currently when i get an sms i have to:
-press a hard key
-unlock the slider
-press the message tab
-then when i get to messages it isn't set to the latest message it is set to the last message checkeds
-then i have to scroll to message 1
coming from android that is a lot of button presses. in android you could actually read the first couple of lines from the lockscreen. is there a way for me to reduce the button presses?
Install S2U2.
S2U2 will be able to display the message on the screen (while the phone remains locked).
Do you have win6.5 lock enabled? when you get a message it should have a message slider and if you slide that it will automatically take you to the sms tab (or email tab if you got an email or missed call tab if you got a missed call or.....)
Set titanium as home screen then after unlock hit text.
Or you could:
-press a hard key
-tap the slider
-unlock the new slider which pops up
should take you directly to your new message.

this takes me to the messages tab, but it does not take me to the latest message. it takes me to the last message i checked when i was in that tab so i still have to scroll once.
i will check out that s2u2 and report back.
ok so i downloaded s2u2 and love the functionality of it. i hate the fact that it looks like iphone though i wish it were more original looking. or even the same but a different colorway, especially in the message bubble that pops up. but hey, it was free and works great so thanks for suggesting it.
much better than the stock lock screen for sure!

There is a disturbing amount of themes for S2U2, if you don't like the stock one (which does mimic the iphone alot) you should look at the other ones.

How do I enable this, I've seen the message slider in other peoples screenies, but I'm not sure how to enable it.
Many thanks
install the hd mini unlock screen, shows most of the message when you wake up the phone with out having to slide to unlock

You just click the slider instead of sliding it. It obviously only works if there's something to show you.

So I understand, after a missed call, email sms etc. do you see a number on the unlock slider? If so, and you tap the unlock slider, you should see one or more notification sliders pop down. Are those not appearing? If that's the case, have you ever installed anything intended to modify the lockscreen in any way?

Yes I have (See screenie), but even before this change I've not had the other icons come up. I've always wondered how I could get them to show up since having the phone.
I'm on Orange network (UK) and on official 1.66 rom.
Thanks for your help.
LOL, it has a little number "1" on your slider, lol
just tap that a$$

Still nothing, that screenie was taken after tapping
It's not important, it would just be nice.
well it is displaying right. normally you would just touch the slider instead of sliding it and a secondary slider would appear, but if that is not happening for you i don't know where in the settings to enable/disable it.

I can't imagine why it's not working. I've attached a cab with the original lockscreen files. You may try installing it and see if that works. Outside of that, you may have a reg setting inadvertantly changed somewhere.
@methodz: Are you still using S2U2? If not, or you go back to the oem LS, I think we can take your original question one step further (literally). Not sure if you've seen this, but you can change the commmand of the notification slider to go directly to your email inbox instead of the manila tab, or have the sllider actually call your voicemail directly instead of taking you to the dialpad. I dunno about sms as I haven't tried it, but either way it may worth looking at the bottom of this post here by Da_G: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4268138&postcount=3. It will require a tad of registry editing, but for me it's worth it. Less steps to get to things.

I want to start this threat to put together information in order to sort out why the device lock delay (see below) appears and how to solve it.
wm6.5 device lock app has changed from "tap here and next there" to a slider style like app you know from s2u2.
problem:
device lock is enabled
Code:
HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDeviceLockEnable=1
wake up the device by short pressing the power button
device lock screen is displayed instantly
it takes ~2 seconds until the slider of the device lock screen is activated and can be slided.
if you use device lock it becomes really annyoing.
there are some threads about this like this one, but the solution is not working on a Touch HD.
can anybody sched some light onthe problem why and where it appears or maybe someone already found a solution.
please post any useful information.
please do not post tips like use s2u2 or any other locking app - I do not want to use them.
the only thing i can thing of is use s2u2 or any other locking app

latest build 23001 still has this annoying delay
Iv noticed this too... The biggest annoyance for me is you turn the device on and the backlight isnt very bright, makes it near impossible to see the screen in daylight. Is it possible to have the backlight come on full when you press the power button?
i have this problem too. i think it is a serious bug of wm6.5
just hoping it will be fixed when the official release come out.
god i thought i was the only one, something about my config...
and i was exited about the new 6.5 lock screen,
but then it works like all the other M$ 6.5 sh!t, it doesn't
had to switch away from it
May be this help you:

thanks for your help - but that was the solution i am talking about in my first post and unfortunately does not work.
also find this intensely annoying! if you look, on my hd, in the top left corner a small windows flag appears to indicate that the slider is locked, it disappears once the slider is active, and there is a definite exact time out, i dont think its random or a load time
hope this is sorted cos its rubbish!

What I've done that got rid of most of the delays regarding the lock screen on my Xperia:
I got 6 cpr files from my device's /Windows directory: LS_LockScene_xxxxxxx.cpr, LS_AlarmScene_xxxxxxx.cpr and LS_PhoneAlertScene_xxxxxxx.cpr. Get files that fit the resolution of your device, they are in pairs for portrait and landscape
opened each one of them in a text editor (they are XMLs inside)
removed all "ControlSequence" sections from them (those sections are small (like 4 entries) and big (up to 21 entries). These sections are animations of arrows. Arrows will still be there after that, they just won't animate.
uploaded cpr files back to /Windows, overwriting originals
soft-reseted.
Hope it works on your devices too

yeah. and with 6.5 23003 onwards in the top right corner an "X" (for close) appears. only when it goes off you can access the slider.
it seems as if an app is started.

great. that helped a lot!
now the lock screen is flickering shortly and the whole lock screen slides in once more from the bottom to the top but then the slider is instantly accessible.
from a time perspective a great improvement!
update:
basically you can delete the whole layer
Code:
<Layer ID="SlidePath" >
...
</Layer>
which removes the animation of the arrows and the arrows themselves.
do not delete this section if you do not know in which direction to slide the button
however, the delay is still ~1 second. but i think i can live with that allthough it is annoying to wait one stupid second to proceed
the delay you get when recieving a call with lockscreen on is caused by the slide to answer feature of alot of the new dialers. it conflicts with the popup call answer screen with wm 6.5. to fix this can find a dialer that doesnt have slide to answer feature. the backlight problem came from backlight.dll in the kaiser, using a new one from stock rom now and it works perfect
If you enable the enter a pin number after slide, there is no delay at all. I know this isnt a solution i hate entering a pin. however, i have a felling the pin app is running in the background and thus you dont get the flicker where it flicks from Start menu back to the lock app. Hence if you could create a dummy pin app, it could work to stop the delay.

that's true. i replaced LS_SimplePinScene_480x800.cpr with an empty one and allthough not using pinlock, the lock app did not work at all.
What if we designed something where when you slide it calls a mortscript or something and enters 0000+OK to by pass the pin screen (assuming you set pin to 0000). Then you edit the Pin screen so it is just a clear page, so you dont even see the pin screen flash up.
Not sure if this is at all possible as im not a programmer. Just a thought

good idea. maybe someone can change LS_SimplePinScene_480x800.cpr so that it does not expect the pin from screen but is embedded directly into the cpr file?
can anybody who has a better understanding of cpr files or the lock app give us some tips?

Ah yes, +1, that small icon at the top is not enough :S
settings - menu - all settings - sounds and notifications - notifications tab - scroll down events to 'message:new message' - tick display message on screen

maybe i am old fashioned, but on my old iphone, se w910i each message that comes in popup as preview on the home screen - this is the problem
Give it a try, send yourself a message, then jump to the home page. Its not a problem at all, and doesn't look out of place against the manila skin.
*update* oh right, i just re-read what the OP wants and this is slightly different, this just shows the message, it doesn't access it (so you can't reply directly)
I did get a HD2 today while I've been using HTC Hero (android) for about 4 months.
Now CAN I get some sort of sms-popup or preview in the lockscreen when I get a sms? I hate the way to go to the sms now, I want to see it directly when I get it aswell as I want the screen to turn on!
If this can't be possible on this phone, then well will hand this biggy thing back to the store!

It took me all of 3 seconds to find it, read Samuels instructions carefully.

Thx so much haha! I didnt scroll down to Message.
ok i see what the man wants and i did what the others said. heres the problem. it flashes up the msg preview for all of 5 seconds while its awake but if on standby i only get a blink of it b4 the lockscreen takes over... the lockscreen is mahoosive with 1 lil slider so wheres the option for the preview to be part of the lockscreen ie. preview to stay on there unill unlocked.. is this possible cus altho this thread taugt me something new its pointless if the preview blinks in my pocket and when i come to have a quick check of my screen its just the tap/slide new msg slider again as before... hmmmmm helpage!
I think what he's after is something similar to the S2U2 option to view unread SMS/MMS/Email etc while the screen is locked... Personally I don't think its possible with the native lockscreen, but I'd love to be proven wrong...

sort of, right my last phone was a c902 and if the keypad was locked and u got a txt it would pop up a window stating who its from and the 1st line of the txt and if u didnt notice you had a txt but took it out of your pocket say 10 mins later and just clicked a button to wake it up but not unlock the keys the window, ya know just quickly checkin it see if your popular lol, that window would still be there... then ya can either unlock and read or put strait back in ur pocket to read later... its soooooo simple it should be standard. the preview thing on here is only really useful for when im browsing like now iv just had a txt and i know who its from lol but on the lockscreen if you test it out it littery just flashes.grr lol

Just as stated before: Take a look at S2U2 2.41. It does exactly what you want.
oh yea baby that works a treat! much better and bigup respects man lol all is goo now
question from first post was solved, but i dont want to create another topic, because my case is connected.
anybody knows if there is any possibility to get sth like it was in wm5 during receiving sms ?
ok, now i can have a popup, great, but only with one key - LHK (Hide) ...
on wm5 i had RHK with options like: save as read, delete, reply
and im missing that option very much ... cause when i get delivery report im unable to delete it at once ... i must go to htc messages, open it and delete ...

How did you get that upper taskbar? Is there a cab or something? I'd like to give it a try. perhaps you could share the cab and instructions?
Thanks a lot.
When I get a call come through if i cant answer it, how do i put the caller through to voicemail?
I know i used to be able to do this on my old phone by pressing the call end button.
This does not seem to work on the HD2...very annoying
Any ideas guys?
doesn't it give you the option on the screen?
swipe left to answer, swipe right to reject
volume toggle
Try the user manual, all kinds of basic stuff,& tech stuff too,.. On mine the volume button can reject,& be set to send text saying your busy,& will call back...
lol it shows on the screen when someone is calling.
the slider is in the middle.
left side is green 'answer'
right side is red 'reject'
you slide to whichever side you want to do.
Ah, i worked out what it was....
I had that slide to lock thing on my phone (SU2 i think)
What it was doing was not giving me the option to slide the bar the other way to reject a call.
I have removed it fom my phone and im now able to reject a call or send a text now.
thanks for the help guys
Does not the red hardware button do the same (the one used to turn phone off) ?

you don't really need to uninstall S2U2 for that... I was confused by it at first, as well, but then all you need to do is to disable everything under Settings\Phone (Actually, you get to disable "show caller id" and then everything else is immediately greyed out)

I looked and searched (a few forums also) and cant find an answer. I have a TMOUS HD2 with their new ROM freshly installed (yesterday) and when I get a text message it will show the message but the only option I have is to "Hide" it. I tried clicking on it and everywhere else but it wont open the message unless I go to "Messages" so is there a reg edit I can do to get it to show "open" instead of hide...Thx...Tj
P.S. I would rather not install any programs but would like to work with what the phone has.
Hmm am I the only one with this problem?
no this isn't exactly a problem. This is a feature that is on the phone where if your at your lock screen or your display screen iss hut off thats what shows when you get to the lock screen. It's so you can view your text and who it's from before you unlock your phone and go into their threaded message.
I'm sure there is a way to disable it via reg but not sure.

as with all things it can glitch. if you have your lock screen disabled but then you hit your right button for end call to turn off the display then touch another button to bring it back it could possible bring that up. I will see if I can find someone that knows the answer.
