Text/email/call notification screen -- TMI!

Is there any way to modify or disable the notification screen that pops up on the wallpaper when a text, call, or email comes in? Too much information there for my kids to see when they want to use the phone for a game, etc.

I am not aware of any such option in settings however my post is more of a question - do you receive notification of received emails on the wallpaper when your iPhone is locked?
I only receive notification of missed calls and SMS and not emails (and I would like this)!
thanks
Raf

Very quick question.... preview texts / missed call notifications

I've had my Z3C for over a month now. If I am totally honest.. I wish I had stuck to the iphone. But never mind, i am pleased i have given it a try.
Anyway... how do i turn on SMS previews? I've worked out how to get whatsapp message previews but I can't see sms previews.
Also, can i see that I have received a text or missed call while on the locked screen? When I receive a text or missed call while i've been away from my handset for a short time I sometimes don't realise unless i unlock the screen.
How do I change this? Thanks in advance

Since you had an iPhone before, perhaps this is what you want/need
you can download and app like this

My iPhone 5 is not pushing through notifications for text/ emails or alerts in a proper fashion!

My iPhone 5 is not pushing through notifications properly. The screen lights up but there is no sound alert or banner it may or may not be followed by a sound alert and / or banner or the sound alert may come twice even after the text/ email/ app notification has been checked. Or the banner notifications are being pushed through hours after I have checked the emails. I have checked the notification setting and all is in order and software is up to date as well. Called apple support but they want to charge me even to comment on what the problem could be related to! Pl help!

Buying a bundle doesn't mean that your device will work aborad you need to make sure roaming is enabled on your account.
If you have a EE extra plan you still need to make sure roaming is enable on your account your plan only gives you free/cheaper calls when abroad.
If your wanting to enable roaming on your account there could be a deposit to pay if you haven't had the device for about 6 months.
Unless you have paid the deposit then roaming is not enabled on your account.
You need to activate roaming on your account by calling 150 from your device or from a landline 01707 315000 before you leave the UK.
But you can still do this if you are abroad.
If you have had the device/contract for 6 months or over you can login to your online account and turn on roaming yourself
Manage this device>Usage controls>Roaming abroad - Allow and Call abroad and turn it on. If the option is not there you need to call
It can take 24 hours to activate
If you had this device/contract for under 6 months you need to call customer services on +44 7953 966250 from a landline.
Once you have activated roaming you can then use this link to see what cost there is and what bundles you can have.

Please read this about voicemail
http://ee.co.uk/help/getting-started/setting-up-voicemail/divert-to-voicemail
And this
http://ee.co.uk/articles/set-up-your-phone-for-using-abroad
Also sending a text to 150 with the words of RO country your going to i.e. RO Spain will get you a reply of what the costs will be from that country.

Making email/text/missed call symbols show when the iphone screen is asleep

Hi,
So I purchased my first ever iphone on the weekend - the new 3G S. All very exciting. One thing I haven't quite worked out is whether it is possible to have the phone show me that I have mail/text/missed calls when the screen is asleep. Is this possible?
With Nokias and Sony Ericsson's when the screen is asleep and blacked out, you can still see a pic of an envelope etc to let you know there is something waiting for you like a text. Is this possible with the iphone and if so how?
Alternatively if there is an app that will do this, could you let me know what that is called so I can download it please?
Many thanks in advance
Paul

This is not possible with the current iPhone and version 3.0 software. There are no apps available either that will wake the iPhone up and activate the screen to provide you information. Hopefully this'll come in some furure software update.

Why doesnt the Iphone come standard with a missed text, email or call alert

Why doesnot the Ipone come standard with a missed text, email or call alert, after all it is suppose to be a smart phone

The only visual aid the iPhone has for missed calls, text, email, etc. is the Notification center. After opening notification center, you chose each of the desired areas, i.e. phone calls, mail, etc. and select your notification. This can be badges, etc. If you miss a call, it will display a notice on the screen for a period of time and the screen will then go dark again. If you wake up the phone and you have missed calls or texts, they should show up on the screen, depending on your settings. The iPhone does not, and never has had a flashing light as some other phones have.
Check the manual for setting the Notification Center. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

My iPhone 3Gs randomly shutting off at any given moment. I could be in the middle of a text, a call, or doing some games and it'll just shut off.
Now here's the unique part. When I go to turn it back on, the apple loading screen pops up but it takes somewhere from 3-5 minutes for it to boot up. Then the lock screen with the time and whatnot shows up. From this point on, my iPhone has a chance to shut itself back down and I have to repeat the process over and over again. Most of the time the lock screen flashes and then goes straight to black (shut down) but sometimes I can make it a few menus before it shuts itself down.
The only way to keep the iPhone on is to plug it into a charger of any sort. I'm fairly certain it isn't a battery charge issue because this happens at any % of power and sometimes my iPhone can use up all of its charge and not have this happen while other times I can be at 90-100% and it could randomly shut itself down. What can I do in this situation if some has some solution to this problem please let me know on [email protected] Thanks!

Not sure if this Term is Relevant towards an iPhone but, my iPhone won't Post unless if it's plugged into a Charger.

Text/Email notifications won't clear

I was having issues with my text/email notifications not clearing on the dock and was told I had to do a factory reset. So i did that and I was still having the problem after i set my phone up again. I found that once I went into the Developer Options and chose the option "Do not keep Activities," so I unchecked that box and it fixed the problem once i got a new message or restarted the phone and haven't had that problem since.

I don't have all the things that you list.
I have:
Actions
Receive email notifications (or not)----which I chose & hope that that works.
Bookmark this
I have already checked 'no' to all emails, which is NOT what I want. If there are more comments to my questions, I would like to see them, but there is no option for that. I have 2349 emails, certainly not related to MY question. (And I am NOT shouting... trying to make a point.
How can I keep up with what is going on in the Apple Support Community if I say NO to all of the emails?
And why can't we copy or cut & paste here????? If one copies or cuts it won't allow paste. It gives only options ot insert links & such???
How do you people keep up with this community IF you don't get a gazillion emails?
Thanks.

I got to that page but clicking on the Subscribe Free had no effect.
Nothing showed in the Podcasts nor the iTunes U.
In fact I also subscribed to Stanford's lectures and despite actually managing to DL them there is still no subscription in iTunes U, just the Intro to Computer Science belatedly.

I'd like to attach the screen grab of the out of order and randomly DLed selection of Harvard's course, but the forum won't let me attach it even though it is only 456k. Correction, close post and retry and now it lets me. NB how intermittent the DLs are and in no particular order.

How can I get volume on my I6 to hear incoming calls . I went to setting , sounds, and selected a tone, but still no sound for incoming calls, texts, or other notifications.

Hi rsample,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Your symptoms make it sound like the iPhone side switch is set to silent mode.
iOS: Understanding sounds, ringtones, and alerts
Set your device to silent mode
iPhone: Toggle the Ring/Silent switch on the side of the device.

Missed call notification in lock screen

I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0.1 and I discovered a potential security/privacy issue. Generally, when apps are configured so that they leave a notification on the lock screen, you can actually swipe the notification itself (rather than the "slide to unlock" bar at the bottom of the screen). When you do this, you are still asked for your password to unlock the phone, but you are taken directly to the associated app after the phone is unlocked. The problem is, when you swipe a "missed phone call" notification from the lock screen, the number is immediately dialed! You are not required to enter your password first!
I won't go into the reasons why you possibly wouldn't want this to happen - I'll leave that to the individual to figure out. The point is, if the phone is locked, you should only be able to make non-emergency calls. Period. I called Apple Support to inquire about this issue and the best they could come up with is to set the phone app so that notifications aren't viewed from the lock screen (Home > Settings > Notifications > Phone > View in Lock Screen = OFF). While this does in fact secure my phone, it also takes the "Smart" out of "Smart Phone." You see, I would like to be able to take a quick glance at my phone to see if I missed any calls (without first unlocking it), then if I choose to return a missed call, I should have to enter my password before the call is made. In other words, the phone app should act like all the other apps in this regard. After all, other smart phones often have an LED that flashes to notify you of missing calls (without the need to unlock the phone first). Come on Apple, we know you can do better than this!
It seems strange that if I get a notification on my lock screen about some breaking news from "The New York Times" app, that I have to enter my password to view it (after swiping the notification). It's as if the news is some big secret that we don't want "unauthorized users" to view, yet the phone allows anyone to return a call from my lock screen without first unlocking it.
At the very least, there should be a setting to allow the user to choose how this action is handled.

My iphone screen is not visible - i can hear texts and calls, but cannot access them

I have an iphone 4s and I am not able to see the screen - it's blank, however, I can hear when I receive a text and call.

no you cant

I'd like a basic icon in the lock screen to indicate Text, Email etc. Seems all I can have in lock screen is full alert (with or without detail) or am I missing something?

My brand new 4S will not let me end a call my screen goes black nor will it let me text while i'm on a call?

Remove the plastic screen protector, case, or whatever is interferring with the proximity sensor.
If that is not the issue, basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Why does my phone come up as my email address when texting or calling

When I call or text anyone from my iPhone my email address is displayed not my number. It happens with whoever I'm texting or calling.
Any ideas??
Todd

All iPhone apps are digitally signed using the Apple ID they were purchased with. You CANNOT change this. You either enter the password for the original Apple ID, or you delete the App and download a new copy using the new Apple ID. Free apps that do not have lots of in-app content (like your Solitare High Score) are not a problem. Paid apps and free apps with lots of built-up/earned content can be very annoying as you have to re-pay for the app and/or build-up/earn that content again.

No text messages in Notification Center

I feel like I have all settings correct but I'm not getting any text message notifications in Notification Center. If I wanted to start over and reset everything from scratch, where do I start?

Hi,
The Messages app has Alerts in the Messages Menu > Preferences > Alerts.
The top item is a drop down of Actions.
The next line starts with a Play Sound box to be ticked and then a drop down of Sounds
There is then the Box for causing the icon in the Dock to bounce.
For the Invite variations Dialogue boxes do appear on the desktop in different places depending on the type of chat.
Test Chat ones tend to be top right of the screen.
Video chats are top centre.
Audio Only chats are to the right but below the Text invite spot.
This is where the Incoming ones appear.
You obviously don't get the invite box with out going stuff but the Chat is often where you left the last outgoing chat.
So you can set a sound to a particular actions and in some cases those could be the incoming invites.
They will work with iMessages and other IMs on AIM or Jabber accounts that you may have.
The Notifications is part of the System Preferences panes and has the options to have different types of notifications show up for some of the actions.
The items can be "Alerts" or "Banners" ( or None).
The so called Notification Center is top and far right in the Menu Bar where Spotlight used to be.
This can reprise old notifications for specific apps.
