    Default Notifications while on call

    I have both email and text messages set to both vibrate and audible notifications.
    The vibration is strong and the distinctive tones alert me to the different message types.
    The problem is when I'm on a phone call they continue to work.
    The vibration is so strong and lot that it shocks my face and is audible to the person on the call.
    Is there a setting that will disable vibration during calls?
    Possibly only displaying a notification light because the vibration is very distracting. It always stops me in mid-sentence while speaking to a client.
    It is so strong and loud it has the same effect while I'm on Bluetooth and the phone is away from my head.
    Any suggestions?

    That's not the way it's supposed to work. While you're on a call you should get a beep(like the call waiting beep) and that's it.

    I think there's settings in the call section to turn off/make it just beep. If not there then try the individual apps settings

    Go to your dialer, hit the menu button, call settings, call alerts. Check what I have marked on my screenshot. The description is not worded well. "Go off" actually means "turn off" not that they will occur while on a call.

    Uncheck if you want notification beeps. Turn the main notifications to "silent'.

    I did select the Alerts on call option and I still get a vibration when an email comes into my corporate account.

    I don't want to disable notifications for email because I use them for work, but they are VERY disruptive on calls. The vibration sounds like a freight train over the phone.

    Any other thoughts? Is this a bug?
