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

No SMS Notification WM6.1 Workaround

To those who disabled the Conversation Style in WM6.1
i.e. those who edited their registry to SMSAvailable = 0
some drawback of it is the loss of alert of incoming SMS.
install third party software.
my suggestion is
Electric Pocket Ringo
it's a commercial software.
i never suffered from lacking SMS alert.

I have no 3rd party alert software and I have never suffered from a missed SMS alert either. I guess it all depends on which ROM you have installed.

sorry, i forgot the cause....
i was talking about those who disabled the chat-like style of SMS... via registry entry SMSAvailable = 0
it sometimes disables the alert for incoming SMSs..
will update my post.

chat-like style rules!!
i like the chat-like style. it reduces and narrows down all ur messages in a conversation with the same person, so u don't have to scroll down further to look for message/s sent by the same person. well yeah u have to scroll thru the entire conversation if u wanna look for specific details, but its alot easier, i guess?

Check this previous post of mine, it seems to have helped the member that I replied to quite well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1987977&postcount=156

this is how to disable thread mode without lose notification
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM\SMSInbo xThreadingDisabled=1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMs g=0

Now that would be the FIX not the workaround...
and since it's FIXed you dont have to follow my suggestion. haha...
ok... another one bites the dust... and that's me
happy developing!

hi,
i get some missed sms alerts - not always - maybe 50% of time - but ive not altered any reg settings :/ any ideas?
thanks

This needs to be stickied - it's fixed the problem for me!
Might be worthwhile releasing it as a CAB file for those unwilling to edit the registry themselves?
PS: This problem also occurs in the Shadow 2.1 ROM after disabling threaded messaging

Goto
Start->
Settings->
Sounds & Notifications->
Notification TAB->
Select ... Event:Messaging: New text message on DROPDOWN->
Uncheck "Display message on screen"
-SS-

Solution found!
All these hints did not work for me!
Now i have found a solution: you just need to install "InboxTones" from qorefunctions.com.
In this application you can choose a notification-tone. After you have done this, everything works fine!

automatic Screen ON disabling

may be somebody can help me in one question.
i need to disable automatic screen ON on all events. ( include incoming call, SMS and organiser events).
i want to turn screen ON only with power button in all case.
it`s real?

i`m invisible ? or nobody can not help me&

I think to disable automatic screen on for incoming calls is not possible, but it is possible for incoming sms or organizer events. Under "settings" and "sounds&notifications" you have to choose the event. There you can disable "Display message on screen".

I found 11 messages sitting there waiting to be listened to, some of which were very important!!!

Go into Sound & display in manilla. Click on Notification sounds & then select Voicemail on (this is disabled by default). Then go into All Settings > Sounds & notifications > Notifications in Winmo & select a sound for Voicemail. Hope this helps.

Yeah that is on and only gives a one off sound but what about an icon on the task bar??? If I dont here the sound then I have no idea that I have a voicemail!! lol

I get a missed call icon on mine & also have set up with Vodafone to receive a text message. I am using Brians Taskbar. Are you using the stock taskbar?

Missed call icon doesnt tell you there is a voicemail though does it?
I'm using Brians too but only as of today, so I get nothing on that or on the stock taskbar.

Just checked and I too had voicemails waiting, where is the symbol on the taskbar?!

Yeah exactly!! Yet another bloody 'bug' for us poor HD2 users lol

Not quite the same as a taskbar icon... but in all settings > sounds and notification, there's a "display message on screen" option for voicemail

I don't know if the notification system for orange and vodefone is the same as o2, but when i call my o2 voicemail there is a setting for notification types. ONe to send you text, one to call you back and the last one is to send a voicemail notification to the phone.
The last option is what enables the voicemail icon in the taskbar.

I can get the notification with the LED but it keeps blinking after listening to the voicemail (when the message has been leaved with the HD2 turned off only). That's really annoying.

It's better than nothing if it stays on the screen until you close it or listen to the message?!

No idea, haven't tried it but I assume it stays on until you dismiss it.

Same problem here with the standard taskbar.Taskbar Icon is missing. Im getting stupid texts such as >@ or [email protected] I wondered what they meant untill I check my voicemail and found 2 messages.

LED Notification
Mate this is a feature!
How did you get it to work without realising?

Sorry i haven't understood.

does anyone have a solution to this?
ive been using my HD2 for about a week now and never realized this either (Im on Rogers network in Canada)
I just did a test by leaving a voicemail:
I get a missed call notification
a SMS about the voicemail
but NO VOICEMAIL icon! (usually looksl like the little tape)
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I've been into the "Sounds and notifications" menu and checked "Phone: Voicemail" and checked off "Display message on screen"
but still no icon on the taskbar?
Anyone know?

I've not found anything yet mate
At least you get a SMS notification!

I've just read through these and I'm thinking you are after the same thing I am. But just to be sure, I'm going to reword what you are looking for. Because what I am looking for (since I also get the missed call, and the voicemail text) is the option to simply tap the voicemail icon and have it dial into my voicemail automatically like I used to be able to do with my htc tytnII. For now I have to go to my phone screen and press and hold one, which I find a pain as some times I don't have time to check my messages right that moment, but I hate turning off the phone with the missed call and voicemail text still there, so I get rid of those, and then forget to check voicemail later. Are you guys talking about the same thing? And has anyone yet found a solution if so?

No that is not it!
We do not get a Voicemail icon so do not know that we have a voicemail!!

Vibrate not working

My vibrate for texts is not working, it is for calls though...
The phone is rooted, vibration intensity is up and vibrate is checked in text message settings...
Should i factory reset the phone and what data will i lose if i do?
Thanks in advance!

Mine isn't working either with the same settings.

yeah wtf... are you rooted?
and also does yours vibrate a little when you get a message almost like your touching one of the capacitive buttons?

Not rooted and I did a factory reset this morning so that wouldn't solve your issue. Right before I posted my previous comment I received a text message and didn't notice any sort of vibration.
At first I thought the vibration was too low and I couldn't feel it when the phone was in my pocket but I guess it isn't vibrating at all for text messages.

Has anyone discovered a way to make the phone vibrate when receiving a text message with the phone ringer set to vibrate?

I think that is under the settings of your SMS program. press menu when you are in your SMS inbox

Did you guys put on RyanZA's lagfix by any chance?
