Is there a way to help prevent any potential domestic issues with a random text from an ex, or other message that you might not want seen by disabling text message notifications for appearing on the unlock screen?
I don't mind the little notification in the task bar thing, but not liking the large "Hey I Love You" appearing out of the blue from a past lover while the phone is out on the counter.
thats stupid tbh you shouldnt have to hide that **** from ur current 'lover' if you actually love them, theyll understand.

Thanks for the helpful response....
Do you mean when the text message is displayed at the top in the notifications bar? Or, I know on certain versions of Sense a large window pops up in the middle of the screen showing the text. I know you can turn off the second, in security or privacy or something similar to that (If this is it, and you can't find it I'll restore my Sense ROM and find it exactly). I'm not sure about the first, other than disabling notifications completely or changing to a different messaging app.
The top one in notifications bar is fine, that can be disabled in the message settings. Its the large window with the contact name and full text message appearing...must be tied in to sense. I'll see what else I can find, but appreciate your help!
I went and found it specifically Menu > Settings > Privacy. Uncheck the first box.

Thanks man. Appreciate it. Under Privacy there is "Display Message Text" Show missed call and message text on lock screen
You're welcome!

When the screen is locked, and a calendar remidner pops up, is the an option other than dismiss or snooze? For some reminders, I don't want to keep snoozing, and I don't want to dismiss cause it'll disappear. On the htc magic I would unlock the screen, check the reminder and then leave it or press home and it would stay in the notification pane until dismissed. But with the hero to even access it it seems I need to dismiss it. Any way around that?
On a completely unrelated matter, when you're talking on the phone and someone rings you, is it not possible to check the number afterwards? Seems that it doesn't register in missed calls.
Cheers.
I can answer the second question, when you go into your contacts (People shortcut), you can scroll to stuff in the bottom. When you slide all the way to the right, there is your call history. You can check incoming, outgoing and missed calls there.

Checked there, it doesn't seem to list missed calls that occurred while you were talking on the phone. So I hear the call waiting beeps, they stop, I end my call, and there's no record of the number that rang during my call.
the calendar thing is indeed a bummer, there should be the possibility to deactivate the alarm AND leaving the reminder unread, so it stays in the notification bar. i am wondering that i didn't notice this by myself yet, since i used to use the calendar this way all the time...
as for second question: just tried it, i see the missed call in the status bar, when i click on it i see it in the call history as missed call. i also see it when going by contacts -> most left icon in the bottom slidebar.
so far: 1. issue is a real annoying issue, 2. issue isn't a problem at all
hmm, thanks, maybe the beeping was in my head and not a call that was waiting!
On the calendar issue, seems to be an htc sense thing, as it worked fine on the htc magic that was plain android.
To not dismiss a reminder dont slide down but press the menu button on the lock screen, it removes the lock screen and takes you into the main screens.

Tried that, it still dismisses (or snoozes) the reminder. Which reminds me, in the calendar options, you can change the reminder display from 'show in notification bar' to ' show as alert' but both seem to do the same, at least when the screen is locked?!

What happens if you just hit the power/end button to turn teh screen off and then turn it in again?
same effect as snooze, pops up again a bit later
I just had an idea. Instead of texting by switching applications, what if you could just pull down the notification window, type a message and read it. If it worked with Google Voice, that would be very cool too!
I have no idea how to code this, but I am a designer and could create some pretty GUI for it.
You could try something like SMSPopup or the popup+quick compose shortcut that handcent has
Do you mean compose an entirely new message in the notification bar or reply to one you received?

I like his idea, I wouldn't mind seeing something official or official looking that popped up when long pressing an SMS notification that let you select reply, that kept you in your current app but popped up for replying like QuickDesk or SMS Popup does.

Maybe, but if you could send texts from the notification bar, next thing is someone else would want to send emails, someone else would want to make voice calls, someone else order pizzas and the next thing you know the purpose of the notification bar is lost in a jumble of features ... what's so difficult about pressing the sms icon to send a text?
Kind of pointless seeing how as you're one click and several milliseconds away from the full fledged SMS app. Remember, this isn't an iPhone, stuff works here - fast.
The notification bar is just that, a notification bar.

True. But I don't see why notifications can't have long-press options. The problem is, this would sorta have to be on a per-app basis. Meaning nobody would make an app that included a menu for the notification unless it was an official feature from Google, a part of Android 2.5, for example.

I was thinking that it would be a good idea to create something like what the OP wants, but I really like your response and you make a good point.
My two cense [yeah im UK so cant spell that word xD]
1) Popup SMS, I installed it very early on in my N1 career, never uninstalled it, its perfect for me.
2) While we dont NEED this, it would be interesting to see if its possible to type in the notification bar, as there may be other uses.
this gives me an idea too
i always hate going back to home or clicking music playing notification to change music.
If there was a little previous, play/pause and next icon it would be awesome. As the status bar is nearly always visible we never have to exit the current app we're in.
Hopefully someone can do this
but yeah sms would be cool too
A stinky note / drawing pad would be cool too. Just a way to quickly write a note, be it a phone number or grocery list, and view it anywhere without minimizing the current application.
Even though there are dedicated apps for all of this, the ease of use and speed of the notification bar are noticeable. The Framework is always running in the foreground.
I have been using Handcent for awhile and really like it. But yesterday switched to Go SMS Pro to check it out and because I like some of the themes.
But I noticed, unlike Handcent or ChompSMS, it does NOT have a popup window with incoming text on the Lock screen! I like to check out my text and maybe send a quick reply without unlcking my phone.
I can't find the option anywhere in Go SMS Pro, so I think it doesn't have it. I'd like to continue using it, but I think I'll have to go back to Handcent for the Lock screen text.
Does anyone know of a way to have it pop up on the lock screen? I did email the author about it.

Thank for the reply.
Yes I saw that, but that only is for popups if you are already in the phone. That doesn't enable lock screen popups.
On the lockscreen, it will light up, but only show you on your status bar on top of a new text, not an actual popup.
Do any popup windows happen at all, or just not on the lockscreen? Do you have a pattern/password lock?
I have been using widgetlocker for some time now and the popups come up fine for me. I have flashed many roms since starting to use Go SMS and never have had this problem. Im thinking either go sms is corrupted and you may need to uninstall and reinstall, or the stock lockscreen is getting in the way
I get popups over the lockscreen.
EDIT: Attached are the seetings that work for me...
Funny, pops up on my lockscreen just fine.
Sent from somewhere far far away.
I notice it doesn't really seem to work on my Sensation. Could it be because of the new lock screen (Sense 3.0)?
Well I am running a stock Atrix, and even after reinstalling I still don't get popups on the lock screen. I get them everywhere else though. Also I have all the appropriate settings checked.
A friend with an HTC Incredible has the same issue. It might be a bug in Go SMS Pro?
I uninstalled Handcent first before I installed Go SMS Pro, do you think maybe there is a residue setting in there causing this?
I would doubt it. Try clearing Go SMS data and cache and having another attempt.

Well tried that, and even uninstalled / reinstall one more time and still no go.
When I get an incoming text when the screen is off, the lock screen will light up, but the text shows on the status bar on top and doesn't have the popup/quick reply window like it does if I am already in the phone.
I guess it is a bug in Go SMS Pro for some phones.
Sounds like you might be right. That's a bummer for you. The irony is that I have disabled my popups as I don't like them

I selected the following option
notification settings > screen settings > unlock screen.
That seemed to have done the trick for the popup to show for the designated amount of time (10 sec for me), and it doesn't actually unlock the phone. Once I reply/delete or close the popup, I am prompted with slide lock and unlock pattern.

Security lock settings:
Screen timeout delay: 10s
Screen turned off delay: 1s
Slide lock settings:
Slide lock separate delay enabled

Maybe this will help
I tried messing around with the notification settings and checked the box that said unlock screen when receiving a message and had my friend text me. the text showed up over the lock screen so maybe that helps?
i'm using a motorola atrix.
I had the same problem with gosms. The only way I found was to check turn lock screen on, in the menu underneath the enable the pop up line and it worked. It does wake your phone though.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using XDA
Enable unlock screen under "Notification Settings > Screen settings > Unlock Screen" and that will take care of it. Dont worry it will not actually unlock your device.
Doing this enabled popup on my locked screen. Using Samsung Galaxy S3.
Try using the unlock screen option with pop up enabled. If I helped...... Thank me please.
Go SMS pro doesnt' allow me to reply from a locked screen either on SAMSUNG GALAXY S4

I have the same problem as well. It simply doesn't work with my Samsung Galaxy S4 either. Even if you setup and use all the appropriate settings, as the below poster said, it still requires me to swipe and unlock my S4 first, then I see the pop up sms. But having to unlock the phone first; to then be able to reply to a text is pretty sad and useless. I find it hard to believe that there isn't a fix for this, or a properly working "quick reply" out there in the ANDROID WORLD...LOL.
I'm looking for something similar to BITESMS for iphone 5 (which worked pretty darn well for me).
Does anyone have any recent news for the quick reply issue with the S4?
Thanks.

I have the S4 and using GoSMS pro. You have to enable "Turn lockscreen off" under the Settings > Advanced > Notification Settings > under "Screen Settings" you need to make sure to check the "Unlock Screen when receiving messages" and "Turn on Screen when receiving messages" once this is done....you need to make sure you are COMPLETELY backed out of GoSMS Pro to test it. When you receive a text message the screen will be unlocked and ON. Once you respond or "X" out of it...the screen will lock again.
Hope this helps.

I have a GS4 with these settings on go sms pro:
"Unlock screen when receiving messages" checked ON
"Turn on screen when receiving messages" checked ON
When I get a text, my screen turns on, but it shows my regular lock screen with the pattern grid, and then only shows the go sms pro notification icon in the notification bar up top.
I'm looking for something that will be like the stock SMS app on the GS4, where you get a text message and it shows you on the lock screen above the pattern grid.
Yeah, I did what you guys said but when I allow unlock phone and turn on screen when I get a message it takes me directly to my go SMS app inside of the phone! Lol. I don't want that, I just want that little tiny popup window on the actual lockscreen itself. I have a note 3 Qualcomm.
I searched and cannot find the answer likely because it probably requires root.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge with T-Mobile.
My goal is to have my notifications make a noise when they come in (mainly talking about text messages) but NOT display the caller name and context of the text message.
This is a feature called "headsup" in Lollipop I understand that. And there is even a place in settings that says "turn off pop-ups" but it does not work.
So root or no root, how can I still get a sound and maybe even a visual notification but NOT the name and content of the incoming text message. Gets pretty annoying if watching a movie, etc and for privacy reasons of course.
Thanks!
You mean on lock screen?
No not the lock screen, that is easy to block but the actual popup that happens every time a text message comes in. It is part of Lollipop and I have tried all the settings I can think of and researched it on line.
Pretty sure I need to root and use some rooting app or settings.

You can do it so you only get notification on the messaging app's icon. If that would be OK. No root needed
Go into
Settings
Applications
Application manager
Then find messaging
Un tick 'show notifications'
To get sound notifications back, download this app
Hope this helps
I hate that every notification except email has the same sound. How can I change so that text messages have their own notification? Right now text messages and all other random notifications share the same ringtone so I never know if I got a text message or something else.

I had been looking for this setting for days now and I just stumbled upon it. When you are editing a contact go to the bottom of the contacts information and hit the "ADD ANOTHER FIELD" button. There you will see the ability to add the "Message Tone" field as well as specify a "Vibration Pattern" if wanted. Not sure why they didn't put the Message Tone option on the contact by default.

Mind blow.
Dude, just set any ringtone for notifications via phone settings - it'l be your sms ringtone AND for any other applications having opportunity to create notifications you should open those applications, go their settings and find there option notifications and change notifications sound directly for that application. Logic!
Binrob, I get what you are after because I did a google search for the very same thing. No one here seems to get it.
What happens is all these other apps utilize the same NOTIFICATION sound as your text messages (like Facebook, or playing back-and-forth board games). Binrob and the rest of us want our TEXT messages TO BE DIFFERENT sounding than all the others. I don't want to look at my phone every time i get a notification, but i do want to look at my phone every time someone texts me. There doesn't seem to be a way to customize SMS/TEXT to its own notification sound. Android needs to fix this.
You've answered everyone's question! This should show up #1 on Google search!

Has there been updates since to change to separate notification for all contacts?
I get this issue and NEED them to fix as well! I don't want fb messenger and text messaging and any other notification to have the same sound. I want to know what app the notification is for WITHOUT unlocking and looking at my phone. Also, on my s5 I was able to change my led color for specific apps. If it blinking red I knew it was a text. Blinking green fb message. Blinking blue fb notification. Etc! Please add those back!
You CAN set the sound for messages, go to settings, notifications, advanced ......... choose messages, more settings (at the bottom of the screen), and the next screen is where you change the sound that is made. Not exactly user friendly though!
I think the answer is as simple.as: go to your message app, top right hit: more, Then go to settings and set whatever ringtone you want to have under notifications. I guess this should be what you are looking for.
Cheers

notificaton tone in message+
The comment that you can set message tones In contacts is correct except that apps like message+ , at least on the Galaxy , ignore that and use their own tones
I just found it....
open messages on the right top corner click there and pick customize ando under tones and there u can pick whatever ringtone for only SMS....
FOR SAMSUNG S9/S9+. To have a specific sound for you messages, go to messaging app/setting/notifications/general notications must be off/emergency alerts must be off. Go to new messages and choose your preferred sounds.
