I am not responsible for malfunctions your phone may have from this. I am having no problems what so ever from it. This can be completely reversed after you do it.
(This may or may not work for other versions of the Touch Pro. I only have a Sprint one to try it on. Some phones, like Verizon, you are able to remove this annoying sound without having to do this mod.)
Ever find it really annoying when you are on the phone with someone and you get a incoming text message and your phone makes a really loud and annoying sound 3 times in a row to the point where you can't even hear your caller?
Here is how to disable that.

This will include Total Commander v2.5, a modified version of the "notify.wma" file which is basically silence, and a backup original version of the "notify.wma" in case you want to undo this mod.
Now, heres how you do it.
1. Open the .zip and put the tcmdpocketarm.cab (Total Commander) and the notify.wma files on your storage card.
2. Locate and Install tcmdpocketarm.cab (Total Commander)
3. Go to Start > Programs > Total Commander
4. Locate notify.wma files on your storage card, select and hold and click copy
5. Locate your "Windows" folder then tap and hold to paste.
This should overwrite your notify.wma file on your phone. When you get a phone call and receive a text message you will no longer hear the annoying loud sound.
Please let me know how this worked for everyone.
Thanks!

Why not edit it in the registy instead?
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
CONTROL PANEL
SOUNDS
INCALLBUZZ
Change Script so value is blank so DELETE P
or even delete the sound files name
Save wait a few minutes restart phone
Or you could even change it to a new sound that isnt so loud or annoying maybe something with one beep so you do know you have a text I find this feature useful
Both methods are sound. No pun intended.
I've used the same method RJM described already.

Well if your into making your phone your own and personalizing it then the registry should be your new best friend. Thats where all changes get saved
sometimes its the only place you can adjust a setting you want

Yeah, I understand that. IDK i just worried I will mess something up. Althou, i am going to try to ***** to sprint and get a new phone anyways cuz my screen likes to turn off on me WHILE im typing on it. Also randomly turns on. Only prob it dont do it enough for me to really prove it. I may have some tricks up my sleeves thou for that. Also I have a charging prob while talking on the phone.

You don't have to prove it. If your within your 30 days then it's no questions asked. After 30 days it may take a bit more but definitely NOT impossible. I made them take back my Instinct after 3 months and got a Pro to replace it.

Shooot man really you got them to trade an instinct in for a TP? DAMN! I canceled my instinct paid 200 ETF and bought a TP... I also got rid of my instinct at the 3 month point. That thing was cool at 1st then sucked.

Thank you,
can you or someone modify the original file to make it softer? or upload any other good replacement file?
Also make sure that you aren't pressing the power button while you are typing that would do it too.

Is there a way to determine what specifically caused a reboot or maybe the state of the phone right before a reboot? I'd like to find out what exactly is causing my phone to randomly reboot. If I could pinpoint an app that is causing the problem... problem solved!
Does a "reboot analyzer" type app exist?
Yes. Try alogcat in the market. Logcat can run in the background so it will catch what's causing reboot. If you don't know how to read a logcat theres a logcat reader in the market or just post the text file and someone could read it for you. It doesn't kill battery faster than any other app or nothing like that so don't be worried, just let it run.
Its not just a reboot analyzer it will tell you everything thats going wrong with your device etc. You should take some time to learn how to read it. Pretty neat..
Edit: I had some force closes with alogcat so download catlog it works great!
Thanks for the alogcat recommendation. You're right, I definitely need help reading it. What is the best way to learn what the logcat means? Right now, it's completely greek to me and I actually have a programming background (vba, c++, fortran).

Use catlog it will help you read it. Try opening catlog then turning your phone in landscape to get a feel of how it works!

Try searching around or visiting the android homepage for devs. Lots you can learn there.
Hi there, a long time reader of this forum. First time posting and grateful for any advice please?
Will keep it brief, Galaxy S3, phone works but black screen. Cannot see or do anything with it but can hear it working and see notification light etc. About to send it in to be repaired by Three UK. They have advised me it will be reset and lose all data. I obviously don't want that to happen but I've been either too (a) stupid or (b) lazy to back up before, take your pick which one.
Question is, is there any way I can back up now without being able to work the screen? Can I view the screen and control the phone on the PC somehow? I've searched other threads and found a mention of androidscreencast but it seems that is for rooted phones only? Mine is standard stock Three UK firmware, never been touched etc.
Any advice or help is greatly appreciated folks, thank you.
Teamviewer quicksupport. You'll have to kind of guess the location of the notification and the app etc though. I know there's yhe adb backup option if you wish to try it.
Lemme add to this when I get home. Will try figure out whereabouts you need to touch to get the app set up. Don't try downloading it yet.
[Edit] tried it and it won't work. Too much typing and sharing code involved to see it work properly. I guess you have the adb option left.

I'm gonna be blunt here. My new GF spam texts me all the time and it's driving me insane.
There use to be a way to do this but I don't see a option in settings anymore..
She will text me 10 times in one minute with one or two word phrases and I'm at the point of losing my mind. I'm so tired of my phone going ape **** over it while I'm at work.
My question is simple....
How do I stop getting new notification till I check/clear the original one?
IE; She sends me a text, I get notified. Then ALL following text/notifications are MUTED till I check/clear the first one.
This use to be a option in settings a long time ago but I no longer see it.
There has got to be away. I am open to buying/using whatever app (legal or not) to end this nightmare.
And yes, I have brought this up to her but she doesnt see it as an issue and it just starts a fight about how I don't care about her. I do care, but I want to keep my sanity too.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
I have a stock VZW Galaxy S10 Plus purchased from Verizon, after an update to may Android security I noticed close to all my apps now had permissions to modify system, as well as many switches "Greyed out" and certain functions trying to force me to use WiFi. I have been dealing with it for over a month, in recovery the text at the top is displayed 2 times. And at the bottom it says Missing 2fs file... I have factory reset the phone more times than I can count, and with a root folder spy app I am able to see some folder that I am pretty sure should not be in a stock rom. (Lazy script) ... it was showing enterprise billing , and other things....
Things changed after using Verizon sw app connect to my PC. But I am sure the problem is still there.
T
I know **""this is not Possible """** is the standard response. Verizon was no help, Samsung sent me to **UBreak I fix** nothing changed. And the last option was to send it in to Samsung..... I want to know what/how it happened. I always have my phone with me. I am happy to share any screen captures, and I'm trying to post some screen recordings of me scrolling through the folders on my phone. I also have trace logs. But not even sure how to read it.
This is wrecking my life . More that the Covid shut down. .....
I want to find out how it was done, just replacing the phone will not satisfy me anymore.......
Oh, I also have 2 Sledge, And 2. Snote3.... that now look like they have problems......
I know this is the place to find the answer. Help me get to the. *Root * of the problem??? Lol.... please.
