Hi Guys
Does anyone know if it's possible to have a notification on the lock screen for a new whatsapp message received? Just like for a new sms or e-mail, but for whatsapp.
This would be amazing. I mean, lockwidgets is awesome (except for the fact that it stops working after a while by itself), but I would love a little whatsapp icon with a number next to it indicating the number of messages on the lock screen.
Thanks!
This functionality is supposed to come with WP8, so all we can do is hope it gets backported to WP7.8.

So, I honestly don't know what I did to cause this.
Normally the little slider on the lock screen would display the # of unread SMS messages I have. For some reason now what happens is I receive the SMS, the counter ticks up to 1, and then when the message disappears (automatically) the counter also disappears.
So, basically, if I didn't hear the new SMS sound, I'd never know I'd have a new one by looking at the lock screen. The SMS tab in TF3D still shows the unread count until I go there and read the message.
It still works correctly for new email messages.
Any ideas or suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks
Hello all, have been searching for this on the forum for quite a while without any success yet. Have tried browsing and searching, so now finally I am asking in a new thread.
I have disabled the HTC messaging due to the lagging problem, so now am using the native windows messaging app. It works now without much hassle.
I used the Zenyee disable sms thingy
The problem is, the bubble notification on the slider does not light up green anymore when new SMS comes in, only a windows notification on the top of the screen.
This also affects the s2u2 lock screen, no notification of new SMS coming in. I guess these are related. I wont know there's a new sms on the phone if i missed the sound, only when i unlock the phone and see the top notification bar.
Any fix for these, you masters?
Thanks in advance.
Hi guys, hope you can help!
Basically the embarrassing situation has occurred a few times now when I'm showing my friends some features of the DHD a personal text comes in which was meant for my eyes only, however the first two lines of it are displayed in the notification bar when it arrives.
Surely there's a way to stop this from happening!?
Cheers!

If you're using HTC stock messaging app then there is no way to stop it. A solution would be to use messaging apps from the market like Handcent SMS and the likes. It will give you the ability to pop the notification but does not show the content.
I've just had a friend ask me this as well. Wanting just a notification sound and icon rather than disclosing the sender or the message body on the lock screen or in the notification bar.
I've got a DHD and don't mind if people see what i'm receiving, even to the degree that i've installed an app called ChompSMS which brings up a window on the homescreen displaying the full message.
I had a fiddle with the ChompSMS settings and it seems that you can increase the privacy settings to make it anonymise the notification, however as soon as you unlock the phone it will still show the full text in a window - I only fiddled a little bit, but couldn't find a way of disabling this without losing other features.
I uninstalled ChompSMS (for the purposes of this experiment) and had a look round at the generic (HTC) messaging settings and it seems like it's all or nothing, as soon as you turn off the 'received notification' option it greys out the options below it, meaning that you get no notification whatsoever when someone messages you (except for the green circle on the messaging widget - if you have this on your homepage).
I'm going to try installing Handcent (another popular messaging app) to see if I can make it do exactly what my friend wants done. I'll message back if I manage it.

Hey guys,
I've Mango installed on my HTC Trophy, but i noticed that the notification LED only works when i've a missed call, or low battery. Is it possible to activate this functionality to Unread SMS, Unread E-mails, etc?
Thanks
This was the case on NoDo too. I'm not sure if WP7 supports this functionality. The one thing I truly miss from Android is this feature and repeat notifications! I want to be notified more than once that I receive an SMS (it should stop alerting me until I acknowledge there is a message) since I use this phone for work!
Hi All,
Long time Android user here with a galaxy s7 edge and loving it but one thing has been endlessly bothering me. I haven't been able to figure out how to separate text message notifications on the lock screen and in the notification panel into individual notifications for each message.
When I get one message, it's perfect. It shows the sender and a preview of the content, but if I get any more messages from the same sender, it switches to '2 new messages'. It's annoying because I have to unlock my phone anytime I get more than one message to see the content. I wish it would show the preview content of each message and if there were many messages then i could scroll through them on the lock screen as it works on an iPhone.
I use easy screen turn on (awesome feature btw) so it's very convenient when I can wave my hand over my device to wake it and just glance at my lockscreen to see my messages.
I've googled this issue for a while and didn't run across a solution. Some suggested I pull down the notification which expands it but that only happens if two separate people have texted me then it shows a preview of the latest message from each person..
Any suggestions? Is this an issue for anyone else? I was surprised by how few threads there were about this issue. Perhaps i just suck at google..
