How do you prevent the M500 from automatically briefly displaying an incoming text message.

I dont understand the problem what happens?

[Guest Sir Max]

I think he means as soon as he recieves a text that it automatically opens onto his screen. Therefore interupting whatever he is doing.

Im not sure if im correct though?

Thats correct it can also be embarrassing if i leave my phone on my desk at work and I get a personal message when a colleague is nearby etc.... can it be turned off ??

[Guest Xenzo1990]

Ouch... Really? Can anyone else shed light on this. Because its a serious problem.

[Guest Sir Max]

Lol Im having pictures of you recieving a "private" text at work. If your collegues really are so nosy enough to read it then that can be annoying. But then again if I saw a "private" text message on someones phone next to me Id have a quick glance :)

All I can say until someone with more knowlege posts is put a sticker on your phone says "OI HANDS OFF BUDDY" Or just keeping it in your pocket all the time.

Good luck

In settings>sounds&notifications>notifications>event[messaging: New text message]

untick Display message on screen

That should do the trick.

I know what he means, it doesnt actually open outlook, but a alert dialog opens with "new text messages: *first hundred or so characters of text*" along with whos its from :)

I've been worried a bit, when mum borrows my phone for BigBrother... (>.>)

I work with some nosey people and im very forgetful and always leavng my phone on the desk so someone was sooner or later going to see a cheeky text and much fun would have been had at my expense I suspect lol...

[Guest Xenzo1990]

Thanks aswell guys, because ide be pretty ticked off with that aswell. So its good to know i can turn it off.

[Guest Sir Max]

Lol good contributions there everybody. Atleast weve solved that. I am thinking of getting an M500 but Ill probably get a c550.
