Hi, I'm on o2 not jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 my iPhone 4s started doing it after the update. I switch it off then back on this stops it for about 7 to 10 messages then it starts again. Strange.
I too am having this problem, and have reviewed ALL the forum postings I can find on the subject. Some have asserted that the problem is resolved, but it IS NOT. I have tested ALL the possible settings and configurations, including changing the "Repeat Alert" setting to "Never", but the problem remains. As someone has said, it is not a repeat alert, but rather a "hiccup" or a glitch, where the sound starts, but the fraction of a second later repeats itself, like "B'd-B'ding!" instead of just "B'ding!" My conclusion is that this is a software glitch affecting certain phones, and will need to be fixed with an IOS update.

Downside to this, of course, is that the phone will not vibrate when receiving a text.
ThisIsDarwin said:same problem i'm having with several (sometimes 8-10) hiccupping alert tones when receiving a text message. recently jailbroke my phone. could this cause something else to malfunction?
thanks
No. This could not cause anything to malfunction simple alert sound bug.

vatsup said:Hey Guys,<br><br>Here's a solution that might help you. Go to the settings->notifications->message and OFF the "view in lock screen". Do that for other apps also which causes the same sound.<br><br>This will stop the stammering sound but the downside is it will also stop displaying the messages in the lock screen. But I dont mind that since I was so fed up of the continuos sound which was so embarrassing sometimes. Apple really needs to find a full fix to this.<br><br>Cheers!!<br>AV
