Freaking SMS notifications in calls... times 3!

These are driving me up the freaking wall. I keep my phone on vibrate most of the time, but even when it's not, my SMS notifications only sound once. When I'm in a call, however, every text message that I receive interrupts my call. Not only does it sound a notification (which the other party can hear), it does it 3 times! It happens so quickly, that the stupid thing can't even finish before the next iteration starts again. I don't get upset easily, but this makes me want to punch something.
I can't find ANY menu item that differentiates how notifiations for SMS messages are in and out calls. Can anyone help me?
Oh yeah, I posted it here because I'm running Quentin's 6.0 WM6 ROM (v1.2). I don't know if it's something unique to his ROM, or if it's a default setting. I tried posting in his thread, but no one answered.

I never had this problem on any of the ROMs I have flashed and I've flashed over 20. So Maybe you could try another and see if it happens.

Man, I hope so. I really like the Q-Mobile ROM, though... I wasn't planning on flashing until he released another one. It's the only ROM that has cured my "flashing fever". Heheh...
So... if you're phone is on "loud", and you get an SMS during a call, what happens?

i can hear the notification when I am on a call, but the other person has never said anything so I'm not sure if they hear it or not. Only bothersome because my tone is kind of long and it drowns out what they're saying. I've never had a multiple notification though.

The other side doesn't always hear it. Sometimes they hear it clearly, sometimes not. I always hear it, though. It drowns out everything else. It's like a freaking smack in the ears every time it happens. If I could find the person responsible for programming that to happen three times, I'd kick him/her in the crotch.

Hahaha, better watch it. I wouldn't be surprised if that started happening now....

Mine does the same thing on every ROM i've tried. It plays the notification sound, and then a "beep" sound on top of it, playing the beep twice. Never figured it out.

have you tried one of the kaiser tweak apps out there to disable in call volume beep's? this might just solve your problem

[Q]Disabling fade-in ringtone?

Is there anyway to disable the the ringtone fade-in for this phone? It's the first phone I've ever had that does this and I personally prefer my ringtones to play at full volume whenever i receive a call...I tried playing with ringtone apps to add a few seconds of silence to the beginning of the ringtone, but it's just not the same. I've also tried the 'volume locker' app and it's not what I'm looking for. Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

+ 10 for this, I hope there is a way?
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk

ditto the +10 I too would like to know how to prevent the fade-in. I make my own ringtones, if I wanted it to fade-in or fade-out I would include that in the tone

Count me in, I was disappointed with the fade in...

hmm
just a thought check over in the optimus thread. since alot of the framework for their overlay is still there i wonder if it was an option in settings of their overlay but is just sitting in the framework with no way to modify it now.
i havent ported my number over yet from my verizon phone so im not sure i have gotten more than 1 call so i never noticed this.

[Q] Unlink Ringer and Notification Volume in ICS?

Hi All,
I haven't been able to find a way to unlink the notification volume and the ringer volume in stock-ish ICS (I generally don't stray from pete's ROMS). In GB it was easy, cause they had separate volume sliders. I'd prefer to have my ringer go off much louder than my notifications so that I hear it, but still get faint little audible notifications when I get an email or text or whatever.
Do other ROM's have this functionality? Is there a simple workaround? Or is this something that would require a mod?

Yeah this annoyed the heck out of me also, for some reason they removed this functionality from ICS ... I have no idea why.
It annoyed me so much I wrote an app to work around it ... I just released it on the market mere hours ago!
Check it out, works a treat -

Much more development and features coming to make it easier and better to use.

My question -- Open Kang Milestone 3 now has the ability to unlink notifications, but I like to play with other ROMs. (I love Gummy and always come back to it.) Is there any way to extract that ability and present it as a standalone fix? Or will devs start including that as standard in their roms now?
BTW, I've downloaded Sloppy's app and it works great, lets me keep my ringer on at night but turn off all other notifications. Also, he's very responsive to inquiries. The paid app is worth it.

..

There are people complaining all over the internet about this, but only 255 people starred the issue in google code.
Come on, star the issue and "push" google to fix this.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23117
or
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23202

Yeah this is annoying and totally non sense. I hope they find a way to restore it without having to wait for all rom devs to implement it or having to download a (paid) app that consume memory (even if very little)

Peter Alfonso has this implemented in his roms now, so I'm all good. I switched to cyanogen before Pete had baked it into his ROM, but I had the same experience I always do with cyanogen. Smooth at first, but then deteriorates to laggy, slow and unusable in a couple weeks without a fresh flash. I starred the issue on Google anyway though...it's pretty whack.

Wonder app...and it works on ICS. I can now have my ringer volume on high and the text and email volume to silent. COOL.
"ICS Enhanced Ringer Control" get it on the silly named "Play Store"
I'm using RezRom and it works! Yea

Try Audio Control, it's by far the best volume management app in the Google Play store. There is both a notification and ringer volume for ICS or Jelly Bean.
Really helpful developer too.

[Q] Silent Notifications? InsertCoin ROM

Recently installed the InsertCoid ICS 4.6.1, and I can't seem to find a way of setting notifications to be silent. I have done a bit of googling, and most people seem to be saying that in ICS you have the option of selecting 'Silent' in the default notification sound setting, but its not there... Is this something missing from the ROM, or am I being an idiot?

In Settings > Sound, is the option there?

Hmmm
nice nice nice

settings>sound>volumes

'Ringtone & Notifications' are grouped together as 1 volume. Does that mean you have to have the whole phone on silent, to stop notification sounds?

Yes Man, but if I remember if you have the eqs you can choose these 2 things separately

In the same boat
I'm actually looking for a solution to this as well, also on InsertCoin rom.
I'm recieving a ton of emails during the day and need to keep the notification volume down because I sit next to my boss but as a father of 2, I need to be able to hear the ringer when the phone rings. Having notification and ringer volumes paired is a huge pain. Anyone find a solution to this? Is this an "ICS" thing?
Thanks,

I have the same problem as well. :-(

[Q] Phone viber and then ringing starts after a while, when receiving an incoming cal

Hi,
Ive notice this since the first day i bought the phone but thought was just the ringtone. Then, i certified with a custom ringtone that the ring sounds starts at 0:00 but yet, when receiving an incoming call, phone first start vibrating, and then after a while it starts actually ringing.
Is that a os bug? Does it happen only to me? Is there a way (any imaginable) way to fix it?
Thanks very much

Hi!
Have a look at this thread.
If you have a custom rom and the possibility to use a registry editor, maybe you can manage this...

Hello!
Im sorry but i dont see any thread reference
also, i dont use a custom rom but my device is in fact interop-unlocked and i do have wp7 root tools

It's an OS feature. Typically people who have their phone on vibrate because they want to be able to pick it up without it making a lot of noise. Therefore the phone gives you a second or two to respond to the vibration before it starts the ringtone.

Thank you both for the answers!
Ive been investigating the ringing system on wp and i gotta admit im a little disapointed of how limited it is. I mean, my old symbian could ring, vibrate and increase ring volume at the same time. (wp can only do one at a time)
Nevertheless, my question has been answered, thanks
