Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone knows how to deactivate the text preview showing up on your lock screen. It drives me crazy that anyone who picks up my phone can see the first few words of my latest text. Is there a way to turn this off? Even when I added the extra security to unlock the phone, it did me no good as you can still read the text preview while the phone is locked. I'm going in circles. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it!
I'm going to assume that you are using the Handcent messaging app, since I don't think the native app has a popup. If I'm wrong then disregard. Open Handcent, click the little wrench (or Menu > Settings) in the upper right corner, scroll to and select Popup Setting, make sure Privacy Mode is checked. The popup should still work, but it shouldn't show the text of the message until you unlock the phone. I have not verified this, but that's the way it's supposed to work.
