Hiya
is there a way to remove / stop my sms/mms been previewed on the status bar at the top of the screen
its a bit of a privacy nightmare having 1/2 a message shown
esp as 1/2 a message can be taken out of context
ive been searching but there are so many ways to describe what i want to happen im getting no where
any pointers would be awesome
regards D
You'd have to disable the notification all together.
Or switch to another sms app.
You might be able to disable the notifications and use Missed Call to still allow led's and notification sounds when you get a new sms.
Just a thought, havn't tried this myself.

Try the app Missed Call.
It might let you get the led's back so that you'll know when you get a sms.
Good luck with this.
if i could program id take a look at the code for the app and remove the line or two that does the displaying lol but i fail at even bash
aww i had hopes then but i will try other missed call apps and maybe a new sms app if i can find a good one
download dgalert from the market. you can customize a lot and it replaces the default notification but trust me its better. give it a try..theres an option for privacy that doesnt show the text
chompSMS is one of the best apps i can think of. great interface, tons of notification settings like choosing what color icon you want, led color, showing the message in the status bar, etc

Hi,
I have been searching and looking for something to replace the mechanism for notifications on my TP CDMA (Sprint).
When my calendar notification, SMS notification or voicemail notification activates, its a tiny icon in the status bar at the top, which I have to tap multiple times and then I get the annoying HTC status screen and then I need to tap the icon for VM, or alert to see what my notification is...
I find this very annoying and its easy to miss important notices.
Isnt there a better way? Ideally, something that would automatically play a ringtone and display a window on the screen (even after standby) until I dismiss it....
Does anyone know of something like this?
Thanks!
If you go into Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> Notifications
You can configure how the phone notifies you about each event, so for a SMS you'd set for it to "Display Message on Screen"
Granted this is not a huge amount a flexibility and a lot of the time the pop up dissapears and one would have to click up at the status bar again to get it down, yet it is still options.
I haven't looked into differenet notification programs / systems as I am quite content with the stock ones just changed to my liking.
Personally, I hate the pop up, always comes up in the middle of something and just gets in the way.
Is there any way to actually change the look of the bubble ???? I'd ideally like it to be centered on the screen, instead of at the bottom. Also, if you looked more like a bubble, or something else, that would help too. I've been Googling around for about half an hour, and have found NOTHING except changing the bubble color on iPhone and some apps for changing those.
Why aren't there any on WM ????

Francarl is working on trying to change the look of the bubble Check out FingerMenu in the Dev & Hacking section. It should look something like that if it works.

I just set everything to vibrate and flash. I have rlToday setup with 4 BIG finger friendly icons for SMS, Email, Missed Calls, and Voice Mails at the bottom of my Today screen... with their respective counters. A Vibrate and Task icon is enough already. Looking at the today screen will let me easily see anything I need to worry about.
rlToday is a today plugin based on XML which you can create to look like anything you want. Highly customizable.
dontforget works but appears initially to conflit with s2u2 so I'm using dontforget insdtead. hope to find a way to do both.

I hate how I have to constantly go back and turn on "display" for reminders. It disables itself all the time.
dontforget is doing that? not had that issue.
Hey, i have used PhoneAlarm for a few years with past phones, just loaded it on my new Verizon TP, works great as usual. It is not free, ($15 i think), but has been well worth it. Google PocketMax PhoneAlarm (you want the pro version). It is very customizable (skins, custom sounds and intervals for different events), has profiles that can change alarms based on your location, meeting status, or manual selection, and supports TF3D. It also supports a popup on new event and with the notification softkey that allows you to easily click and address the event. I started using it because it allows custom repeat alarms (different sounds after a certain period of time as well as custom intervals). I needed something to alarm pleasantly a few times then an obnoxious alarm every 20 seconds to wake me while sleeping. I'm a paramedic in sometimes remote locations dispatched via this phone, so i NEED to get messages. I've tried several others and always come back to PhoneAlarm. Just my 2 cents...
phoneAlarm.
Hi,
Hopefully a very answer to what should be a simple setting.
I've migrated to the HTC Incredible S from HTC Magic. The trouble is when I receive a text message the icon is shown but the message itself is also shown on screen. I can't find an option to get rid of that.
All I need is the icon showing me I have a message.
Thanks
Go to Mail -> Settings (by pushing the button with the 3 strips) -> More -> Settings -> Notification settings -> Activate Email notifications.

Hi,
Thanks for replying. However, it's not the mail notification I concerned about but text/SMS notification. I just want to disable the message showing on my screen when a new message is received.
I can't seem to find an option to remove this.
I think your barking up the wrong tree there jkolner, sounds like he is taking about the preview of a text message on the lockscreen....
I have looked for a way to remove this myself, and as far as I can tell the only way to stop it is to use a replacement lockscreen like widget locker. seems a bit of a security oversight in my eyes, should be a setting.
Arh... i use GoSMS so i don't have that problem.
The only thing i can find is Message -> Settings (by pushing the button with the 3 strips) -> Settings -> Notifications.
But that don't solve the problem :-(

You don't have Handcent SMS installed by any chance, do you? That will show any new SMS as a pop-up on your screen by default, but you can switch it off in the settings.

If you use the default lockscreen and the default messaging app, when you get a new text it displays the content on the lockscreen. I think this is the problem he is talking about.

Ah, fair enough. I usually customise the hell out of any phone I get as soon as I switch it on for the first time (and I cannot stand the default Messaging app), so I am oblivious to this particular issue.
I have ChompSMS installed. Again this does not provide a setting to disable this kind of notification. I'll have to look into installing a different lock screen.
I'm just surprised that this is not a setting that can be switched off.
So I got my phone yesterday, I noticed the ringtones increase in volume and there is no way to change it and I also don't have the option to hide sensitive data on the lock screen for emails and text messages. I checked for an update on my phone but it says it's up to date. I looked up tips and tricks for lollipop and some of the stuff that's mentioned in the posts, I don't have the options to use them, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Yeah there is no way to change the ascending ringtone..i dont like it.
you can turn off the messages on the lockscreen by going to
settings/sound & notifications/When device is locked
Please search next time there are ~5 different OPs discussing this.

I want the notifications on the lock screen but I want to hide the actual text from the message, so if someone looks at my screen it shows a message from so and so but the actual message portion is hidden.
Hi all z3c user,
I have a question about the icon on the notification bar. I have installed a newspaper app, if there are some news to alert me, it will pop up an icon and have a notification message in the notification panel.
If there are a first alert but I still not clear it, then if the second alert received, the icon in notification bar has only one, and the notification panel will have two messages until I clear it, then they will gone.
The problem is, the same app, installed other than SONY device, e.g. LG/Samsung, they will have one icon for one message, that means they will have 2 same icon when they received two alerts, but I found that SONY ROM will group the icon into one, so that I need to pull down the notification panel to see how many alert received.
Anyone know how to "ungroup" the icon? Thanks.
By the way, not only this app, some football score apps have the same problem.
no one have idea?
It's a SystemUI thing, meaning it's hardcoded. Sony made it this way, other vendors are doing it the other way. Some custom ROMs have the ability to toggle this behaviour, but on stock there's nothing to do. IMHO, grouping is better because it doesn't waste so much space on the notification bar for same types of notifications. If I get 1 email, I really don't mind knowing there's actually 5 at the first glance, but I'll see that immediately when I pull down the notification bar anyway.

Thanks for your reply. But do you know is it able to change some settings or parameters in systemui.apk?
There are 2 things bugging me at this point and want to know if i am just overlooking the solution. The first thing is can we remove the auto brightness slider from the Notification Bar? I have looked and searched all over i cant seem to remove it. Second thing is is there any way to stop the screen from turning on when i receive i new text message using the default messages apps? I usually dont use default messaging apps however i want to use the edge lighting and people edge notifications. Anyone figured out how to get rid of these 2 issues?

Unfortunately the brightness slider can not be removed as it's built into the framework, also no way to disable screen wake with stock text messaging app (until we get root if it ever happens)

Text Message screen - Have you tried going into the text message app, swipe left, under Advanced, Settings, uncheck Enable Popup? My screen does not wake when I get a text.

I have to second this - my screen doesn't light up when I get a message ... BUT I also use the Samsung SMS app and not the Verizon one. I don't even care if the VZW one is better, I refuse to use Big-Red branded apps.
As for the brightness slider, it appears this is now baked into the framework without any option of removing. I'm sure it would be an easy fix if we had root, but you'll have to be patient on that front.
