I have a rooted Galaxy S4 and anytime I use the gmail app and the other stock mail app. One for personal email and one for work email. Every time I get a new message in either app, it shows a preview of the message on the notification screen if I drag it down. I want to disable the message preview on that notification screen but have not found a way to do it. I have done it on my text message app and was able to turn it off there. But, I can't find anywhere to turn off the message preview for the two email apps. Does anybody here know of a way to do this or possibly a mod to install that will remove it? Just to clarify, I want to keep the notification just turn off the preview of the message. Thanks.
I'm curious about this too. I've been looking everywhere but didn't find a solution. Did you find anything on it?

Hi, I've been unable to turn up any help on this matter with searches but I wonder if anyone knows a solution.
I received a text this morning and I saw it appear in the notification bar, I also saw who it was from but didn't get to read it before the notification disappeared. I went to my messages and the text is nowhere to be seen in either Handcent or Messaging.
Now when I receive ONE new message my notifications say I have TWO unread and the Handcent widget also shows a 2 but still the mystery message cannot be seen.
I've of course rebooted and also tried this app which simply didn't work but if someone has made an app surely this must be a known bug?!
I could delete the message thread I know but I'd like to read the message first and also simply get to the bottom of this strange error, any ideas?

Anyone have any ideas on this?
So far the only way I've found to get rid of the invisible unread SMS is to delete every SMS thread. However, if I then restore them from MyBackup for example it comes back.
I'd really like to know how to properly fix this.
Hello everyone,
Just made the switch from iphone to Android after having iphones for the last 5 years. After 4 days of familiarizing myself with s4 I love it more and more.
I've disabled many programs to speed up the phone and now I have 2 problems.
1. My phone does not automatically receive emails and does not send me notifications to the bar. I checked the email settings and it says send notifications all my email addresses. I assume I disabled some app that controls notifications.
2. Text messages- when I receive a text message. In the notification bar it just says Text Message. My wife has S3 and hers shows the actual text message in the notification bar.
3 I don't receive notifications about app updates that are available. I believe when I first got the phone, it sent me a notification to the bar stating I have updates to do.
I think I disabled one or more processes that control all those features. I looked through them many times and cant figure out which one it could be.
Thank you,
Max
My advice, I would do a factory reset, that way you go back to stock that puts the rom back to factory settings, and start your procedure again. It would a heck of alot easier to do this as it can down right frustration trying this and that.
Those features you are talking about are enabled by default. Lets start there, if you see it didn't help, we will try something else.
good luck
Go into the message app settings, and make sure the settings are as you want them, if you want to try that first.
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..
I have tried some smartwatches(simple but also android watches) and none of them has good notifications. What i am looking for is that when a notification comes in that i can directly see from who it is and from what app and also the message content. The screen must turn on and show the message for a few seconds. and have the possibillity to answer a notification. If notifications are saved it must be done in maps per app.
Amyone an suggestion. The price must be not that high.
Is there a way to hide message previews when screen is unlocked? For instance, say you're browsing the web and you receive a message... When you pull down on notification bar, you can read who sent it and what was said, as opposed to "new message" then having to click that to get into your messaging app . I know it sounds kinda redundant, but I got used to it that way on my old s8 and can't figure out how to turn off "preview messages". Maybe port the Samsung messages app over to this phone? Thanks.
You can try to turn off heads up notifications system wide using one of the numerous guides available on the net. Didn't try as I don't want to disable them.
i used method #1 located here..

Hmm. I still want to get the notification and I can disable the pop-up anyway. I'm looking to disable the actual "peek" method. For instance when my Gmail syncs and gives me a notification on my status bar, when I pull down it'll show me who the emails are from, instead of just saying "3 new emails", which is what I'd prefer.
