Hi,
I had this problem
I was talking to my friend and another call came in and the phone starts to vibrate :S it was sooooo annoying and the other person did hear clearly that I have a waiting call, it was so embarrassing
Is there's any solution to make the waiting call just beeps or do something unnoticeable
Thanks
Do you have in your phone settings that with an incoming call phone vibrates first before rings? Did not check but perhaps changing that to only ring may help.
Where's that setting exactly ?
(p.s: i dont want to change the whole phone ringing settings I just want to change the way it notifies me when I have incoming waiting phone call)
Go to start/settings/personal/phone.....choose tab phone and change ring type into a setting without vibrate.....
Again did not check myself.....

That doesn't really sound like a solution to me. He wants it to vibrate on a new call but not when he's actually in a call. I can imagine that this is very annoying.
I did a quick search and found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437279 try Valert 1.21 app.
And let us know if this solves the problem.....
Thanks,
yes Pierreken it's very annoying and so embarrasssing
and @Frank Caarls VAlert ruins my volume keys and I dont think that it has something to do with my problem
Pitty.....although one of the features mentioned is "No vibration on waiting call".....
When you read through the messages it indeed creates a problem with HTCvolume control ......Ochakov needs to make an update
You have to decide which is your worst problem.....
Well I have to admit that I missed the "No vibration on waiting call"
LOL now the question is:
Which you need the most
1-Volume keys
2-Disable vibration on waiting calls
Odd, I just tried calling myself whilst already on the phone, All my mega does is beep quietly.
You can turn off Call Waiting notifications by:
Pressing Start > Settings > Personal > Phone > GSM/UMTS Services
Press Call Waiting, and get the settings, simply press "Do not notify me" and OK
How's that ?
What ROM version do you have ?
and your solution will disable call waiting service (I suppose)

Have that setting aswell in my custom Rom with the option "Notify me".....when I get a waiting call my screen lights-up.....but no vibration.....
I did try that option
but when I choose "Do not notify me" and click ok
then to check I click on "get settings" I get "Notify me" option choosen again
im using ROM version 1.28.110.3
when you press Do not notify me, press ok, then press OK to close the settings, go back into the GSM/UMTS settings and get the settings, it should have saved the settings.

settings\sounds & notifications\notifications tab
select Messaging: New text message from the "Event:" drop down menu
uncheck the "Display message on screen" tickbox.
click ok.
go have a beer and chill for a minute or two and voila! it bloody works!
I feel you
I would also like to know if it's possible to turn SMS *receiving* off completely (i.e. so that the phone will "refuse" to accept SMS messages but will continue to receive regular voice calls).
Any suggestion?
Cheers!

You could just call your carrier and tell them to turn off sms on your account.

sure , but then again for voice you have unconditional voice forwarding that you can control yourself, whereas for SMSes you have... nothing!
i guess it would be easy to hack the phone to report something like "memory capacity exceeded" when the network tries to deliver a short message and you don't want to receive any messages, but want to still be able to receive phone calls. that would make the network store your message(s) and try to deliver later. i also guess that would be much easier than waiting for your operator to implement something like "unconditional sms forwarding"

There are plenty of applications that will block SMS's. Photo Contacts Pro, SmartBlock, EasyHelper SMS, etc. A simple search would have turned up a ton of them.
If you go into the phone dialing app and go into options, there is a tab for "services" that is listed in there. It give you a number for the "text message service center" - you might get what you want by changing that to 0 or something. Not sure.
But yea, you should be able to call your carrier and have them turn this off. Since they charge you for incoming texts usually, they should have a way to opt out.

changing the service center no will not prevent your phone receiving short messages, it is only used when you send them.
over here operators don't usually charge for incoming text messages (unless it's from a special service). i remember that on the other side of the atlantic things are quite different

Go to your settings tab, press "menu" in bottom right, then "all settings", this will take you to the WM settings. There you will see "Sounds & Notifications"...the settings you're looking for will be in there.
Thanks, i never thought before to tap where it says incoming call and switch it to new message to change those settings, i was getting so pissed!!!, LOL appreciate it.

Anyone else having this issue? In "Settings - Sound - Under Ringtones and Notifications - Vibrations" I am trying to change it to Heartbeat but everytime I receive any notification it still vibrates as if it were set to Basic Call.

as stupid as this sounds, after you select it, make to hit save at the top.

There isn't a save option. If I go back into settings Heartbeat is still selected. Even after a reboot. So it looks like the setting is selected correctly it just isn't working.
if you go to to phone and go to settings theres an option to select
incoming call popups which will display oncoming call popup when an app is in use.
the phone stock comes with it selected so
i unchecked it so that if im using an app the incoming call popup wont show
but i still get the incoming call taking over the screen..
anyone have any issues with this?

Only thing unchecking the pop-up does is disable the small answer/decline tab that drops down from the notification bar, it then defaults to the stock Android answer screen which I guess is what u are seeing. Otherwise how u gonna know who's calling?
I don't get what you want to accomplish?
do you not want to see who is calling?
yeah i was hoping if i was in the middle of an app it wouldn't take over the entire app maybe like just the top notification bar would light up
How do I turn off the callers name being announced?
When my friend calls me it shouts "incoming call from bla bla!"
I used "my backup pro" to copy phone settings across, has this caused a glitch?
Any help appreciated
Cheers

I have tried
Accessibility > Vision > Talkback > Settings (at bottom) > Under Speech Category - Untick Speak Caller ID
Accessibility - vision - talk back - off
Language and input -notification readout - ALL ARE GREYED OUT but CHECKED???
“using voice commands” (call-call settings -answering/ending calls ) OFF
-
None of these things work
the voice is REALLY loud like 100% volume
Any Ideas
I enabled and disabled car mode too
funny thing was the car mode button was missing until i reset the top icons
Did "my Backup Pro" cause these unusual errors?
There was some glitchey odd numbers and stuff in my sent messages log from my backup pro
I just want to get my phone ringing without announcing at full volume
