Hi,
It's been a while since I had an android device, but I'm thinking about switching from my iPhone to an Edge S7. I was able to test an Edge S7 from my work for a day to see if I like it, and so far I'm quite positive
There's only one feature I didn't like so much, which are the consolidated lockscreen messages. On my iPhone every message is shown separate, which is convenient when I'm in a meeting, I just tap the homebutton and I see my latest messages on screen. But with the Edge will consolidate multiple messages from one app and say "2 new messages".
Is there a setting that allows me to unconsolidate them, and show each message separate on the lockscreen?
Thanks

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.

Is there some SMS solution to show incoming SMS on lock screen lot larger than in notification bar? I've tried Handcent, but it only shows first SMS not the latest.
Also is there a way to simply delete messages without extra two clicks confirming it?
I would like to know this as well, the lockscreen is under utilized in android
And than if you have face unlock it does not even show, so you either have security or functionality. I just came from 5 year old Windows 6.5 phone at it was more user friendly than ICS to me. It is a step up, don't get me wrong, but basic stuff is done with more clicks than in Win phone...
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..
Whats up everyone?
I got my 6T the first day. Today was the first time I played with it nicely.
Maybe I am getting confused or have lost my way around Pie, but I am not able to get notifications for a particular app the way that I want.
Example: For Twitter (because I receive a lot of notifications), I want the notification to show up on my lock screen as well in the notification dropdown (just like all other notifications), but I do not want my phone vibrating or making a sound when I receive one. Is it possible? ONLY for twitter. All other apps should function normally.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
When the app in question has a notification, long press it, choose more settings. There are options there to allow or disallow certain events.
