Setting to show text (sms) notification on lock screen but not message content

Just about every phone I have will give a notification of a new text while locked. I know the iphone goes one step further shows a preview and who it's from.
For privacy reasons (work and personal) I might not want people to see who is texting me or what it says. I would like a simple message saying "2 new messages", or "1 missed call" on the lock screen, so I do not have to unlock it every time to check.
How do I do this?

Settings > Notifications.
Select Messages.
Set it to Banners or None.
Show preview Off.
Badge App icon On. (This is the little red number on the icon showing how many new messages you have).

  • A way to have notifications appear on lock screen but not activate the screen each time I receive one?

    Using an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 I like how I can have my notifications appear on my lock screen (usually for a new email) but dislike how every time I receive a notification, my iPhone screen lights up with the notification. Is there a way to continue receiving notifications on my lock screen but not have the screen illuminate every time I receive one? It's a constant distraction when I am at work, and I like to keep my phone turned face-up on my desk in case I get a call.

    No

  • Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.? I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not cell content.

    Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.?
    I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not the content, of the target cell(s).

    Hi Tom,
    Your LOOKUP formula will return a value that it finds in the "other" table. That value can be used in conditional highlighting rules. (Numbers 3 calls it conditional highlighting, not conditional formatting. Just to keep us awake, I guess, but it works the same).
    Please explain what you are trying to do.

  • Texts showing up on lock screen, but not lighting up/vibrating

    A lot of people have said this is a hardware type issue, but it happened with my old iPhone 4 and I just got a new iPhone 5C today and it still does it. My settings for messages in the notification center has alerts as the alert style, badge app icon is on, alert sound is vibrate only, show in notification center is on, and show on lock screen is on. In sounds settings, vibrate on ring is on, vibrate on silent is on, text tone is vibrate only (with alert tone set as none). My phone also won't vibrate when someone calls, even though its set to do that. It'll ring if its not on silent, though. It's annoying because I'm not looking at my phone 24/7 and I miss calls frequently since nothing notifies me. Getting a new phone won't solve anything, so what can I do to fix this?

    did it ever work. My phone is doing the same thing and i have a iPhone 5. what should i do?

  • Swiping a notification on lock screen does not launch app since IOS 7.0.3

    Since upgrading from an iPad 2 to an iPad Air and From an iPhone 4 to an Phone 5S, if I swipe a notification on the lock screen, that app is not launched. Instead the home screen is displayed. It doesn't matter if the notification is a text, an email, a phone message, or a game alert. They all get the same response. At first I thought it had to do with having a pass code on the device since I hadn't used one before getting the 5S and the air. I turned the pass code off and still get the same results. I read another similar post and the answer was 'working as designed'. I don't believe that is true. Their answer was you must then launch notification center and select the app there. It was extremely convenient when it worked properly before.

    Yeah,that makes a difference. Thanx a bunch

  • TS3274 Email display problem: My email only display the list of emails and a preview (first two lines of the body of the mail). If one click on the message it only shows the heading on the right hand side of the screen, but not the content.

    My email only display the list of mails in my in box with a preview of the first two lines of the body of the message. When one clicks on the message to open it, only the header is displayed in the right hand side of the screen - the actual message is missing. This happens on older mail previously downloaded that use to work properly as well. Any idea how to fix this?

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • How do I set up my iPhone to show message alerts on my locked screen only for messages sent by my contacts?

    iPhone now is able to show you messages received even though the screen is locked. This is time efficient. But I do not want to see messages on the locked screen from people who are not in my contacts list. I tried going to settings>notifications>messages> but only saw view in lock screen for all messages. Is there a way to see messages on the locked screen from people only in my contact list? I appreciate it.

    Which adaptor? What kind of LCD?
    Normally, all you have to do is attach the appropriate cable to your laptop, connect it to your other monitor/screen, and make sure the monitor is powered, turned on, and has the correct input (if it has multiple inputs). For example, a monitor might have DVI and VGA, and an "input switcher" to select which one you want.

  • Is there a way to still get audible alerts of new messages without having any banners or text appear in the lock screen?

    I'm trying to make sure I am doing this correctly.  How do you set up alerts for both text messages and iMessages so that even when the phone is locked you will still get an audible or vibration alert as soon as the message is received?  And is there a way to do this without having any text appear on the lock screen that shows who the message is from.  My phone stays in locked mode most of the time but I still want to recieve alerts for new messages as soon as they arrive.  I'm also concerned about privacy so I don't want any text or preview or even any information about the sender to appear on the lock screen.  I just want a vibration or audible alert.

    Open the Settings app > Notifications > Messages. Scroll down adn turn OFF "View In Lock Screen". You may want to consider setting Alert style to none, but this will not impact what happens when the screen is locked.

  • No notifications on lock screen.

    I have iPhone 4, just upgraded ios5 and everything restored fine. The problem is I'm not seeing any notifications on lock screen.  And only see the camera icon in lock screen sporadically.  Any others having this issue?.

    I've done that.  What I've now seen is it appears notifications only show if they come in while the phone was locked.  Once you unlock it the notification does not stay. 
    The other problem seems more of a bug.  I don't see the camera icon on the lock screen.  Or I only see it rarely.  Most times it's not there.

  • Emails on the lock screen and not receiving emails

    For some reason that i set up the Ipad air to show the emails on lock screen too. but it doesn't work now. but it worked before over a month ago. now something went wrong now. I tried to restore it but still the same problem. and now i even didnt receive any incoming emails automatically now.
    Did I done something wrong? I haven't change it at all since i brought the ipad. HELP!!!

    If new emails aren't automatically being fetched then go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data - does that have Push set 'on', and Fetch is not set to 'Manually' ?
    If it's not automatically checking for new emails then you won't get notifications on the lock screen, but also check that Mail has the correct setting for notifications : go into Settings > Notification Centre > Mail (Mail should show somewhere in the list of apps), tap on it to select it, then tap on an email account - does the account have 'alerts' selected at the top of that screen ?

  • Is there a way of just changing the text to the main menu..but not the submenus?

    Is there a way of just changing the text to the main
    menu..but not the submenus?
    Also i have looked at in the browser and when i glide over
    the menu catergories or click on them they dont show the
    submenu...what can i do to solve this?

    Does the example described at
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/menu_bar/index.html
    work for you?
    What are you doing that's different from the example?
    When you say you just want to change the text of the main
    menu without changing the submenus, do you mean you want to do so
    dynamically, at some later stage after the page has loaded?
    If so, you could try retrieving the main menu elements you
    want to update from the DOM and updating them from your script's
    event handler for whatever event it is that you want to update them
    in response to. This presumes the widget will detect this and
    update appropriately, which I can't say for sure since I haven't
    actually tried it.
    Hope that helps!

  • How to programmatically load and show the front panel of a vi but NOT run it?

    Is there a way to load and show the front panel of a vi but NOT run it?  I am starting with the AsynchronousCallAndForget.vi from the example finder and inserted an invoke node with the FP Open method call prior to the Start Asynchronous Call node. The vi I am loading has the "Run when opened" unchecked and the menu bar IS visible so I can manually click the run arrow. Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Why are you using the Async call? If you simply open the VI reference, then call the FP.Open method this works fine. You can then call the VI run method with Wait Until Done set to false if you wish to run it Asynchronously, this is how we did it in ye olde days before we had this new fangled "Start Asynchronous Call" stuff.

  • Frozen locked screen stating Not Enough Storage

    Ipod touch is on a locked screen stating Not Enough Storage. It cannot be shut off and is not acknowledged when I attach to computer

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
