This is my second GS, and I never paid attention to it the first time, but now I am getting annoyed with it. Every time I receive a Text the phone plays 2 sounds as the alert. I've tried changing the notification sound, but it still plays the default sound plus my selected sound. So it plays the selected sound first, then the default chime right after.
Anyone knows how to make it stop doing this?
Are you using a 3rd party text app like Handcent or Chomp? If so you need to turn off notifications in the stock sms app.
No,
I'm using stock msg program.
I have this problem too. I only use the default messaging. I used to have hand scent but I deleted it and I still have this problem. Also I get two notifications on my bar and one of them stays there even after I read the text. Annoying!

How to i stop my phone from repeating vocally each message I receive, using obsidian 4.2 with launcher pro. Thanks
I assume you are refering to text.messaging...
Are you using a third party messaging app and getting doubke notifications? If so go into the stock messaging app and disable notifications. Your post is kind of vague, but this may solve your problem.
EDIT: just re-read your post. If it its the volume you are concerned with just turn the notification volume down.

I did mean text message and do not want people to hear my text messages. I would like to disable this function. The function being when I get a text message it tells the world vocally what the contents of the text message is. thanks
Does anyone know of a way to turn off the notification sound when a text arrives? I don't mean the Text Messaging app notification, that's already off so there shouldn't be any sound but everytime I receive a text I still get a sound and vibrate which is coming from Settings > Sound Settings > Notification Ringtone (not the Text Messaging app settings).
If I use a 3rd party app (e.g. GoSMS) for texts I get double notifications, even when I turn off notifications for the stock messaging app. If I turn off the notification sound in Settings > Sound I don't get any sound at all.
Any ideas anyone? Hope you know what I mean, sorry if I haven't explained very well.
Grab and use the App "Simple sound profile widget" from the market.
That is one of my all time favorite Android apps ever! (plus its easy to use and free)
Hopefully that should help you out. If not, it's still a must have App anyway...

Thanks for coming to my assistance (again!) ccrows
I tried that app but unfortunately it didn't solve my problem, but really glad you mentioned it, it's definitely a really useful app to have.
It seems the stock android sound/vibrate notification is activated for any alert, in addition to whatever alert the individual app (i.e. text messaging/goSMS/email) uses, and I'm unable to separate them. I either have no notifications or two notifications
Is everyone else's phone the same? When you get a text message do you get two notifications (but not two messages)?
Many thanks
[EDIT] Problem solved, I feel like such an idiot! Every time I send/receive a text my carrier sends me a message with an update of my monthly allowance. I turned that off via their website and now no more double notifications. It was their message that was triggering the extra notification at the same time as the text messages.
I was hoping that someone could show me an app that will allow me to set a custom ringtone and a custom SMS ringtones. The MoPho doesn't have the ability to set a certain ringtone to one person and it uses the same notification sound for everything else. I was also hoping that I could get an app or mod that will allow me to customize the vibrating patterns for calls, emails, and texts. Does an app like this exist?
u can do seperate ringtones for all contacts by going into contacts pull up menu of yone of ir contacts then go into options, there it will ask what ringer u want.

to download many unique tones and ringers try zedge app in market
To set a song or tone as a ringer believe u can go to music library and long press and has option to set
Also i used astro file manager go to folder where tones and music are and u can set a tone

Look for an app called "Lightflow" its a root app that should do exactly what your speaking about, lets you choose specific color for led, change vibrate settings, and ringtone settings for email, sms ,calls, etc. If your not rooted then not sure what to tell you, but if you are id def try out lightflow, ive been using it for a awhile now and i love it. Overall its pretty damn customizable for all the settings, especially the vibrate settings.

Is that it?
I'm not sure what the Bump policy is here...
Yeah thats the app i was talking about, it looks like a new update version, apparently mine just hasn't updated recently is all, but yeah thats it. Sorry for the long response time on my end
It slightly worries me cause it is constantly gaining permissions all the time. Is it safe?

Ive only had it come up requesting SU while on boot and if i change settings(i just hit the check to always allow). I can personally say i have had no issues with it, ive got a facebook, gmail, and few email accounts linked to it and it hasn't messed with those as far as ive ever noticed, and Ive used lightflow for about a month or two so far. Your call on it, if you don't feel its safe or what you want then dont load it up. To each his own!
Is there a way to disable the screen from turning on when a notification is received? When I go to pull the note out I'm either hitting random keys on a text or dialing something. Is there a way to stop that?

First things first..I assume you are sending a recieving text messages, so here is my question. What app do you use for texting handcent or go sms....
for example I use handcent ass my messaging app so in the settings of handcent this is how you disable the screen on when you receive a notification.
Setting>Notification settings>Notificaton Settings (again) >scroll down and a box will be there were you can turn on/off the screen when you receive a message using the pop up option.
Idk if this helped but.. if anything let me know what apps your using or the version of android your running. The more info you post the more we can help you. Thanks
