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

Yes just look in settings under sound. Also when you long press on home screen.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

On your phone to go: Menu, Settings, Personalize (or hit the Personalize button from the home screen).
At the bottom, where it says "Personalize Sound", hit "Notification Sound"
On this menu you can set the sounds for the following notifications:
Default Notification
Message
Calendar
Email
Hope that helps.

Gmail Notification Using Ringtone When Set to Silent

Hi, I have a Gmail account setup on my GN, which is set to show a notification icon, but the notification sound is set to silent. Even so, when I get an email it sounds my ringtone (not even my default notification sound!).
The only way to stop this is to turn off new mail notifications completely, which means I don't even get an icon, so I'm constantly opening my gmail to see if I've received anything.
Does anyone else have this problem, or am I doing something wrong?

Hi, I have been trying to do the same thing but no luck. How did you turn off the gmail sound notifications in the first place? I looked everywhere.
By the way there must be a way we can control all the incoming notifications. I would like them to be displaying but silently. How is this achievable?

Hi, I thought this thread had been forgotten about!
I bodged mine in the end, thus:
1. Go to gmail and use the menu to go to 'settings',
2. Select the email address you want to configure,
3. Tick the email notifications checkbox,
4. Tap 'Ringtones & Vibrate',
5. Select silent for ringtone and vibrate only in silent mode.
(now the bodge)
6. Go to the phone settings screen and select 'Sound',
7. Set vibrate to never.
Told you it was a bodge! If you find a better way, please let me know

Anyone having a problem with alerts not showing on the Max 3?

I'm not getting the red dot appearing on any apps.
So the texting app has (on all other handsets) shown a red dot in the corner when there's an unread text. That's not happening here?
I've moved from MIUI to Nova launcher and still the same? Nothing on the built in messaging app or any other texting app?
I am getting a sound alert on incoming texts and emails, but nothing else. So I have to go and look in both the email and text apps to see if anything new is there!
Only had the phone 2 days so could be missing something??
It's the global version running MIUI version 9.6.6.0. Its the 4/65 model.
Thanks for any help...

You have to do three things in the app info section of each app you want notifications for:
1) Hold the app (Nova Launcher allows this), click app info. Turn on Auto Start.
2) Then, go to battery optimization below it and click no restrictions.
3) Then, go to notifications in the same area, customize with led notification, vibrate etc.
4) If the above three still don't allow it to work, then you must also lock the app in recents (lower right menu button), hold the app and lock it.

Having same problem. No tone. Just icon ontop. App is not sleeping or restricted at all

It is not a perfect solution but use the Edge Lighting. It will light up the entire edges green if you choose applications colour and show a popup with the message which can be interacted with. As an addition you can turn AOD on and it will show an icon with the notification.
