No sound notification when I receive a SMS message - how to correct this ?
No worries. I'm glad to help. Did you max the volume? If even after maxing it and still sound soft, I suggest that you change message tone. Go to Settings > Sound settings > Notification settings, change it to a louder and more attention catching tone.
Thank you for answering - I always appreciate that. I did as you suggested with the volume all the way up, with the result that now I do hear that a message has been received, but ... it's very soft. Better than nothing I guess. SJ
Try this: Go to Settings > Privacy > Background apps.
Make sure messaging and Skype is enabled.
