No Text notification after Gingerbread update - SOLVED

[#1]

I did the update through PC Companion the other day and am now running Android 2.3.3.

Ever since i did the update i get no notification whatsoever when I get a text message.  Nothing in the bar at the top of the screen, no noise no vibration.  Nothing.

The only time the phone acknowledges a new etxt at all is when I actively go into the Messaging app.  Once I am in I then get the icon at the top of the screen but still no notification sound.

I have looked at all the settings I can find and have also done a repair, again through PC Companion.  Nothing has helped.

NOTE: Ringtone for incoming calls is fine.  And I also get notifications as normal for messages coming through Talk.     I also get no notification when I plug my phone into the PC like I did before.

PLEASE HELP!!

If you have tried reloading the firmware and this has not helped I can only advise getting the handset looked at by a repair agent unfortunately.

do the obvious

messaging -> Menu -> settings -> make sure that Notifications is selected

I'm guessing you had a similar issue?

Wow, totally my mistake cant believe I didn’t even think of that. Thanks for being on the ball uliwooly

No problem

The Notification check is checked.  I have selected a ringtone for it and, when i click on the ringtone in thelist, it plays fine.

Richee, you having a similar problem?  i really dont want to have to send the handset off as it takes forever for it to get sorted.

[Uliwooly]

did you check under the messaging app settings or under settings -> sound -> ringtone?

Although you have reloaded the software using PC Companion, I suggest using the Update Service instead, if this fails unfortunately I can only really advise that you follow the information supplied by Sam in the above post.

Update Service:
