Hi Eric, You can set apps to behave differently. In settings-->notifications double tap and item under the heading: "in notification center" such as "messages". Near the bottom is a button labeled " repeat alert". The possible choices range from never to "alerts repeat at two minute intervals". Also, as you probably already know, there is a toggle switch in settings-->general-->accessibility-->voiceOver-->"speak notifications in locked screen" which can suppress automatic announcements.

Hi Listers, I am reading the new Take Control Book about the iPhone 4S and read that you can change the setting for the number of times a notification is repeated. I've noticed for example that If I get a text and my hands are busy the notification keeps repeating. I looked all over the settings area and in notifications but can't seem to locate the area to change this. i would be happy with just 1 reputation. I read the section in the book again but it is not clear to me where to go. Does anyone know how to change this?
