Help Confused!!!! Whos phone does this??

[biggalaxy]

When I receive a text (even if i haven't touched my screen for ages and the screen is locked) the whole text message with all the words and who its from will scroll across the screen to show its arrived.

All i want is a sound and an envelope ikon! Not the whole message for anyone sitting near the phone to read!

Is everyone else's phone like this? Can anyone help pleaseeeeee????

Thank you!

ps. i have not installed any apps at all - i am just using the normal phone's text message system.

That's weird.

Never used the SGS2, but generally, you can turn stuff like that off.

Open the SMS app, hit menu, settings, notification settings, is there any option there to turn pop ups off?

You could also disable notifications altogether and let something like SMS Popup handle notifications. You could even try another messaging app?

Do you have this phone? And it doesn't do this?

Thanks!

I have the SGS2 and my messages scroll at the very top of the screen as well...I looked in settings and couldn't find a way to disable without actually removing the notification message in the corner.

Doesn't look like theres any option to turn off pop ups.

Ive come to the conclusion theres no way to turn it off apart from to disable notifications altogether and use a notification app instead. Its a shame as i dont really want to use an app!
