i-Mate SP5 SMS notification problems

[Guest Cybertronic]

This problem has been happening recently, when ever I receive a new SMS, my SP5 doesn't notify me by showing the SMS logo on the homescreen but it does vibrate when I received an SMS. I assume that I have no new SMS's because the logo doesn't appear and unfortunately this leads to extremely late replies!

When the SMS logo doesn't appear, I check my messages by pressing the messaging button on the keypad and it'll show how many new SMS's I have in brackets next to SMS on the list which it usually does.

Is there a fix for this? :D

What was the last thing you did to your phone (or the last application installed) before it stopped working? The sure fix will be to master reset your phone, but you might not want to do that...

I haven't installed any software or tweaks in the past few months or so when the problem started to occured last week. The only programs I have running in the background is OmapClock and TornadoPowerControl, are these known to cause any problems with notifications?

Well, I'm the creator of TPC... and haven't seen or heard of any SMS notification problems. However, if you do have it underclocked, some people have reported strange behavior at times.

Try exiting out of TPC, removing it from your startup, reboot your phone and see if the problem resolves itself.
