Since Wileyfox migrated from CyanogenMod to plain Android they have allowed a really annoying bug to creep in: SMS alerts are played at full volume in the earpiece during an active voice call.

Apart from being super annoying it might be dangerous in some cases as depending on the volume of the chosen tone, it might damage someones hearing.

Our device is running the stock 7.1.2 ROM which is the first release in which we noticed it.

In previous release, and almost every other device we can think of, the SMS alert during a voice call is either a simple pip or nothing at all.

Are you affected by this too? Have you found a solution (apart from a custom ROM or new phone)?

There seems no way around this in the phone setup and it seems to us that WF need to fix it. If you agree then please take a look at this FB post and vote it up - it may be we can get an update issued:-

SOLUTION: SMS Alert during voicecall.

For anyone interested we have found a solution: Replace the stock messaging app with Google Messages.

This can be downloaded from Play Store here:-
Google Messages

It seems the stock messaging app somehow gets around or ignores the "Override Do Not Disturb" setting as shown in the attached screenshot.

Hope this helps. :good:
