New message notifications in status bar - PRIVACY? - HTC One X

Hi,
I'm using stock ROM and stock messaging app and have selected in the options not to display the name or content if new messages in status bar but it doesn't work and still displays it!!
Any ideas please?

Is it any surprise I'm getting rid of my one x literally less than one week after buying...have been quite disappointed with the one x and 52 people read this without any response or confirm if they have a similar issue or not...it would have took 30-60 seconds!
Should have stuck to Samsung's...we'll unfortunately I've already sold my s2 so i guess it'll have to be the new beast s3...
Thanks to those a few that did help on a few things but generally the one x forum is a little cold for me compared to the Samsung just like the HTC phones!

The problem you posted is a little obscure, I've not seen it mentioned in any other threads, perhaps nobody has come across the same issue yet? If people don't know what the answer is then they won't post. The fact that it had so many views and not one response suggests that this is the case and it's not a case of the forum posters ignoring you.

Are you talking about the option Messages--->Menu--->Settings--->Notifications-->Notification Preview, untick the option but the message will still be shown if you pull down the status bar??
From testing on my phone, when you untick the option, and get a text message...I get no preview on the lock screen, the message icon on the status bar (with no preview) but the message is there when you pull down the status bar. To truly get rid of it (no message in the pull down status bar) is to disable Received Notifications but that's counter productive as you get no alerts!
I will test on my Xperia Arc (when I get home from work) and see if it does the same (I have a funny feeling that it will do the same)
I beleive it maybe a generic Andorid thing in terms of messages appering on the pull down status bar (perhaps the more experienced guys and clarify)

Hi thanks that's correct...i still see the preview when you don't with the same settings!

It's not that no one has anything to say, it's that no one actually cares about the preview - it's MY phone so I want to see the messages. Do you share your phone? If not, it's a complete non-issue IMO

Thanks but i would expect the phone to behave according to the settings!

So you still see the preview on your lockscreen? Or in the status bar? Because that setting doesn't change the status bar preview, just the lockscreen one. But if in the Personalize settings you have the lockscreen type set to notifications preview, it'll show regardless of the messaging settings.

Use GO SMS Pro or Pansi SMS from the Play Store. They're far better then the default SMS app anyway, you'll find many more actually useful options along with your privacy setting, and they also have individual settings for specific contacts, so you can choose only messages from a certain contact to not show in the status bar, if that matters. Works both while using the phone and in the lock screen. The individual settings feature is included with GO SMS and is a plugin for Pansi SMS.
And don't be so impatient. It's not that everyone who reads a thread has to have an answer and reply. Don't go by how many views the thread has got and wait a day or two. There have been so many threads I've read for which I don't have an answer. It's not that people don't care, they'll most certainly help if they know how or have experienced the same thing. Almost everything can be solved, being impatient won't help. Similarly, why would you want to be hasty and get rid of such an awesome phone, that too over such a tiny issue? IMO, phones should only be returned if there's a problem hardware-wise. Not because of app-related problems or operating system problems. There is almost always an (often better) alternative for these things (apps & ROMs).

Hello, problem will remain if he keeps the stock app.
I had two notifications using handcent SMS.
I had to disable the notification from the stock app and only activate handcent notifications and it works perfectly now.
But the stock app is always living by its own without notifying me anything.
You have different notifications : mails, SMS, facebook, twitter, etc.
Which ones are still remaining ? SMS ? Mail ?
And then you also have the reports from sending SMS, this should be also disabled
or you will have receive reports for each SMS you send ...

iOS-Like LockScreen Notifications

Is there anyway to get notifications to show up on CM7's lockscreen (like "Text Message: John Doe")? Or how it is now in iOS5, where you can slide to unlock into that app? Please help!
If you have Widget Locker you can set custom unlock sliders that open into a user defined app.

I want something, like the iOS ones :/
You can use Missedit on Widgetlocker, and it will let you know that you have a missed text, call, email or calender event and by pressing on the notification it will open the app.
It can also be hidden so that it only appears when you have missed something.
Just use gosms or handcent and have the notifications turn the screen on

How do you set it up to only show when you missed something??

I have MissedIt! on my phone (running CM7), how do I configure it to show me texts and such?
Not sure with cm7. I think missed it only shows the number of missed. I know certain lockscreens on miu rom will show the actual message.

What script do I need it to run, so it'll atleast show me the notification.
Download SMSpopup.
You're welcome.

Working on this (see goo.gl/JFTyk) as a personal project. So far displays SMS and missed calls accurately. Using Widget Locker to display the transparent widget on the lock screen. Still need to figure how to swipe an individual notification to open into it.
Can I test that out? It's exactly what I need!
Here's the APK of my alpha release (goo.gl/OFE5v). It won't let you open the notification from the lock screen yet. I'll probably get that working over the weekend (swiping does not appear to be possible in widgets, I'm thinking double-tap). I'll probably make some UI tweaks, and add calendar events as well.
My next release will probably be on the Android Market, and for free since it sure as hell hasn't been tested on any phone other than mine.
MIUI has plenty of iphone lockscreen clones.
@mmrussell Thanks alot; let me know when you're going to put it on the Market, I'll look forward to it!
@sjpritch25 I used to use MIUI, but I just prefer CM7.
This would definitely be nice... My guess is we'll have to wait a few months for CyanogenMod to release Android 4.0 and it'll have most of this stuff. I doubt anything as good as iOS5 lock screen will be out sooner.

Voice mail notification icon

Hi, is there a way to get bigger voice mail notification on the screen?
I only get a very small icon on the left top notification bar that is very similar to the email notification. I looked everywhere on the phone settings but i got nothing.
Coming from the HCT sensation where you get a huge notification on the diplay this is just annoying....
Thanks in advance
I have known none. Maybe Samsung does not have it.
Someone would have to code it into the system. Other then that the android on the s2 is stock with touchwiz added, which means only small icons in the top for alerts.
"Missed It!" widget. make it as big as you like.

SMS and Calendar Popup Notification while locked

I use my GNex as my primary workhouse. The ONLY thing it doesnt do that I would love (and honestly, I need it) is for a lockscreen notification for my calendars and maybe even SMS.
When my screen is locked, I get the vibration/sound but I really would like it to light up the screen and show a popup notification (aka iPhones)
How can I get this? I suspect an App won't do? Do any ROM's support this (AOKP?)
Does such a thing exist?
For text messages, check out SMS popup - not sure if it works on a lockscreen or not but seems to be a solid app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.everythingandroid.smspopup&hl=en
Use Notifierpro

Lockscreen notifications
Hi.
Nicolas from Productigeeky here, creator of NotifierPro.
To get lockscreen notifications, you may want to try our last app LockerPro Lockscreen.
This is a lockscreen replacement with stacking notifications.

[Solved][CM10] Ehnhanced Notifications Disabled

Hello everyone
I've switched from CM7 on my old Nexus One to Galaxy Nexus and CM9, which was updated later to CM10.
I know everyone will tell me I've done a wrong thing, but I restored my whole phone apps/configuration from my old phone using TitaniumBackup: I have to say except for 1-2 apps, it worked just as I wished.
After few days of CM10 and watching other phones around me, I found out that Enhanced Notifications are already enabled in the nightlies, but they seem to be disabled on mine!
At this point I'm looking for some advice for enabling this feature. For sure, factory reset is the fastest option, but I will forget about the enhanced notifications rather than going through the whole factory reset thing.
I really don't need the full instructions here. A very brief hint can do the trick for me.
Thanks
Is it a specific to any one app or all of them? Because not many apps actually support enhanced notifications yet. Gmail is one that does.

Honestly, I never had the enhancements on my phone, so I don't know for sure on which apps they should appear.
Gmail gives long notifications (some content of the email), but no buttons. I think this is it for now.
But for missed calls for example, there should be some buttons, which are missing.
You mean the issue refers to phone app? nice idea. but I don't know whether phone app is not sending them, or notification bar doesn't receive.
Can you introduce me some app with the same feature support, so I can test?

Gmail isn't supposed to have buttons, just long message preview. The expanded notifications aren't always expanded. Drag down on it with 2 fingers. It should have buttons for a missed call.
Easiest way to check expandable notifications is to take a screenshot.
It's a huge shame for me that I didn't know this double finger trick.
thanks a lot

By the way: the notifications are never expanded on my phone. How can I change the default settings?

I think it just depends on if you've got other notifications already showing. If you've got none it should default to expanded.

Notification bar

Hi.for some reason on my phone I don't get any notifications apart from missed calls and msgs.but the strange thing is my partner will get stuff like eBay,facebook,etc.but when she gets them it's like a preview of every thing if that makes sense
What I mean is if u go to messages,settings,notifications,preview message in notification bar.and all her facebook and everything else she uses all come up as a preview on there.
I've checked all obvious things in settings on both devices and can't find anything no different and also been in the separate apps and checked all notifications are on
This is really bugging me so if any one can please share their thoughts
