how to disable (new)SMS "Notification"
 

Hey guys I searched my tookus off and only found out how to stop the "sms sent" message.
I'm needing to stop the "notification" softkey from popping up when i recieve a message or voice msg. If I could keep the sound and ditch the softkey that'd be great.

Once again I searched high and low and only found the "notification sound customization" and the "SMS Sent" notfication changes.........

thanks guys

Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Sounds & Notifications
Click notifications tab, Select event (messaging) and uncheck Display message on screen.

Actually I was just trying to stall you until I could get home to my laptop. I thought you wanted to make the left softkey not say "Notification". Good I can tweak on something else!

Re: how to disable (new)SMS "Notification"
 

Actually, there is. The Regedit is:

HKEY_Current_User\Notifications\{A877D65B-239C-47A7-9304-0D3475808}
Options = 1 Play sound only

Default Setting is...
Options = 9 Show bubble, and play sound...

Is there a way to edit it selectively? To turn off the bubble for emails but not for texts?

What would the setting be if I wanted to see the text message, but no softkey? AKA, what are options 2-8?

Re: how to disable (new)SMS "Notification"
 

This didn't work for me...and the default value on my phone is 3

Brand new phone, just got it today.

Re: how to disable (new)SMS "Notification"
 

Options = 3

You also have the vibrate option checked. 3=Ring+Vibrate

Re: how to disable (new)SMS "Notification"
 

Sorta looks like they are binary settings where windows is setting the bits for different options:

0001 = ring....................1 decimal
0010 = vibrate................2 decimal
0100 = flash lled..............4 decimal
1000 = display message....8 decimal

So in binary 0000-1111 would have your phone ring, vibrate, flash led, display message. I have also included the decimal values as well for those not familiar with binary. I assume the last four bits are the duration for the led flashing. Change your settings, give it a minute to take and check the value in the registry. The same applies to all sounds that have that option in the personal settings tab.

How did you stop the sms sent notification? That thing drives me crazy!

Re: how to disable (new)SMS "Notification"
 

Google it there is a cab u can install that does the reg edit for you . I forget where though

Re: how to disable (new)SMS "Notification"
 

I changed my left soft key to "Oh Word?" that goes directly to txt inbox and right to "Fresh 2 Death" which goes to PCM. I unchecked "show on screen" notfication for everything and soft reset but Voicemail still has a blinking new voice mail notification
---Edit--- Now flashes left hand corner "notification" for text and voice mail.

Any fix to stop this Notification from coming up period?

HKLM\Software\Micro$oft\InBox

Create a new Key "Settings"
Create a new string inside "Settings" SMSNoSentMsg = 1

-= or =-
HKLM\Software\Micro$oft\InBox\Settings
SMSNoSentMsg = 1

I believe this one is hard-coded somewhere inside a DLL file. Even with the SMSNoSentMSG hack it always has come up on mine.

Re: how to disable (new)SMS "Notification"
 

well crap. The thing is, when i had wm6 using codys threaded sms app , the notification softkey was non exsistant but here with wm6.1 stock threaded, its there :(

Re: how to disable (new)SMS "Notification"
 

You can still use codys app. When you install it, it will replace the windows messaging app, thus no more softkey notification thing.

Re: how to disable (new)SMS "Notification"
 

yea but in codys all my sips cover my entry field while i type, have to minimize the keyboard to see what i typed

Re: how to disable (new)SMS "Notification"
 

You must always choose the lesser of two evils then. :twisted: I personally would want to see what I'm typing vs. that not really noticeable notificaton.

Re: how to disable (new)SMS "Notification"
 

yea thats what i went with

ADMIN.... bang your gavel and close this puppy
