Hi everyone, i'm really desperate for help.

i've spent about three hours trying to fix a singular problem.

I am using a pearl 8100 on at&t's gophone service, which is working great for using it as a phone and txting.

i have made all notifications on the phone so that it is at vibrate ONLY, but the 0.00 notification ALWAYS MAKES A SOUND, no matter what.

I will do anything to get rid of this hellish sound because it is driving me crazy.
I don't even care if i still have the notification and it vibrates, i just want to be able to txt in places where i am supposed to be quiet.

i can't be quiet when the phone erupts with a ding-DING! sound every txt.

if the only way to do this is to reinstall os, delete ALL ringtones, is it possible to get another vibrating ringtone? because i never even use ringtones, only vibrate mode with the pearl. I tried doing this, but i just messed up my phone, (I had followed the optimize your BB tutorial, and lost the messages icon, didn't have themes, and got error messages).

i would appreciate any help SOOO much.

thanks!

Are you sure that you made the modifications to the active profile (Norma) if you are sure the settings are correct try a hard reset (Battery pull while the device is on and not in sleep mode). If that fails what happens when you select the Vibrate or Quiet profiles?

E-

i have a custom profile as active, set EVERYTHING to mute. im going to try a battery pull right now.

yep-did battery pull-still makes a sound.

i don't even know what sound it is, its not any of the selected ringtones for the profiles (i listened to each one) it still does it on vibrate and quiet profiles

its some retarded gophone sound, and i will do ANYTHING To get rid of it.

thanks for your help, more would be appreciated!

What happens when you select the native "Quiet" profile? Does it still make a sound?

it still does it. i can't turn it off and its been killing me. :(

Ok, so let's try a test with the Normal Profile.

Goto Profiles>Advanced>Highlight normal and Menu>Edit
Select SMS Text

Out of Holster: (Change it to NONE) Press Menu>Save.

Now select the normal profile and test.

the thing is-this isn't a notification for the sms.

it is a notification after anything, a call, a txt, etc-showing my balance of the prepaid card after sending/receiving that txt.

i get vibrate for vibrate on sms, ring for ring on sms, quiet for quiet on sms.

i just get this sound for the notification.

and no-normal profile doesn't work :(

Ok, maybe we need to backup then. Sorry if I am having a difficult time understanding the issue. What is the "0.00 notification"?

E-

when you are out of money i am guessing on a prepaid phone?

Wirelessly posted (Pearl 8130 AllTel)

From a prepaid phone. Its showing the deduction for every text. Its a GoPhone alert.

Is it considered a browser message by chance????

Yea, I had thought those were types of SMS messages in the past (like a voicemail notification is SMS), but if you say they are not, then they are not.

Perhaps they just can't be edited... something to be aware of when using a go-phone service...

ugh-no-there has to be a way to make a phone silent.

the 0.00 notification is a notification i receive after each txt sent. i have a txting package, 1000 for 10 bucks, but it still sends me a notification after each txt.

on my razr, i was able to make it just vibrate.

will removing all preloaded ringtones make it go away?

thank you so much for the help by the way.

bump-still desperate.

please help!

I dont think you can delete pre-loaded ringtones. . .

If you open any Profile for editing, what Items are listed?

i was able to remove all sounds period from my pearl, but it also messed up the menu, and i ended up having to restore it back, because i was missing my messaging icon and was getting the java.nullpoint.exception errors.

also-again-i'm positive its not a profiles/notifications thing-trust me, i've spent hours trying to find the culprit. i went through each profile, edited each one to make it silent, heard which tune would play if it WERENT silent, and i still cant even find the sound.

i don't even think its a preloaded one. i know the sound isn't loaded on the sim card or something, so i just need a solution.

bump-still crying for help

No advice, other than can you get a plan instead of a GoPhone? That might fix the alert problem.

I feel bad for you... I hate it when my phone makes annoying random noises!

it saves me a lot of money to pay like 13 bucks a month cuz all i do is txt and make the occasional phone call. other than that i use my home phone.

i got a curve not too long ago and i have a prepaid card, it does the same thing. im not going to buy a 60$ plan seeing as im a teenager and i cant really get hooked up with a full time job.

so if someone out there knows how to help, it would be greatly appreciated.
