After i uninstalled Handcent on my EVO i have started receiving SMS/Email/MMS notifications during phone calls, which is annoying as all hell to have it blast into your ear while trying to talk to someone.
Does anyone else have this issue or know of a way to fix the notifications from playing during a phone call?
When in Handcent app, hit Menu , Settings, Notification Settings, scroll down and on the very bottom there are options Sound on Call & Vibrate on Call.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
If I receive emails or have calendar event come due while on a call, I get the notification sounds playing in my ear while I am trying to listen to my caller. I cannot find a way to disable these sounds while I can connected to a call. Am I just missing something or is this a limitation?
I don't think there is. It is super annoying. It happened to me last week on a very important business call. I got several notifications while on that call and couldn't hear some of what the person on the other end was saying, it was loud enough that I thought even maybe they heard it.
Yes! Thanks for bringing this up. I'd love to at least make them quieter! I've had friends who tend to send multiple messages; I keep getting multiple alerts during a single call. It's very distracting.
Settings - System - ringtones and sounds - just untick what you don't want and choose "none" to any email, voicemail, sound alert.

That will just turn those sounds off all the time. That's not what we want. We only want those sounds off or a lot lower while on a call.
During a call the notification sounds are extremely loud and very distracting.

I guess that is not an option given the weird missing features WP7. (ringtone customization, ability to change volumes separately, having the ability to quickly choose between ring + vibrate, vibrate only, do not vibrate nor ring at all)
Hi all, I have an interesting problem...when my phone gets a text message, i hear the notification, but I also get the ringtone right after that....not sure why...its probably some setting somewhere, but no clue..ive looked and cant find anything...any ideas?....kind of annoying to get a short beep from a text message followed by a loud and long ringtone throughout the day...lol.....
Disable all notifications in the stock sms app.
I'm guessing you have more than one sms app.
my phone doesn't alert me when I get an email or text while on a call, I've looked in the settings to no avail. How to change this? thx

It should be automatic. I never really noticed if it made a sound or vibrated. Make sure your notification volume is all the way up. Enable vibration if you believe that would help. You'd feel a vibration on your ear, which might be better than sound.
Heya,
so, as the title says, I'm having issues muting the notification and app sounds, while still allowing phone calls to get through and ring the phone out loud.
In the past, this was achievable by the Do Not Disturb mode. Right now however, it doesn't mute notifications anymore, as that is now done by the new "silent" mode. But that one also mutes incoming calls, which is completely unusable for me (I have occasional on-call nights when I need to be available on my phone, even if I'm sleeping, yet find the constant pinging of the apps super annoying).
The only working solution I found was to go into notification settings and block notifications from most of the very frequent apps... Which is annoying, as I also have to not forget to toggle the notifications back the next day.
Is there still a way to achieve the "Mute media and notifications, keep calls" combo in Android 12 + MIUI 13? Thanks!
On most phones the phone ringtone and notification volume is separate, is that not the case in your device?

Unfortunately not, instead, I have media, calls and alarm clock (as seen in the screen).
If I mute media, I still get notification and call sounds. If I mute the bell, I no longer get either. Dnd has no effect on the notification sounds.

This certainly sucks, can't every smartphone company share good things from each other instead of adopting all the bad changes. look around on Google maybe there are apps for this.

Hey have you found any solution? As I'm also struggling with same problem
It sucks, but until they fix it, you can use this app.
On the downside, it not only mutes sound, but completely mutes the notification including the badges , though. Anyone please post if you have a better solution.
i know im late. but i found a fix. (kinda) if you remove your notification sound completely. through settings, notifications and vobrations, notification sound and then while in the themes app. ringtone, and then no romg tone. even tho i thaught it changed the ringtone. if you go through settings first. ot will change the notification sound and not the ringtone. hope this helped
While waiting patiently for A13 ROMs for my current daily driver to mature a bit more I am using a silent audio file for the notification sound. I can't believe all these years MIUI still doesn't have an option to unlink calls and notification volume.
