SMS showing on lock screen

Is there anyway to remove this & the missed calls? Kind of hte purpose of locking the phone ya know...

Yeah, exactly what I thought!

If you use Handcent SMS, which is much better than the stock app imo, you can enable, disable popup over the lock screen.
You can also tell it to show the popup so you can see who its from but not show the text contents.

i actually think that option is quite useful, being able to see if you have new mssages with one click

I like it alot too, i can see if it's worth unlocking the phone accoring th who did the missed call/sms or mail. It's the main reason why i like senses lock screen over androids stock!

Sense lock screen? How do I enable that....This is my 1st android phone so i know nothing about the OS

if only it did it for emails too!

I realize it has been a while but no body came up with a solution.
I'm don't like the fact that anyone who picks up my phone can see the actual text message on my screen. Having the sms icon on the notification bar is enough, is there way to remove the text from the lockscreen?

Use pattern lock?

Even when using pattern lock, when you wake the phone you will first see HTC lockscreen. So it doesn't help...

No solution to this? It is the most annoying thing. I can not believe that there is no options to disable sms preview on the lock screen. I would make great donation for someone who can fix this

Buy widget locker from market. It replaces the while lock screen with a customizable one

I see no reason why its causing problem. Its only showing a little right?

yeah, it only shows the number (or name) and some words of the message (maybe the first 3?), not more. Don't see where it is such a huuuuuge problem or is your phone always in other people's hands?

well 3 words can make a huge problem, and yes my phone is very often in other people hands But I found a solution. with chomp sms there is a setting which disable this notifications...It is pain in the ass to use two different sms clients but it is better than nothing.

Well I guess a small option could've been included, but I can't see any real issue here really. Every tentht user here doesn't have a Facebook with hundreds of unnecessary people who can take participation in your private lives, and it is not considered a privacy issue, but three small words and a name on a lock screen are??
The real issue here is that your phone should be holstered in your pocket when not used, and not in other people's hands.

well IMO, the issue here is that, when you use a different app from stock one, the unread SMS count does not disappear when you read messages with a non stock app...
That's annoying!

[Q] SMS notification on lock screen?

So I picked up a G2 to replace my Iphone 2G, which I've had since the thing came out some four years ago. I've gotten used to my screen lighting up and showing me new text messages on the lock screen, and this feature doesn't exist as far as I can tell on the G2. When I receive a text, it vibrates and plays my notification sound, and the touchpad light blinks periodically. What I would prefer, if the phone is sitting next to me on my desk, would be for it to light up and show me the text and who sent it like the Iphone does so I don't have to unlock the phone and open the messaging app just to see if it's important.
I bought widget locker so I could customize my lock screen a bit, so I suppose if there were a widget for that, I could just toss it on there? Does anyone know of this type of widget? How would I have it turn on the screen for a few seconds when I receive a text? Is this even possible?
Otherwise, I love this phone. Android does so many amazing things. It's like having a computer in my pocket!

SMS Popup Works Well For Me You Can Find It In The Market

Getting screen notification when the screen is locked

Is there an app that can display notifications and turn on the backlight when a SMS or Email comes in - When the phone is locked?
Every time a message comes in, I have to press the power button, put in my passcode, and go to the message just to see what it is.
It would be nice to get a Pop-up on the screen with most of the info

For previous Samsungs, there was an app called NoLED, which would light up the screen for notifications. You can see how that is developing for the Nexus.

NoLed works. I use it and light flow together. I never miss a notification now

You may want to try smspopup. It displays a popup when you receive a text message..
However, I'm not sure if it will display over the lock screen when you have a passcode enabled. However, it has a ton of options for managing the popup when locked, so you may want to check it out.

Does NoLed need root? :>

I did a little digging around and found NotifierPro to work best for me.

[Q] LED customization app/Mod

I am wanting an app, that can customise teh colour of the LED for different notifications as well as turn them off when im asleep. I have seen an app called lightflow, is this the best app for the job?

I use lightflow and for me its perfect!

Nice
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

LightFlow is the best app ever!
You can set led color, frequency, speed, vibration and many more for every apps, for all notifications you need.
Buy PRO version because FREE version don't allow you to use LightFlow for every app, but it works only with a little number of apps...

Does anyone get the issue when using lightflow where the phone speaks to you??. Even if you disable all notifications on the accessibility screen, you still get the voice speaking.
Theres a big thread over on the lightflow devs website...seems like its a bug with ICS.
SAdly i bought it but have uninstalled it as it wont work unless you turn your sound off and personally i dont like my phone talking to me lol.

Yes!!! It took me forever to figure out why it would say Folder is open or Folder is closed, anytime I would open a folder on the home screen.

its a well know bug, coder is working to fix it

Unfortunately I was having problems with lightflow; sometimes the LED notification was not stopping regardless of what I did, until a reboot. The talk back thing I got rid of by not having accessibility checked within the phone settings. Sometimes the LED want activating either.
Most promising looking app though.

I also bought the pro. But I get the same issues with the led not stopping blinking. If I swipe a notification to get rid of it and don't actually view it the led just keeps on flashing. I think you press the clear button it works, but as a whole there needs to be some improvements in this app before I use it, all I really wanted was to turn off the led at night! It wakes me up. Too bright ha

Yeah, pressing clear, or entering the app and viewing the message doesn't clear the led for me. The only thing that works is rebooting. But I'm going back to handcent for my messaging and since the pro version supports it I've purchased it too. I just love having the led's for at work, where I sometimes can't hear my phone, but they have to be off at night. I can't believe that a little flashing light can be so annoying at night!

At night you can enable the "sleep setting" under settings, than it wont blink.
Go to Notifications/*AppName*/Clear notification style and select "Screen on", than it will stop blinking after you turned on the screen.
Sorry for my bad english, hope you understand me

Sigh, for some reason this app doesn't work on my SGH-I747. I mean it does work but it doesn't show up the right colors that I've set up. For example: I choose the missed calls' color as red, but it shows up as blue and the rest are messed up too. Does anyone have the same problem?

The talking phone is very annoying, and i also experience the big orange square when you click on browser that mess my surfing xperience. I hope im not the only one

[APP]AMOLED Notification Light "NotifyBuddy"

So I was annoyed not having an LED notification light on oneplus 6t so I tried to make one of my own.
As OP6T has amoled display whenever a desired notification comes the app brings in a black screen with notification LED looking animation.
Though this is tested on OP6T, it should be working for most Android Oreo and later phones.
If not working for your phone, I'll suggest you to send me logs at [email protected]
To use it:
Install App.
Disable any battery optimisation for the app.
Give notification access permission.
Give full screen permission(if any required for your phone)
Select apps you want notifications for, by choosing a color (Only apps you set a color to enables LEDs).
Note: On successfully selecting a color for an app the text in which the App name is written should change to that color
Thats it.
For MIUI 11 devices make sure that AutoStart is enabled in App Info. Also check "Show on lock screen" permission in other settings.
Settings image: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1yxrLd5u7kLSGBwviKhXYqM21YLC8Dhiv
Note: To turn off the LED and to unlock phone double tap anywhere on the screen or use power button.
App now available on Play Store, please rate and share if you liked the app.
Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xander.android.notifybuddy
Working Video: https://youtu.be/vFKiHS_ZD-k
See settings for your phone for NotifyBuddy on this link: https://dontkillmyapp.com
If it is not running after various troubleshoot measures, maybe send the logs.
Give your feedback!!

Working great, good job!
What about System Apps (Phone, message etc.) ? I'm not able to find them in your app.
Gmail is missing as well and it is not a system app.
Thanks in advance!

Same here. Also, an off switch for each app would be more convenient instead of picking white colour.
This is just what I needed, works great on my phone. Thank you!

I would consider using this if and when you include system apps. They are the only ones I'm interested in getting notifications from. Thanks for your efforts

Fantastic
Brilliant
Go work for 1+
Show them how to do the job properly

Great start!! works like a charm, agree on the systems apps thing though..

Wow, Great App.:good:
Works Perfect.

@HarshBoy99 Hello! Thank you for the job you''re doing, but if you don't mind, i would like to point some important things.
You'r app uses a black overlay with a colorized dot in the corner, it's cool but there is a but. If The device is in a pocket, and you're using a pocket detection, the screen will turn on and show the pocket detection screen - what kinda annoying issue.
Another moment, again - becauses there is a use of black overlay, when there is already a notification panding and you recieve anothere on, there is a head-up notification with the all status bar info that shows up, again - kinda annoying.
As a recommandation - trigger the built-in AOD app instead of using a black overlay, that will fix the issues i've mentioned above + there will be an option to use fingerprint scanner on notifications.
Wish you the best!

Well I have included pocket detection in app, i.e if the LED is on and the sensor is covered the activity will be stopped. But if you have pocket mode on, it will show you the pocket mode screen for a brief moment and then switch off the display. This will help save battery if phone is in your pocket.
Yeah on that heads-up notification, I haven't found a way to get rid of this but it is only an issue of few seconds.
There are already many apps that bring on the default AOD display but it doesn't feel like an actual LED and moreover we can't change the appearance of AOD as it is a system app.
Thank You!

I wish there is an more option for WhatsApp. I do not want to receive LED from the Watsp group
Thanks

Thanks for the app.
I have a problem in my op6t.
When i use the app and the notification led is on, the unlock button does not works well, i mean, i have to push three or four times.
Sorry about my english, i hope you can understand me. ?

Power button does not wake phone when I receive any app notifications.

I have been using the app for some days now. I have also locked the app in recents to avoid it being killed or stop functioning. But when I get a notification, double tapping doesn't work instantly. Have to tap 4 times at least. Also, on unlocking the phone, I am in the Notify Buddy app instead.

App is great if you don't mind me offering suggestions I have a couple.
The light to move around in intervals across the top of the screen or even the two corners just to prevent possible burn in, say if you get a notification in the middle of the night or something and it blinks for hours on end (I know the chances are slim, but better to be safe than sorry)
Possibly an option to cycle the notification light if you have multiple notifications, so if I have a sms text and a messenger text it would blink once for the sms and once for messenger and cycle between them so I know I have 2 notifications.
An interval setting maybe how fast or slow for it to pulse or to keep it static. (If you choose to make it static warn it could possibly cause burn in)
If it's possible a way to keep the overlay active unless the notification is gone, I tested the app sending myself an sms text just to make sure everything was working I left the notification and the overlay didn't go back to the LED the screen just stayed black. If I'm not mistaken an actual notification light would stay active until the notification for said app was cleared.
That's all I really have for suggestions, I appreciate what you're doing with this app it's honestly the best alternative to any of the apps attempting to replicate a notification LED. I don't want you to think I don't like the app I'm just thinking of how my old phones with notification LED's behaved with notifications. Again thank you for your work and I hope my suggestions were something that could be of use.

Other then waking the phone this app is bloody great ?

Well this was exactly how I wanted for my app to function, but while testing it myself I observed that I had pending notification almost always and it would drain the battery exponentially. Therefore I went with notifying the user only while he is away from phone.
