Does anyone know a registry entry to enable alerts for incoming text messages?
Thanks
Have you tried the settings?
This is changed in settings, sounds & notifications, notifications tab, In the "Event" pull down select "Messaging: New text message" then check the box for "play sound" and change the sound. This setting is muted if the ringer / sound is muted however.

Is it possible to set the alerts or reminders in jam with any notification sound / ringtone or vibration? I tried to set the reminders but it only displays the upcoming appointments but never gives any alert or reminder.
How can I set any notification sound or ringtone with the reminder / alert?
Thanks.
I think this should be in the Sounds and Notifications settings.
If it's not there, I use alarmtoday to allow all of this to be customised.

You can also use PhoneAlarm from the same developer (www.pocketmax.net) for similar audible repeating alerts for phone functions (voice mail, missed call, sms, e-mail)

Yes you can. You should find it in the Sounds and Notifications settings.
Ringtones usually go in the 'windows\rings' directory and any other alarms etc go directly into the 'windows' directory.
Then go to START, SETTINGS, SOUNDS & NOTIFICATIONS, make sure the the first three tick boxes are enabled, then select the NOTIFICATIONS tab at the bottom. In the event box, select REMINDERS. Make sure the PLAY SOUND box is ticked. You can then select the alarm you wish from the list (under reminders).
Is it possible to change the Ringer tone for the Sms Messages?
Thanks!
Yeah, get any .wav file you want and chuck in in your Windows directory. Now go to Start, Settings, Sounds and Notifications, Notifications (tab) and select "Messaging: New Text Message" in the top drop-down box. Make sure "Play Sound" is ticked and then select the sound in the drop-down box. Your .wav file should be there.
Thanks !!!
I tried this but it doesn't work
Hi there,
I do not get SMS sound notifications even though I have set the notification as mentioned in the o2 instructions manual. A soft and hard reset do not resolve the issue.
Any thoughts on this? Is there a windows registry hack that I can carry out in order to resolve this?
Cheers!

I loaded WM6.5 ROM on my Treo 750.
Everything is great except one issue...
... I cannot set the Incoming Call Ring Tone.
When I go into the options of the phone, it is set to "none".
I set it to "Vibrate and Ring", then set a ring tone.
When I save/exit, it reverts back to "none".
I tried mid ring tones, wma, and mp3.
I tried ring tone only and vibrate only also...
... But no matter what I set it to, it keeps reverting back to none.
It WILL NOT ring or vibrate on incoming calls.
The SMS, Voice Mail, Missed Call, and email notifications all work fine.
ANY Help would be great!
Thanks
try first to change the other sounds , like unknown caller , and so , and then return to change the known caller...

Thank You for the reply!
There is no problem saving the settings in the Sound Notifications settings.
While on the dialer(Phone) screen, I cick Menu, then Options. This takes me right to the Phone Options page where I can set the folowing 3 options:
(1) Ring Type (Ring, Ring and Vibrate, Just Vibrate)
(2) Ring Tone
(3) Keypad Tone
While the Ring Type is set to "None", the Ring Tone box is grayed out.
I change the Ring Type to "Ring", I can then select a Ring Tone.
The only field that WILL NOT save is the Ring Type.
The Ring Tone still has the Ring Tone I selected in the box.
But the Ring Type keeps reverting back to "None".
But I did as you said (in sound notification settings)...
I changed the Unknown Caller tone. Then returned and changed the Known Caller tone.
This had no affect on the incoming call ring.
Still would not vibrate or ring.
guys i have little problem on my lg optimus 3d when someone send me a message not ring any tone .. i have select the different tone but nothing happen and my phone is not on silent other tone work prefect but message tone is not working any solution please
Try downloading a free ringtone maker from the android market (some do tones as well) and see if that works.
how did you setup the sms tone?
go to messages (eg from homescreen by clicking the message icon), press the context key, select settings, and scroll down to "Select ringtone".
also check the sound/volume settings:
main menu > sound > volume > uncheck the option "use incomming call volume for notifications" if its active, and than you'll see another bar for Notification. select the maximum and press OK. try to send an sms to yourself and see if you'll get the tone.
I have set my phone on Vibration profile.
My whats notifications settings have DO NOT VIBRATE set for messages. Phone still vibrates when i receive a whatsapp or for that matter any notification such as Gmail.
I can go to notifications - apps - particular app and set as "show silently", but then it will not show a headsup or will not sound if i change my sound profile to ringing. Any suggestions here?
