Is there any way to stop notifications from showing on the screen so they can only be read through the pull down from top menu? Either that or instead of showing the actual messages just have it show something like "WhatsApp New Message"
I'm not talking about the lock screen.
Apparently this is an app issue, WhatsApp and Hangouts display a banner when a message is received, haven't figured out a way to disable them yet though.

Seeing as that the Captivate does not have a notification LED, it sometimes becomes a problem noticing new notifications. I just want to know if there is some kind of application that would flash the screen for a few seconds or so when the phone receives a new notification. I remember my iPhone doing that and it would be cool to see Android phones doing the same.
Look in the development forum for captivate, there is a thread doing this exact thing
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
No, I know about the red dot on the screen thing. I dont really need that and besides, I believe it kills battery. I just want some app to turn the screen on for a few seconds when I get a notification.
Maybe go to the noled thread and see if he'll add that feature
my screen does flash when I get a message. It pops up in the notification bar and shows two lines of the message then shuts off.

It does this when it is sleeping?
I just tested it. When its locked and the screen is off it revives itself when I get and MMS or SMS. For emails it does not.
handcent sms will do it when you adjust the settings for the popup menu
Oh, maybe it only works for SMS and MMS notifications only. I would like the screen to flash on for every notification (Gmail, Feedr, AIM, etc). Kind of like how the iPhone worked with push notifications.
When I see that I have a text message indicated by either the notification light or the sony style cover window I will open the cover on my phone but the text message on the lock screen is removed almost immediately not allowing me any time to actually read the message. Has anybody else experienced this?
I've noticed that notifications from other apps will remain on the lockscreen, it just seems to be the messenging apps notifications that disappear (I'm using Xperia default messenging app).
For me to read the text message I have to unlock my phone and open the app...I would expect that it should remain on the lockscreen so that I could at least read the message - therefore allowing me to decide if I need to unlock the phone if I want to respond.
Is this something that can be changed in the phone settings somewhere...or is it a glitch? Anybody else notice this?
Thanks!
I believe I just found the answer to my own question... See attached setting
Even with the setting ON (refer to image in post above) this problem continues...
Go to settings, sound & notification, app notification. There choose all and search for Messaging. Untick block.
Thanks for the reply...I checked that setting and the block setting was already ticked off...?
i have the same problem with my galaxy s7 but the problem is still there. any help?
Hello guys,
In my old phones, when an SMS comes in, I slide down the notification panel, I can see the entire content of the message.
But in the Mate 9, I can only see the first two lines.
Problem is when using my banking app. When I request TAC, it comes as SMS the moment I switch to the message app to get the code, the banking app automatically logs out (that is how it has been programmed for security purposes). The banking app also doesn't allow split-screen.
Is there a way to get the notification show the entire message when I swipe down the notification panel?
Thanks
Have you tried swiping down the notification panel with one finger to open it, then using a two-finger swipe-down on the sms notification itself?

Just tried. Didn't work.
Thanks for the tip.
It seems that there is no way to get the notification show the entire message when we swipe down the notification panel.
I think it is maybe by design for security purposes.
It doesn't seem like it's for security if it's still showing the first line. I've had no luck replacing the default messaging app with Signal, either, which should have fixed this problem -- the phone lets me change the default, but then I stop getting any SMS messages at all until I change it back.
I would prefer to have text messages turn on the screen so I can see it message briefly without having to interact with the phone.
If that a thing on this phone?
Currently I get a notification on the always on screen, but it's just an icon. I have to unlock the phone and then swipe down and then expand the notification. Seems like alot of extra steps...

Yeah i miss that with my pixel. You can get glimpse
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?

you mean it makes just beep sound and doesnot wake up screeen? right?

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
