So, after no reply to my post, and a hard reset, I have discovered the answer to the no alert on SMS receipt is as follows:
Go to : Setting > Sounds >
Ensure the 'Programs' box has a tick and the 'Notifications' box underneath has a tick, then upon SMS receipt, a sound will play!

I would like to have a message delivery notification for each of my outgoing SMS text messages.
Currently I have to tap manually the “Request message delivery notification” option for each SMS text message I'm sending.(At the screen where you are typing the message click on: menu -> message options -> “Request message delivery notification”)
How can I get automatically a "message delivery notification" for each SMS sent?
Try setting the following registry key to '0'
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg
Wrong... thats the key that tells the device to confirm it has sent the msg (which most XDA members rush to turn off), not the one that tells it to confirm delivery to the recipient.
For that you need:
HKCU|Software|Microsoft|Inbox|Settings|SMSDeliveryNotify = 1
(and be aware that some networks charge for delivery notifications)
Thanks for the fast reply. Yes, I mean the notification that you get from the provider when it has been delivered at the recipient.
But I don't see "SMSDelivery Notify" in: HKCU|Software|Microsoft|Inbox|Settings
Might it be somewhere else in WM6?
FYI: I have a TyTN II WWE edition (if there's any difference)
Btw, can I edit it with Total Commander?
If yes, do I have to choose for decimal or heximal?
Thanks!

im using vario 3 and it seems i havent got this reg , can i add it ?
You can do this without editing the registry:
in Outlook goto tools/options then tap sms/mms and you'll have 2 checkboxes, one is with delivery notification "globally"
Yes the top one is "request deilvery notifications" and that means by default.
(Again remember some networks charge for delivery reports - and dont include them in your text bundles)
does t-mob uk do it ? i mean do they charge ?
i have the att tilt and i want to turn off the "message sent" notification that everyone hates, however all i can find is the same thing about going to the inbox\settings folder but my phone does not have that, when i go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\ the only folders i see are \SendDriver and \svc and inside \svc there is \ActiveSync, \IMAP4, \POP3, and \SMS, i tried putting the smsnosentmsg dword in all these folders and any subfolders but still have the notification
ive got the delivery notifications turned on, is there anyway to get the phone to tell me who ie the recipients name instead of just a number in the delivery notification?
cheers

Install SMSDRfix this will replace the number in the delivery notification with the contact name from your address book.

thanks mate your a star works like a dream. was the only good thing about bloody nokia's out of the box!!
Hello, I have an XDA Stellar (TYTN II) running WM6. My old TYTN I had both tick boxes, but my new XDA only has the 'Unicode' one. Is there another way?
Many Thanks
Hello
I also have just bought an XDA Stella (Like tony38 above) and unlike all the other XDA's I've owned (Before this the Trion) the Message Delivery notification option in the options tick box is missing in the message settings and when I go into the regedit on my pc amending it remotely, it won't let me edit the SMSDeliveryNotify field from 0 to 1 and says permission is denied. If I use a pda based regedit it let me edit the field but as soon as I reboot the pda it resets it to 0 again.
I use message delivery notification a lot as I deal with people who are on planes a lot so I usually get the delivery report when they land and then I know I can call them etc.
If anyone nows how to fix this then I'd greatly appreciate it as its really annoying and I don't now why they have removed the option for delivery notification.
Many thanks
David
I've seen on some phones that you can be informed when your text message has been read rather than just delivered. Is this possible with windows mobile?
Does delivery notification mean that the person actually opened the text?
can somebody tell me why when i recieve a text the sound doesnt play(i have at&t notify as my text tone)..and in the chat the letters are really small,is there a way to fix that??
i figured out the sound issue but does anybody know how to make the text bigger??
this should do the trick for you:
Start > Settings >
>
click on "System" tab
>
click the "Screen" incon
>
clcik the "text size" tab
>
set to a size you like
that should be it.
thanks alot,that worked.
No Problem.
I know I had recently seen it, but I had to play with my phone for a bit to find exactly where.
Glad I could help...
any one know how to make the delivery reports a permanent thing in stead of manually ticking the box every time i send an sms?
many thanks in advance
Sure -
(deep breath...)
Start > Programs > Messaging > Menu > Tools > Options > SMS/MMS > Request delivery notifications
Mathew
i get as far as programs then there is no messaging in there unless im not seeing something on my htc
just use one of the advance configuration utilities found on this forum. you'll find the option you are looking for there
Like me, you don't have the messaging shortcut in programs... not to worry.
On the home screen, tap the Messages icon, then tap 'All Messages'. Here, you can pick up the route described by MJNewton above, by going 'Menu', then 'Tools', then 'Options', and finally tapping the SMS\MMS account, where you'll get the tick box you require.
many thanks for your replies found the option now

If it's not in the programs menu, then it's in the start menu. On windows mobile devices, a program cannot be in both places at once, unless you create a duplicate icon yourself.
Is there anyway I can make my MDA Vario IV read text messages? I had a program that did it on my N95, and TBH, I miss having it.
I've done a search, but it didn't really come up with anything.

I already posted this in the other thread you started. Please dont start new threads....search and if you are unable to find anything (which is rare) then post new questions here if you need help rather than starting a new thread

Does your MDA not have Voice Command preinstalled? If so, it's already capable of this...
Go to SETTINGS (from Start menu) --> PERSONAL (tab) --> VOICE COMMAND
The checkbox next to "Enabled" should be checked, then scroll down and check the one next to "Messaging" in the list.
Now, tap on "Messaging" to select it then tap "Options" on the right. Deselect the "High Priority Messages Only" checkbox, and ensure the "Announce New Messages" is selected. Tap "OK".
Finally, tap "Notifications" and choose the radio button that best fits your situation. I personally have it set to only announce notifications through my bluetooth headset, but that's because I get some pretty risqué messages that I would never want read aloud through the phone's speaker (especially in public!) I also don't have "Only during free time" selected, because if it's going through my headset anyway, it won't be a distraction in a meeting because the headset will be off, thus no voice notification.
Anyway, hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply.
I've just been into the settings like you have said, and I don't have it. Is the Voice Command the MS one? If so, i have it on my laptop but haven't put it on the phone yet (I downloaded it because I liked the way my N95 spoke the name of the person calling me).
I'm going to try installing it now and see what happens.
For some reason when I go to, start/settings/sound & notifications/notifications/incoming text alert and select an alert it does not work. When I go back I find the check box to be simply unchecked.
I do know the sound file works per the little test box, but why does it keep unchecking its self?
Any ideas?
