Yes I had, but I wanted to leave that as a last resort. Now that the problem seems to be fixed, I'll leave that to another day. Thanks for your suggestion.
Please ignore my earlier question, I didn't read your message properly. Since posting that I went in to the messaging app, cleared data & rebooted, and sent a test from my own phone. The notification sound now works, as does the light show & the indicator of unread messages. Thank you for your help in this matter.
Now please tell me, why did it work? Did I do something? Or is it just one of those things?
If you clear data for messages,it resets all settings applied for it.Maybe a reset was all that was needed.
scroll sideways for the all button, i was having same problem with mine but its sorted now. Thank you.
I had the same problem on my new Z5 and using this setting worked for me. Thanks.
i am having sounds problems too, with my xperia M2.
i get text and phone call sounds.
there seems to be some sound SOMETIMES when i get notifications.NOT always.
but there is NOO sound for fb messenger notifications.
I have cleared data like previous posts., restarted, been on settings everwhere...
on my OLD phone, lumia, is so much easier to find settings , it has "manage app sounds"
guess i have to keep my old phone so i can hear sounds for FB messages...
i've try your solution that open setting>apps>all>messaging>clear data and restart, i've did twice but it still not working.
I also had the same problem, but this was not the solution. Turns out that with my Xperia M4 Aqua, the SMS notifications are tied to the "Media Volume". So because the Media volume was reduced, I wasn't able to hear my phone recieve SMS's. Turned up volume, problem fixed.
If Sony would change this, that would solve so many issues.
