Every
time I get a text message I typically have my phone set to show the message
arrived icon on my cell phone’s status bar and it also vibrates when I get new
texts. I just got a new Samsung Galaxy 4 and noticed that in addition to the
vibrate and new message icon (that little envelope at the top of the screen
that appears in the status bar) I was also getting a notification sound ( a
ring / beep etc ) when new text messages arrived
While
in the text message mode I was able to turn off the sound in settings by doing
this …….press text message icon, press menu button on phone in lower left
corner, settings, scroll down to notification settings – Uncheck “Notifications
make sounds and show icon status bar when you receive new text messages….
