for everyone else?

60 views to this thread and nobody's even tried it yet... come on guys! PLEASE!!!

Just set the notifications like yours and sent a message from another phone.

Worked as expected. Action button is doing it's spinning light thing. It vibrated and play the selected tune. But there was no specific on screen message (I haven't used the tweak to wake up on new message.) although it was indicated by a number appeared next to the text message icon.

Hope that helps

I always tick all of those boxes for "New E-Mail", "New MMS" and "New Text Message".

All three have been beeping, vibrating, and flashing as expected. Not 100% sure about the on-screen message, but I think that's ok too.

Not sure what to suggest to get it working properly on your device. On the "Sounds" tab of "Sounds & Notifications" do you have "Events" ticked? No idea if that makes a difference, but I ticked that out of habit...

Hmm.... I do have the events thing ticked too so It's not that. I just tried with no message on screen and it still didn't work properly. It's definitely something to do with the flashing light setting that is causing the sound and vibration to fail.

I'll hard reset later, set it up back how it is now and test the messaging each step of the way to see if I can find out what's causing it.

OK I've done the hard reset and found the culprit. It's caused by installing the cab file for 1-calc lite! Shame cos I really like that calculator and it does look nice on the Raphael's screen

Uninstalling 1-calc doesn't fix it either. Gonna have to hard reset it AGAIN now lol

Oh by the way thanks Lazy Slug and Sub69 for testing yours and reporting back to me

Hmm looks like I was wrong, I have done a hard reset not installed 1-calc at all this time and have started having the same problem again. 1-calc might not be the cause of it after all (I hope so cos I like it) or (god forbid) there might be something else as well as 1-calc that causes it.

Looks like I need to do more testing...

1-Calc Lite

For what it's worth, I also had 1-Calc lite installed.

And as a slight off topic question. As a Guru of video recoding what software do you use? (Looks like MPEG4 is the way to go - just want a little pointer in the right direction. )

(PM me if you want some test messages sent to you. I never use my monthy allowance!)

lol I wouldn't exactly call myself a guru of video recording, I hardly ever do it in fact, I just know my stuff about it

For what it's worth:
- I have the K-Lite codec pack installed on my PC which I've found resolved practically all PC video playback issues and comes with some pretty nifty tools like that G-Spot program I mentioned in the other thread. (which you've obviously read ) You can get that here
- I've got Pinnacle Studio 10 platinum edition (commercial software which I paid for) for editing and encoding my home movies off my dv camcorder.
- I use a lot of the free software from this page for quick video conversions, very good software considering they're freebies
- I also have an old Archos AV400 Pocket Video recorder with 80gb Hard drive, which can encode mp4 at 640x480 30fps from any video input source in realtime I Haven't used it for ages but I think I might dig it out again now! This device is about 4-5 years old now, there are probably much better ones about now... check out www.archos.com!

Oh and don't worry about sending me messages, I can send them to myself (I bet you didn't know you could do that!) and I'm on Solo 20 with unlimited texts.

Perfect info. Seen a few people on the train with the Archos - seems a pretty good player.
I'll give K-Lite a go today. Many Thanks

Wasn't sure that you knew that either
