SMS Notifications Do Not Work (no sound, just short vibration)

My notification settings for SMS and MMS messages appear to be ignored.  I have them set as an audio tone, I have the volume all the way up and I have the vibration set to 'long'.  When I get an SMS message, why do I only get a *very* short vibrate and no audio?
I have done this:
1) Open Messaging
2) Touch Menu --> Settings
3) Scroll down to Notification settings
4) Ensure "Notifications" is checked
5) Selected a sound in "Select ringtone" (I selected chirps)
6) Ensure "Vibrate" is checked (description says "Also vibrate when notified")
7) "Message alert repetition" is set to "Every 2 minutes"
8) Ensure "Preview message" is unchecked
I never hear chirps, I never get repeat message alerts, I only get a very brief vibration.

    That's odd skywayman!  Let's work together to resolve this notification issue.
Have you installed any type of 3rd party messaging or ringtone applications?  Let's test the SMS notification sounds while your device is powered up in Safe Mode http://vz.to/1aTnew1.  If the notification works correctly while in safe mode, then we know that an application is blocking the notification sound.  If you can pinpoint the problem application, just uninstall http://vz.to/19qgKl4 and retest.  If you cannot pinpoint the application, I would simply hard reset http://vz.to/177eLkN the device to start it afresh.  Keep me posted with your results.

  • Email sound notification is not working

    As the title says, My email notification is not working (in a non-quiet mode) the vibration works in both modes. I have changed the sounds just to see if it makes a difference, but no. Everything else works, txt msgs, FB, etc ... Any ideas?
    I have turned sounds off and on and anything else I can think of.
    Thanks

    You may still be within 90 days of purchase, where you have access to Apple telephone support. If so, you might want to contact them.

  • Push notifications are not working on current gen ipod touch

    Push notifications are not working on current gen ipod touch. I just got it a couple of weeks back. It is a refurbished model.
    It works fine on my iphone 4 flawlessly. I have compared the settings between the 2 and everything is similar. Not sure if there is anything specific that needs to be done for an ipod. Kindly advise.

    Yea...internet is working fine. tried everything. reset the network, turned off the notifications, rebooted and turned them on. Still not working.
    When I select auto settings, its asks for https url...what do i type in there?
    The most weird thing is that, it was working fine before the update :s

    That does sound frustrating, to not have your iPhone 4s recognized by Image Capture or iPhoto. The article linked below has a lot of great information and some troubleshooting tips that you may not have tried already, which will resolve most issues like this one.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

  • Notification is not working after upgrading to Mountain Lion ??

    I have upgraded my Mackbook Pro to mountain Lion and the Notification is not working however I utilized my Apple ID, any idea how to solve this issue?

    I have a similar problem with my Apple LED Cinema Display 24" (from july 2009). Worked like a sunshine first and had the Apple Care taken out on it in combo with a MacBook Pro 13" from Early 2009. I;ve been using the second screen on my MacBook Pro 13" and for the past 3 years with my iMac27" connected to the MiniDisplay port on my desk. Since a good 2 weeks the screen blacks out. The iMac and 2 other MacBooks (Pro retina 15" from Oct 2012) and MacBook air Mid 2011) all recognise the screen as a second display and the mouse appears to go to the second screen.
    Only when I hookup my MacBookPro Retina 15" I get a connection signal and a very brief image on the screen for a split second and then it all blacks out. I cannot get it to work anymore.... Is this the end of this screen or is there hope?

  • Push notifications WhatsApp not work.

    Push notifications WhatsApp not work. I only receive them when I open the app. I've checked the settings on iOs and Whatsapp and all is ok. I've also updated to the latest versions. Can you help me?

    I actually did, and here is the answer I received:
    "When you are sent a message in WhatsApp, but are not online to receive it, WhatsApp will automatically send your message to the Apple Push Notification Service (APNS). This allows an alert containing the message to be displayed, even when WhatsApp is closed or your phone's display is off. Most often, all that is needed to resolve notification issues is to ensure that all notification settings are enabled. Review these FAQ pages for troubleshooting steps:
    Notifications Troubleshooting
    Connection Troubleshooting
    Sending your message to APNS typically takes only a few milliseconds. Once your message is sent to APNS, any delays or failure to deliver the message as a push notification to your device are usually caused by issues with your phone or network connection. Currently, all of our systems are operating normally.
    If you are using iOS 7, and are confident that you have all push notification settings enabled in WhatsApp and the iPhone Notification Center, then there is likely an issue with your phone that WhatsApp cannot resolve for you. In this case, I recommend the following steps:
    Backup your entire phone to iCloud.
    After the backup is complete, Erase all content and settings.
    Continue setting up your phone as a new device (do not restore from the iCloud backup).
    Install WhatsApp and verify that push notifications are working correctly (have someone send you a few test messages while your phone's display is turned off).
    Erase all content and settings and restore from the iCloud backup. "
    I tried to delete everything from my iPhone and then restore my data with the backup on my computer but it did not change anything, I still can't receive any notification, unless I open the application... However, I restored immediatly my backup cause I was afraid it wouldn't work after, but I don't really think it would change something to first start as a new device and then erase all content again and restore it.

  • While updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

    while updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

    Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.
    If that does not work then see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • My Air port is not working the wifi - just an amber light blinking. What's going on ?

    My air port is not working the wifi - just an amber light blinking. What's going on ?

    Sorry it is just not enough info to be able to figure it out.
    Do a full factory reset and start over.. that is the best way out of the hole.
    Using ethernet is far far superior to using wireless at least for setup.
    Using iOS device with airport utility is better than using wireless via a Mac with airport utility if you have MBA or MBPr.. but it is still better to buy a usb or thunderbolt to ethernet dongle so you have actual real connection and not a vapourous one.

  • PL/SQL notification is not working

    Hi,
    We are using PL/SQL notification procedure to de-queue AQ in our application. Now the notification is not working in development instance whereas it is working in Live. The database parameter job_queue_processes was having value 0 in development database and it is now reset to 10. Still the problem exists. Please let us know what could be other reasons for failure of PL/SQL notification in AQ.
    Thanks

    No version number.
    No DDL.
    No DML.
    No error messages.
    As already stated no clear understanding of what isn't working
    But equally important no clear understanding of what you implemented and how.
    If you want help you must be specific.

Anyone have any ideas?
