SMS Privacy

[Grunts]

I've just picked up a Galaxy S2, and have discovered that all inbound sms messages are displayed on the locked screen. I've installed Handcent, which can hide the messages, but to do this involves completely switching off all notification alerts. So I can't hear them coming in.

Any suggestions for a way for notifications to be heard but not seen?

For Handcent just switch to make the messages private. There's a setting in there where only "New Message" will be seen on the notification bar, and not the content. You dont have to turn off notifications. I cant guide you exactly where as its been a long time since I've switched from Handcent to GOSMS, I just remember I used that feature previously. I think its somewhere in "notification settings".

yes, in the handcent settings under notifications there should be an option to enable popup, make sure to uncheck that and you should be all set.
