lock screen text widget - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

when i get a text it shows on lock screen, if i drag down on it a empty
box shows below but cant click it (its not the widget for messages)
am i missing a setting somehow? should it show the text?

There is an option in the sms settings under more for preview and it will show the message text on the lock screen. Does that help?

yeah it shows from who and message up top in small window
but trying to find out if you drag down on it there is a blank window below
that has nothing in it and cant click it.....

I think it's a bug coz if you slowly click it it will eventually go to your messaging app. But it doesn't bother me coz I normally go to the notification window to open my msgs

Yea I'm not sure about it either..almost like it's trying to set a widget or something.
When I get a text, I click the envelope icon on the lockscreen, the box gets smaller then I click it again and it opens straight to that text.

I don't like how the text notification works either. You should just be able to touch the notification window and swipe to open the text app like on the N2!!

When you tap the notification on the lock screen, you swipe in the box that pops up and it takes you directly to the message.

Is it possible (couple of homepage questions)

Is it possible to:
1. Place direct dial contact shortcuts on the homescreen that have a picture or an icon? I lost myfavs with the cyan rom (and its worth it) but adding contact shortcuts just get me the rolodex icon for each contact and Id like to have a picture icon for each.
2. Put a notifications shortcut on the homescreen? I hate having to hit the menu button and then hit the notifications shortcut. Id like to have it right on my screen.

Better Cut will do it for you.
why would you want a notification short cut? all you do is drag the top of the phone down and the notification window comes down. no need to press menu or anything like that

While I didnt know this (thanks!) what I was referring too was the ability to look at my home screen and see a notification for missed call, or new email, etc. That way if i see I missed a call I can touch that icon instead of going through the notifications menu.

how to turn off 'New SMS' notification.

Getting the white message symbol in the task bar is driving me crazy especially when using chompsms or smspopup.
I've got into my default messaging settings and turned off notifications but still get that annoying icon every time I get a message.
what am I doing wrong?
Open up your msg app, then hit the menu button, get into settings, change it.

hey there!
Normally I always come to a solution, but this one is hard... while it seems easy.
Been searching the web for a while now, but no one seems to have this exact problem.
Problem:
Everytime I receive a Text/SMS message, i get notified by a white envelope in the notification bar. it says: 'New Message(s)' with beneath it 'You have an unread message'. So then I click on the icon/text and my message app (handscent SMS) launches. I can reply etc. but when i return to my home screen (doesn't matter if i tick the 'back' button of the 'home' button) the white envelope is still there. So i have to open the notification bar and press 'clear'. ****@NOY!NG!!
Thing is that I don't know which app notifies me, so i can't turn it off! I already ticked-off all the notification boxes (and sounds) is the system message app as well as in handscent sms. But that damn white envelope is still there (with notification sound)!
I figured out one thing; I can change the notification sound of the d*mn white envelope just bij changing the 'General' notification sounds at the settings menu.
So then I thought maybe is the notification from android itself. Does anyone ever had the same problem? suggestions to fix it? thanks
you would drive me crazy!
peace

I don't use GO sms, I use Handcent SMS.
I just get 4-6 txts in less than a minute. It's so annoying. I wish i could stop it.
Ok, the reason i ask is i get the same thing i get about 5 or 8 texts always the same text i think it's something two do with the default sms program conflicting with third party app

note 4 screen on with notifications

My note 4 turns the lockscreen on for 5-10 seconds every time i get a notification. I cant find anywhere in settings to make the screen stay off when i get notifications. I did download and set up acdisplay, then uninstalled it. I dont remember whether the screen was doing this before i had installed acdiaplay, or the issue arose after I tried acdisplay. Thanks for any help.
Under notifications settings there is an option to show previews of messages on the lockscreen. Uncheck it and that should help.

Pretty sure that just prevents the body of the message showing on the lockscreen, it'll still show a message block that just says "new message" and it will light the display on the process.

It does still show there is a message on the lock screen, but it no longer wakes up the screen, which is what I thought was the bigger problem. I wish it only showed in the nav bar like my previous phone.

Im still looking to see if thats a possibility to get rid of it as i cant stand the "new message" notification on my screen.
I use Textra just for that reason.

I can't seem to find where to enable pop ups from the messages app on the lock screen. I turned on the option in the messages settings but it says it pops up on all screens except the lock screen.
Has anyone figured out how to get the pop up on the lock screen as Well?

Open message+ app > settings > scroll down to Enable Popup Over Lock Screen > check mark. There are other settings that show up after checking this setting.

Hold your finger on the message app button until the a little screen pops up, press App info. , press Notifications, press On lock screen, press show content, then press Set as Priority. Not sure if this is what you're looking for though.
FYI message+ has many more options than message has. Give it a try.
Not seeing message+ in the app store. Who makes it?
** UPDATE ** I found that it is Verizon's messaging app.

There is no option to show content.
I did, didnt like the inability to customize it......... like customizing the photo in the desktop screen.
See attached photo regarding how to 'show content" etc.
See attached photo regarding customization of Message+. Open Message+, press 3 dots on upper right hand of screen, touch customize.
Hope this helps.
Go to messages, click settings, tap notifications (mine said "on time" then message preview toggle and pop up toggle are in there
On my S7, when a text would come in, the phone would go from "clock screen" to "lock screen" and an abbreviated message would show up.
NOW, on the S9, it's like the whole message pops up! Wish I could set it the other way. I guess I'm just more used to that...
I already turn on all show content in lock screen but when i receive new message just only led notification. Edge lighting and pop-up not working. Now, im using go-sms, edge lighting can work but i cant see pop-up message. Anyone know how to fix it? My device is SM-N950U
