Lock screen and sms toast notifications

[Dave Blake]

Lets keep it civil in here please.

to call something stupid and dumb multiple times IMO shows immaturity but I do apologies for laughing at you and calling you a kid ... and I have no idea what your envisioning but the scenario you mention don't make sense. And as far as you having "more experience in corporation" that may be but I currently work on an investigation team where at times we are investigating co-workers, and my former job was working for RIM as tier 2 so security/privacy is almost impacted in my brain... I could flip it over or put away in a drawer BUT really should I have to for such a small feature in 2013? but again for some it can be a nice feature, some may not care either way but a disable feature IMO should be an option and I hope we see it in an update.

I agree the use of the word STUPID in this context is uncivil lets don't do that anymore.

They need to make the touch area bigger for toasts, I find myself clicking the toast sometimes 3-5 times to open it. Seems like they want you to tap dead center and can't have thumb outside the toast near the bottom even a little.

I can't seem to find where I read this but there will be an update regarding this. It will only show the clock on the screen with low light and no notifications at all. Something called privacy mode but I'm maybe wrong. I'll keep looking.

This is not a stupid request. Whether I work in a secure area with sensitive data, or am in the ladder years of my stellar career at a big corporation, I will ultimately use my phone as a way to share media with those around me. If you are showing someone a video/pic/map/game from your phone, and a text comes in, they can read it. That is a major issue, and I can only hope that Microsoft address the issue soon.

How about when you are showing pictures on your phone, or in an instance when you hand your phone over to someone during a call....
I have a lot of business texts that I prefer not to be seen by other business people.

I deal in medical equipment, and I have pictures of all my equipment on my phone. I do not want someone I am doing business to see my texts then I am showing them pictures of my equipment.

Those that think the "Toast notification" is not intrusive, must be using your phone as play toys, and not for important things.
