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.

For those of you that have a Diamond I have a question for you please.
When you receive an email/sms message, do you receive a pop-up on the screen like the 2007 devices provided (which gave you the option to continue to the message or dismiss it) or do you just get a notification next to the email/sms icon?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Just get a notification next to the icon. Actually I'm going to stop using HTC home because although it looks really nice, I hate that it's not customisable.
You can enable the popup message in Options -> Sounds and Notifications -> Notifications -> Messaging: New e-mail message -> check "Display message on screen".
In diamond, these popups are disabled by default, hence this extra step.
Awesome. Thanks for the feedback.
Hi,
Does somebody know how to desactivate the confirmation of deleting a sms, coz actually they go in the trash can (no need to confirm then if want to delete or no from incoming sms list) ??
Also, is it possible to change the font in the sms page, i mean when we open a incoming sms ? Would get it in black on white page.
Thanks a lot
Go to messaging > Tools > Options > Message Tab > uncheck 3rd option "Warn when deleting maessagin...".
As for fonts. I dont know.
Thanks a lot !!!
Actually i saw already that option, but i couldn't get in... maybe i had a message selected, so that field couldn't be clicked !!
Anyway, thanks
For the font color i'm still looking for
Does anyone know how to deactivate this in tf3d? I find it a bit dumb going through the effort of pressing menu -> delete only to get a confirmation.
I tried the above, but it didn't work, I'm guessing that's just for the inbox.
Thanks.
Hi there,
Can someone tell me how I change the default app that is used to open text messages?
When I downloaded ChompSMS, I chose that as the default app, but I'd like to change that to Handcent SMS.
Thanks very much,
Menu>settings>applications>manage applications>chompsms then select the clear defaults button
Thanks very much - so how do I go about setting a new default?
the next time you open a message or anything related to messaging, your sammy will ask which app you want to use.. just check the "use by default for this action"

You see, that's what I hoped too.
But I've tried clicking on the Messaging icon and not getting a pop up box. It's just opening up in the standard app.
nope.. not the messaging icon.. because that messaging icon is a shortcut for the built in messaging app..
it must be a messaging "action" like clicking on a "send sms" button on the phonebook...
and also.. if you are referring on the messaging icon on 4 icons at the bottom, you must replace the default messaging icon (shortcut) with the handcent icon..
^instructions: click the applications icon -> menu -> edit -> drag the handcent icon/shortcut to replace the default messaging icon/shortcut
Ah ok, that makes sense. Think I've got it now ... cheers
One last question - is there a way of reverting the icon used for 'Messaging' to its default state?
you mean returning the default messaging shortcut at the bottom? yes you can, you'll notice that when you've replaced it with the handcent shortcut, the default messaging shortcut went to the applications menu. just do the same instructions to replace the handcent shortcut with the default shortcut..
since you'll be using handcent, disable the notifications of the default messaging app & use handcent's notification..
How can I disable notifications on the original notifications? I dont have any...please see my attached pictures...after settings, there is no notification settings for me to uncheck...ive transferred Handcent to the 4 main home button on the menu. but on the original messenger on the applications where i transfered it, it still has a number that its still receiving messages
curious tho. i've tried to drag the handcent app over the messaging app, once in the "applications" page. and it does nothing but let me throw it away..i desperately want to change the "messaging app" also one of the 4 apps at bottom, and make it the handcent. please help! thanks

If you don't see the Edit icon when you click the menu button, make sure you select Customizable List, then Menu, and you'll see the Edit button. Now drag the new icon the the menu bar.

Hi there.
I have one problem with my LG Black, i've got installed NOVA V7 ROM and from market I install Handcent SMS and set is as a default SMS app. I uncheck in oryginal android sms application option "notifications" and now i got only one notification on my statusbar when I get a sms and thats all right, but when someone send me message i get on lockscreen notification that i've got 1 message and when i tap on this notofication and slide down it goes to the oryginal android sms app. This is very annoying becauce after i get sms I got 2 notifications, one from Handcent SMS on my statusbar and the other one from oryginal SMS app on my lockscreen, and if i go to the Handcend and i read the message this one dissapear but the second one (from SMS/MMS app) is still on my lockscreen.
In a nutshell: When i get sms i have to go to the 2 sms app because i get 2 notifications, one from handcent and one from stock sms application.
My question is: how to change this slide down opption to handcent sms or if I can't do this, how to delete this option ?
Thanks a lot for help.
If you're not madly in love with the default lockscreen you can find out there some pretty alternatives and that should solve your 2 notifications problem. I used to have that problem too but I simply changed to widgetlocker which, btw, it's more powerful and customisable and you can have whatever lockscreen you want, without those 2 notifications. If you are rooted you could also delete the sms app but i'm not sure about that. Linking it to handcent or go sms or anything i don't think it's going to work.
For double notification message on status bar, you can disable notification from stock messaging settings.
And for notification message on lock screen, it's build with stock messaging, and there's no clue yet how to disable it.

Hey, I have solved this problem. But don't know which app killed it. I have "autostarts" and "no lock". I think it's autostarts. But mind you, it is an anvanced application.
On option "When SMS Received" you'd see both, Messaging and Handcent. So tap Messaging and disable it. "After Startup" option, disable Messaging as well. You could disable Messaging as well or other unnecessary apps that autostart on other options. Like Gallery, Music etc. HTH

Autostarts app. Not on the phone itself. You have to download the app.
Autostarts by Michael Elsdorfer. Find it on the market.

in settings->notifications-> you have to choose on every app what you want to display or not
There is no Notification in UI. Only "Notification panel & status bar" which doesn't have any settings for lock screen. I've found setting "Show detailed notification info" saying show the message details and sender of a notification on the lock screen, which I've disabled, but I'm still seeing who sent me an email on lock screen.

In notification panel & status bar, there is notifications management. in there you will see all your apps. select one , and disable where you don't want it to apear: banners, lock screen etc.
Thanks, found it.
I found this - it's in settings > notifications and status bar > notifications management > tap the cog in top right > Tap 'When device is locked' and choose the option you want
I solved it..
Go to:
1. Settings
2. Notification & status bar
3. Notification management
4. On top of the screen on the right you see a gear(setting icon) tab on it
5. You see an option (when device is locked) open it and change settings!?
i have a problem with this solution. When i did this i hear notification sounds but when i press the power button i cant see which app push me the notification. I just want to see the whatsapp notification on lock screen but not the message itself.

Did you try by changing Settings / Notifications inside the WhatsApp application
Yes. But nothing changed.
for me just going to whatsapp settings->notifications->popup notifications-> set to off, work.
