i thought you could just disable that in the message settings .. i dont have my messages showing up there .. ????

Yeah it would be better if there was a privacy option like on chomp or handcent.

you can disable the notification on the standard messaging app by going in the messaging app, clicking menu and under received messages make sure the recieved notification box is unchecked

Exactly. We just don't want notifications on the locked screen.

Can you turn off notifications in the default, but still use it for messaging, and just use handcent for its notifications?

SteelH pointed this thread out to me before I got my EVO, so I put it on my todo list to look at once I received.
After taking a look at it today, you can certainly remove the notification message at the bottom of the stock lock screen that appears when using the stock messaging app as well.
The only drawback is, if you consider it a drawback, is that you end up removing ALL notifications at the bottom of the lockscreen, such as missed calls, text messages, etc.
If this is still something those who posted in this thread want, let me know, and I can post something up. I'm thinking a MetaMorph is the optimal solution, so as to avoid any other changes that you may have done previously to your HTC Lock Screen.

^ not a drawback at all...
Im interested in what you cook up JS...
thanks in advance

Expandable notifications - not working

One of the new functionalities of Jelly Bean is the expandable notifications.
But this feature is not working on my Galaxy Nexus.
I get the same notifications as in ICS (e.g. when I receive a text message, only 1 line of the message is shown and not the complete message).
Is someone else experiencing this? Or does someone have a solution for this?
Thanks in advance.

Not getting that at all. Are you sure you are using JellyBean? How did you upgrade to the JellyBean update?

This is what they should look like

i think i know what you mean, for me the expandable notification for tunein, mail, mms/sms and created screenshot is gone too
Maybe its cause the update from 4.1 to 4.1.1 but still strange,

Strange ..
The weird part is, I directly got the 4.1.1 update, and the expandable notifications worked in the beginning, but it stopped working all of a sudden ...

ah, i found the reason why the expendable notification disapeared for me.
i've installed an app called Notification Toggle for Quick Settings in Notification Bar. Seems that this and the "Accessibility Settings" for the App disabled the expandable notifications.
Maybe you've also installed a similar app, or its just not the "top" notification as Unlawful has stated

Might be stupid but have you tried using two fingers to 'slide'down/expand the notification. Only the top notification is expanded by default and your top one from the screenshot appears to be Google Now.
Or a third-party application may be disabling expandable notifications as juxli125 has stated.

Pff, I'm stupid. I found why only 1 line was showing. Drag the notification up (only 1 line will show) or down (full notification) with 2 fingers, you will see the result

Some apps spam you with notification ads. Just go through any free apps you've downloaded recently and delete them.
You can also try this to figure out the problem app:

Did you delete any free apps you've downloaded since the problem first started?
Crazy Grandpa is made by Crazy Game, and their other app is Bubble Shooter.
Bubble Defence is made by ICLOUDZONE INC, who make Death Moto, Speed Night and Pool Master.
Any of those sound familar?

I had this problem before - in my case it was a battery icon.
Here is how I figured out what it was:
I believe you need a rooted phone.
1) download and run a terminal monitor program (I use 'terminal monitor')
within terminal monitor do:
2) su (this makes you root)
3) dumpsys notification (this shows you all packages showing notifications).
Assume a package is called com.take.that.hah
you can find the program name by going to:
h
ttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.take.that.hah
Go through and start uninstalling programs till you find the correct one.

Try to long tap on that notification, there u will have a pop up with "app info", tap it and un check the notifications settings there.

Correct me if I'm wrong but can't you simply click and hold the notification until the app info box appears just under your finger. Then click the box and it'll show you the app that sent the notification within the application manager. From here you can disable notifications from this app (to keep the app) or uninstall.

You are correct but i need to elaborate:
You can't click the icon in the notification bar.
What you can click and hold is the notification bar in the notification area. i.e. when you expand the notification bar.
I see now that my case was a special case - a notification icon (a battery meter) that had no bar in the notification drop down bar.
This also happens when you run a program and it has an icon to prevent the program getting killed. (tasker does this, for example)

There is something in the notification dropdown box - a borderless black rectangle, so I didn't even know it was there.

root your phone, then install adaway. open adaway and enable it. reboot phone and your problem will be gone. ..

How do I get my notifications like this:

Here's what I want:
Phone gives no sounds or vibrations unless my FAVORITES call me. When they call me the phone VIBRATES only. No sound.
For all other notifications (texts, 3rd party notifications, emails, etc...) I want the LED to pulse. But the phone won't make a sound or vibrate. Then when I wake my screen, I see the notifications on my screen.
Right now I have it on priority only with CALLS from favorites only coming through. Volume all the way off and set to vibrate only. The LED pulses when I get texts, emails, etc. but I do not see the notifications on the lockscreen when I wake the phone. I did for awhile and I must have changed some setting because now they are not there. So I'll see the pulse, then I have to unlock it and the status bar shows the notification symbol for text, email etc..
Any help?

I still don't know how to get the notifications to show on the lock screen though when it's set to that priority. They were showing up previously but I messed with settings and something went awry.

If you go to your Interruptions setting, you can choose which notifications to display. Or long press the icon in your notification tray.

Might you have possibly set it to "sensitive"? That doesn't seem like the behavior you're looking for, though, unless I'm misunderstanding you, Gzan23.

I thought this was standard Lollipop procedure, but maybe I'm remembering things differently. It's under Sound & Notification; Notifications; Apps; and you pick the app you want to modify.

Weird notification UI changes in Android 11/OneUI 3.0 update.

I've been working with the new update the last few days, and noticed some odd changes made by Samsung.
Most annoying is this huge gap between my toggles and brightness slider/notifications. I have disabled the media controls and have no background apps running.
I think they attempted to make notifications easier to access for one hand operation, but we need a way to change this! Or give me the option to add all of my toggles into the gap!

I think it's the place for "Device and Media buttons". Try to activate in "Quick panel layout". There's "Show device and media buttons above notification" option. Maybe on then off.

I don´t have that gap in my Note 10+. Just below the 6 icons I have the brightness slider. Weird.

No gap here either.

I have similar problem. Only that i have a problem with whole screen notification window even though it is empty.

That usually happen when no factory format is made between hard UI changes.
The objects and placeholders stay there even though they are empty. Have you tried a factory reset after UI3 update?
That also happened on KITKAT to Marshmellow and was a usual issue when the update wasn't factory reset afterwards.
The UI would update and new elements were put in place but the old ones would still be there and originated large gaps or invisible toggles.
