Damnit! A bug is back !

I use MSN for my e-mail. Last night I wanted to test the battery. So I went into settings and selected "Items as they arrive" which is like push mail as soon as they come in it notifies me.

I put the phone to sleep (Not using device lock, I just hit the power button) and went to bed. I woke up thismorning and went to turn the device on and just like in previous builds the phone froze, I could see the word "Messaging" where the start menu button should be and the "X" on the right top of the screen. So I hit soft reboot..

Now my E-mail notifications won't work. No Vibration. No sounds. The lights do come on and the number of e-mails do appear on the screen.. But no sounds and no vibration.

I checked sounds and notification settings and there is no corruption. The sound I have selected, Alert-Major1 works fine.

But I no longer can get e-mail notifications.

I sent myself a Text message and called the phone.. Those sounds work fine. But it looks like the Notifications bug is back. I just hope the other sounds don't stop working..

EDIT: Well this is interesting. I soft reset. Sent myself another e-mail... I actually WATCHED as the e-mail came through the "Messaging" screen started to activate, then deactivated. Again no sound. Just the light blinking.. so I wait a minute and send another text, without even touching the device, and bam the e-mail came through and there was sound. So I sent myself another e-mail and again there was vibration and sound..

So it looks like when you have "Items as they arrive" checkmarked as long as it doesn't try to activate the message window it will work..

EDIT2- So after confirming it worked. I let the phone hibernate on its own while it sat on the charger for the past hour. I sent myself another e-mail. The light starts flashing but no sound and screen stayed off. I turn the device back on Via the power button and BAM theres the messaging screen again. As I described above you see the word "Messaging" where "Start should be and the X button is thereon the upper right corner of the screen. For some reason its trying to turn on the messaging app and hanging. This time the messaging window exited on its own.. But now I have no E-mail notifications again.

EDIT3- Ok I've in both Titanium and TF3D I've disabled The E-mail tabs. made sure "Display on screen" is unchecked. I turned off Windows Live services on the Today screen. I've changed sounds. I've disabled account picker. I've done everything and its still doing the samething in both TF3D and Titanium. The messaging app will atttempt to launch and hang after a soft boot or if the device is hibernating and causing the alert sound not to activate. I can't think of anything else I can try. I've gone back to getting e-mail manually and reenabled everything.

As I said there is no actual corruption and my original MR5 review stands.. All other sounds and notifications continue to work perfectly.

***Oh and on another note, I don't know what the hell I did LOL, but in TF3D I no longer have to click on a text message and open it up to get rid of the notification. Also somehow my music is now playing continuously even when place the device in hibernation. I wish I knew what I did that changed these two thing. A lot of people have that issue.

What do you think Mike ?
