I am noticing that when I am on a phone call my alerts are silent. The phone will vibrate when a notification comes in (for example a text message) but it will not play my alert tone. This is a problem because if I have my phone on the charger while I'm talking I won't know if I receive a text message until I get up and check my phone. Does anyone know a way to make it so that I can hear my alerts when I'm on the phone?
Do you have the alerts tone volume turn up
Settings* sounds* volume

yes I do. like I said, I can hear them fine when I am not on the phone, but when I am on the phone they are silent. I am used to still being able to hear my alert tones even during a call, so this has been very problematic.
For those they may be interested in the resolution: After doing a little bit of digging I found out that the lack of in-call sound notifications seems to be a limitation of the stock android app. Because of this, I was forced to use a 3rd party application for my text messaging. I have installed Handcent and is providing me with in-call sound notifications for text messaging.

This seems like the dumbest thing in the world. How come the phone will not vibrate for texts when set on the Vibration sound profile if you don't have it set to normally vibrate when the notification sound is set to normal?
I don't need it to vibrate when I get a notification sound, but if I set my phone to vibrate, I expect it to vibrate for every single damn notification/call/etc, regardless of what it's set to in the Normal sound profile. It should override all normal settings.
You're right. Its been a feature of AOSP since eclair. Wonder why HTC removed that option.
do you have the box checked in messaging settings to vibrate when messages are received?

no, as I said, when I have my sound on, I don't need it to vibrate. It just baffles me that this doesn't automatically come on when the phone is set to Vibrate.
Is it possible to have different volume settings for different notifications? I'm coming from a BlackBerry Bold, and I was able to set specific ring tone AND volume for each app that I used.
I've only found one notification volume setting in Sounds and Notifications, but when I turn this all the way down, I don't hear text messages coming in either.
I do know how to change notification sounds for each app...this I can do, but not separate volume settings.
I'd like to have a different volume setting for incoming Skype messages, a different volume setting for an active Words with Friends game, a different volume setting for text messages, bla, bla, bla! I was able to do this in my BB for each app, and am hoping this is possible in the T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide!
If not, is there an app that does this?
I'd also like to be able to shut off all notifications when I go to bed, but leave the volume a little higher for incoming phone calls and texts (kids, just in case...), but I don't want to hear any of my game notifications going off all night!
I'm absolutely loving my new toy, even coming from a BB!
thanks so much!!!
Every time I'm on a call, my phone will vibrate if I receive text messages. The buzzing right next to my ear makes it impossible to hear the other person, and is extremely distracting. I haven't found a way to turn this off (besides maybe setting to silent mode during a call, and I'm not even sure that works).
Any idea how to disable text notifications during a call? Would I possibly have to move to a third party app like handcent?
Call settings and then call alerts.

I have 'alerts on call' disabled but I still have the text messages vibrate when they arrive. I do not think I hear any in-call tones though.

Okay, I tested it out. 'Alerts on call' has to be ENABLED, which will result in a very light tone when text messages arrive, but that annoying vibration will no longer happen.
Whenever I get a phone call even when my phone is vibrate it seems that my ringtone always plays. At a low volume though. On messaging if I have it on vibrate when I'm on somebody's conversation and they text me it plays the tone for that. Is there anyway to disable those two tones from going off on vibrate?
Don't know if this is an Android 11, a P4a, or a messages problem.
I cannot get the phone to both vibrate and make a sound when text messages (stock google messages app) come in. It will make a sound if my volume is on, vibrate if the volume is off (slider to lowest) but will not do both. I have the "Vibrate" option on in the notifications settings for the app. Calls will ring and vibrate, my alarm will ring and vibrate, but messages will not do both simultaneously.
Anyone else having this issue? Everything I've searched online says to ensure Vibrate is enabled in settings. It is.
Thoughts?
