No Date on Lock screen - SOLVED

Hi Guys,
i cannot get the date displayed on the lock screen, anything i can do about this?
I just got my Galaxy S4, the date has gone missing from my lock screen clock. Now it only shows the actual time but no date at all.
I didn't purposedly disable it or anything. I just wanted to remove the personal text. So i go to the options, and select clock only. But now the date is gone as well.
Re-enabling the personal text won't work. Changing clock size doesn't work either. Changing the type of lock doesn't work. I tried all of them. Face unlock, pattern, pin, and so on. I really can't enable it.
And of course i checked that the date option is enabled. Theres a checkbox for the date alone. But this does absolutely nothing in this case.
I know it's just a small thing... But it just looks kinda stupid, that only the clock is displayed. Only things i changed on the lock screen, are the picture, and removed the personal message. Oh and added the pattern lock feature.
Phones brand new and just released. So finding advice is really difficult. So hoping this might help!
SOLUTION:
Go to: Date and time setting, change the date format, anything, check the lock screen, change back the date format if you wish to. Never give up

Help pleaseee..

check to see if the date comes back if you use another lockscreen other then pattern lock. If does work on another screen, you have to wait for an update to address the problem.
If does not then there is an issue that may be address by newer firmware.

No luck, already try the pin and the pattern now back to swype which is no lock, still no date....

Hi.
I had the same problem. I solved it by setting up the alarm. I should bring it back. You can then turn off the alarm if you don't need it. But make sure that you turn off the alarm first if it is on and then turn it on.
Hope this helps

Have you checked Settings-My device-Lock screen-Lock screen widgets- show date. Then hold down the power button, hit Restart. See if that works

[Q] Messaging > New Message

I truly love my S4 but this is driving me insane.
When receiving a message instead of telling me who it's from and an idea of what the message is... I get this:
Edit: Apparently I can't post an image of the issue until after 10 posts. In any case, my notification, both on the lock screen and on the notification bar, say Messaging, and underneath says New Message. Normally, or at least with my S3, it would show who the text message is from, and then a small preview of what the message says.
Has anyone else had this issue or know of a fix? I am trying to stay away from rooting my phone, for now. I am using Nova Launcher Prime but I don't see why this would effect anything. A reboot has done nothing so far.

In message app enter menu and after, settings thhan tick the last option before signature, in italian "anteprima messaggio"

Thanks. For some reason I didn't think to go into the settings of the actual messaging screen. I was able to put a check mark beside "Preview Message" and that has solved my issue. Thanks Again!

Why isn't it on ny default?

I guess Samsung left it off to keep the privacy of unexperienced users on Android that have no idea how to change settings by themselves.

I'm almost definitely sure mine was on by default as I turned it off. It showed the message on the lock screen too.

Lightflow kills one hand operation

I don't use it very often but I do like one handed operation. Today I realized that it wasn't working so I started undoing all the mods/setup I've been working on. Turns out it was lightflow. I can disable it in accessibility options and one hand operation immediately starts working.
Are there any other decent led control apps to try?
Thought I'd post here to hopefully save anyone else the trouble if they run into the same problem.

It seems like having anything enabled under Accessibility kills one-handed mode.
But Light Flow is working for me without the Accessibility setting. There's a new setting called Notification Access in the Security section.
Try enabling Light Flow there and see if it works. As I said, mine is working that way, but I'm also rooted, so maybe that has something to do with it...

Yeah it was enabled there too. Maybe there's just something wrong with mine because my wife just informed me that hers is working find and all she did was install it and forget about it. I had to enable options I've never used before like the one to make the led flash even when the screen is on, in order to get or to do anything at all.
I'm rooted too.

Make sure that you have the LED settings under 'Settings' > 'Display' to have "Charging" and "Notifications" checked along with the checkbox in 'Security' > 'Notification Access'.

Lol, looks like that was my problem. For some reason I thought they all needed to be turned off so I did that initially and didn't even think to revisit it.
Thanks.

So we don't need to enable it in accessibility? Cuz that ruins most features. Makes you disable them.

Mine is currently disabled in Accessibility and enabled in Security -> Notification Access. In Display -> LED indicator, I have Charging, and Notifications checked.
Working like a charm.

Works good this way with or without root. Just installed.opened.enabled the notification access. And use. Doesn't need enabled in accessibility.

In my S3 they had to be disabled in stock settings to work. In this they need to be enabled in stock settings for it to work. I know lightflow told me to disable it in stock settings on the S3.

Hi, have you checked the settings to make sure it's not silent? Check my screen shot. You'd have to tap where it says silent.

Would you like me to take a look remotely ? If yes, pm me

Is there a "Do Not Disturb" setting in Sounds and Notifications? I don't have mine yet, so I can't check for myself. but that has tripped my up a few times on my HTC 10.

If Do Not Disturb is not on, look for a setting called "Smart settings".... it is under General > Smart Functions [Label] > Smart Settings.... if you set the home screen settings to enable the Smart Bulletin Screen you can also get to it from there

Appreciate the replies folks..I just downloaded Textra, but the stock messaging App is still silenced

Same problem

Maybe I'll do the same cause I'd rather not use textra

This is a feature of android 7.0. When you receive the message, swipe down from the top to show your notifications, press and hold the messaging notification and then you should get an option to select that states Don't silence. It's probably set to Show Notifications silently.

Thank you sir!!

Getting a reminder keeps screen on indefinitely

Until I select snooze or acknowledge or dismiss. This for sure contributes to draining the battery. Any way to put the reminders on a timed amount then turn off the screen? Help appreciated!

I have similar issue. I get reminder on the lock screen( not using always on display) for a calendar event and it would go away after what ever screen timeout setting is, then it comes right back. It would repeat this forever until calendar event is dismissed.
Is this what you get?

Yes! Don't like the idea of having screen on all night should a reminder pop up

Did you try going to settings then notifications then scroll all the way down to the bottom and select notification reminder and then select off (it is off by default on my phone and I don't have your issue).

Mine is already off, hmm.

Did you setup as new phone or restore from a backup. In my very recent experience restoring from backup causes all sorts of issues. My battery life was not bad but was not anywhere near my wife's S8 (more or less similar usage patterns). I would be on 20% whilst she would still have more than 50% remainig charge. I finally decided to take the plunge and reset the phone and do a fresh install. The result is a battery that lasts twice as long as before.
My 2 cents.

Is it from the Samsung reminder app? You can try do not disturb mode. But before you do that go into Settings -> App -> App manager -> Reminder -> Notifications
Make sure Set as priority is turned off.
Also try changing, from the same menu as above, On lock screen from hide content to do not show notifications, if that applies.
But it may not help too much, looking into the permissions it says "Prevent phone from sleeping" under Other app capabilities...
I know it's a pain but if you set a reminder, it makes sense that the screen will stay on for the fact that it should catch your eye and cause you to look at why it's on, thus reminding you about whatever you needed to do as soon as possible. Would be nice to disable that function for those that do not want this though.

The reminders are from what I have set in or via Google. I understand what you are saying but the AOD could just as easily have the reminder versus the entire screen on (semi-bright I might add) for the entire time until it's acknowledge. As soon as I touch the phone, I'd expect the reminder to pop right back up---every other phone I've had did this including my old Galaxy S4.......was just hoping there was a timer we could set or at least limit the time the screen stays on with the reminder
