Avoid sound signaling for SMS receiving acknowledgement?

Hmm i use SMS receiving acknowledgement by standard.
Can i turn off the signaling for it?
I think just a popup is enough. I dont need a "beep beep" on my phone immediateley after sending a SMS to another.

Hello messia,
As the SMS notification is a simple SMS you recieve from the network when the recipient get your SMS, you have to deactivate the sounds for incoming SMS's.
You can controll all notifcations in the settings:
Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifcations
(Start > Einstellungen > Sounds & Benachrichtigungen > Benachrichtigungen)
If you choose "Messaging: new SMS" (Messaging: neue SMS) , you can turn off the sound for incoming SMS messages.
The downside of this is that sound notification is disabled for all incoming SMSs, not only for the send notifcations.
Greetings,
BGK

thx but that is not the problem, the problem is that i want a sound for a new sms i get, but i don`t want a sound for a sms that someone receives from me.
A popup for this is sufficient

I remember turning OFF the notification of sent messages previously, i think the info is in the forum somewhere, but it turns it all off. Both sound and popup.
I think it was a registry hack too. Was a long time ago, im fighting wm2005 now so havent got time to check back how i did it sorry.

yes i know how to deactivate completely but i just want to deactivate the annoying sound

it`s impossible, isn`t it?

Yes, it is impossible. The SMS you receive from the network looks the same as an sms from one of your contacts to your phone. The device cannot distinguish one SMS from another, so you can only choose to switch of the sound for all sms-es. You can also choose to disable delivery notification entirely, but then you will only get a pop-up that the sms is send, not when it is received by the other party, since the network will not send you an sms to notify you of delivery.
However, even when I am writing this, I consider two issues:
1. There is some program floating around that enables blocking certain senders of sms. That means however that the sms will not reach your phone, so this is bascially the same result as with switching sms delivery notification off.
2. BUT! Darek, the creator of DKToday ( search for him on this forum with the term DKToday, or his name dkot) uses the SMS delivery for counting the number of sms send this month. Basically, he could not find a way to extract sent sms info from the system, so instead, he chose to count the returning delivery notification sms from the network as a measure of the no. of sms sent by you. So, in some way, he must be able to distinguish delivery notification sms from normal sms, as sent by your contacts. I recommend you to contact him and ask him how that is done, maybe he can tell you what the distinguishing feature is between normal incoming sms and network sms.
Edit: After re-reading your first post in this thread, I may have given you an answer to a problem you did not have. Do you want to cancel out the sound for the incoming network delivery notification sms, or the sound from the pop-up after sending the sms ( the system sound)? For the delivery sms, see my answer. For the system sound: I have no clue...

I have written to him. Maybe he can help

Problem receiving SMS

I have a problem with my Himalaya, but this might be an WM6 problem also.
When my device is switched off (so in standby) and I receive an SMS, the device does not notify me that a new SMS arrived (doen't ring, blink). I receive the SMS when I turn the device on next time. I'm sure that the SMS should be received earlier because of the timestamp. I also tried this by sending a message from another mobile to myself.
What might be the cause for this? I can receive calls while the device is switched off.

how are sounds and notifications in settings set for on recieve sms?

For "Messaging: New text message" I have:
"Play sound" set to some standard-sound (Alarm5)
"Display message on screen"
"Flash light for no limit" and
"Vibrate" set.

Hi. try to search for the smsalertfix.cab patch and install it. Make sure it is on your startup folder so that it always starts when you do a soft reset.
It has helped me with that problem.

No notifications come through when phone is standby

Hello, i dont get any notifications when my phone is on standby mode.
this includes:
Email
SMS
Alarms (windows alarms)
notifications for calendar events.
how does i fix?

okay, so try going to: settings - all settings - personal - sounds and notifications. There thick what you want. With the SMS notification while on stand-by, there is a bug which HTC solved (releasing a hotfix - found on htc.com). Tell me if you have any more problems and if you have solved these problems

No calemdar notofocation when the pin is set-up
Hi,
I have a similar problem. When the phone is on standby and locked (eg. after 15 min) I can not get any calendar notification working.
They all show up when I wake up the phone and enter my code.
The only workaround is to disable the lock, but I need it to be set-up (company policy)
Note that other notifications are ok:
- Call
- SMS (after installing the patch from HTC)
- Alarm
Thanks

Any progress on this?, I have installed the official htc hotfix for sms, makes no difference for me.
While the sms not notifying is a frustration, I could probably live with it but...
Alarms are the real problem for me... I can't rely on the device as an alarm clock as the alarm simply doesn't sound until I bring it out of standby with the power button.
Any cure for this, is it hardware or software? do cooked roms exhibit same behaviour?
P.

I have the same problem. I have downloaded the fix from HTC, but still my email does not play a sound (the LED flashes though).
I have not checked other things (SMS, alarms etc.)
It would seem VERY silly if the alarm doesn't sound!!!!

For e-mail, you have to go and turn on the notification for that in the sounds and notifications settings,
Settings-->All Settings-->Personal-->Sounds and Notifications-->Notifications-->Event:Messaging: New e-mail message
And select it to play a sound of your choosing.
it is not switched on by default, in this case that is good for me, if I got a notification alarm every time I got a new e-mail, my phone would be sounding alarms pretty much all the time....
The alarm problem not waking from standby, I have posted in another thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544112 a possible cure, working for me for 2 days at least...

[Q] SMS vibration

I looked everywhere for this and haven't seen anything.
If I set the entire phone to vibrate mode, incoming SMS won't vibrate.
Phone calls, email, all vibrate. SMS does not.
They only way I can get incoming SMS to vibrate is by setting SMS to "Also vibrate when notified"
The problem with this: Then SMS vibrates all the time, where phone is in vibrate or has sound on.
How do I set the SMS to only vibrate when the phone is set to vibrate?

I haven't found a way to do what you are requesting as of yet. Google took this away with the JB update I believe. However CM has an option in setting called profiles that will do this for you when properly set up. If you find something let us know I'd be interested.

There has to be some way around this, without the need to use a 3rd party sms app. I like the stock messaging app, but don't care for no vibration or vibrate all the time.
I also have an issue where the screen doesn't actually come on when sms is received, but I see a number of people on Sprint have that problem.
If I can find anything, I will post back. Hope to check some more tonight when I get off work.

[Q] Vibrate on new text msg when vibration is on ONLY in Sound Settings

Just shifted to Android 4.3 on a Nexus 4 after years of using Symbian. Learning loads of stuff and loving most of it.
However there is one thing that I sorely miss:- The ability to control sound and vibration notifications through "Profiles". I installed a nifty little app called 'Settings Extended' with which I can control these notifications quite easily.
The problem is that these settings seem to apply only to Calls and not Text messages.
First off, I have kept the vibration notification 'unchecked' in the stock messaging app because I don't want it to vibrate everytime I receive a text.
Next I change the Sound Settings to enable both sound and vibration notification. Here I expect the phone to Ring+Vibrate for both Calls and Text messages..just like in Nokia phones. Sadly this does not happen apparently because vibration is OFF in the stock messaging app.
So now I'm in a fix. If I enable vibration in the messaging app, the phone will vibrate for new texts even when I don't want it to and on disabling it I run the risk of missing the notification sound or blinking LEDs for that matter.
I have tried 3rd party apps like GoSMS and Handcent where they have an additional feature to enable vibration notification for text messages only when "Phone is set to Vibrate". The problem here is that the phone should be in "Vibration mode" i.e only vibration is enabled and sound is disabled for the app to give a vibration notification on new messages. When both sound and vibration are enabled under Sound settings, no vibration notification is produced.
This is really bugging me. Seems unnecessary complication of simple tasks to me. I have searched the net for a solution and although have found few people having the same problem, I haven't come across a solution yet. So now I turn to XDA because I know that if a solution exists, it can only be found here.
Thnaks to anyone who had the patience to go through this post!
