Hi! Have tried researching this but no answers. Is there a way to disable the text notification banner at top of phone WITHOUT losing the sound notification? Want to hear when I receive a text but don't want it displayed. TIA!

The native texting app on the Turbo only has the option for notifications ON or OFF, so if you are using that, then it's all or none.


If you are using Verizon Messages +, you can go into the app settings and turn off the alert in the notification bar, and still have the audible alert sound.

Other apps  may have the same options in settings, so check whatever texting app you are using, or use Verizon messages+ which does give you that option.

I guess I said turbo but its droid ultra, sorry. So I assume this isn't an option I understand your reply?

It IS an option if you are using Verizon Messages app, or possibly other apps.  The native messaging on the Turbo (I don't know about the Ultra) has only notifications on or off, which would imply both the status bar notification and the sound.

Use a different SMS app or check the settings for notifications options.
