Sounds and Notifications

[rtkeon]

Ever since I flashed to the "official" HTC Rom Update and load everything I need my Sounds and Notifications seem to reset themselves back to No Notification within 6-8 Hours.

All of the sudden I start noticing messages with no notification.

Has anyone else experienced this problem or can point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

I had the same issue. It started this weekend and I noticed it even before I flashed the new ROM. I have no idea what the issue could be (I thought maybe it might have started after I installed the Opera beta, but I'm not sure).

If your are using the new Opera beta, it is a know issue (bug) that kills your sound notifactions. They can be turned back on under, Start\Settings\Sounds&Notifications. Im using the offical rom with no problems.

Ya running the Opera Beta but even after I turn notifications back on within 6 hours they are back to no notification. I will un-install Opera Beta and try it for a day.

Thanks for the help

I found the following on the opera website. Not official, but in their forums. let me know if it works.

Notifications bug WORKAROUND

Admins: Please remove if this violates the policies of this forum. If so, my apologies.

Here are they steps I've done to work around the Notifications being disabled. This allowed me to avoid removing Opera from my phone. I just couldn't bear to remove it as it's head and shoulders above IE for browsing! It makes it a simple matter to fix the notifications settings with only 2 clicks after closing Opera Mobile 9.5b1. Hopefully we will not need this workaround very long.

disclaimer - only use this procedure if you are comfortable with editing the registry as a wrong move could render your pda dead.

Download and install Fdcsoft Task Manager (free app)
http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm

(before proceeding, make sure your notification settings are the way you want them as this will save them however they are at the moment)

Open Fdcsoft Task Manager (it gets installed in a folder under programs called "system")
1. click on the down arrow in the top/right of the screen and choose "regedit"
2. expand the registry to the following
3. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel
4. TAP and HOLD on "Notifications" and click "Export"
5. navigate to \windows\start menu (so Start Menu is highlighted)(leave the default name of "notifications.reg")
6. click the bottom left icon and choose "associate ... " this will allow double clicking .reg files and having them added to the registry

Now after you open and close Opera Mobile 9.5b1, just go to the start menu and click "notifications" and you're settings will be restored.

Please post your results (were you able to work the procedure and are you still using Opera as a result?)
