No notifications/buzzing during phone calls?

[7enderbender]

I've been searching around and it appears that this may just be another Apple synchronicity without a (non jailbreak) solution:

Coming from the Blackberry world I'm used to the concept of "profiles". That doesn't exist on OS6 except for the little mute switch on the side. So I use that to go from beeps and ringer tones to vibrate during office hours and at night. That's perfectly fine and really the only two types of "profiles" I ever used on my BB anyway - and there is always the good old "do not disturb".

What's annoying though is that in both settings I get email notifications when on a phone call. The buzzing from the vibration motor is not exactly subtle and really disruptive when talking on the phone - especially when you get a whole barrage of emails at the same time.

Is there any way to prevent that? BB has a setting for that that lets you block emails and text messages when in a call. I can't seem to find that on my iPhone 5. Thanks.

go to settings > notifications > mail and turn off the vibration pattern?

Err, what? You mean just turning it off in general? No, that's no solution. I heavily rely on these notifications. Only not when I'm actually on the phone talking to somebody.

Turn off the vibration only. not the notification.

Turn off the vibration only. not the notification.

But then it won't vibrate when I'm NOT on a call, right?

Correct.

You could change the vibration pattern to something more subtle if you like just for mail

OMG, i thought i was the only one!

I hate being on a phone call with my phone in vibrate mode...then getting 8 text messages in a row...having your phone vibrate and make that noise is annoying and the other person on the end of the line can hear it too.

The ONLY solution is to hop into settings>sound and turn "vibrate on silent" to OFF when you are on a call.

There is no other solution, sorry. It's what I have to do tho when i know i'm on an important call. Just remember to turn it back to ON when you're done.
