How are SMS notifications displayed in ICS? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've put ICS on my developer phone to play about with (not the Nexus) and I was wondering how it looks to people when they get an SMS message.
After coming across this screenshot, I thought that when you got a text, the contact picture of your friend would be displayed at the left, as is the case for Andy Rubin at the bottom.
However, I find mine are displayed like Hiroshi Lockheimer, with just the icon on a patterned background.
I really like the little contact picture, so is it displayed this way on the Nexus S or is there a way to turn it on? Why would Google show 2 different things in their screenshots?
Cheers.

Mine looks like the one with Hiroshi too. This person has a picture in my contacts as well. I didn't test it with her GoogleChat.

Same here, I get the sms icon, no contact pictures. Same for google talk. And I was wondering if this feature didn't make it in the release.

Thanks for checking that out for me! It's odd because I have a picture set too but mine displays the same...I'd have thought it would display the contact photo.
As far as I can see from that screenshot, Hiroshi and Andy are both texts? Maybe it's a third party app...does Handcent do that maybe?

Talk displayed the default picture. Could be my slow connection? Then when I clicked the notification it showed her picture.

Has anyone got the picture displayed for SMS notifications? It seems like a cool feature.

Same thing happens with my Nexus S too....tried multiple AOSP builds of ICS and the official release and still no contact pictures in the sms notifications It does show for gtalk notifications though. I have tried searching for a fix but haven't found anything yet.

[Q] Can't See Text In An MMS Slideshow

Anytime I send or receive a picture with text from my Droid Mini on stock Android 4.4 rooted (I've had this issue since I got the phone brand new from Verizon) in the stock messaging app, it makes it a slideshow, and the text is placed at the top cut off by the picture so I can't see it, and there's no way to see the text that I've found. I've tried tapping the picture and pausing, running the slideshow out doesn't show the text, when sending, I've tried putting the text in first then picture and vice-versa...all to the same result. The only available option is selecting whether the text is on the top or bottom but that doesn't change anything. Attaching a couple screenshots to help make my point and I would appreciate any input on a solution because this is quite annoying. And I don't want to use a 3rd party app.

[Q] Small unread notification counts..

Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
I have small and pix-elated unread count notifications on any app that shows them..
Facebook, Messages, Gmail etc.
You can see it on the Facebook icon below.
Seems to come and go, don't know what's causing it.
You must have some kind of notification app installed, my stock unread number is round. We need a little more information about your set-up
Mine is also round also, it sometimes just gets all crazy like this...I'll have to see if I have anything changing notifications, but this is a replacement phone I just received Saturday...It happened on my old one also. The only thing I can think of that I have installed on both is xposed and a few modules. I'll take a look at them.
Thanks
That may be what the cause is.

Notifications don't show correctly

Hi xda,
i'm having this problem since I got my Oneplus One in October 2014.
My notifications don't show correctly like you can see in the pictures attached. This only happens when i have notifications from multiple apps and it even happens in the popup notifications.
Let's say i have one notification but with multiple "entries" (e.g. 5 Whatsapp messages from the same person). The notification is automatically in "expanded mode". Now i get a notification from another app, and all notifications shrink to the size of a "not in expanded mode"-notification and they somehow screw up like in the pictures.
Does anybody else have this problem? I'm on 05Q, but as i said, this problem isn't ROM depend as far as i know. It isn't theme dependent either, as i've already tried it with different/no themes applied. I hope you can help me
Best regards, bannix
edit: huh, I forgot to link the images:
Normal

How Can I get rid of new pop-up notifications?

I am currently using Galaxy S9 Plus on Verizon and with Apex launcher. From the last week, when I get a text message or a new message in Facebook Messenger I don't just get a notification in the bar at the top, but an actual pop-up that comes up over the top of anything else and goes all the way across the top of the screen and about three quarters of an inch tall. It stays up for four or five seconds before going away. As you can see this is pretty annoying and I have tried to control it but I can find no setting regarding this matter. It does not seem to be app specific as it comes up with texts, voice mail notifications, Facebook messenger message notifications and maybe others. Does anyone know how to get rid of these and have just the normal notifications?

Question Notifications help with S22 Ultra

Hello everybody,
I got my device yesterday and i am still trying to sort things and settle down.
I have one question which is driving me nuts.
In my previous phones (latest being OnePlus 6t), i could make the apps (such as instagram and WhatsApp) not to show the message but only the notification badge and how many things i am missing (such as 2 messages, 2 chats or 2 messages 1 chat).
On S22 Ultra, i can hide the context on AOD but the context is always seen on while the phone is unlocked/on homescreen.
Would appreciate if you can help me solve this issue.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Press the notification till you see "settings" menu. Select the notification type you want (push the text, for ex. "new messages for sim 1") Than select "silent" and enable app icon badges. You should be ok.
Nope didn't work. Still can see the message there.
In Settings>Notifications> Lock screen (Display), do you have 'hide content' set?

Nope,
This was how my old phones used to act;
If the screen was off, it would wake briefly, show the whatsapp icon and go back to turned off screen.
On the lock screen, when i wake the phone, it would show the whatsapp icon and that is all.
On home screen, when i scroll down, it would show whatsapp icon and number of chats and messages but not the details of the messages (like 2 chats, 3 messages).
But wouldn"t give details like "Nicole: How are you doing"
My new S22 Ultra acts like below;
On lock screen, it acts correct. Only whatsapp image pops when i receive a message.
When it is awake and when it is on home screen, it pops the whole message for me to read. And when i pull down the notification pane, the whole message is there for me to read.
I have fingerprint activated on my whatsapp.
Now, if anybody can read and reply to the whatsapp message by pulling down the notification menu, what the hell is the reason of a fingerprint layer on whatsapp entry...
They can simple send one message to me and they can see whole of the newly received messages.
As well as, this causes the above mentioned issue. Where people can read delicate messages when i am showing something else in a different app...

Yes i do.
That hides it only when phone is locked.
Let me try to post some pics of what i am trying to explain.
Alright got the pics.
At first, you can see the lock screen acts as it should. Doesn't show the context/content
But on the second screen, where it is notification menu scrolled down, the message can be read.
And the same happens if i am doing something with the phone when the message is received.
So, people looking at my screen can see the message.
Please also note fingerprint login is also enabled for my whatsapp. So this totaly kills the point of fingerprint log in.
And when i figure this out, i will also need to hide other notifications as well.
When i receive an email, i will show how it was on my other phone's notification panel.
Since whatsapp doesn't allow multiple devices at once (cellular) i can't show with whatsapp message.
I hope this gives a general idea of what i am trying to sort out.
And here how it was on my old phone. It shows content hidden on notification menu for the apps i have closed preview of.
Whatsapp, instagram etc.
The reason there are 2 separate outlooks is one is a calendar alert and other is actual email.
If i had like 5 mails and no alerts, it would show as one outlook and say 5 emails with one notification.
you can also see that instagram is also hidden as content.

I know it won't fix everything... but just Messages and Whatsapp in the meantime.

At least i sorted the WhatsApp.
Having 2 messaging app doesn't help.
One doesn't have the options you showed, but it also have the block/blacklist option.
I also need to find where the app lock is on Samsung. Where i can fingerprint lock the apps i choose to.

I presume that's your Android messaging version there, cause i only use the Samsung one.
You'll find it in Play Store
I need help!
One thing I had hate on my 22 Ultra is the combined notification sounds. I want to separate system sounds, text messages sounds and app sounds. Nothing seems to be working. It all comes back to this screen and it's all combined. I need away to separate them.
Any help?

Go to Apps section.
Select the app you want to configure.
Click on Notifications.
Notification categories.
You will be able to select individual sounds for everything separately.
Some will be trial and error tho
