How do I get the 4s to stop beeping texts in my ear when I am on the phone, while still notifying me of texts when I am off the phone

I have alert/notification sounds set up to beep when I receive a text message. 
Sometimes I will be talking on the phone...with the phone to my ear, and I will get a text message(s) from someone at the same time, and even though I have the phone to my ear, it still beeps out loud.  As far as I can tell, it is at the same volume as when I don't have it next to my ear.
It hurts my ear, and also the person I am talking to can hear the beeping.  I can't hear what the person on the phone is saying to me while it is beeping. 
I also have the sound set up to beep a second time if I don't read the text.  When I have the phone to my ear and I am trying to talk, it beeps in my ear for the first alert...and then it beeps in my ear for the second reminder alert that reminds me that I still haven't read the text.  Again, I can't hear the person I am talking to while all the beeping is happening.
Is there a way to set the phone so that it will still beep when I get a text message (when the phone is not to my ear), but it will only vibrate or play a very low sound or something if I have the phone to my ear?  Kind of like caller ID on a landline will play a "no sound/pause" when a call is coming in while you are on the phone.
Thanks!

Hi kvpoteet
As the iPhone remembers the original appleID, prior to you changing it, to change the appleID that your iPhone remembers go to settings>itunes and app store>appleID>sign out, then sign back in with the correct, updated details

  • How can I get my iphone to stop losing the signal?

    How can I get my iphone to stop losing the signal?

    Thanks for the tip.  If only I could find somewhere where I did not lose the signal.
    I am based in the United Kingdom. The carrier is Orange.
    I lose the signal inside buildings and outside of buildings.  It happens at work and at home.  It happens in Centarl London in the open air and inside.  It happens in small towns.. It happens in the countryside.  It happens in motor cars.  It happens in airports.  It happens when the battery is fully charged, when it is half charged and when it's low on charge.  It happens using the phone, when reading messages and when using the internet.
    Hope this helps.

    Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications.  I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone.  I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups.  I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either.  Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.

  • I tried to encrypt using file vault but it froze slowing my macbook pro, how can i get things moving or stop the encryption

    i tried to encrypt using file vault but it froze slowing my macbook pro, how can i get things moving or stop the encryption

    Back up all data before proceeding. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Disk Utility.
    In the Disk Utility window, select the icon of the startup volume from the list on the left. It will be nested below another disk icon, usually with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar. When prompted, enter the login password of a user authorized to unlock the volume, or the alternate decryption key that was generated when you activated FileVault.
    Then, from the menu bar, select
              File ▹ Turn Off Encryption
    Enter the password again.
    You can then restart as usual, if the system is working. Decryption will be completed in the background. It may take several hours, and during that time performance will be reduced.
    If you can't turn off encryption in Disk Utility because the menu item is grayed out, you'll have to erase the volume and then restore the data from a backup. Select the Erase tab, and then select
              Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    from the Format menu.
    You can then quit to be returned to the main Recovery screen. Follow these instructions if you back up with Time Machine. If you use other backup software, follow its developer's instructions.
    Don't erase the volume unless you have at least two complete, independent backups. One is not enough to be safe.

    When the prompt pops up next time you start iPhoto select Learn more. Then click on iPhoto preferences and select the Accounts tab. Delete your MM account and the quit iPhoto. Next time you open iPhoto the problem should be eliminated.

  • HT4436 For the past two weeks, every time I start up my computer I'm asked for an iCloud login. I've never used iCloud and I'm not likely to. How do I get this login to stop automatically showing up?

    For the past two weeks, every time I start up my computer I'm asked for an iCloud login. I've never used iCloud and I'm not likely to. How do I get this login to stop automatically showing up? I'm using an iMac G5 with OS 10.9.4.

    One more quick thing first. Hold the SHIFT key this time as you startup and see if that gets you any further (this is called 'Safe Mode' by the way). I'm not too confident that this will work in your case but it's worth a try. If it boots up, go into Disk Utility and repair permissions.
    If it doesn't, you're going to have to do an Archive & Install which will install a fresh copy of the OS over the top BUT keep all your users, files and apps in place.

  • How do i get my computer to stop making a fan noise

    how do i get my computer to stop making a fan noise?

    Is the computer hot? If so then do this:
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    If the computer is not hot, then try resetting the SMC - Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC).
    Finally, try running diagnostics:
    Using Apple Hardware Test
    OS X Mountain Lion- Use Apple Hardware Test
    Intel-based Macs- Using Apple Hardware Test

  • How do i get my computer to stop instantly recognizing my iphone???

    okay so my sister and i have two separate iphones and recently found out that her computer is recognizing it as the same one, so we are running out of storage space very quickly. how do i get my phone off of it or how do i get her computer to stop recognizing my phone as that account? please help

    Well that's the thing, it's not that... We set it up when I got my phone to sync with her account so I could get her music, but now I want my own because it's combining our space that's being used. I could tell because it says there are 1007 photos on that phone when that's our photos combined. I just want my own phone to recognize so it's not using up my storage.

  • How do I get my apps to stop saying waiting

    How do I get my apps to stop saying waiting

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.
    Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.
     Cheers, Tom

  • How do I get my Shuffle to stop syncing???

    When I plug in my shuffle, it automatically syncs with Itunes. I don't want it to do that - I want to choose which songs go on the shuffle, and I want to keep some off. All the directions in the Help section refer to tabs I don't have on my Itunes, like "Summary" and "Music." How do I get my shuffle to stop syncing with itunes??

    iTunes actually performs a consistency check between the shuffle's contents and iTunes library... tracks not in the library are deletde from the shuffle. NO tracks are automatically added. YOu do that by selecting "autofill" and a target source... OR drag and drop music from the iTunes library ("Music")
    Have you actually ever read the manual?
