Hi,
Open the messaging app.
Go to settings,notification settings,and untick preview message.
It's nothing to do with that, the lockscreen displays a big ugly grey bar stating you've got a new message or a missed call whenever you get one. It looks crap and I want to disable it too. I started my own thread a few weeks ago but got no response apart from replies like above which aren't the answer. Another one told me to turn notifications off, but although that stops the grey block on the lockscreen, it stops absolutely any notification of new messages, etc so isn't ideal really. There'll be a way to disable it with root access, but you could always install a different lockscreen to prevent it if you wanted.
Nothing under System Settings -> My device -> Lock screen?
- Multiple widgets
- Lock screen widgets
Also while on the lock screen, you can drag down and edit the widgets, try doing that while the notification thing is up?
Doesn't work unfortunately, it just overrides whatever widget you have on the lockscreen.
Does anyone know, short of using a different lockscreen?

Hey guys I've got another question. Does anybody know how to remove the clock from the lock screen?
I've gone through Setting>My Device>Lock Screen and have everything turned off.
I've even downloaded an app called "Lockscreen Policy" which has an option to disable Widget and/or Camera, I've switched both of them off as well. I don't remember the app saying anything about needing root to work.
Really annoying that the stupid clock is covering my Lock Screen Wallpaper especially when the Notification Bar is on the Lockscreen and that has a clock on it anyway.
Thanks in advance.

If you swipe down from the clock it will expand the widget. You can then long press it and drag it to the trash can that appears at the top of the screen.
Be aware, though, that if you do not have any widget there you will just see a screen with a big "+" sign asking you to add a new widget and once the phone locks the clock widget will reappear. The only way to get it to go away permanently is to replace it with a different widget.
Hope this helps.

Yea i just tried it out and see what you mean. I just don't understand the point of it being mandatory to have something. That ****s raining on my customization parade. Thanks for the input.

You should disable the stock lockscreen all together and give WidgetLocker a try. It works really well on my wife's Note 2, and it's super customizable.

I try this and is says "unable to edit in security mode". I understand I may need to "unlock" the phone w/ the security code - but how do I get back to remove the lock screen clock if I do that? I am trying to get Dashclock Widget going, but this is blocking me.
Any thoughts?

Do you have a pattern or PIN lock set? I don't think the widgets work with those.

You are correct. PIN/Pattern doesn't work with other widgets. Thanks man.
Solved it
Hi, folks -- registered just to report that I have solved this problem. Download Minimalistic Text (free), though I'm sure you already have it. Enable Multiple Widgets on the phone, then add a blank Minimalistic Text widget. Delete your clock as described above and enjoy.
even easier: Blank Lockscreen Widget (Play Store)
galaxy s4 lockscreen
This has probably already been mentioned by now but for those still strugglimg with this. Drag down the screen from were the message and clock is. Click the pen looking icon to edit delete txt and uncheck clock if that is not required. Then press save in the top right and your lock screen will be clear :good:

Drag down the life companion message and click edit. Delete text and uncheck clock if also not required then press save. No app or root required just needs to be edited from the lock screen. May need to disable your lock security while you edit. Hope this helps
hide lock screen clock Android 4.3
Hey guys,
I recently got a Note 3 discovered that you cannot remove the lock screen clock. Simply doesn't allow you the option to.
But I found a way to hide it using the "personal message" feature.
Turn personal message on in the lock screen options menu.
Simply uncheck the clock and date boxes and space across a single character (as it won't allow you to have no text but will allow you a space which is invisible anyways..) and then hit save.
So then the next time you go to wake up your phone the lock screen clock will be gone!
I really don't like the way you are literally forced to have a lock screen clock!?!?
I often change my lock screen and desktop wallpapers and don't like the screen to be cluttered with text I don't want to see..
I have only tested this method on my Galaxy Note 3 so I am unsure if this will work on other Android phones..
Also what I have found strangely enough is normally there would be a half to one second lag for the display to sleep when I lock the phone.
This lag seems to have all but gone now that I specified a personal message (even though its blank) and hid the clock & date. Bonus!!
Hope this helps. Apologies if this has been previously covered..
Have fun!

Thanks so much for this now if I can just find away for it not to show that you have a text message on the lock screen things will be great.
FIxed.
Hay guys.
Sorry for the late reply. But I found a way to remove everything on lockscreen...
Date, time and also the unlock icon and rings.
But for now to remove clock simply allow lockscreen widgets then download zooper widget and replace your stock clock widget with an blank zooper widget.
Hope i helped.

Hi all,
Is it possible to disable the pull-down notification bar on the stock lockscreen? It happens a few times, that my phone wakes up due to a sms, and then gets opened in my pocket due to the notification bar.
Thanks for your advice in advance!

Yeah, in the meanwhile I realized, that if a set a pin / pattern / whatever security, the notification bar will be disabled, though I always used my phone with only the swipe to open lockscreen. Seems I have to change now.
Other option would be widget locker, but that will just get killed at random times (even though I don't use any taskkiller).

Pretty much, I should actually take my own advise my phone occasionally ends up ringing people when I take it out lol
Is there a setting, app, or feature that will temporarily turn the screen on to show incoming notifications? My last Motorola device did this as did one of my HTC devices. My iPhone did it. I can't seem to find the settings to make my note 3 do it....
Thanks
Ok, I know it's bad karma to reply to your own post, but I think I've got the whole notifications not built in thing worked out with an app and a few settings... There still seem to be a few kinks to work out, but here's what I did in case anyone wants to replicate my "success". Note that this has a configuration tool similar to the one found on iPhone that lets you turn on/off notifications on the lock screen for each app that sends notifications.
Download and install Nils from the google play store - make sure to enable it after installing
go to settings, lockscreen and turn on multiple widgets
Set screen lock to "swipe". I didnt' test this with other lockscreens but it may work
turn off, then on your device to see the default clock lockscreen.
Press and hold the stock clock and slide down to make it bigger
Press and hold the stock clock widget on the lockscreen and drag it to the trash
Click the new "+" symbol on the lockscreen and choose the Nils widget
Play with the settings.
I tested this on a rooted cleanrom installed device and it works for messages, corporate email, and gmail. That's all I'm interested in, but this will also work on all sorts of other system messages.
I moved from iphone x recently, have few questions about notifications on 0p6t
1.Is there any way to group notification s on lockscreen as well as panel by app.
2. I have turned off ambient display and wake up phone to unlock by face id, on iphone when it is locked you get notification without showing the content, but when you look at it and unlock, the notification will expand and show the content on the lockscreen, any way to get this on 0p6t
3. When ever I try to reply from lockscreen, after it recognises my face and unlocks, it takes me to home screen and there I can reply, is there any way to reply directly from lockscreen.
Thanks.

1. Notifications are already grouped by app even on lock screen. Android starts grouping only after certain number of notifications
2. Not exactly, but Android has similar as well. You can change setting Apps & Notifications - Notifications - On the lockscreen to Hide sensitive content. Not as polished as iPhone x, but it works..
3. You can turn off Auto unlock once the screen is on setting under Settings - Security and Lock screen - Face Unlock

1.Okay
2. I have that setting but when ever it unlocks and I pull down from that notification to show content and reply...it takes me to homescreen and then shows the content. Not on ths lockscreen itself
3.I have already turned it off.
Thanks.
With the P4 I am not getting full notifications on the lock screen, just the icon that the notification is from. I guess this is because of Face unlock (can't just look at the lock screen without the phone unlocking)?
Ahhh, turning off "skip the lock screen" brings back the full notifications.

But they still disappear after a while. How do make the notifications stay permanently?

I assume it's a security setting for notifications, so whenever your phone is unlocked with the face the notifications will show the details, after some time, or after you lock your device again they will disappear.
You need to search under notification or privacy/security settings for that option to either show all notification details on lockscreen or hide sensitive data.
Please let me know if that's what you were looking for.
Also noticed that the clock on the lock screen moves up and down randomly throughout the day. Not sure how to share screenshots here tho
That's to prevent OLED burn-in...
