Disabling notifications on an S5

[Metsfan1]

Hi, in the past week alone I have pocket-dialed 911 twice. Total is probably around 8 or 9 times. I'm so sick of it. It happens because the screen will wake up from a text message, and my thigh will hit the "Emergency Call" button on the bottom of the screen. I can't find any way to disable this setting. If I cant disable the screen wake-up, can I disable emergency call? Is there anything at all I can do? It's very annoying and is quite an inconvenience.
I appreciate any help provided.

Thanks!
Andrew

Go to Settings --> Applications section --> Messages. In the next menu go to Notifications and tap on it. You will now find a section called Preview Message.

You will find two checkboxes - one with Lock screen and one with Status bar. Uncheck whatever and you're good to go.

I see the preview message, but it is not a section. I can either check it or uncheck it. I've had it unchecked for a long time, still can't find a solution. Thank you for your help, however.

Try this one - Settings --> Sound and notification --> Notification - While locked --> Do not show notifications
