In Windows Phone 8 is it possible to disable Toast Notifications for SMS and Instant Messages? It was really annoying that personal messages would pop up on my lock screen in business situations etc ....you can disable this on Android and IOS phones my colleagues use.

There is a button to choose what to show detailed things about, and 5 buttons underneath to add or remove stuff like sms, phone etc.

You two are talking about completely different things... The OP was talking about Toasts, not about lockscreen apps. But AFAIK there is still no way to hide the message in the the toast.

But something very weird happened. I was at the ATT store yesterday, the HTC 8X on display was connected. I looked up its number, and I texted it from my existing Windows Phone 7 (Samsung Focus S), and there was no Toast Notification! I tried several times.....with the screen locked, not locked and so on. The tile notification indicated there was a new text message each time, but not display on the screen. I quietly snickered to myself, and then happily purchased the HTC 8X yesterday (and I was actually some sort of 100th customer thing after Black Friday, and I got $250 worth of accessories for free!).
But to my chagrin, the first text I got this morning.....TOAST NOTIFICATION, and everyone since. So why did they not come up in the store but do now.
Does anyone know how to make the quick status notification for Xbox games work on the lock screen. I have added it, but as far as I can tell, it doesn't work.

So how do we get this build which eliminates the toast notification for texts? It worked perfectly...the tile notification updated, but no texts came to the lock screen or Start screen.

Guidelines and checklist for toast notifications
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465391.aspx
Inappropriate use of toast notifications
Don't notify the user of something they didn't ask to be notified about.
... Your app is expected to work without toast notifications.
When will Microsoft developers begin to use these guidelines? lol
I just found out what toast notofications really do...They violate your privacy...This is a very important reason for me to switch back to android or go for an iPhone! I would hate to leave wp though...It's unacceptable...If i'm using my phone next to a friend of mine and my girl sends me something horny, well, it's not a nice experience! This has already happened to me along with similar situations...
Could you use Driving Mode as a work-around?
If you have a spare bluetooth device (such as an no longer used earpiece) it might be easier to do this than using a switch in settings. You wouldn't need to touch the phone, all you would need to do is turn on/off the BT device as and when you need to block texts.

hahaha yeah that was funny I admit it!
As a workaround you could enable the phone to read the incoming messages out loud so your friend doesn't have to invest the energy to read it.
On a serious note, I find theta complaint very far fetched. Unless your friend is staring directly at your screen, it'll be hard to read what your girlfriend wrote. If he is watching your screen, it is common courtesy to look away when someone receives a text or message.
Either way, you can always swipe the incoming toast notification away.
Edit: and since the toast will really only show the first few words of a message, I'd find it challenging to put something raunchy or embarrassing in those t or 6 words.

Hey there!
I got my Note 5 a few days after it was launched in my country (about 3 weeks back) it is a great device, battery, performance etc.
However, I realized something was amiss with its smart select feature.
I cannot extract text from the image i selected. I could do this when I was on my note 4 and it was really helpful. If i need to extract address I just smart select the address and there will be a tine T on the selected item and I can copy the text. Now all it does is save it in the gallery.
Did i miss something or did samsung remove this feature?
Next up is, my twitter notification. I am a heavy twitter and I would usually have a special notification tone for this. However, I seemed to fail to set it on a specific tone. It will always go back to the default tone. i've tried several times but failed.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks a bunch everyone!

Well about the twitter notifications, I've had that same issue on my last 4 phones lol. Try to change the notification and it always reverts back to the stock. So it's not a Note 5 issue, it's a twitter issue.

Samsung did remove the text extraction from smart selection, along with the ability to do multiple selections and save as a single scrap book entry, although you could group them later, but what a hassle!
Thanks! For the notification, I can change it to my custom notification on my note 4. therefore i thought it was a note 5 issue. *cries*

Yeah after searching high and low for some sort of explanation, it is true that samsung took it out. WHY OH WHYYYY... instead now i have to use optical reader to do what i did with text extraction... what a hassle indeed.
Anyone activated DIGITS and tried out the app on S8 yet?
If so, what are your impressions and annoyance?
I signed up for the beta back when it started, just put it on my Verizon iPhone 7 (work) and it works flawlessly.
On the S8 there is no additional app needed, it's all integrated into the stock ROM. The dialer and SMS apps let you choose which line you want to call or text from. It also tells you what device made a call. Works flawlessly.

Yep, i was on unbranded firmware which was missing the Multilines settings, so flashed back to official TMO firmware and now everything is seamless without a hitch. Enjoying DIGITS although I don't have plan to carry 2 numbers.
Where are you guys finding the multilines setting? I have an S8+.

If Digits is enabled for the line, you'll find multiline settings under Cloud and Accounts.

My apologies. I should have included the fact that there is a known issue with the location of those settings on the S8/S8+. Another manager in my district activated Digits, rebooted his S8+ and the Multi Line settings disappeared. I along with him & others have reported it to the Digits team and apparently there is an OTA update coming to address it. In the mean time they've suggested using the Digits app for those having issues.
I'm on the AQC9 with all updates blocked and it's working flawlessly so I'm not sure where the issue resides

I have the s8 and the gear s3 and digits works fine without a problem didn't have to set up anything on the phone. I have 2 lines one for me and one for the wife.
I just wish I could put my S3 line into digits.
Ok I work for T-Mobile and I know how to make the digits multi line setting appear. It's a process though so get ready.
First you have to log in to the T-Mobile app. So if yoiu don't have it or deleted it download it again from Play Store. Log in and hit the menu button > usage and plans. You should see a button that says to unlock digits. Click it.
A message will then appear telling you multi line has been added. But you need to restart your phone for it to show up. It will be in clouds and account in settings.
I can't upload any screenshots as mines is activated already and the button goes away. But after thatnjust sign in to your t-mobile account.
Now FYI!!!!
You need to have someone registered as the PRIMARY ACCOUNT HOLDER ON MY.T-MOBILE.COM BECAUSE WHEN YOU ACTIVATE YOUR DIGITS NUMBER AND PUT IT IN. IT SENDS A REQYEST TO THE PRIMARY ACCOUNT HOLDER TO ALLOW THE NUMBER TO BE USED ON THAT DEVICE! IF NOT YOU WILL GET STUVK WITH A "WAITING FOR APPROVAL " MESSAGE FOREVER AND HAVE TO LOG OUT AND STSRT THIS WHOLE PROCESS OVER. ADDED A PAH AFTER WON'T SEND AN APPROVAL TEXT.

I know, two months late here, but I'm wondering if you ever got that figured out. I've done the same with an AT&T phone (TMB/TMB/ATT) and can't get the multi-line to enable. Using Shortcut Master I can get the Multi-line config to launch, but trying to sign-in to my account just gets me a screen that says "Updating Multi-line settings... Please try again later."

Hey, yeah I did manage to get it to work. Had the same issue, using Nova I could get to the multiline settings but no options actually worked. I ended up swapping my sim into an actual T-Mobile phone that has digits integration (S7 edge), then unlocking it on their website for Digits to work, and then swapped it back, and I got the little popup saying that multiline was enabled. Seems like the sim has to be provisioned.
I like the Digits Apps for Windows and MacOS. Its like having iMessage. The only issue I've had is that text sent from the PC don't show up on my phone. Still nice though I can send and receive text on the PC. I can also make and take phone calls.
I've been a android messages user for a while now, but since emui 8 on my p20 pro, I've not been able to set customizable notifications for different contacts. Thought it would work the way as Gmail app, but no luck. I'm using 3rd party app for the moment (TEXTRA), but I don't like it. Anyone have any answers?

Does Android messages do the same thing on other phones?
Yeah it does, I've used it since my P8, and my wife uses it on her P10. Checked again yesterday, can change notifications to whatever she wants. Its like they made it the same as their old sms app.
For some reason huawei has removed this option from android messages. One of many unexplained software decisions with emui

google made this rules
as new Google rule all messaging should happen via Google messaging app only
Wasn't Google, had a chat with the other week. They have no control of what Huawei did. And Huawei just said sorry, I'll ask our Devs team to look into it but they are looking into 9 pie, so they may never fix it.

which is fine, but it still does not answer why you can customize notifications in the google messaging app on any other phone, but not on huawei.

Tried it and it took me to the App Notifications Setting screen - selecting Messages does not show any settings to change the notification tone.
You should see an entry called Other notifications, click on that (the text not the toggle button and you will then be able to set the Sound and other options.

Hello Guys,
I have Problems with my Notification. I don't get Notification for 80% of the Apps. If I go into the App, the Notifications appear. After I reboot my Phone, all Apps spam all recent Notifications and it works for 1-2 Days. After that I have to reboot my Phone again, otherwise I don't get the notifications anymore till I open the App.
I recognized that If I get Notifications I see them normally in the Lock screen. If I unlock the phone but don't open any App I don't see any Notification on the Lockscreen anymore. I have to unlock my phone and swipe down to see all the Notifications. Is this Android 12 related or a real issue?
Thanks for feedback!
Your the first one who complains about it and i even have auto launch off from every app background activity off and recent task lock removed and still i can't get rid of those notifications but at them moment for notifications on your lockscreen you can now set it up per app at app info NOTIFICATIONS maybe you didn't see that

Yes, sadly been thinking about converting to NA firmware to see if it makes any difference in some of the bugs I've been seeing with OP's TMO firmware. Also the faster updates/no TMO bloatware are a plus.
