Text message alert sound

I have a new LG Revere. When I receive a text message, the phone makes some sort of alert vocal sound. I can set the text message alert ring tone, but how do I turn off that alert vocal sound?

This question, and another regarding a "voice" or "vocal" alert, leads me to believe you have Voice commands enabled. I'm not sure where this is on the Menu system for the Revere - explore Menu, Tools, Sounds, Voice Commands, Alerts - see if there is a setting for those to be toggled on or off. You may also look in your user manual for those keywords to see if there is anything there that will lead to a way to turn these off.
** Update - Page 65 of the user manual has info on the Voice Commands and turning the prompts to Readout/Readout + Alerts/Tones only I think you want tones only....

I can't find the new text message alerts for every person - help!

Hi.
As I frequently check the Apple website, I visited the iOS 4.2 download site. It said that you get custom text tones and 17 new sounds.
So I updated to get the new things. But then I checked Settings to see the new alerts and what they sounded like. But I only found the same old Tri-tone, glass, horn, etc. There were no new ones.
So I checked Phone, but there was no custom text message alert option.
Am I the only one experiencing this problem? I have an 8 month old iPhone 3GS and it works great.
I am also suspecting that it could be an iPhone 4-only deal.Which would be ridiculous because I would be really upset to see that Apple only cares about the people who cash in their hard-earned bucks on every new Apple gizmo they set eyes on.
Please help! Thanks in advance

I understand that it has been answered and has been said that it is for the iPhone 4 only; however, on their website it does not specify that, this is exactly what it states:
"Messaging with text tones
Know who’s texting without looking at your screen. Choose from 17 new alerts and assign custom tones for people in your contact list.
iPhone only."
If I am not mistaken, "iPhone only" includes every iPhone generation to which 4.2 can be installed in, not just the iPhone 4. If it is in case for the 4 only, then they should have specified and not made a misleading advertisement about it since every iPhone user has been waiting for new tones of any sort since the first iPhone ever came out. Making it available for only iPhone 4 users is a very fowl move from Apple since it's such a basic thing to the phone itself. They should address the issue correctly and make it available for the 3G and 3GS.
Apple just asked for angry customers with this one and they definitely know it's not fair.

IPhone 3GS making random text message alerts but no message received

Since yesterday morning my iPhone 3GS (running iOS 4.2) has started randomly making the text message alert noise but no new message has been received. I've also go no other new push notifications which could have been using the same sound either. At the moment it's about 2-3 of these bizare alerts a day with no set pattern of when and where.
Any ideas what could be the problem and how to fix it?
Thanks

This sounds very much like a physical fault inside the phone - short or loose component. You really have no option but to get it looked at under warranty

Set to None.
But this will turn them off for other alerts as well.

Text message alert- turn off or modify

In spite of some other comments on this topic, it is not easy to find how to modify the text message alert in the E71 manual. I have been awakened several times by amber alerts during the night. When I tried to find how to turn off the message alert in the manual, I could not find it. I emailed Nokia and the following (modified a little) is what I received:
To turn off or change text message alert tone:
In response to your concern, we would like to inform you that you can change the message alert tone of your device.
Please refer below for the steps:
1. Select Menu
2. Select Tools
3. Select Profiles and to change the message tone
4. Select current profile if not already selected
5. Select Options
5. Select Personalise
6. Select Message alert tone (page to off or vibrate if preferred)
Problem solved! I hope this helps some of you having the same problem.

I think this is what you are looking for.

The text/email/alerts sound volume has gone right down on my iPhone 4

The text/email/alerts sound volume has gone right down on my iPhone 4, but the ringtone volume is still loud! Adjusting the volume in "Settings" only changes the ringer volume, I just can't find a way to increase the alerts volume! Help please!!!

Hi ecsands,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
To "Choose alert sounds, adjust the alert volume, or turn vibrate on or off: Go to Settings > Sounds."

The only way to do that at this time is to use the mute switch on the side of the phone. You can provide feedback to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.

Bluetooth accessory: how can I use a BT accessory (earpiece/wristband) to get text message alerts?

My wife and I both have iPhone 4S phones, AT&T. She is often in loud/busy places, and misses the sound and vibration for an incoming text. We're looking for a Bluetooth accessory that reliably notifies the user of incoming text messages (either a tone in an earpiece, or a vibration on a wristband). I've seen many earpieces with complaints that SMS/text notifications are missed -- for example, the Jawbone Icon has user feedback saying this feature has problems.
Does anyone have experience and firsthand knowledge they can pass on about which BT devices do this well?
Thank you.

Hi Nara,
You were not able to find enough information for your BT device on ni.com because LV supports mainly the BT devices that are supported by Microsoft. It looks like that D-link DBT-120 is one device that does not have full support.
From what Fandoid said in the BlueTooth Discussion Forum it looks like if you install the MS Q323183 update and then install some BlueTooth Monitor.
I think the development kit he is refering to is located at http://www.blu2i.com/downloads/ (found from Google.com)
You can get the DBT-120 driver from D-Link DB-120 page
I am not very sure why this is happening but would definitely suggest referring to the above discussion forum post and try out the suggestions provided.
I hope this helps,
Ankita

When i am talking on the iPhone and i get a text message how do i keep the text message alert tone from playing in my ear?

This is happening with iOS 7. It worked with iOS 6.

Why does my iPhone 4S delay text message alerts?

Many times, my iPhone 4S will not alert me as soon as I receive a text message.
Even if I received the text message when it was sent, my iPhone will not notify me until I unlock the phone.
Then it perks up -- "Oh yeah, you have a new text message. You received it 2 hours ago."
I have tried researching this issue but I can't find anyone else who has had this same issue.
All of the suggestions I've found have to do with a delay in sending text messages, not in alerting you to new text messages.
Sometimes I will receive text messages a few hours old but that doesn't happen often enough for me to worry about it.
But nothing I've found so far specifically deals with the alerts.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Any ideas how to fix this?
Note that I have tried all the "standard" suggestions: restarting, restoring, etc.
Thanks!

Did you ever find a solution? I have pretty much the same issue. I will receive text messages but not receive an alert. Then anywhere from a few seconds to minutes later my phone will light up and vibrate but there is no notification. I'll unlock my phone and sure enough I have a text message.
Sometimes, I'll receive a text message when the phone is in my hand and unlocked, no vibration, no alert, but there is a badge icon and I'll see that there is a text, read it, and even reply. I'll lock my phone and a few minutes later my phone will light up and vibrate as if I have a text, but there is no notificaion, no badge icon and it will be the alert finally catching up to the text I received minutes earlier. It drives me crazy!
Anyone else?

Text message ALERTS

New to the board so I apologize in advance if this has been asked. Recently upgaraded to the HTC Thunderbolt and the biggest issue I am having is when the phone is on vibrate and then I get a text message. The phone vibrates quickly and subtle. Yes you get the little green flash but...
Is there a way to get it to vibrate more often or to get the screen to flash or light up so it gets your attention quicker while sitting on a desk?
I seem to be missing many texts and finding them way after the fact. Anyone have a solution or recommendation? Never had this issue with my LG Touch as it had options.
Thanks!

Thank you both for responding. I did purchase the app and the vibrate is more noticeable. Still wish it had an option to make the screen light up but it certainly improved it and helped overall. Combining the two apps seems to work okay as well since one has the better vibrate and one has the light/screen notification.
Thanks again!

Caller ID and Text Messaging Alerts

Does anyone know if there is an App. or board where I can suggest one be made that will tell you if you have say an incoming call or text message without displaying the number etc. I've turned off the text message preview feature which still displays the number from where a text came from , likewise for incoming calls. I find this intrusive if I put my phone down anyone can pick it up and view my business even if the phone is locked.
Thanks Everyone!

Since installing iOS 8, why do I receive new text message alerts when I send text messages?

When I send an outgoing text message, I receive a new text notification in the form of a badge on my text message app. Any ideas how to make this stop?
Specs:
iPhone 5s
iOS 8.0.2

Sonds like you guys are sharing the same apple id. Go to settings - message - send and receive and make sure your phone number is the default for both phones.
