voicemail notification - General Topics

hi,
in order to get a voicemail-notification (tape-icon on top-bar), are there any settings i have to check with my network operator?
currently i will be notified with an sms if there are new voice-messages.
however, my phone does not show an icon, nor, even worse, the regkey
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \System\State\Messages\vmail\Total\Unread\Count
is not available.
thnx

I'm on O2 in the UK, but I imagine T Mobile should be similar - you need to call up your voicemail and get to the settings menu and change your notification type.
You will probably be able to choose from the SMS option, a ring back option (why?) and the tape icon notification.
Hope this helps.

thanks. i thought i will be s.th. like this. tried it out, but my voicebox does not give my any other options than sms notification.
thanks anyway!

Bigger font for incoming sms preview?

Anyone know whether we can change the font for the preview of incoming SMS?
Look for software called ZoomSMS. It was invented for Eten devices but works well on HTC phones as well.
ZoomSms don't preview automatically...
Of course it does.
i have got a copy and tried...but there is no option to preview.
it will show an icon on the screen and you will have to tap on it
to open the preview of the SMS.
and do u happen to know..how to get rid of the icon and its system
tray shortcut?
thanks..
Look in the phone settings (when you tap on antenna icon, go settings). Check all the tabs there.
thank i manage to hide the tray but still no option to preview Sms
upon receiving. Still need to tap on the mail icon to read the Sms.

Disabling Notifications/Icons

Hey guys I know you probably know where stuff in the registry is that I would never be able to find but what I'm trying to do is stop the notifications I get both the icon in the start bar and the bubble notification, for my new mail coming from outlook exchange 07 and text messages both receiving and being sent. I know I saw other options for notifications you can turn off, so I'm wondering if anyone know how to do this. I mean why are they even there TF3D shows you what you have haha.
You can toggle turning all these notifications on or off using Schaps advanced config. Download it from here
Really? sweet I just installed this to do those TF3D performance tweaks so I guess I just need to go looking deeper to find them, scary haha.
I just looked through everything and it seems all in order, like when it says show icon for some stuff its labeled as no, so I guess I'm missing something because I still get notifications/icons for when i have new/unread mail
Two things you can try:
1. Go to Start-->settings-->Personal-->Sounds & Notifications-->Notifications
Messaging: New E-mail Message & uncheck Display Message on screen.
2. Try this registry key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSAvailabl e = 0
To enable again
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSAvailabl e = 1
I think this should disable all sms notifications.
Give it a shot.
Found this too. I think this should just about hit the nail on the head for you.

Alerts vs. menu bar

I'm not sure if this is a setting or a byproduct of TF3D, but I can't stand the way that alerts work.
If I have a reminder for an upcoming appointment, the notification toast doesn't appear at the bottom like it did with my Mogul and other WM devices. The chime goes off and the alert icon appears on the menu bar, so I hit that, I get the menu bar selection screen and then if I hit the alarm bell, the toast displays at the bottom.
I'm running the default Sprint ROM for now, with some of the basic tweaks. This (and the inability to use a 4-pin headset) are my only real remaining beefs.
Is there a config or tweak I can do, is this just the way it is?

I have a ATT fuze so I dont know how much of difference the set up is...Did you look in system, sounds and notifications then notifications then scroll to reminders and make sure display message on screen is checked...What else have you installed that could be interferring?
Slawcops hint did the trick here.
After upgrading to the newest HTC official (dutch) ROM, TF3D was always in front of such system messages.
By going into the setting menu, sounds and notifications, notifications tab
then selecting "Reminders" (I guess thats what's it called in the english version) in the dropdown box and enabling the "show message in screen" my problem was solved.
Hope this helps!
edit: It would seem this action is needed every time after a soft-reset...if anyone knows where and if this value is stored in the registry, I would really like to know.

Call forwarding icon stuck in notification bar (Solved)

Earlier today a small blue Forwarding call icon got stuck in the notification bar on my NS. I haven't set up any call forwarding so not sure how the icon got there. The calls coming in are not forwarded. The icon is also there when pulling down the notification bar, and it says "Forwarding all calls" but clearly it isn't.
I use the SuperOSR rom and tried restoring a backup but the icon is still there.
Can anybody help to provide some info as to what could cause this? I've tried googling but haven't been able to find an answer. Thanks.
Edit: figured out that by actually setting up call forwarding and then disabling it made the icon disappear from the notification bar. Still have no clue as to why it appeared when no call forwarding was set up. Must be a minor bug.

Thanks a lot for this! It had been driving me crazy for days. I went to 3 and they had no solution. I was prepared to change my number because changing the SIM card had no effect.

Thank you so much. I've had this problem for ages. Even after a full /system wipe it would come back eventually.
Now I know how to fix it.
Much love!

Take another phone and call yourself and leave a message. Then take your phone, reboot, listen to the message and erase it.

Won't get a notification and/or vibration when I get a message

It has been like this for awhile, but it hasn't really been bothering me I guess until now I realized the importance of it, which I should of done this long ago cause it's been like this for a couple of months. Notifications are on, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
So, with notiication, do you mean just the sound and vibration? Or also the message in the upper tray?
It's not much information. So here are some possibilities:
- you have installed a skin and have not selected any sounds.
- in the accessability men you have set: play no sounds/feedback at all (it's for deaf people)
- You have some kind of do not disturb mode on, without the notification in the tray saying so.
- You have backgrond syncing of, and now apps only sync when you use them. So you get no notification.
- sound settings and vibration settings are off (not likely of course)
- the phone is instructed to play notifications to another device (watch or some other bluetooth device)
- your phone is not working properly. Try to restore to factory default and see if it is something in the software, or hardware. If not working after reset, ==> waranty
EDIT: in the title you say: when I get a message. you mean text message? NOtification sounds can be changed. Sms messages can have their own sounds en settings. It's in the sound menu.

Alright this may help or not, but let's say you message me thru the default standard messaging thru the phone. Usually, the recipient would get a notification of that message, shortly after being sent depending on the area's signal. I, however do not get a notification, vibration, ring, I do not get anything that notifies me in any way that I got that message, so I could being doing whatever on my phone, receive an important message about work or something, and never know about it. However I do have Smart Launcher and the messaging icon does have notification numbers to the top left of it, but that doesn't help really.

Where did you check if notifications were enabled. In settings AND in the app itself? you can also try to clear cache and storage of the app.
Ok I'm dumb notifications were on when I went thru messaging, but when I went thru the application manager they weren't on. Honestly don't remember how that'd happened, but thanks for the help bro.
