How do I hide the text message preview in IOS5.0.1.

What's up All?,
Since upgrading my 4s to 5.0.1 I notice there's no way to hide the text preview on the lock screen.  For privacy reasons I don't want this to happen, it's ok if a name comes up but I don't want to see the message.  I've been searching the threads and am calling no joy.  One suggestion was that if the phone is password locked that it would just show that you have a text and the senders name, nothing more.  This isn't the case on my end, I always password lock all my stuff, phone included and I still see the text preview.  Under the setttings menu for texting, there's not even an option to turn the preview off, at least not on my phone, there was before.  
Has anyone found a way to deal with this?  It didn't happen prior to IOS 5.0.1. 
Thank you for any and all replies.  

Color me feeling stupid!  I don't recall if I disabled it that way or not when I orignally got the phone, I know on the 3g it was under settings>messages.  In either case, you steered me to where I needed to go and got the issue fixed for me and for that, I thank you, I appreciate you're taking the time to help out!
Take care
Eric

  • HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. MY question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this aren't working

    HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. My question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this, such as using turning off the SMS preview under the "passcode lock", well that option no longer exists, or if it does, I'm somehow missing it.
    When I go to the "messages" setting under settings on my phone, I still don't see an option of turning it off.
    If I can just get the name of the person sending the message, as I had it before, I'd be happy.
    Help!

    That option still exists in Settings > Notifications > Messages > Show Prview (OFF) and View in Lock Screen (ON). Here's how to configure your Notifications and Notification Center for iOS 5: http://iphone-and-i.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-customize-notification-center-in .html

  • How do I Hide the text printed from a standard Text Element in SAP Script?

    Hi,
    I have created one SAP Script which gets printed from IW33 using a standard print program.
    In config the standrad SAP script is replaced by the zsap script.
    Since the Zscript is printed from a Standard print program, I had to keep all the text elements used by the original(standard) SAP script.
    I only kept the text elemets and commented out the printing part.
    But still some values are printing. How do I hide these text element values?
    I want to delete whatever its printing from these text element. Icant delete the standard text elemetns , otherwise the standard print program will give error.

    Hi,
    I am not printing any text under these text element in my zscript.
    I had to include these standard text elemets as they are called from the standard print program using which my zscript is getting printed.
    for example:
    /E OPERATION
    Under operation i didnot print anything. Still some values which are passed in text element Operation by the print program is being printed in the form. i want to hide/delete these values.
    how do I do that?

  • How do I remove the text message from my iPad

    Someone please help, I am a teacher and I use an iPad in my classroom. I just purchased my first iPhone, but somehow, some icons from my phone appear on my iPad. The main one that worries me is my text messaging. I need to remove the text messaging from my iPad.

    Hi, Srta. Sunshine. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 
    I would recommend signing out of iMessage or turning this feature off on your iPad.  You can sign out of iMessage by selecting Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Select Your Apple ID > Sign Out.  Or you can turn off iMessage by selecting Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off.

  • Why is the Text message BLACK in iOS5? Who's idea was that?

    How do change the text message back to what it was before, the nice, bright, green color, instead of this dark, black color?  Who's idea was it to make so dark?

    It's just the design choice they made.  It matches the other parts of the OS - like the time background on the lock page, the pop-up style notifications, the folder interface, etc.
    I only mentioned that you could turn it off if the color bothered you that much.

  • How can I hide the text of a SMS or MMS displayed on my iPhone?

    When I receive a sms some of the text of the SMS is showed on the iPhone. How can I avoid this, only showing that a sms has been received. Kenneth

    The SMS Preview option allows you to hide the SMS excerpt, but is it possible to hide the sender name too? (ie the pop-up just says "Text Message Received"?)
    Thanks,

    This is Illustrator, no matter which version you are using.
    It doesn't work like in other programmes and Illustrator's behaviour is often undesired.
    There is no good trick that I'm aware of to mimic Draw's or Freehand's way to do it.
