When I get a text message it says new message on the lockscreen but doesn't show the actual contents of the message or the sender - is there a way to change this?

Not with the stock lockscreen i don't think. You could try a replacement lockscreen like SlideLock or a notification supplement like AcDisplay. I'm a big fan of AcDisplay.

Strange that they would show a widget notification saying "New Message" but not allow you to show the message content... weird.. thanks, will try out AcDisplay
It may look at little different, as I'm using a N3, but I'd say you have something similar in the stock message app settings.
Go to the stock message app, and hit the menu button, tap settings. Under settings go to the "More" tab and enable preview message:

Don't thank me, I'm useless
Found it hidden under notifications. Also, you can have messages pop up on screen work a quick reply. Very cool.

Hi Guys
Im looking for an app or a way to display the latest incoming SMS over my lock screen without unlocking it? I have GOSms which is great and is set up perfectly when my screen is locked. But all I want is the screen to turn on (not unlock) and display the sms for say 10 seconds (or longer) so far iv exhausted all options as most popups will displayon top but unlock the phone which is dodgy in case it goes off in my pocket and either send random texts or forget i got one.
Hope im being clear enough and yeah iv done a search

Handcent SMS. By far one of the best SMS apps out there, and free! Search the market or use this QR code:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
yeah used em before i went to gosms but its practically the same looking system so as far as i am aware it has the same unlock the screen before the pop up could be seen action...
Basically for want of a better sentence I want what the iphone has u see the message for a few seconds but need to unlock the screen before you do anything about it.
Cheers for the reply though

I'm pretty sure you can get it to work that way if you go into the notification settings, and popup settings. There are a few settings:
Screen on for popup - checked
Screen timeout - whatever timeout you want
Window mode - without quick reply
Show when locked - checked
If I understand correctly what you are asking for, this combination seems to do it for me.
cool dood will give a bash will report later !

I haven't seen this posted but if you want to change the text that displays your name's Kindle that appears in the top left of your screens here's how to do it.
Log into the Amazon website and go to Your Account in the top right. Scroll down to Digital Content and select Manage Your Kindle then click on Manage Your Devices. Now press edit and change the text to whatever you want, you can remove your name as well. Once you're done press "update" and close your browser. Now go to your Kindle and pull down the notification bar to access your quick controls and press Sync, the text in the top left will be changed.

Good stuff! I wondered how to do this..worked for me! Thanks!
Just did this per your instructions (and did a re-register, which did keep the installed apps in place). Thank you!!
For the last part (the deregister), you don't have to deregister. You can always jusy hit the sync button in the mini settings menu that comes down from the notification bar.

Is there any way of turning it off completely? I don't want a crappy looking banner.

Look for 'Preview Message' under the Notification Settings in the Messaging Settings menu.

No, that just allows it to display the first few words of the message if it's enabled. Even with that disabled the big banner still appears on the lockscreen stating I've got a new message. I want to stop it appearing at all.

Once in the Message app: SETTINGS -> Notification settings -> Notifications (uncheck)
This is just a guess though... I haven't received a text message yet to verify, haha. But it's worth a shot.
That'll stop you getting ANY notification at all though, no message tone, no unread count, etc. I still want that to work, I just want to stop it coming up on the lockscreen too!
This screenshot shows what I'm wanting to disable. I just want to stop this ugly banner appearing in place of my regular widget on the lockscreen when I get a text.

Hi guys!
I'm probably not the first one who thought about that, but I cannot find much about it here on xda and I'm curious why it hasn't already be done:
Wouldn't it be possible for devs to include an option to swipe notifications left to mark as read and right to delete (with an "undo" option popping up) in a similar way to the Gmail app? I don't know if this would work system-wide (say, for third-party apps like Whatsapp), but it should at least be possible for SMS and maybe the pre-installed exchange email app.
I think an option like this right inside the notification slide would come very handy for generic SMS no one ever reads like for example provider messages and the like.
What do you think?

Although that would be useful, I don't think the swipe gesture returns any value to the application. Swipe just gets rid of the notification. The app wouldn't know if it was swiped left or right!
Besides if there are multiple notifications from same app won't all the messages get deleted then?

Hm I don't know much about developing, but if you were to mark it as read, won't the app need more permissions?
I mean in this case THE APP, say gmail, is going to your mailbox and marking the item as read and then returning that "read" value to the gmail servers, instead of your PHONE just avoiding the notification.
Then again I could be completely wrong here. I really don't know
You could also use a third party app : NotifierPro.
by desactivating the notifications from the sms app, and NP pops a banner that you can swipe left/right, to launch/read/dismiss. You can customize that.
But I guess that it would be nice too, to have it directly in the notification panel.
so today a heart beat pulse icon showed up in my notification bar and for the love of me i cant figure out where it came from. all my searching came up with heart beat apps you use while exercising but i have none on my phone. anyone know what that is? top left of the image below

It's the vibrate icon. Whatever skin or theme you are using changed it from the vibrating phone icon.

I think I found the solution for it. Go to developer option/Quick Setting Developer Tiles and there you'll see that icon along with other. Turn on the icon and it'll be in your button screen along with wifi and etc. Turn it off there. Provlem solve
