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….
The
problem with this is that it would turn off both the sound (which I didn't want) AND the mail / envelope icon (which I do want). So how did I work
around this so I could still see the icon yet not have some annoying
notification ringtone, sound, bell whatever ? Easy… just do this
-First,
if you unchecked the notification box I mentioned above, go back and RE-check
it. Make sure the check mark is back.
-Then
from the home screen of your phone… press the menu button (in lower left corner
of phone)
- Press Settings
- Press “My Device” located at the very top of the
screen
- Press “Sound”
- Press “Notifications”
- Then find ‘Silent’ and activate the radio button
for that by pressing ‘Silent’
- The Press ‘OK’ and you are all done and ready to
go
I hope that helped you to Turn off Text Message Arrived Notification Sound but Keep Icon on Samsung Galaxy S4
