Hello,

I would like to know if there is a way to disable the sound of the ringtone and the sms beep at the start of an incoming call or incoming sms ?

I already tried to mute the sound for the ringtone but it still plays a little before I can shut it down.

And for sms I don't know at all how to cut the beep.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Bernie

Write a recog which will catch every SMS. Then you gave it to the 'normal' handler... You dont' wanne hear a Beep! You should take a  look at the SMS code example by Nokia.
The same will be possible for normal calls, but it's quite more difficult to handle calls, cause the headers and lib's are not public (like EtelMM) and the phones differ in handling (some working with etelmm, some with etelA & Bgsm, most use both). This solution may be 'overdressed', but i'm sure it will work.

P.S.: Why you shouldn't switch to silent profile for calls?

Sure, catch the call (quite tricky, but the phone didn't start to play the sound) and then play some sound of your own. So you have only a server, that wait for incoming calls in background... But it seems to be not easy, cause i've a little bit trouble with the prios and so the recorder would'nt start  Undecided. But i'm sure i'll solve this prob. I know (of other commercial prgrms) it is possible.

Hi,

CG, I tried the Series_60_Platform_1st_2nd_Edition_SMS_Example_v1_0.zip, and when I launch the application, and I receive a sms, there is always the beep. The application doesn't disable the beep.

What do mean by "you gave it to the 'normal' handler" ?

Thank you very much,

Bernie

In the example is a point to 'remove' SMS (in documentation you will be warned, cause every SMS in this time (during running the prgrm)) and i'm sure that i don't have heared a beep by activation of this point...
With normal handler i meant, that you store the SMS in inbox (like default behaviour). If i'm right (i've looked at the example a few month ago) there is some kind of handling if it's a message of yours (catched by the recog caused by a keytag at beginning) or none (so it will be go to inbox ('normal handling')).

Hope this will help;
