Can sombody identify what the new notification string that is been added to the registry? I like that the phone will give an alert now, but I do not like that it displays the message on the screen. I would like to change that.

You're welcome.

The old version of PM will spawn a "notification tab" when there is an incoming PM, also shown by the picture of a blue camera in the task bar. Are you saying that the new version puts up some other notification on the screen upon receipt?

The sound that you hear--is it the same as some other sound (such as incoming text message, new email, or anything else you're familiar with)?

I have two Diamonds. One is not activated. It is my test mule. I installed the new PM on the test mule to determine what changes are made. There are no new keys in the registry for notification. It doesn't appear to be configurable. You might notice that the old PM will light up the LED ring. I think both the sound and LED are triggered via direct API calls and unconfigurable via the registry. I'm just wondering what sound it is making (since I can't receive PM on my test mule.

The new version still gives the icon, but it will also "display the message on screen" the same as if you get a new text message.

Thanks. I have "Display on screen" turned off for new text message. The old version of PM would display a tab stemming from the bottom of the screen reading something like "New Picture Mail from...". Is this what you're talking about? If so, I know the old version of PM does it too. I know of no way to get rid of it.

The sound I hear is whatever I set as the sound for New incomming email under Sounds and notifications. Before this udate, you wouldnt hear a sound no matter what you set that to.

you should probably re-flash it to the Sprint stock ROM that's floating around here somewhere. Also, I think people suggest relocking the phone. There were steps in a stickied thread I thought.

There are other threads floating around addressing most of your issues. Have them do an IOTA, or if you have the MSL, go to ##DATA#, Edit, chose restore. After reset, chose "Update Profile" in Settings. This may very well solve your data related issues.
