When I get a text, I noticed neither the Notification window nor the lockscreen will say whom it is from.
If you are in the notification panel you can click the notification and it will take you to the SMS app where you can see who sent the message, but if you click on it in the lockscreen all you get is an empty pop-up window in the newly-created lockscreen page.
Is everyone else experiencing this?
Neat new feature, the lockscreen pages, but I think the interaction with SMS messages is a miss... perhaps they released it before testing that.

I think it was an oversight...
It will probably get fixed in the next build, but those are usually few and far between when dealing with Samsung and AT&T.

Did you all tick this setting?
That setting is checked, although even when that is enabled, it shows on the lockscreen but it doesnt open the SMS app when you click it. Only an extra transparent window opens up in the lock screen.

I can't figure that transparent box either. Rather annoying, but when a text comes in the preview works in the status bar.

I get the box also...
But i have my message icon in the shortcut down on bottom of lockscreen. If you stay your swipe on the icon it launches messages...
Hope someone sheds light on the Grey box!

Just pull down on the lock screen and it would let you tap it and then it will take you to the message..
Or when the message is first receive you can tap it
Works for me

This box?
Try swiping within thr box (as it says) to open messages. It is so you dont accidentally 'read' the message in your pocket.

How this works is when you get a text. Click on the text on the lock screen. A transparent box opens. Whem that box opens swipe your finger in that box. It will take you directly to the text from that person to respond. It works as its intended.

i miss the preview message on my lg optimus g that would give you a little preview of what is in the text, that way i can choose if i want to answer it or not from the lock screen instead of going all the way into the messaging app. also if you get a text message and unlock the phone, at the bottom the text message icon has no number showing how many text messages waiting while in the notification bar it says i have a text waiting.

Preview in Notification but NOT Lock Screen
So I like seeing the SMS preview (name and first line of text) in my notification bar pull down, but not on the lock screen. That's just kinda weird to me, they should be separate. I don't want anyone to preview my messages whyile my phone is password or pattern locked.
Anyone have a clue how to configure this???

I've tried different SMS/MMS popup apps. Many are very similar and sort of recently found one that almost satisfies me, popup 7, though it has it limits like MMS notifications not working. Is there an app that when you get a message it notifies you like normal in the status bar and when you click on the notification, via the dropdown, instead of going to the messaging app a popup will show for quick reply and such things. If there isn't one, this would be an awesome app to develop IMO.

+1 on GO SMS Pro, it works great and is highly customizable. Has popups notifications in bar, notification privacy, individual notifications, can customize every single thing about the app. Even make DIY themes right from the apps built in thememaker(separate free add-on) etc etc etc etc. It's the best 3rd party sms app I've used IMO

I use sms popup. it still goes off your stock messaging app just adds a popup.
Well none of those let you automatically bring out a pop-up for quick reply after you click on the notification. Those popups overlay anything your doing automatically. I was looking for something that notifies you of a message and when you click on it from the notification bar a quick reply pop-up comes out. So essentially you chose when the pop-up comes out. I don't think there is one. Would be a great app to make though I don't know how to.

As the title says, I want to remove the message preview widget on the lockscreen. If i turn ON the message preview (under Messages->Settings->Preview message) i get the message widget showing the sender and the message text, if i turn the preview off i still get the message widget but this time it just shows the sender as "Messaging" and the message text as "New message".
I have attached 2 screenshots showing both screens.
I have tried with the "Multiple widgets" option turned on and off with the same result.
However if i completely turn message notifications off (Messages->Settings->Notifications), it goes away, but then i dont get any notifications of messages.
Is there any way to just turn off that lockscreen widget but still have the normal notifications like the S2 and S3?
Thanks in advance
Bump !!
I desperately want to know the answer to this. What's the point of lock screen widgets like dashclock etc if the horrible TW notifications take priority and appear over the top !
Anyone found the answer to this ?
Bump this is a rather stupid feature. I want to be able to read my preview n notifications without it going on lockscreen

In the messaging app if you go to settings and scroll down, just untick "preview message"? You won't get previews on lockscreen or status bar BUT you should still get normal notifications in status bar.

As i said if i untick that option, it just displays generic text on the lockscreen widget, as shown in my screenshot. I don't want the lockscreen widget to be displayed at all, but still keep normal notifications for messages.
This is a lockscreen widget created by Samsung.
You can press and hold you finger on it and put it on the trash.

I tried that also, it doesnt work. It only works for lockscreen widgets you added manually, like music player etc.
I see missed calls also appear in the annoying widget, and its location is to the right of the main lockscreen, all manually added lockscreens are to the left of the main lockscreen.
Bump! I would also like to know the answer to this question!

Unfortunately I don't think you can remove it. I also dont like it, why cant I just click on the notification to launch the messaging app? Why display that stupid empty box?
I think i've exhausted all options to get rid of it, our only hope is that Samsung allows us the option to disable it on their next firmware.
Use a different lock screen.......

Bump. Would love to know how to disable the damn thing.
I've set up Dash Clock to replace the stock lockscreen widget, but every time I get a message or a missed call it reverts back to the ugly default Samsung widget.
I suspect that an update will fix it. It looks as if it was unfinished.

Sorry to bump this but I was searching for this issue...well, the music app displaying on the lock screen issue to be exact.
Even when I end the app through the task manager and the clearing of ram memory it will still show up for a good 5 or 10 minutes on my lock screen, sometimes sporadically. It's annoying and incredibly ugly (to me). I've reset my phone twice thinking maybe there was an issue I caused for it to still show up even when not in use.
Hopefully Samsung allows us to keep the music player from showing on the lock screen. And yes, I know I can use a 3rd party app but I prefer the stock, other than this issue.
LOCKSCREEN POLICY! that's the solution! I've been searching for ages!

Would also really like to know the answer to this. I've got Dash Clock set up to do everything, but the ugly TW widget keeps taking over, seems kind of pointless.
I found an apk in the /system/app/ directory called NotificationWidget.apk which seemed promising, but after deleting it the TW widget is still there. Surely they wouldn't have baked it right into the framework?
I know someone else with an S4 and they claim they never had this notification on the lock screen when they received a text, only the little icon in the alert bar. All of a sudden it started showing up on the lock screen for them. They don't have the option enabled to preview the texts, was a way every found out to disable this without a third party app? I wasn't even aware some people didn't have it, it's always been on mine and never bothered me.

There's an option in Messaging>settings, scroll down to 'notification settings', then 'preview message' - show a preview of received messages on the status bar and lock screen. Mines ticked and I get the lock screen text notification, so I assume if you untick you won't. I find it quite useful as it can be hard to see the small one in the status bar.

Her's isn't ticked and neither is mine. All that does is show part of the message on the lock screen, disabling it still shows the alert on the lockscreen, just as "New Message".

I'm still on stock firmware, not sure what she is on or even what carrier she's using. The only thing she said she did was install the Jellybean keyboard and that's when she noticed the notification, but I don't see how that would enable the message alert.

Was thinking more of Samsung firmware version rather than stock/custom ROM.
As per the different versions in the link below. These are the updates that Samsung push out if you're on stock.

It is quite simple but has each page has different menu settings it is easily overlooked.
Toggle to the chats page. Then hit the menu button bottom left. Then settings.
Go into notifications and move down to popup notification. Check always show popup.
Notifications now show even when phone sleeps.

So Im pretty sure that this goes in this forum if not im so sorry lol. Anyways I had just rooted my phone and what not and I have moved away from the stock texting app to the textra app. I LOVE TEXTRA! There is only one really really really annoying thing about it though. When I get a text from someone I have multiple notification icons in my notification bar if it is from more than one person. Is there anyway to fix this? For example I could have like 50 text with the stock messaging app but only one notification icon up top. If I have 50 text in textra ill have 50 notification icons up to. PLEASE HELP!
I'm not 100% sure if I get what you're saying, but I would say try disabling the stock messenger app, if you want the 50 notifications. If you only want one notif. for all the texts like the stock messenger I'd say look around in the Textra settings. hope I helped
Open up the stock messaging app, go to settings, uncheck "notifications". Then you'll only get notifications via your other messaging app.

If you're on a call and you get a text, if your notification is set to vibrate, your phone will vibrate in your ear as you're talking.
I've emailed the dev and he said he might fix it.
