This only seems to work only sms, this doesn't work for voicemail alerts while you are on a call. I got a loud voice mail alert while I was on another call.

Would there be any reason why my edits to registry would change back to defualts? I am using the Resco registry editor. This is really weird!

I'm not sure. I may do a hard reset in the next week or so and start from scratch; if I do I will try these and see if I changed anything else.

I've got this thing working pretty much the way I want, and I'm not getting the sense that very many people are benefiting from this thread, so I'll be taking a bit of a break from researching unless specific needs come up. Real work beckons.

For some reason that particular registry edit keep changing back to its default, I use the phone then go back and check the registry it has changed back.

So far I am satisfied with the device, I like it more after the tweaks. I have a few couple other things I am trying tweak then I should be good. I think I can deal with the 2 beeps for now, no biggie.

I am trying to find what reg key to disable the outgoing alert at the sent message splash screen. You mentioned earlier that you didn't get a sound when your message has been sent. The sound I get is the "stk_call_waiting"

My current sound settings are turned on and I have programs and notification(alarms, reminders) checked off.

When I turn sounds on for receiving a new TXT I get that sound (it's the default). But I don't get it when sending, only when receiving a new one. Just tested my sending to myself. No sound while "sending 1/1", 30 seconds later, I heard stk_call_waiting beep while the message came in.

I will try to doing a hard reset on my phone and doing everything from scratch.

On another note anyone know of how to change the tone of an incoming SMS when you're on a call? Mine is deafening and long which makes me not able to hear the conversation.

Let me know if it works for you.

I'm using Garmin XT, and it worked out of the box.

Hi Haus,

I went ahead and followed your directions to change the in-call notification, and it was still super loud, it did 2 loud beeps then the wav file I specified. So I tried and removed the "P" from the script, and I still get the 2 loud beeps, just not the wav file anymore. Any idea how I can disable the 2 beeps?
