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?

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!

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.

I didnt like the way the emails and messages opened in the home tab, ie it goes straight to the latest message so I added the mail and messages programs from the start menu to my quick links which corrects these problems. However, there is no notifications on the quick links to notify me if I've got a message or not. Is there a way you can get notifications to come up like it does on the home tabs?

You can set notifications to show on screen messages for these events, yeah.
Go to Settings, All Settings, Sounds & Notifications, Notifications (tab) and when you go to message or new email message, you can set it to "Display message on screen".
Hope this helps

Unfortunately not because if I go into settings I don't have an option for 'All settings'. The only option I can find for notifications is under display and sounds, and I can only change the sounds and vibrate for notifications. Am I doing something wrong?

Sorry - it's the settings tab, then Menu, then All settings.
It's frustrating because All Settings is what the settings icon in the start menu used to do, and some people have modified the registry so that it's back that way (me included), so when you want someone to go to settings, you have to actually tell them to go to the settings tab, then menu, then all settings, when you just want the bloody windows settings screen!! lol

Thanks, I never even knew that all settings was even there.I'll see if that works, cheers
The notification wasn't exactly what I was after, with the fix suggested above a pop up comes up saying new sms which is not exactly what I was after. What I wanted was something like on the messages on the tabs where you get a green circle superimposed with a number of how many messages you have. Can that be done?
Ah - I see what you're saying now. Sorry, I misunderstood.
Have you looked at MaxManila at all? That does exactly what you're asking.

So I did the "upgrade" that TMO put out on their website for the HD2 and now I do not get the popup message window when a new text comes in. Before the upgrade it my phone was dormant and I had a new text message the display would come to life and a box would display at the bottom of the screen with a preview of the message (in addition to the normal audible notification). Now the display comes on and the audible notification occurs but there is not popup box anymore. Any thoughts?

Go to settings...sounds and notifications....notifications..go to text message and put a check in display message on screen
Thank you for the reply zelendel. My menus do not have that exact string. If I go to Settings I have a Sounds & Display option, which has the following options - Profiles, Volume, Ring and Notifications, Display and G-Sensor. The only place in these menus that I can alter the text message is teh sound that plays. I do not see a checkbox.

Ok sounds like those are the manila style settings. In the settings there may be a softkey marked all settings and that should take you to the WM settings. if not then disable sense and then goint settings and that should give you the WM settings as well.

Wrong "settings" area. When you're on the settings tab there, click "menu" in the bottom right, then "all settings", then "sounds and notifications" On the 2nd tab ("notifications"), pick "Message: New message" from the first drop-down, then you'll see the check box you need.
Thank you Phunk! That was what I was missing!!!

No prob...it was the same place zelendel was referring to, but HTC did nobody a favor when they created a 2nd distinct set of "settings" and kept the name the same
Yeah sorry I disabled the manila settings thing long ago and forgot about it.

I am having the same problem and just came across this post whilst Googling for help. I think my phone updated this morning and this is when the problem has started. My issue is with text messages, getting the 'Messages Contents hidden' message on the lock screen. It's really annoying me!
Hidden notifications fix
Hi to fix this issue go to Settings, Sound and Notifications and then scroll down to Notifications and where it says 'while locked' select show content and it should be all fixed for you
For me on the samsung galaxy S6 I had the same issue and had to go to settings, notifications, advanced (in the upper right of the screen), then in the dropdown box select apps with content hidden at lock screen and edit each app to show at lock screen. Hope this helps!
I've noticed when receiving multiple notifications it only displays the top two and the rest I need to unlock the phone to view.
Ideally I would like to have all notifications display on the lock screen visible like an iPhone (able to scroll and read them all) without having to unlock the screen.
Same goes for receiving more than one text message. The first one shows the text message and then after the second it shows 2 messages and I have to unlock the phone to read them.
Thanks

Under Settings > Notifications > Lock screen, do you have it set to "Show All Notifications"?
Yes I do.
Like right now,I have emails I can't view until I open the phone
It's just handy if I could view them all briefly
You can expand the notifications, like you do in the pull down notification bar.

Hey All,
I just switched over to a OnePlus6T from a S7 Edge. I am running into a small issue with my Calendar. I am not getting Calendar reminders. I have looked into it and found that I am unable to even enable the notifications, I verified the Notification for it was enabled on the drop down notification tray. But when I went the application settings and to notification I saw the message "at your request android is blocking this app's notifications from appearing on this device" In my research there should be a slider bar to enable notification with this. I have provided screenshots of what I am seeing and what I should be seeing. This is the Google Calendar app, which was working just fine and I had notifications enabled on the S7 Edge so I am not sure why this option is missing, I am hoping someone here might have an idea.
I did do a search on the error but nothing appeared to help. I have rebooted the phone and nothing has helped
What I am getting: Look at attachment Screenshot_20181223-143310
What I should see: Look at attachment inCollage_20180901_095823101

Model: 6T A6013
Android: OxygenOS 9.0.1

Hi Vichao,
I did try that and the slider doesn't appear and the message still says that "At your request, Android is blocking this app's notification from appearing on this device."
Thanks for the suggestion though. The third attachment should show the silent mode is off at this point and there is no app notification option for Calendar on the app settings itself and on the notification bar under Manage Notifications there is no option for Calendar.

Really struggling to solve the same problem.
In the app's notification settings, all I see is:
"At your request, Android is blocking this app's notifications from appearing on this device."
No toggle, no button, no checkbox. Just this one idiotically cryptic line.
I have spent several hours trying to work out where I may have made this "request" to block notifications.
The following didn't work:
- reboot
- anything in settings > apps and notifications
- anything in settings > battery
- anything in settings > display
- app notification doesn't show up in notification log widget
- disable/enable app
Config details:
OnePlus 6
Model name: ONEPLUS A6000
Android version: 9
OxygenOS version: 9.0.3
Build number: ONEPLUS A6000_22_181225
Please help folks, this is driving me insane.
Try pulling down notification shade and pressing Manage Notifications. Don't click the toggle, but click the app name to bring up more notification settings.
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that and was taken to the same screen that I get after
Settings > Apps & Notifications > Notifications > See all
Other ideas?
This is a known issue across applications... Sometimes I don't even get a call and straight goes to voicemail

Go to the actual calendar app->hamburger menu->settings->general and check if "Notify on this device" is activated. If not, activate it. I just checked my phone's calendar notification setting and the notification toggle is also missing, like on your screenshot.
