Help SMS Notification sound stopped working

[ayrshiredude]

I am using Handcent and as of the other day, without doing anything to it, the notification sounds stopped working. I have been into all the settings and everything looks ok. Anyone have a clue as to why this should be?

Thanks

I am not sure but I guess sometimes even I have experienced the same issue!


Are you not getting any notification sound at ALL? Or it happens sometimes?

In settings there is an option to preview how your notification would look. When you select it do you get the sound at that time?

No it is not doing it at all for some reason. Yeah I get the sound in the select sound section but it just doesn't work when I get a message

I suddenly started having the exact same problem. No notification sound even though my notification settings appear correct, and the sound plays when I select it as my notification sound in Handcent's settings.

I'm mystified and hope someone has a solution.

This seems a software specific problem. Maybe contacting the Handcent person and informing him about this bug(?) would help.

I pulled the battery out and when i put it back in, the sounds worked again

Same issue with my T-Mobile G2 (Desire Z). Any idea if it could be a power saving feature? Mine started working after I plugged in the charger.

The culprit in my case was Settings > Sound > Volumes
I never touched it but some update must have.
