Help Don't play notification sound while on a call??

notification of what? SMS/MMS? the only way is through a third-party text messaging app, i use handcent.


It didn't work for me at first (Handcent). But I tinkered with it a bunch some more today (tried Chomp, too). Here's what worked:

Go into Notifications Settings in Handcent. Set it to not play sound during phone call.

Go into stock SMS program. Turn off all notifications.

From home screen, tap the Messaging icon. It will ask which program to use. Hit the button to always use this action, and select Handcent.

Works fine now! Just a quick vibrate when I get a new text while on the phone. (I selected the vibrate while on call option.)
