[q] sms in lock screen...bug ?

hi,
got my s4 yesterday.
just a quick question:
when i get a sms in lock screen, i click on it..a translucent white window appears below it without the message contents.
i guess the message contents should be visible in it.
please refer the image attached.

i am on stock-unrooted-untouched rom.
please help!!!!!!
thanks.

anyone??
someone??

I don't have the s4 yet, but I know on my Nexus with the jellybean update usually what happens is you click on something and that box shows up, and then if you unlock from there it will go straight to that option selected. On my Nexus though the lock slider thing is in the box.
In my pic I selected the clock, and if I unlock it will bring me to the clock options.

Just remembered that the s4 doesn't have the lock icon but you touch the screen and slide your finger or whatever. Did that work?

Not a bug. Just a 4.2.2 feature!
It is prompting you to slide your finger in that box to unlock so that it can take you to messages!

i have the exact same question and i also thought it is a bug. However some people report that they touch the message notification on the lockscreen and it takes them straight to the messages.

2 Annoying problem with my note3

Hello. I have 2 problem that really getting on my nerves! 1-when I receive a call, I can't see the calling screen. I must tap answer button from notification bar to see the call screen and be able to see, ignore or answer the call! and after that, that function bar in notification still exists! and also the phone call icon that appears when I have a call ! 2- is that when I set a pin or password lock to my phone, when I have a call, I Can't see the call screen untill I give the password to phone and then doing steps mentioned before! and I don't know what app cause this problem! or maybe this is a bug!!

no one? I forgot to tell. I have a samsung exynos note3. SM-N900

Its look like u have installed to many strange apps. Try remove the suspicious one by one. If u use specific ROM, ask at the ROM dev thread.

I can suggest to try to keep this thread up for a few days, if no one responding with the same experience then it will probably not a a kind of bug but some kind of mishandle about how u maintain ur phone.

[SOLVED] What icon is this?

Puzzled for few hours but could someone tell me what this icon is?
At first, i thought it's "speakerphone is on" (which I found here at h t t p : / / w w w . beginandroid . com/images/status23.png) but I don't use phone calls as I'm Deaf. Have restarted phone but that doesn't remove that icon.
My phone is original stock since first launch with latest software updates.
I wouldn't ask here if I knew what this icon is but after doing some google, forum search .. it comes up tons of icons but I can't find that specific icon.
See the first icon before the WIFI icon?

Hey there. I believe that Icon is 'Wifi Calling Enabled' icon. It is not the speaker ON icon mate.

A screenshot would be nice.
If you want help, but can't explain, we really wouldn't be able to help you.

Replace your phone's screen.
It is covered under warranty.

I had sent the screenshots. Also,
I have rooted my phone so it's not under warranty anymore, if the problem persists I'll untoot, lock bootloader and then go to the service center.

Yeah, if your phone is under warranty, you could easily change the display with the service center guys. It's free of cost.
