Xperia Z3 compact message tone

[dwunit2]

Hi there......new to all this forum stuff. I have a new Xperia z3 compact and I am so frustrated trying to get a ' message ' tone out of it. All it does, is sit quietly with a little '1' by the messaging icon on the home screen. No use to me at all; I need to hear an incoming message. I have tried setting the messaging notification tone on 'default' or any of the other tones, also 'none' and within the main settings 'system' notification sound to any available sound, but still no joy. I have updated the latest software and have shut down and rebooted my phone. My friends are getting sick of me asking to text me just so I can test my new and expensive phone. Any Ideas please?

Thanks uliwooly....it is all fixed now. I too was puzzled because I had gone thru' everything obvious, but then had to go into the phones main settings > apps > all > messaging > app info .....and tick the box 'show notifications'. Why this was not preset from new leaves me wondering. Previous Huawei phone just worked right out the box.

Cheers, ....

I had the same problem with my phone. I don't know how i managed to block message notifications but i did. To unblock....

- Settings

- Sound & Notification

- App notifications ( bottom)

- Slide across to ALL and find messages.

- untick block

Open the messaging app.

Then touch the three dots on the top right. 

Then open the last option, SETTINGS.

You have notifications sound there...Select the sound that you want.
