Something very annoying is starting to happen on my HTC Desire, when i am on the phone if i receive an SMS the ringtone plays full blast & i am unable to hear the person i am talking to for the 5 seconds the ringtone last. Is it possible to stop the SMS ringtone going off when i am making a phone call??

Also another problem i have had recently, sometimes i am unable to make calls, i go the the contacts touch the person i want to ring but it won't dial, not sure if i need to do a restore of the phone as this keeps happening a lot lately - any again any ideas please help??
 
Have a look through the sound options on the phone.
I know with some ROMs there are options to play other sounds through speakers when using heaphones etc to me it sounds like there might be a play notifications in calls setting that's been added by an update and enabled by default.
Can't tell you if that's the case or not as I don't run a stock Desire but that's what it sounds like to me.
Hope that helps.

I use Gosms Pro and it has a setting called " Notifications on calls " which you can set to automatically turn off notifications and vibrate for incoming messages while on a call. I used Handcent prior to this and it also had the same setting.....I am not sure if the default sms program has these setting as i never use it.....
