Anyone know how I can turn off the swoosh tone whenever u send a message?
Phone settings/sounds/sent mail ➠ set to off
yea that didnt work, i meant for the text messages, not email
All,
this can be done..
here is what i did to turn the tone off..
i created an empty mp3 file using garageband...
then i used ifile to find the SentMessage.caf file
(located here.. /System/Library/Audio/UISounds)
the name of the file is SentMessage.caf
i used ifile to rename this file, then i ftp'd my newly created file
to the directory)
then renamed the file to SentMessage.caf
you can use ifile to listen to all the files in that directory to figure out which one you want to change..
Thank You

That depends. If you can SSH into your iPhone or connect to it and have access to the file system from your desktop then yes. If you don't know what I just said, read up on SSH. Be warned that this is not an amateur operation. You can seriously open your iPhone up to being compromised if you don't know what you are doing.im new to apple all togather
the directions to turn off the sound can be done thru a pc?
The key ingredient you are missing is iFile. iFile allows you to browse the file system of your iPhone like you can on your PC. Install iFile from Cydia.not sure how to even fine the file
any extra directions would be greatly appreciated
Has any simpler solution for this been found for us non-techies who don't have know what most of the stuff said in this thread even means? I really hate the sound, but this is all way over my head.
One of the biggest reasons I jailbreak--to get rid of all the stupid pointless noises Apple still hasn't seen fit to give me toggles for! Others may chime in with specific tweaks they use for this sort of thing, but here's how I handled it.
Obviously, if you're not jailbroken & on a firmware that can't be JB'd, you're out of luck. When I first started out, I was scared to death to mess with system files; now I'm comfortable enough to do it manually if I want to, but I've used Winterboard for this for years now without any problems so there's been no reason for me to change my process. And unlike most theming related elements, Apple hasn't changed the sound names on me yet with any firmware updates, so the same theme has worked for three years now, on multiple iPhones and iPads. Using Winterboard, you pretty much don't have to worry about accidentally screwing up a critical file.
This theme works like any other in Winterboard. But for those new to theming:
If you don't already have Winterboard, you'll need to download it from Cydia.Then unzip the attached theme & drop it into your /Library/Themes folder.Go into Winterboard and check the list of themes for "Silent Running".Toggle the theme on and respring.Enjoy your quieter phone!
A pretty lengthy list of names for various system sounds is contained in this forum thread from when I first asked the same question: Running Silent. That will be useful if you want to know what sounds I've silenced with the theme, because I've used it so long, I have no idea anymore what a stock iPhone sounds like or what I no longer hear thanks to these files. LOL Look over the list and delete or rename the files within the theme for the sounds you actually want to keep--for example, this theme eliminates lockscreen sounds and a handful of other noises as well. If there are sounds on the list that you want to get rid of that I haven't added to the folder, just duplicate any of the files I've provided (they're all the same silent recording) & rename it to match the appropriate sound from the list. Most of them probably haven't changed, but if they have, note it back here and someone may be able to find the new name for you. (Note: some full UI themes include their own sounds. If you want to silence those, drag Silent Running above all other themes in Winterboard before you enable it.)
Hopefully that helps someone.
This is all so far I've my head it might as well have been written in Chinese.
Nice that you have these skills though.
Well, begin at the beginning: is your phone jailbroken? Because if it is, none of this is beyond your ability.
Since I'm not even sure what that means, I'm guessing the answer is No.
do you want to go through the hassle of jailbreaking your device? If yes, what version is your iDevice on? if it's on iOS 8, there's currently no jailbreak
If it's risky proposition in general, I suspect it's even more so for me. I'm a 52 year old non-techie. The odds of me even understanding the directions, much less following them correctly, are probably slim.
Not sure if it's worth the hassle if you think you're going to have problems understanding the instructions
