Message Notifications Stay On Screen

Hi,
I have an iPhone 5 16Gb with iOS6. While working in applications (Safari and others), If I receive a text message or imessage the notification stays on screen until I select it or click the home button.
I have checked under Settings and I haven't seen any new features that may have changed the behavior. Has anyone else had this problem and if so have you found a solution outside of an OS update?
-Jo

Couple of things you could try:
Reset your phone: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo, then release
Force-close the Messages app: from the home screen, double-tap the home button, locate Messages in the list at the bottom, tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it
Change the notification alert style for messages to Alerts or None, then back to Banners

  • UNHIDE/HIDE MESSAGE NOTIFICATION ON HOME SCREEN

    I currently have a Nokia E63. I have hidden the message notification box on my home screen by using the backspace button. Does anyone know how to get (unhide) that box?

    It's amazing how the Nokia guide book tells you:
    "To view the notifications, scroll to a box.  Each box is only visible if there are items in it.  TO hide the boxes, press the backspace key."
    And then there is nothing on how to unhide the boxes.
    So I found the solution.  I'm getting a Blackberry.  Thanks for unsupport Nokia.

  • Sliding message notification on lock screen opens new conversation

    When a single one of my contacts sends me an iMessage, the notification on the lock screen slides open to create a new message with that contact (in green instead of blue) rather than displaying the iMessage thread.
    I need to "cancel" the new message and return to the list of messages to view the new message from that contact. This only happens with one contact and started after he visited the United States for a few days; the problem continued when he returned to Canada.
    I've restarted and reset my phone. It is only happening on the iPhone; iMessages are opening normally on the iPad.

    Try double tapping the home button to bring up the multi-tasking list. Find the Messages app and then swipe upwards on the thumbnail to close it completely. Then try the phone reset again by holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. Let's see if this will correct the problem. The next step in troubleshooting is to restore your device from a backup. But either this or the reset network settings that I sent you before should correct this.

  • Messages notifications make my screen flash

    I have a MacBook Air with OSX Yosemite installed. The title of my post is fairly descriptive of this issue. But let me include some things that I've tried to do to resolve the issue.
    1. I looked over this article: OS X Yosemite: Audio pane of Accessibility preferences. I had a lot of hope this would resolve my issue, but upon going to the settings page for this I found the "Flash the screen when an alert sound occurs" checkbox to be un-checked. I checked, and un-checked it again to see if that would help, it did not.
    2. Verified volume is turned up. Checking system preferences => Sound
         a. I can see that the 'internal speakers' are selected as my output device, and the volume is mid-level.
    3. Checked the notification settings for Messages for any setting that might indicate my desire to have the screen 'flash' when I get notifications. I don't see any setting there that appears to correspond with this anomaly.
    4. Verified there are not any bluetooth audio devices connected to the Mac
    I would really like to find out what is causing this. It is VERY annoying.

  • How to keep a notification message in my lock screen?

    For instance, when I receive an SMS I get a notification message in my lock screen. After that, if I unlock my phone, without reviewing/opening the iMessage app, and then I lock it again, is there any way to keep my SMS notification in the lock screen?
    Thanks

    Hi Sudheer,
                      U can create a message say "Test" in message pool of Type Info. u can use this message for displaying info messages as shown below.
    wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportMessage(IMessage<ur component name>.Test);
    i am not sure about the image, just try this.

    Hey linfrommi,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having trouble locating some application after the update to iOS 7. To troubleshoot this issue, let’s reset the home screen layout of your iPhone, which should move all of your applications to the second “page”:

  • Raising a Message and staying at the same screen

    Hi,
    i had searched SDN before posting this thread
    I'm working on a Enhancement for CO12.
    The issue is that after raising a message i have to stay at the same screen.
    I raised the error message like below, but after this message the whole screen is getting plain.
    MESSAGE 'Quantite confirmee ' TYPE 'E'
    I change my message type as STATUS, this message is display but the transaction doing its work.
    MESSAGE 'Quantite confirmee ' TYPE 'S'
    Can you please tell me how to get rid of this issue?
    Thanks
    Always LEarner

    Thanks Guys!!
    I tested with all options provided by you people. When i write CALL SCREEN 1000 it is going to dump. I think its unable to identify
    the screen.
    When i tried to raise a error message like below, message is getting triggered but its not stopping here because the message is of type 'S'
    MESSAGE 'Quantite confirmee incomplete' TYPE 'S' DISPLAY LIKE 'E'.
    When i tried to raise a error message like below, message is getting triggered but its making the whole screen plain
    MESSAGE 'Quantite confirmee incomplete' TYPE 'E' DISPLAY LIKE 'S'
    If i'm using 'EXIT' after the message statement , its coming out of the include
    And, I have read the documentation of CONFPP05.
    The documentation says :-
    In this customer enhancement it is strictly FORBIDDEN to send error  
    messages or other messages because otherwise there is the danger that
    data will be inconsistent. SAP takes no responsibility for this !!!
    So, is there any way to raise an error message and stay on the same screen??
    Thanks & REgards

  • Messages interactive notifications on lock screen blank

    I updated my iPhone 5S 16GB to iOS 8.0 and everything seems to work perfectly fine except for my interactive notifications with my messages on the lock screen. When I swipe the notification to the left to reply, it's completely blank. The tiny x to dismiss the notification shows up but the reply button is nowhere to be found. I then tested it out with an email, and the email works perfectly fine with both the mark as read and delete buttons showing up. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

    Messages App doesn't alert or post notifications when open.  Not sure what you mean by "turned my phone on", "when in a group chat."  If your phone was off (shut down), it can't receive/show anything.

  • E-mail Notification On Home Screen 5800 v.30....wh...

    This so called feature is not available after updating so a hard reset is required for it to be seen which i did do.
    I then restored a back up and it disappeared.I then tried 2 back up's, one with settings and one without and it still wasn't anywhere to be seen.
    So, if you really really really want E-mail notification on Home Screen then you'll have to start the phone from scratch, excellent work there Nokia.....why implement a feature that disappears after restoring a back up from your own software (PC suite)!
    Still shaking my head at this **bleep** up!

    For all of you who consider hard resetting the phone and starting it from scratch, so that the email notification on the homescreen appears: it works just fine, even if you use the Nokia Email instead of the built in email client!
