iOS Lock Screen Notifications

[jaseone]

I didn't think email notifications were switched on for the lockscreen by default anyway? Even if they are then just switch them off at night or permanently, problem solved.

They're off by default

I'm very surprised no one has brought up the Boxcar app yet. It allows you to send all the notifications to one central app that allows for setting "sleep hours". Work nicely with iOS5, too.

And this is the reason I started this thread to begin with. I wanted to know if I was missing a solution, or if there was something in iOS 5 that would accommodate what I'm after. I'm looking at Boxcar right now. Thank you.

Yeah, I did...in the text you quoted. I have a stand I put the phone in and that's so I can easily slide the alarm off or tap the snooze button. Face down means trying to find it, pick it up, turn it over and then slide or tap.

No, I hear you .. For me, that's actually a "feature." Anything that helps me wake up in the morning, and if it is fumbling around to turn off the snooze before I, well, snooze, then its for the better

This is the core reason I jailbreak my phone, for CalendarPro4. (Great tweak, horribly undescriptive name)

It allows me to schedule alert behaviors/profiles so errant texts or alerts won't wake me up, and I don't have to remember to toggle settings or place the phone on it's face.

I know you don't want (can't) jailbreak, but I just wanted to let you know you're not alone.

Look, I know this sounds all nit picky and what-not. I'm glad so many are willing to "settle". I will also end up "settling". But I would venture to say that if what I am inquiring about existed in the OS a good many of you that have found workarounds would gladly use the functionality.

And 2 out of 3 of the OSs I've used in the last year had the capability. I miss it.

No matter what apple comes up people will always find something to complain about.

And no matter what Apple omits, people will always think those of us that notice it are complainers rather than admit Apple might genuinely be overlooking a good feature.

I guess I could see the point of this but I've never had this problem. I dock the phone with an iHome stand and use it as my alarm clock. If I get a message at night I never hear it but it is waiting for me when I get up.

Just curious, does the iHome stand bring a functionality that helps with what I'm describing, or are you just saying if your phone is getting notifications at night you just aren't hearing them?

I don't think so. There's an iHome app that goes with the hardware but I've gotten up in the morning and the ESPN score notification is on the screen but it didn't wake me up. I don't think the app or dock can suppress the alert. And no I don't have it on silent at night. I think that since the app is running at night the iOS 5 notifications should only do the flippy bar across the top and then go away so when you wake up you don't have a bunch of alerts popping up right away.

I have to be on call so I can't have the phone on silent. If a call comes in I can hear it and get up but the notifications or texts don't wake me. Lucky I guess.
