Hide SMS Notification

I'm sure there is a hack to hide the pop up notification which is displayed for about 5 secs when you receive a message
It's a bit embarrasing if you have the phone on the dashboard for satnav and then a private text is summarised as it arrives
All i want is the incoming tone and symbol - not the message sender and text displayed

Hide SMS notification
To hide the pop up notification:-
go to start, then settings, then click on sounds & notifications,
from the events dropdown list pick Messaging: New Test Message,
then just tick or untick display message on screen!
also has options for playing sounds and a flashing notification light.
Hope this helps, 1st time i have replied to anyone on this forum

Thanks Wooley - never noticed it there !!! All done now

Has anyone a solution to disable email notifications that works?

I have tried the solutions that came up here on a search but none of them work. How ******g hard can it be to stop notifications popping up every 5 ******g minutes??????
I am using Microsoft's own piece of ***t software and, for reasons I won't go into now, I am going to continue using it so solutions, and not recommendations to use other programs, would be extremely well received.
Many thanks

Have you tried Settings | Sounds & Notifications | Notifications and ticking/unticking the desired options for messages?

I have the same problem. I'd love to hear from someone who has actually solved this problem.

Sorry all, but I am confused.
I dont have the popup.
Start - Settings - Sound and Notifications - Notifications Tab, Messaging: New Email message.
Took the ticks out of:
Play Sound
Display Message on screen,
Flash Light
Vibrate
All I get now is a notification on the HTC Home Plugin:
Using toms B&B 4.2, and email through an exchange server.

Hi! I'm using Tom's 4.2 with an Exchange server too. And of course I disabled everything as you suggest. What I get is:
- on HTC home, the count of unread messages.
- an "unread" email icon on the top bar
- a "Notifications" text in the left soft button
- when I click it, a popup appears reminding me I've unread messages, and I have to dismiss it.
All of this is overkill for me. And except the HTC home bit, it's all in the original ROM too, so it's a WM thing, unrelated to Tom's ROM.
What I want is:
- only the unread count in HTC home.
- if it can't be removed, I'd settle for the top bar icon too
- NO notifications about unread email. Save the notifications only for the urgent stuff. I don't want to have to dismiss the popup before I can use my left soft button for other more productive things.
I hope that clears it

facebook messages

Ok so I only did a quick search so if I missed it I am sorry... My question is my phone keeps my facebook status as online (which I don't mind) but occasionally people will send me a chat message and it will show that in the notification bar but it doesn't make any noise or alerts when it does so that message may be sitting there for awhile until I look at my phone again. Is there any settings to make it so a ringtone or sound will go off when that facebook chat message notification is there (like similar to the email notification)?
Edit: Sorry i'm really lame... I knew I should have just dinked around with it before posting this... I just opened up the settings in the facebook app and found that the notification ringtone was set to silent so Mod can delete the thread if you need to.

[Q] Display messages in lock screen despite having notifications disabled?

Hi there.
Using Handcent SMS, I've disabled the news message notifications in the builtin messaging app.
With that, I lost the message preview in the ring lockscreen, obviously.
Is there any way to have both?
Meaning, having the messages previewed in the lockscreen AND not be bothered by double message notifications? (one for Handcent, one for stock app)?

annoying notification and badges problem

4.1.1
when i receive sms or miss call - i see it in the notification panel, but when i swipe it- it does not clear as read and it still provide badges
is this "OS thing" or is there a way so that if i swipe left/right a sms or miss call, it does not put badges in my sms or phone icon
different topic - sms app
one time i saw an app that display all my text history merge with the caller's info
this way when i talk to someone, i can also see what we been texting about
