Using LauncherPro, if I turn notifications for text in the messaging app off, and just get notifications on launcher pro, I dont get any sounds that I have texts ...any reason or am I missing something..
Because you turned notifications off. Derp.
I guess what I mean is can I have launcher pro notifications and yet still get sound without having them pop up on the task bar? Or notification bar

Ok I just looked, so If I turn off received notifications in task bar, it also turns off messages sounds or grays them out so you can't change...that sucks, I should have an option for both

Hi all,
A recent trouble on my phone ...
When I receive a notification (for ex, sms), I see my notification on status bar. When I clic on It, I can see my notification. But it still stay on the notification. If a Want to remove it, I had to swipe the notification to remove it.
I want my notification to leave when I select it on notification bar.
I use LightFlow. But it's the same when I remove Light Flow...
Any Idea ?
This is when new sms arrive: swipe on edge then swipe on lock screen then swipe on notification bar and you can still see the badge on sms app. Go to sms app then badge disappears. Well done Samsung- it is very nice done let say 'UI is polished'. One notification 20 clicks to get rid of it. And you asking why apple selling more phones. Can you imagine professional person with 100+ emails every day? Instead of 100 clicks every day he got fuc.... lost after 2 hours of clicking.
I used to be able to see who SMS Texts were actually from on the lock screen with my S6. Now that I have the S8, it only shows that I have an SMS message and it won't show me who it's from unless I actually go into the Messages App? How do I make the sender visible on the lock screen?

Go to settings -> Lock screen and security -> Notifications -> make sure it's on , then go into that menu and make sure you do not have Hide content or notification icons only turned on - also make sure the toggle for all apps is turned on too
Also you have to be using the crappy stock Samsung Messages app, otherwise you won't get that little bubble notification or the edge screen light up. Was very annoyed to see both of those things disabled from working if you use Android Messages or any other app.

I went to Settings > Lock screen and security > Notifications (which is turned on) and then into that menu. In that menu I have the "Hide Content" toggle turned off - the "Notification icons only - Hide notification details and show only the icon" toggle turned off. The toggle for "All Apps" is On. But when I get a SMS message, it only shows "Messages" on the lock screen... not who it's actually from like it used to do with my Galaxy S6. What am I doing wrong?

Now try, notifications, scroll to messages, go in to that app and see show content is ticked.

Not anymore - Textra jsut updated last night and it has the option for Android heads up notification (ie Edge lighting) so you can choose which style.
Jsut tested and it works perfectly

Ever figure this out? I can't. I have done all of the above and gone into the message app and allowed for content to be displayed and gone into the always on display and allowed for content to be displayed. I am using the native message app. I still just get a message icon on my lock screen. No content. Super frustrating!
Reset all setting

I has the same issue. I had googled a million times. Finally had a bright idea.... Go to setting > about phone > down at the bottom should say reset > reset all settings.
This doesn't erase your phone, only sets it back to default stiff like background, notifications, ringtones etc. BUT it finally shows the messages!
Any other suggestions on this? I've tried everything in this thread, including resetting my settings to default. Driving me nuts. After being on the pixel for the past 7 months until now, I've gotten very used to being able to see previews on the lock screen and replying from the lock screen too. I have all the appropriate settings checked that should be allowing me to see previews, but it doesn't. All I want is for the screen to briefly wake up when a text comes through, and to be able to preview it. Is this supposed to be possible on the S8?

SAME ISSUES HERE -- samsung s8/t-mobile
it seems as though the "show content" option for notifications has disappeared on the Samsung S8... I've tried everything i can think of and searched several boards and come up unsuccessful... the only options for notifications on a lock screen (at least for me - Samsung S8 on t-mobile) are: :hide content" or "do not show notifications".. both of which are not helpful when attempting to view the sender's name while hiding their actual text... HELP!
It works on textra under settings then customise notifications then at the bottom u will see privacy settings in there u can have it to show contact but hide message. Hope that's what you wanted. Cheers.

The only way I found to get to the lock screen and view/reply to text message is to double tap the home button first.
It's anoying additional step, but I'm trying to get used to it.

I am not sure if you have found a fix for this or not but.... Last week I accidentally factory reset my phone and lost everything. I still had my old phone and was able to transfer all that was there back over, but my screen stopped lighting up with new notifications. After spending the last hour trying to fix it I was successful!
Settings > Apps> Messages > gear icon above Force Stop > About Messages > update
I really hope this helps others.
Having this issue from the day i bought the OnePlus 5. its not an isue, its just annoying some times. whenever i get an SMS i get like a carrier notification in black blackground on the bottom center of my screen. i also get the notification in the status bar. i dont want the carrier toast msg. any way to turn this off? this ONLY happens when i get an SMS and does not happen for other apps like Whatsapp.
I have the S8 Plus and just upgraded to Oreo yesterday. I use the Messages app (white text bubble icon with blue background). I notice that the notification badge (the orange counter) no longer shows up on my shortcut when I have a new message. Also, the preview of the text message that used to appear at the top of my screen no longer works. Is there a setting I need to adjust, or is this just my new reality with Oreo?
Thank for any help!!
Hi
Go into settings and search for "app icon badges" this should help
Trev
I'm also having the problem of no badges showing up on any of my apps since the oreo update. All the notifications are set up to show badges, yet still nothing. I'm still also not getting edge lighting notifications when the screen is turned off.
Have you checked under Settings->apps the notificationsettings of the apps you want to notify?
App badge icon
Same issue here. I have made sure the app badge is turned on in notifications, it still doesn't work.
