Hi Apj

Could you please elaborate?

Hi,

The sound notifications for SMS is not working, gone to settings sounds and notifications, activated notification tone from the original list even then the notification sound is dead.

Tried uninstall of periscope app which I suspected caused the issue, but nothing has helped.

Thanks.

Could you test on >>>>> safe mode

Some other options to try would be:

Going to Settings > Apps > All, then find the Messaging application, then clear it’s cache and and force stop them to reset the program.

Changing the default SMS app to google Hangouts.


Let us know if this helps.

You could backup everything and repair it with PCC

PC Companion (PCC)

Bridge (for Mac)

DONE!! with PC companion, the PCC has been updated and some of the issues with the phone seems to have got corrected, SMS notifications, slow cursor speed in google search window, brightness, some increase in speed is noted.

However issues of camera overheating and totally zero corelation of volume slider to % of volume, i.e. when you slide the volume to 50% of the volume the loudness drops down to 15 or 20%  of the full scale volume.

These issues remain, can these be resolved with further updates?? I mean how many updates to a operation system, I guess Symbian was the best, absolutely stable with no external interventions like these required.

Some body please analyize this, many be some particular CPU might come out on the top, is there such a rating?? must check out with CNet for this.

Further the keyboard is updated with alphanumeric type with symbols slection with long press, this is far better.!!
