IPhone :: Change The Settings So That Text Messages Are Not Previewed On The Home Screen Of New 4s?
May 10, 2012
Have the new iphone 4s and can't work out how to stop my texts from being displayed on the home screen for all and sundry to see! I remember being able to change this quite easily on the old one but I have yet to find the necessary "button".
I'm new to Android phones made the switch from iphone. I just finished rooting my S6, get a nice black wallpaper on my phone but i cant figure out how to change the text below the icons on my home screen, right now the font is black so it cannot be seen.
my phone is approx 2 years old and a few months ago developed a glitch in that it shows the number of the text messages I have, and the number is increasing despite the fact that I have deleted all texts from the phone. I noticed that when I switch the phone on after a period off, it adds new messages and shows them as "new" (with that sparkly sign at the corner of it). I wonder whether there is a way of deleting this misleading icon from the home-screen?
Does anyone know how (or if you can) get SMS text msgs to display under "Messages" on the home screen? I just upgraded from the Curve to the Storm2 and I am used to being able to see a portion of the unread SMS msg on my home screen..
After a update now if i touch the home button regularly it pops up google now I have to quickly tap the button to go home. I tried nova launcher but no change.
My IPhone 5c stopped alerting me to text messages. I have gone into settings, went to sounds, scrolled down to messages & selected an alert tone. IPhone will only vibrate on texts, volume is turned up. It stopped ringing for phone calls too and will only vibrate.  It is super armored with an Otterbox and has not been dropped or broken.Â
I turned off vibrate. I have even went to Settings General and Reset the Phone totally.Â
Volume is turned up. Text and Ringtone for Calls was set in settings. It plays them fine when I choose them.Â
I have no more updates available for the phone   Update is current OS 7.1.2
I have iphone 4s ios 7.1.2 facetime is not showing on the main home screen nor in settings and also no any option of facetime in restrictions I checked the list my network is supports facetime I am in malaysia I tried everything reset my phone switched of camera from restictions then I comppletly reset my iphone and all the steps i followed which are mentioned for troubleshooting....
Sometimes when I text another person who has an iPhone the text message switches from iMessage to a regular text message -- from a "blue" message to a "green" one (if you know what I mean). I do not have an unlimited texting plan, so this means it counts against my 200 text limit. Does anyone know why this happens and if there is a setting I need to adjust?
how do i change my text message settings so i can send a text message as a whole instead of 2 different messages and also recieve them as a whole message instead of in 2 parts
Will I lose contacts, photos or text messages when i change the sim from one carrier to another? I am about to move it to Telstra from Vodafone and I'm worried that when I remove the sim card I will lose contacts, photos, music. I use all of this for work and will die if I lose it all.
I'm pulling my hair out every time I use this phone. I have heard you can adjust the touch screen to make it less sensitive, but I've got no idea how to do it!
seem to have done something to my phone it seems! On the home page when i go into the text message icon I'm getting my emails? I can still access the messages via going into view folder and then inbox and then sms inbox.
Is there an option to change the amount of icons that appear on your home screen on the BB Bold? I have one row of six icons on the home screen, and would like to add another row of favorite icons to my home screen.
I have about 5 screens, with the middle one set as a home screen. I've set in google play app to put a shortcut of new apps to home screen, but it actually add them to the very left one. The same is happening when trying to create a shortcut for contact - pin to home screen and I find them all on the very left screen instead.
Double-press of home button takes me correctly to my home screen...
how can i change my text messages so they come up in order...they are currently coming up everything i say at the top of the conversation and everything from the other person at the bottom.. if that makes sense i think a setting much of been changed because they were coming up in oreder to begin with.
How to find TEXT message sounds on an HTC One M7? All I see is the option NOTIFICATION (which I think is for things like emails, calendar appts etc). Ideally, I'd like to change my incoming TEXT MESSAGE sound and even learn to assign unique tones to indiv contacts the same way we can with RING TONES.
Samsung Galaxy S6 im trying to change the settings in the phone and i need the idle time a little longer. so i went to the settings > Display > Screen timeout i can change the screen timeout from 15 seconds to 30 seconds just fine but if i try to select the 1 mins, 3, mins, 5 mins, and 10 mins a dialog box will appear
Screen timeout
Screen will be turned off when screen is locked. Secured lock is currently set to 30 seconds. I need the phone idle time longer.
