Go to your messages, press menu, go to settings and customise your sent message settings and notifications.

If you're not using the stock messaging app, make sure whatever app you are using isn't conflicting with the stock one. Eg. Totally disable the one you aren't using.

Hey Everyone,

Hoping somone can help. I too am having issues with the sent message notification tone. I actually want the tone to sound when I send a message, but I don't want the notification to pop up on the notification bar. It seems that the option is there to do it in the options section, but whenever I untick the option to 'show the notification in the status bar', but keep the box ticked beside 'play notification sound', i get nothing. The sound only works when both boxes are ticked.

Unlike the mail option, which greys out the option to play the sound unless you have the notification bar option ticked, when i untick the 'display notification in the status bar' option for sent message notification, the option to play the sound is not greyed out. This leads me to believe that you can indeed have the sound without the visual notification, but I can't seem to get it to work.

Anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it?

Cheers.

Don't think there is a fix unfortunately - I had a similar issue in that I want it set up so that I don't see the first part of a text message in the notification bar but I do want an audible notification. It seems that you can't have one without the other, at least for text messages.
