Receiving text and email notifications while on call

While I'm on a call, I receive text and email notifications (by a sound and a buzz). Is there a way to shut this off, as it's annoying when there are multiple messages coming through.

Sure; go to settings > sounds and set "new text" and "new VM" to off.
Of course this turns them off ALL the time; your only choice ( I am sure there is a hack for this oversight out there somewhere, though)
This is not a business class smartphone ; its an iPhone.

  • Is there any way to turn off text and email notifications during phone calls?

    The notification is very annoying when I am on a call.  The person I am speaking to can hear when I get a text or email.  Please help!

    It should but I haven't tested all types of alerts yet. If it doesn't you can contact them. I contacted them about 3 weeks ago mentioning that it would be wonderful if they were able to add the mute feature during calls. They responded right away and said they'd work on it. I got an email from them earlier today letting me know about the new update. I have to say, that's what I call service! And I don't see any other App quite like theirs.

  • My ringer is no longer working for text and email notifications. Only working for phone calls. I have gone through all the settings to see where something is off. Not finding anything. I have tried changing the tone and it just vibrates on everything.

    Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

  • My phone will on send and receive text and emails, I can't make or receive calls

    My phone will only send and receive text and emails, I can't make or receive calls. Please help

    Have you tried rebooting the phone?  Also maybe removing and reinstalling the sim card?  Make sure your not in airplane mode or check under settings -- general --cellular and see whats turned on or off.

  • Why can't I set my downloaded .dm ringtones as text and email notifications?

    I have an HTC Incredible 2;  I paid for and downloaded several ringtones from the Verizon store, two of which I wanted to specifically use as the text and email notification sounds.  I then had the already discussed problem of not being able to find the newly downloaded ringtones immediately, but from the postings on here and the Adriod forums, I followed the directions to set up the folders titled Ringtones, Notifications, and Alarms on my sdcard, and moved the downloaded ringtones into their respective folders.  When I opened up the Personalize menu, under Sounds I was immediately able to find the ringtones I'd placed in the ringtone folder, but my phone wouldn't recognize the ringtons I'd placed in the Notifications folder.
    I downloaded the app Zedge, downloaded specific Notification sounds (.mp3, and they work).  I also downloaded .mp3 ringtones and then moved them into the Notifications folders, and THAT worked.  The problem seems to be that these are .dm files?  Is my phone unable to read .dm files as Notification sounds?  Or is there something I missed?  Something else I can do?
    I looked all over for software that will convert .dm files to .mp3, found a suggestion calling for the deletion of a couple of the lines of code from within the .dm file using Notebook ++, but that didn't work.  I don't remember seeing anywhere in the store that these ringtone files come in the protected .dm filetype; that many players will not be able to play them, and that I won't be able to use them for notification sounds?
    Ay one have any suggestions?  Verizon: am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Usually when you purchase ringtones from the Verizon store, you can only use them as ringtones. Since you have a smartphone, an app would be the best bet. You can find almost any song you're looking for in a free ringtone app, there's no need to purchase them.

  • Why am I all of a sudden getting all my text and email notifications in Spanish?  How do I change back to English?  Can't find in profile settings?!

    Why am I all of a sudden getting all my text and email notifications in Spanish?  How do I switch back to English?  I can't find that option in profile or notification settings . . .

        elliew,
    That's a great point! If all other messages and apps on your phone are in English, the preferred language may need to be updated on your account. If this is the case for any of our customers, just reach out to our customer support team at 800-922-0204 or http://vz.to/1vsIHJq .

  • Message and Email notifications during phone calls

    Whenever I am on a phone call and an email is received a very loud notification occurs.  In my settings I have the sound for notifications, media and system off.  When I am not on a phone call I do not have hear anything when an email or text comes in only during an active phone call.  Is there something I am missing?  I did not have this issue since upgrading to Android 4.1.1.

    You might want to check the call settings.
    Press the Phone icon
    Press the Menu button
    Select Call Settings
    There is a setting called "Use extra vol. for calls" which when checked puts a option on the screen during a call to increase the call volume this may be affecting your notifications.
    Try unchecking it and see if that solves your problem.

  • Is there a way to prevent Itunes' volume from lowering when I receive texts and email?

    Whenever I have my iphone connected to a speaker, the volume lowers when I receive a text or email. This can be very frustrating and I'm wondering if there is a setting to prevent this from happening. Can anyone help?

    Put your phone in silent mode, or enable do not disturb.

  • My iphone 4 is not giving me the text and emails it receives while it is powered off

    My Iphone 4 is not giving me the text and emails it receives while it is powered off?

    In theory you should still receive the message once the device is turned back on. The message is sent, then goes via the carriers servers and once a signal is available to your device the message will be delivered. This is the same with iMessages, the message will show as ‘delivered’ once the iPhone has been switched on and is connected to the network. However, from time to time messages may not be delivered. Do you know if this is a singular instance or if it has happened regularly?

  • After upgrading to iOS7 I lost all sound for my 4S except for the ring when someone calls. I can't listen to music, I don't get text or email notifications. I have tried rebooting?

    Following upgrading to iOS7 I lost all sound for my 4s except for the ring when someone calls. I can't listen to music, I don't get text or email notifications. I have tried a wipe and reinstall, I've tried hard rebooting, I tried erasing all of my music and reinstalling it, I checked my Do Not Disturb, and I tried the AssistiveTouch mute button. Nothing. I can't even play music through bluetooth or headphones. Can anyone help please as its driving me mad!

    I experience this problem too. I am using iPhone4 and just upgrade it to iOS7. And now I can not make outgoing call. I checked all the setting, and nothing wrong. I even replaced my sim card with the new one, still can not help.
    I read this link

  • Handset losing call logs, texts and emails

    Hi,
    I have an ongoing problem with my BB and am not getting much sense from my network provider (BT Business).
    Here's a bit off history:
    I started the contract in November 2011 with a Torch 9860.  I had numerous problems with the phone freezing and randomly losing data such as texts, call logs and emails.  In 9 months I've had 5 phones and 1 sim card change, 2 weeks ago BT changed the handset to a Torch 9810.
    The phone has worked fine till Friday when it started doing funny things like randomly receiving texts which were from old conversations.  On saturday afternoon it lost all data by way of texts, call logs and emails that were over 24 hours old and in the last hour has lost everything over 6 hours old.
    I have all calls, texts and emails going into the messages list and have that set to save everything for ever so I can chose when to delete information.
    As I;m a consultant I need my call logs, texts and emails to work out my billing so this really is a pain.
    I really do think this is a network issue rather than the handset.
    Can anyone offer any ideas/solutions before I phone BT in the morning?
    Many thanks x 

    That is a very tiny database size. Go into your camera options and see where your pictures are being saved.
    Something is not right. There is no reason your free memory should be so low with such small database sizes and very few apps installed. You should be pushing 200+ MB of free memory.

  • Different Ringtone Notifications for Text and Email

    I would like to assign different ringtone notifications for texting and email, and if possible, different ringtones for each of my two email accounts.  I need to see texts immediately, but not emails.  Am picking up the phone 50 times a day so I don't miss a text, critical to my work. Could do this on Bb Storm, but can't figure out on Incredible.  At a minimum, I would like to shutoff notification for email, and just get pinged for texts.  Thanks!!

    Well, 
    The default notification tone that you set in the Settings->Sound is for the default tone in the generic e-mail account and all other notifications.  If you use the Gmail client, you can set your own personal ringtone in it's settings (Menu->Settings).  In the messaging Application you can also set a custom notification sound from there as well (Menu->Settings)
    As for different e-mail accounts using the same e-mail application, I don't think that is possible with the in stock app...tho I am not totally sure I haven't use it like that before.
    Hope that helps!
