I have discovered a big flaw today in my samsung tablet, running JM2 Froyo 2.2!
I received a SMS, my device was LOCKED (for privacy). But when the SMS arrived the device turned on, and, even if still LOCKED, it showed the content of SMS...this is not acceptable to me.
Is there a workaround? An additional settings?
I use the default Messanging.
2.
If of any help, I can unistall the default tool (messaging) and install Handcent SMS, but will this fix my issue? Again, I wish that NO SMS appear on display if in LOCKED mode (password protected mode)
Thanks
Saulo
If any of you can suggest a SMS application which fix this issue, I will appreciate to hear!
have a good time

There is an option in the setting for notification (Messaging -> Menu -> Setting). Have you try that option?

Dear Heru
I am checking...
I have only 3 settings enabled (NOT greyed):
1. delete old messages
2. auto-retrieve
3. Notifications (display message notification in status bar)
This 3rd one is NOT the culprit, since what it does is to display an icon in the top bar.
I have disabled it, but still I receive SMS full text (clearly visible by everyone) even in "locked passport-protected" mode.
Any more suggestions?
Thanks for your help!

If you install Handcent (maybe ChompSMS or others do it too), you can disable the popups altogether (locked or not). Both are free on the Market. Handcent also lets you set a security pattern to open texts (again regardless of whether the phone is locked) that also applies when you try to get to them via the stock Messaging app.
I have no idea for Chomp, but for Handcent, the setting is under Settings -> Notification Settings. There you can clear the checkbox if you never want the popups (only notification bar will be set off), and if you leave it enabled you have a subscreen for settings that will let you say whether you want it to turn on the screen, dim it, enable privacy mode (means you need to do the unlock pattern before any message details are shown in notifications), and a bunch of other customizations, including the "Show When Locked" which you can clear meaning that if you have any popups after all the other settings, it will remain "hidden" until you unlock the phone.
There have been aggravating issues in the past with sending MMS image files, but lately, I've had none, and am pleased overall with Hancent which is a pretty big upgrade over the default app.
Good luck.
Thanks a lot dear Buglessfan!
I will definetely use handcent SMS
Questions:
1. Do I need to unistall the stock messaging application?
2.if so, do you recommend to me use Titanium Backup Pro (which I have)?
It has a funzion called freeze, which i think is something like unistall but with the option of reversing it
Thanks and waiting
Saulo
I *think* it still needs the stock app to exist in the background, but they have a web site with their own forums and support, so I'm sure you can find out there. IIRC it's bbs.handcent.com or the like. If you have Titanium backup you could freeze it to try, or just uninstall it (after backing it up first). The cool thing is if you have both installed it still provides whatever added security you enable, the stock app isn't a back door.
I have used Handcent exclusively for quite awhile. You cannot uninstall the native messaging ap. (or at least you dont need to).
You can create a security lock specifically for Handcent and apply it to both Handcent and the native ap.
Then cancel the retrieval and notifications for the native ap. and all you will get are the Handcent notifications. If the tab is locked, you will get the notification sound, and the icon in the task bar and nothing else. Then unlock the device, and then unlock Handcent and read the message.
In my opinion, its a very secure way to receive SMS.
Thanks to both of you.
Dear Carlsbad: I have followed your instructions and now hadcent behaves exactly as I wished: no pop-ups are shown when a new SMS arrives.
I wonder if I can also disable the sound (triggered when a SMS arrives): the setting for disabling sound are in handcent? Or in the phone provider settings?
Thanks a lot!
Saulo
By the way: are you in Carlsbad in Orange County (close to San Diego)? I was there in 2007...very wonderful location!
If you just disable all notification in the stock messenging app, then, yes only the settings for Handcent matter, and the settings there are pretty rich, including custom sound, no sound, no vibration, particular vibration patterns, no led, custom LED color, et cetera.

Im glad it worked out for you! Yes you can modify the notification sound settings directly in Handcent.
Yes, I am in Carlsbad, CA. Actually its North San Diego County.
Take care!
1. Is there any way to prevent the screen from turning on when theres a notification from messaging ?
2. The privacy feature when disabled shows your text message on the lock screen ,Turning it off the message details get turned off in the drop down bar as well.
I noticed they added custom notification tones for ringer and messaging in the contacts app so I want to stop using SMS popup but these things are rather annoying.
Anyone have any idea of how to do any of these things now that we have root? I have looked around and couldn't find anything specific for the S7/S7e...
Disable screen on for text messages
Disable LED when Do Not Disturb is on
Enable factory messaging block option
Anyone?
After updating to Nougat, I can no longer disable message previews now with out disabling all vibration and sound.... WTF?? Of course Samsung removed the System UI Timer access too so that option is out. Anyone figure out how to hide message previews? It's annoying as hell when you're trying to show someone your phone and all your messages are hitting them right in the face.
Solution is here.

messages setting and then notification to disable message preview
Yes, but you missed the "without disabling all vibration and sound" part.
After OREO Beta update I can't disable the annoying WhatsApp popup (showing on top of screen) , somehow the app override my settings config.
I disabled notification on settings - app settings - WhatsApp messages
But after someone send me a message and the annoying popup shows up and the settings went back to default.
Only me??
Same here... Very annoying... Can anyone help?
Tks in advance
do you mean the white head-up notification? if yes:
1) enable usb debugging in dev.settings
2) adb devices
3) to disable all heads-up: adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
4) to enable all heads-up: a db shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 1
Do I need to root my phone to do this?
Guys, I still haven't solved this... Anyone can help? I had to disable all whatsapp notification... This does not make sense at all... Oreo is bugged as hell!!! Please help!

Can't you add the app to game tuner or game launcher (not sure which one) and disable notifications?
I guess it at least works when whatsapp is open.
The only way to solve this is installing an older whatsapp version (prior to oreo) ... I did it and now is working perfectly...
There is a bug with whatsapp and the notifications channels...
there is no error, and google does not do something without being able to customize its options and more referring to notifications.
To disable the pop-up window go to "Settings> Notifications> (go down until you find whatsapp) enter> enter group notifications and message notifications> importance> select" High "(which is just sound).
By default it is in Urgent (which is sound and pop-up window on the screen).
I hope that is the solution that several users are looking for. Greetings.
Anyway to disable notification bar contents as well or disable notification bar in general and get some sort of icon on the top showing there is something to whatsapp related.. going to be honest my wife sometimes sends me some subjective material and I don't want the world to see.
Notification seeting reverts back
Hi
I followed the steps
"To disable the pop-up window go to "Settings> Notifications> (go down until you find whatsapp) enter> enter group notifications and message notifications> importance> select" High "(which is just sound).
By default it is in Urgent (which is sound and pop-up window on the screen)."
But when the next WhatsApp message come in it reverts to Urgent by itself , even if you turn off notifications completely.
Same for others?:
Same thing here. I've done that countless of times. Instead of Urgent, I set it to low because I don't want any sound, and for sure not that super annoying dropdown notification that appears on screen.
All I want, is a little whatsapp symbol on top letting me know there is a message, or if customized that way, a blinking light when a message comes in. Silent.
But to no avail, it always gets back to "Urgent".
I'll try medium now.
Anyone found a solution for this? I have the same issue, soon as i get a whatsapp message it reverts the notification settings! So frustrating!
EDIT: Okay I found something that works for me. In the Settings > Notifications > Whatsapp, I set the profile to be "High", and it hasn't overwritten my changes yet, no popup anymore.

Couldn't find the same importance level under the WeChat setting mentioned sad, why is that some app like WhatsApp has these setting while others don't
No matter what I do I still get the pop up notifications once I receive a new message
Setting the Importance to 'High' worked for me to stop WhatsApp heads up. I have Samsung Note 8 on Oero 8.0.
Thank you thank you thank you. Been doing my head in since getting my Note 8.
can anyone post the whatsapp version pre oreo that doesn't have the notification bug issue?
Setting the importance to "high" solves part of the problem since it disables pop-ups. But that doesn't solve the vibration/sound problem...
Setting it to "medium" or "low" doesn't work since it will revert back to "high" after the next message I receive.
So there's currently no way to solve this : I either get full notifications from WhatsApp (vibration on each message, including group messages, okay no pop-up but 300 vibrations per day is quite annoying), or I disable all WhatsApp notifications and then I don't get anything... Retarded design
It's seriously bugged as hell... Was super fine in Nougat (using Galaxy S7 edge)
Ok
Hasn't this been solved yet? Why the hell does WhatsApp override the settings in the notification channels after you change them? How can this even be allowed by the OS?
I've been facing the same issue for months. I want my group chats to be set to "low" importance and my private messages to "high", which works perfectly fine with Telegram. But WhatsApp keeps reverting the settings no matter what I do.
Any way to solve this?
Exact same problem here, super annoying.
