Hi all,

Something very strange has happened to my phone over the last week or so....

when I get a text message i receive no notification of it, not by sound, not by the "1 new message" or even by the envelope sign.

However, i do receive the messages and have to keep checking my inbox all the time to see if i have any txts which is getting very annoying!!

can anyone help?

thanks

It happens after some third part software installation? You can reset the phone to default settings, because all of that seems software!

Hi, havent installed any third party software so dont think that is the reason especially as my phone hasn't been plugged into the comp for months...

any other ideas?

Hi, I have exactly the same problem - it started on Saturday and I haven't downloaded any software recently.

Same problem is now also happening for me. Is there any fix? I have tried a hard reset, as well as a software reinstall, all to no avail.

I updated the software on my phone - which wiped all my current data and settings. I sent a text to my phone and it worked as normal. I then backed up my settings and sent another text - and it went back to the way it was (no prompt).

So it has to be something to do with the settings - BUT I havent amended any settings - so I dont know where the problem lies.

This morning I deleted all my messages - as I thought the box might be too full and the issue was a knock on effect of this - but the deletion of all messages didnt have an impact at all.

Hi,

Did you resolve this issue? My N95 started doing this last night.

Thanks

Hey,

My phone did this a few months ago, and by some miracle of restoring factory settings and wiping all memory it fixed itself. Last week however it started doing it again, and even taking it into the Carphone Warehouse and asking them to look at it hasn't fixed it.

Will let you know if i find a solution, anyone with answers would be much appreciated!

That worked for me

I found a post on another site can't find it now, but in short it's because you have more than 2000 messages, seems the OS can't do more than 2000. Delete some messages and then hard reboot the phone (Take the battery out while the phone is still on but idle)

Hey, i deleted most of my 2400 messages, got it below 2000 and hey presto the prompt for new message is back!!! no more checkin the inbox for the red star to see if i got a message!!! thanks very much for the advice saved me alot of hassle and a new phone!!
