Flip your Phone upside down or cover the light sensor
that will not do it, on my android i have 1000 of apps that will hide everything i want but on a windows phone there aren't any?
or at least an option to not make a message pop up on my home screen?
that's kind of ridiculous don't you think?
Swipe the notification from left to right to hide it each time.
Can't turn off the notification pop up if you don't want it..

You asked how, this is how man, there is no other way...
It kind of sucks but that is the design choice, android has an overkill of features, WP7 is minimalistic by design. Too minimalistic for many even.
1. Don't leave your phone lying around people you don't want to see your messages.
2.) Turn airplane mode on when you do leave it around people you don't want reading your sms and manually check for any when you get back to it.
I think number 1 is the easiest, not difficult to put a phone in your pocket, or turn it off if your not taking it out
Stop getting your GF/BF to text you naughtiness when your in the pub!
Buy and android phone if you that worried.

I'm going to be blunt here and say straight up that I don't remember how my phone used to answer phone calls......I know that sounds stupid but I literally do not know if I slid to answer, or pushed a button, or what....but here's my problem:
As of right now, if someone calls my phone while the screen is off, it will pop up with answer and ignore buttons. This has enabled me to "pocket answer" twice today, because when I try to get my phone out of my pocket, one of my fingers hits "answer" .......... surely it wasn't like this before? I have never had this issue.
How does a stock atrix handle calls when the screen is off? How do I get it back to the way it was? I feel like a full-retard for not knowing what it used to look like, but I cannot remember!
Call screen pops up with sliders. Remains locked afterwards. So you can answer calls without unlocking your phone. If you are managing to stroke the sliders in your pocket, who knows whats going on in there!
My phone has had sliders for answering/ignoring calls since I bought it on 4.1.26.
Do you have your phone set to auto answer? Settings, call settings, auto answer.
If the screen is on and a call comes in you should see "answer" and "ignore" buttons. If the screen is off and a call comes in you should see slide to unlock buttons for "answer" and "ignore". I don't think there's any setting to toggle to enable/disable the s2u for answer/ignore.
When you wake your phone do you see a slide to unlock screen or does it just go straight to the phone home screen? I had this happen to me and a factory reset fixed that up.

LOL! Well that's the thing, right now it doesn't have sliders, it acts like the phone was in use when the call comes through, I get the same UI, the answer and ignore buttons at the bottom...no sliders.....
how do I get my sliders back? I am using widgetlocker for my lockscreen.

disable widgetlocker and see if you still get the problem behavior. Here's an old thread describing your exact problem with widgetlocker being the culprit. It's over a year old so I would have thought it would be fixed by now. dunno.

It was indeed widgetlocker's fault. That makes me sad why would it change all of a sudden?
Yeah i had that problem with widget locker as well when i set the setting to disable all default lock screen. I was hoping they'd have this fixed by now...

I'm assuming widgetlocker was fine and dandy before the 2.3.4 OTA update right? Anytime there's a major release level update, e.g. 2.2.2->2.3.X, lots of things can go bonkers for 3rd party apps. Some things can break even with a minor release update, 2.2.1->2.2.2, but it's not as likely. It's just how it is in the world of software. fun huh?

I'm still on 2.2.2, I have another thread asking about updating hehe
oh . Well anyways you can always send an email to the widgetlocker dev(s). They probably already know about the issue but it doesn't hurt to send them a nice email about the problem.
Hello. I'm opening this thread so everyone can tell little things that don't like, or want to be changed on our Neo-v, so developers can "make our wishes" true...
Thread will be daily updated...
CALLING
1.speed dialing - I wondering how its possible that modern phone doesn't have it??? There R 2 ways - first looong press on number or click on one number and then "dial"... These have a praistorical phones...
2.End call lock screen-(incoming) I notice that when I end my talking, screen locked it self...Even if dont answer or refuse call so I must unlock and then see missed call...
3.Call log-shows one same call-er in loooong list...is it better to show just last with options to show call history for that number
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
CAMERA
Need a lot of work on drivers...its just not that picture quality it has to be...
1.white balance -too much white on factory settings that make noise in artificially conditions (in house at night)
2.NO BEST PIC Great and very usefull shot-mode for driving of SE, so why they missed it in xperia models
3.Violet noise Sometimes i see this "ghost" when autofocus on lower light when there is a lite source at side of phone during picturing
MESSAGES
1.Message details - dont understand why we can't see detailes like sent time and recieved time...That what old SE phones has...So when I recieve sms, I cannot see when is send to me, just time when I recieved it...is it so hard to pu it...
VOICE RECIRDER
Am I stupid or I can't find this or is it POSSIBLE that modern phone doesn't have it????
MULTITASKING -
Phone dont have minimaze options, some app's stay but some not in ram after press midle botton...So I use Advanced task killer to get back to my working app's...
Regarding multitasking: have you tried long pressing the HOME (middle) button?
You will see the 8 last started application, and you can easily switch to them. Note that they might have been removed from the memory, but some apps can still restart into the same state.
Totally agree with u on speed dialing and call log.
Use handcent sms...its great replacement for the stock messaging app
About sound recorder, i can see that in manage applications under 'all' but yes its missing in app drawer..i dont know how to launch app from there.
I think notification led is at silly place..

Hmmm...For me it has to be the speed dial and call logs.
Sup everyone,
Loving the GS3 so far. Whole new experience after using iPhone for yrs. I have a couple questions.
1. Sending a long text ends up as being a MMS(stupid). Is there anyway to split the texts? My brother owns a HTC ONE X and when he sends a long text it gets sent in separate messages?
2. Whilst being on the phone, if I receive a call(call waiting) or text message or even press buttons the other person can hear it all down the phone. Is there a way to disable this?
3. I have taken off auto brightness. Now when I'm in the home screen/menu the phone is nice and bright (I have it set to maximum brightness). However if Into browse the screen goes really dimm to a point where I can't see. I even try tapping the screen it doesn't go bright unless I go back into the home screen?
Will appreciate the replies. Thanks

I wasn't sure but if you meant when you launch the "web browser" the screen goes dim then I would check the brightness settings of the browser. If this is anything like my old Note there was a seperate brightness setting tied to the browser itself.

Whenever I receive new message/whatsapp/email/facebook/etc., my screen doesn't lights up to show me the notifications but it only makes the notification sound. Is there any way to turn on the screen when notification received?

It' s not an iPhone that's the reason why you have a notification light BTW it saves battery too. What a nonsense to turn the screen on each time you get a notification. Are iPhones still do that? I don't think that stock sense can do that.

Cool app and works similar to bitesms on iPhone jailbroken app. Only good thing though is the quick reply but imo the graphics on this make it look way out of date compared to the stock messenger. Only thing I don't like is when in your pocket you can accidentally hit reply and have issues if u know what I mean. Great alternative though for the few people that can't live without the screen turning on with a new text, lol. Personally I like it the way it is, does save some unneeded screen time and no possible way to case accidental responses. But if u just stare at ur device all day waiting for a text to appear, I can see the appeal, lol.
is there any other method to pop the screen?
i have been using the power button to pop the screen, is there any other alternative method?

The incoming calls give me two options to receive.
For some calls, the phone shows the SWIPE option, and other times just to TOUCH the green or red buttons.
Why so? Is it normal?
Is there way I could disable the swipe option and keep the simple touch option?
Thanks

hmm not exactly a solution ... but seems if the screen is locked its the swipe.. and if not its the touch option ..... just to zero in on your problem....
As above. No way to change it. If the screen is locked, you have to swype. If the screen is unlocked, then it's just press to answer.
Reason being, if your phone is in your pocket, it cannot be accidentally answered without performing the swype action.

Well understood !
Thanks a lot mate.
this is really bad user experience, especially for older person.
EMUI sucks. And basic android also. I cannot believe the operating system still does not let user increase size of icons ( like windows does). Nokia was 10 times better ( before microsoft took over) at user experience, but they missed the smart phone wagon
Maybe you should sit and write new OS and share it to world
