hey everybody, quick question:
coming from htc sense roms I'm used to the screen lock showing missed calls and sms. so there is no need to unlock the phone to see if I missed anything.
with the froyo roms I don't have any notifications on the lock screen, so I actually have to unlock the phone each time I want to check if I missed something. is this how froyo lock screens work? or is there an easy way to have the missed calls/sms on the lock screen?
thx,
vercetti.

the notification bar still shows up on the lock screen. Just look at the little icon's to see if you missed anything.
great, thanx!

Hi fellow XDAers
I wonder if there is any app or mod that can make me choose what notifications should always show on top?
I have a weather app that shows the weather as a big notification (4x2 I believe). Problem is that whenever another notification pops up the weather notification gets pushed down and shown as a smaller version. I would like to choose the weather as prioritized so it always stays on top.
Thanks

Sv: Notification priority
I don't know of any mods or apps.
Try Xylon ROM, it has that very feature built in to it. Maybe other ROMs do as well. You can then find it under the ROM settings>> lockscreen.
*Edit *
Sorry. Misread your problem. Sorry, I don't know of any such mod or app. But it would be handy indeed.

Has anyone else noticed so basically im playing around with my phone as we speak but I have noticed that you cant really use lockscreen widgets when you have a pattern lock on the phone. I just find this weird because I am able to do this on stock 4.2. I also noticed that dashclock widget wont pick up my text messages and i cant set it as my default lockscreen widget and i also cant make the default lockscreen text notfication go away.
Guess im the only one who noticed this lol
I got dash clock set as my primary lock screen widget. It took a little fiddling.

May I ask how you did this? and also are you able to use it while having a pattern lock?
I will have to try the pattern lock. When I first got dashclock active it was on another lockscreen so I just dragged it over to the main one.
I am trying to figure out how to set the notifications to be expanded as default instead of having to swipe them down.

I see. And are you able to disable text notifictions on the lockscreen? I am thinking that text arent popping up with dashclock because there is already a separate widget on the lockscreen that is displaying it.
Does not work with pin lock or pattern lock. I suspect pattern doesn't work because it uses the pin method as a fallback. I did get it to popup an informational message one time that said something like can't edit screen in this security mode.

I haven't found a way to disable text notifications, but I did notice they pop up on a secondary lock screen and if I swipe back to the left(which is my home lock screen) dashclock is there.

Ya I noticed that also. Do text appear in the dashclock widget also ? I have that option enabled but for some reason it wont show. Still sucks that you cant have dashclock in use while having a pattern lock but oh well nothing you can do about it.
According to the developer this is an android limitation...but I did see someone mention an AOKP rom had an option to override this.

My wife had this same complaint on her Note 2. One solution that works really well is to set a pin or pattern lock, then use WidgetLocker as the lockscreen.
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!

Bump.
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?
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.

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

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.
Go Sms works great

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???
