My wife's phone is not making sounds when SMS etc received, nor is it showing the icon in the notification bar. I have gone through all the settings I could find and made sure a sound is selected & the proper boxes are ticked; I copied from the settings on my phone, also an Xperia SP bought at the same time as hers. Mine works fine, hers does not. The SMS shows up when she opens the app, but no notifications. Her ring tone works when a call comes through and we hear the sound when selecting a tone in settings. Any clues will be gratefully received. Thanks.
Yes I had, but I wanted to leave that as a last resort. Now that the problem seems to be fixed, I'll leave that to another day. Thanks for your suggestion.
Please ignore my earlier question, I didn't read your message properly. Since posting that I went in to the messaging app, cleared data & rebooted, and sent a test from my own phone. The notification sound now works, as does the light show & the indicator of unread messages. Thank you for your help in this matter.
Now please tell me, why did it work? Did I do something? Or is it just one of those things?
i am having sounds problems too, with my xperia M2.
i get text and phone call sounds.
there seems to be some sound SOMETIMES when i get notifications.NOT always.
but there is NOO sound for fb messenger notifications.
I have cleared data like previous posts., restarted, been on settings everwhere...
on my OLD phone, lumia, is so much easier to find settings , it has "manage app sounds" guess i have to keep my old phone so i can hear sounds for FB messages...
I also had the same problem, but this was not the solution. Turns out that with my Xperia M4 Aqua, the SMS notifications are tied to the "Media Volume". So because the Media volume was reduced, I wasn't able to hear my phone recieve SMS's. Turned up volume, problem fixed.
If Sony would change this, that would solve so many issues.
