Any body know how to disable the text messages from showing up? I have a security lock, which becomes pointless because anyone can see my recent text.

Go to menu>settings>privacy. You'll see the first category is for 'lockscreen' Then uncheck the box next to 'Display message text"
EDIT: The first response wasn't there when I went to respond. Didn't mean to be redundant.
Thanks guys. Damn I honestly checked everywhere but there. Thanks!

I don't. I keep that unchecked. I feel it could've drained my battery quicker (lol, no evidence on that, I just like to uncheck things I don't use) It can be useful on the automatic restore once we get S off and are flashing from rom to rom.

I recently started having this problem where I keep getting 2 notifications for texts after using 2.1
I use handscent sms and turned off all notifications from the default messaging app but they both still notify me of a new text. Its annoying itll vibrate twice, ringer twice. plus I cant even get the default sms thing in the notification bar to go away unless I manually clear it. Never had this problem for the months I had this phone before the update.
Anyone come across this or know how to fix it?

Google always works.
google brought me right to this post. so at least the next guy with this problem will be able to fix it if anyone has an answer....? I cant be the first one with this stupid double notification.
seemingly, after disabling notifications, removing the messages shortcut from the homescreen does the trick, although i havn't tried this myself.
you wont loose the messaging its still in your APPS list.
just tried it and it does work

I had the problem for the longest time. I eventually found out that it was the SMS widget in Beautiful Widgets that was causing the problem, even though you hadn't activated it. Uninstall Beautiful Widgets and see if it works.

Simply open messaging and select setting by pressing menu key...
Disable notifications...!!!
Worked for me. ;-)

i had the same problem a while back too. and by disabling the notifications it still didn't work. what i ended up doing was clearing the SMS center number under network settings and retyping it in manually. worked like a charm

Does anyone know if there's a way to disable the screen turning on when receiving an SMS? I would really like to disable this if at all possible.
not sure if it's what you're looking for but if you install sms popup (which is a fantastically simple app) it's one of the many options that you can configure ...
hope this helps ...
This didn't prevent the screen from turning on. The basic SMS app seems to still turn it on.

the way this normally works, is you install handcent which does have this option. then you go in and disable to stock messaging app completely, so that only handcent or your replacement choice controls text behavior.

What you'll notice is that even if you disable the notifications on a the standard messaging app, the app still runs in the background as it's also handling all the incoming DB writes from what I can tell. Samsung re-wrote the messaging app which always runs (and can't be removed) and in this app is the control to turn the screen on. That's why I can't figure out how to disable it without breaking SMS functionality altogether.

that is the one i tried, i cannot find a combination that wakes the screen while at the same time doesnt have an annoying popup. (i never was good at finding the exact settings i wanted)
I am desperated by now. I need a way to disable autolock, but in all lockscreens apps, not only on the one that comes with the phone. I guess what I need is an action like when you are on a call and the screen goes off but the phone is still awake.
For example, I want to use Go Locker, and I have my screen timeout set to 15 seconds. When the 15 seconds passes my screen goes off, but also, Go Locker autotriggers itself. I don't want that to happen because it is annoying as hell to be unlocking all the time.
I have read thoulsands of threads here and in other websites, and I have try tons of apps, all of that with no results.
I have read that you can do what I want with Tasker, but I haven't figured out how.
Please, somebody help me, this issue has been driving me mad for two weeks now!
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english
um can't you just disable the lockscreen?
system settings -> Security -> Screen lock -> select "None"

Haven't you read me? I want to have a lockscreen, especially a custom one, not the ugly uncustomizable system one. For example, as I said, Go Locker. But I also want to prevent the autolock when the screen goes off. I want the lockscreen (any lockscreen) to trigger only when I press the button, and not when the screen goes off. Or at least to trigger itself after a long time, let's say 30 minutes. I need some app or something to turn off the screen just like in calls, but I don't know where else to look at this point...
Have a look in the store for Delayed Lock, it's a rather handy little app. There's a free trial available, the support thread is on XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955092

It only works with the system lockscreen, not with any other lockscreen... it even force you to use a pattern. What if I want to use the swipe method instead?
I tell you people, I think I need to trigger the same effect that happens when you are on a call. The screens disconects but the phone is still awake.
Thanks anyway but I still lost...
You may want to consider using Cyanogenmod since they include several such tweaks. In Settings->Lock Screen->Screen security you can delay the lock by up to 30 minutes if it timed out. Pressing power button engages it immediatly.
Alternatively, take a look at Juice Defender, it also has such an option but if I remember correctly not as customizable.
I use No Lock. Not what you want, but it works great.

Is not that, that is only for system lockscreen ant also, not for swipe lockscreen. I want something that applies to ANY lockscreen, like Go Locker.
I'll try Juice Defender.

Change the title of your thread, before it reaches hundred pages of people chiming in to tell you to go to setting and disable it.

You want to be able to keep your screen on indefinitely until you close the screen manually?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Yes, I want the screen to go off in 15 seconds for example, but not to lock until I press the power button. Or at least until a minimun time has passed, like 30 minutes.
I want to think that I can do this with Tasker, but I don't know how! Any help?
Why not just use NoLock? It has a toggle. Toggle it on for when you want backgrounding without a lock screen and then turn it off when you want your phone to lock?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I don't want that because of two reasons:
1 - It completely disables the lockscreen and I don't want that. I don't want to be toggling all the time. It's almost the same as unlocking all the time, at least for me.
2 I don't think it works with custom lockscreens.
Thanks anyway.
Try miui with tons of different lock screens and everyone is system. I think this is app specific rrally.. Either you get what you want with system lockscreen or you do a request for the developer of the lockscreen you want to use....

Sorry mate, just downloaded Golauncher and Golocker to see if I could do this for you, but it seems like the whole process is pretty closed off, I can't find a way for tasker to influence golocker in any way.
Works with widgetlocker though... just sayin'
What works with widgetlocker??

Wish I were rooted so I could get rid of it. On some phones like the S5, the in-call shortcut can be closed simply by holding it down and it will give u the option to close it. No such luck here =[
P.S. I'd love to give u a "thanks" but I don't think i'm allowed to yet, as I don't see that option anywhere.

Thanks for the root directions! I'll definitely take a look into it soon when I have a chance. I've always been quite withheld when it comes to rooting =/
probably a stupid question that's easily searchable...but how easy would it to be to un-root the G3? As of now, besides the darn call box thing i'm pretty satisfied with how the G3 is setup.

If it doesn't work when you turn off the notification you can add it as a system app and it will allow it persistent use without the notification. Non system apps do this because the OS will shut them down if they aren't "in use". By keeping an icon in the notification bar they can look like they are in use to the OS. Making them a system app removes the new for that.
