AFTER receiving a text message, how to turn off sound on Palm Pre

Someone has to help me with this, because I'm at my wits' end! I used to have a Palm Centro, and really, any other phone before my new Palm Pre, goes something like this:
1. You get a notification ring(s) when you receive a new voicemail or text message
2. You press the volume button, hit the screen, etc
3. THE NOTIFICATION RINGS STOP!!!!
Does Palm Pre not have that capability? If I'm texting back and forth with someone, I have to listen to the WHOLE THING EVERY TIME? Tell me that Palm has thought of a way to fix this, because it's driving me batty. It's the only thing I completely hate about this phone, and I can't find anyone here that has had the same issue...
How do I make the ringing stop?????

I don't know about anyone else, I get the notification for everything that happens: for IM's, texts, when I charge the battery, when I'm low in battery, etc. The issue that I have, and that I hope someone has the solution, is that from my old Palm Centro, and really, every phone I've ever owned, there was something I could press that would stop the notification! Nothing stops the notification though! and it's a good 30 seconds... Which is not a big deal when it's one text message, but when it's 4 texts messages going, it never stops!

    debrafromusa,
    This would be an extremely bad idea, the start up tone is there for a reason. It tells you when your system is attempting to  boot, it is also necessary in the even resets like a PRAM reset are done. There is software to mask the sound however as stated it is a very poor idea.
    Also, why turn it off. Why not simply put the display to sleep when the machine is not in use. You can easily do that in System Preferences - Energy Saver

  • How to turn off sound in twitter app when I scroll down?

    I know there must be an easy way to do this, but I can't find it. I have twitter notification sounds turned off, which is what I want. Inside the twitter app, though, when I scroll down to see new tweets, I get a sort of suck-then-pop sound. I don't need that sound and would like to turn it off, as it irritates my spouse if she's nearby while I'm checking twitter.
    Phone is iPhone 5, iOS 8.1.3

    Depends if the window has a separate volume control or not.  You can have multiple QuickTime movies running with the sound muted in some but not others - just slide the volume all the way down in the ones you don't want to hear.
    Other than that, I don't know of a way.

  • How to turn off sound Ipaq mini when charging

    I still kepp My Ipaq mini on , then I turn off screen only. Plugin charge . But later , It make noisy short sound , and repeat all time un till i disconect charge  . Even I Power off , I paq automatic on again and sounding while charging . I don;t want to minimum sound from setting. But I want to disable that sound . Someone help?

    I have to agree this is the most annoying thing about the iPhone.  The chirp when it charges.  I had a situation the other night where my phone was on analog roam (uses a lot of power) and ever couple of minutes it would chirp (assume it was because it found a network, charged, and then went analog and discharged and the cycle repeated!!).
    The phone was next to my bed since I use it as an alarm clock.  Basically using the mute switch toatally makes the iPhone usesless as an alarm clock which is why it was next to my bed!  Apple seriously needs to fix this issue.
    Dear Apple, please make the battery notification sound user selectable.  Thanks.

  • Can't turn off Backup on Palm Pre !

    I really don't want this Backup function on my phone ! When I disable it, I just get a spinning circle ... that's it ... nothing is happening !
    any tips ?

    Hello and welcome to the forums;
    Have you tried restarting your device after turning off backup? How about closing the Backup card and re-opening to see if it did turn off? In some lower coverage areas, the change won't reflect until after a card cycle.
    Upon looking at your device information, it looks like your backup is currently disabled.
    Hope this helps,

  • HT1476 how to turn off sound while iPhone is charging?

    The chirp noise is totally annoying.
    I leave unread mail in my inbox and so that may be why?
    Anyway, it makes more noise than any device I've ever owned, and I'm sure there's a setting I can't see to turn it off.
    But how?

  • How to turn off sound notification?

    As in subject. When I first time logged in Skype asked me if I want to have notification I clicked yes. But now I am kept being spammed with sound 'blips' of incomming messages. I tried to locate any form of settings, so far I only learnt that proifle can be updated. Am I missing something? Or perhaps beta web client is in early beta.

    Thanks for that - had been looking under the Sounds Settings!

  • I downloaded the new iOS 6 for my iphone 4.  I have 2 iphones on my account and after the "upgrade" text messages go to both phones.  When I send a text to my wife I recieve the same text and vise versa.  How can I fix this?

    "Sounds like you guys are using the same apple id for imessage.   You will need to create a separate id for you wife.  OR go to settings - message - receive&send and make sure your phone number is the default for both you and yoru wife.
