No notification for new text

All my phone does now is the screen lights up and the space that said "no new messages" will turn bold and say "1 new Text Message" but there is no notification tone or anything else.

??

I installed the cab to remove "message sent" a couple days ago and thought they might be connected. Uninstalling the /cab didn't fix the problem.

I also have it checked to vibrate too and it doesn't vibrate either.

I get the same problem also but haven't been able to pin point whats causing it. somewhere on another thread I heard someone mention google maps 2.0 so I uninstalled it still waiting to see if the problems persists. I have the HTC 5 tab plug in and thought that maybe that was the trouble due to them having to fix the notification issues but I was still getting no notifications after I uninstalled that as well. I've also tried deleting the threaded SMS but that didn't help.

I hope someone can pin point the trouble.

One thing that i've noticed is that once I get this issue if I go to the notification menu and in the drop down menu go to SMS and I hit the play button to play the sound it won't play. I have to hit the play button numerous times and then I'll hear the notification and its back to normal.

Weird thing is that while I won't get notified for incoming texts I'll receive phone call normally.

I did a hard reset and all is well! Other than the hassle of course, lol

I seem to have fixed my problem as well. I was using an mp3 as a text notification so I converted the audio file to wav and placed it into the windows folder. I haven't had a missed text notification for almost a week.

Logic seems correct on this. All notifications by default in windows are in wav format so maybe it runs into issues playing a mp3 notification. Though I have always used a mp3 for and have never missed a phone call due to that so must be just an issue with text notification.
