Is there a way to disable having an audible alert when sending a text message? In Settings/Sounds and Notifications, I only find a way to customize the sound or alert upon receipt of new text message, not sending.

its a reg edit. you will lose the bubble popup aqs well and the sound goes away. its a system sound, much like the system beep on pc's. removing the sound will remove the oem "system sound".

there is a thread on this pro forum describing how to do it.

It's one of the things you can do with Advanced Config:

HTC Touch Pro Speed Hacks and Tweaks

and I believe Phonealarm can turn the notices off too..

You don't need to reg edit anything, or install any useless bloatware.

Open up a new message as if you are going to send one to someone, hit menu in the lower right corner, then Message Options, then untick "request message delivery notification"

My "Message Options" screen doesn't have an option to regarding delivery notification.

Neither does mine. I think you have to reg edit it.

the reg edit is simple and works. thats the method i use

you guys must have done something then, I've used many WM phones, and they have ALL had that option in the menu when drafting a new text.

What options does it give you guys?

Should have turn off notification, priority level, and leave callback number.

Indie,

Keep in mind that you have the Verizon version which is different from the Sprint (and in my case Bell) versions so there are going to be some other minor differences than the memory ones that everyone yacks on about.

shogun may be correct. i have used PPC phones since 2001 with the hitachi G on. the PRO does not have the option in that menu screen. my PRO is stock.

I have the Sprint Touch Pro and mine is stock as well.

My i760 had that option on Verzion, my fathers PPC's, which is more than I've had, have all had that option.

We're talking 10+ different phone models over the last 10 years. It's a default WM option.

If it's not in the first place i described it, then it's in Text message inbox, Select Menu, tools, then options. Accounts tab and then press on text message account in the list, uncheck the box labeled “Request delivery notifications.”

no worries mate... its ok.. calm down! no one is calling you a liar.

just cause you have seen the option in 10+ years does not mean it will still be an option or even in the same place! things change mate!

i know i have seen the option before its just not in either spot you describe.

i just did the last path you posted and i got a blank screen! of course this could be due to the reg edit i have in place...

in any event, if the OP of this post does not find the above path, by all mean try the reg edit.. it works. no bubble popup and no annoying message...

I think the problem is that you're actually talking about two different things. One is the sound alert that the SMS has been sent (the original post). The other is a request/notification that it's been received. The latter is an option I haven't seen a WM phone disable (probably because there may be a charge for the notification). The former is something that some carriers have hidden because they think that we really, really want to know that the message we just sent was actually sent every single bloody time we send one.

So I think you're actually discussing two different features that sound a great deal alike and both happen to be right.
