How do I stop the annoying text message alert while in a call?

[Viper786]

There is a really annoying alert that is loud as heck whenever a text is received while im on a phone call. Is there anyway to stop this?

Turn off the notifcation, but it will turn it off when you're not on a call too.

i hate the notification too. the default tone was loud and the caller could hear it as well.

i changed the ringtone by editing the registry. i am sure you could just delete the tone all together as well.

I changed the Sound value from Notify.wma to Default.wma
So now it just beeps 3 times when a text comes in while on a call.

i wish it was as easy as a d-word change in values...i hate rewriting shit.

so does it work? im tired of getting my calls all chopped up because of incoming texts/emails.

works for me..like i said i changed mine to single beep. so i now i hear 3 beeps..really quick and not that long chime 3 times over...

[lazydazed]

cool. so i can pick any of my system sound files then? like say a soundless ringtone?

I had to pick a different factory beep for it to work. I havent done a soft reset to see if it sticks though.

Edit: Soft reset set it back to the way it was for me. Still plays my ringer.
