Can someone please describe the procedure for turning off the verbal annoucement on my new Galaxcy Stratosphere II that I have received Email?

I have an original Stratosphere, so it may not be the same, but if you haven't done this I'd suggest going to the Email app and the Settings or Account settings (perhaps Menu, then More) and look for a Notifications setting. The Strat 1 only has a ringtone, not a verbal announcement (though of course that too could be considered a "ringtone"), but one of the ringtone settings is Silent.

Hi....Thanks for the prompt reply.

 

I went to "Default Notifications", then clicked on "Silent". 

 

Thanks for the guidance .. It was a big help.    Bill

Glad it worked! I can imagine how annoying "You've got mail" coming out of your shirt pocket could get after awhile. Smiley Happy

Hi Dave.  Actually the announcement is "You have "X" new Email."  "X" can from 1 to 20.

 

Shutting off the announcements worked for about 2 hours.  As I was reading your post, I heard the announcement again.  I can understand someone who needs to know that there is new Email, it might be a good thing, but for me, it is just annoying. 

 

After dinner tonight I will play with the phone and see if I can figure it out over a cup of coffee. 

 

Thanks again.  Bill

Wow, good luck. Every once in awhile there is some odd thing in these phones that just resists the user. If there's no way to turn it off for good, you might look into a different email app from the Play Store.
