text widget? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

My friend at work has the note II on at&t. When he gets a text a little widget or notification pops up on his lock screen. A pretty cool little feature, but I cant get it to work on my phone. Did verizon disable this feature? Thanks

you need to find out which application he is using to handle his text messages......there are several. I believe handcent SMS allows for a pop up message for text messages.

Are you referring to the notification bubbles on the lockscreen with the number of missed called/texts, etc? If so, I have a fix.

There's handsent, chompsms and even SMS Popup that does that.

If you want the bubbles on the lockscreen, delete /system/csc/customer.xml

what else is changed in deleting this? Or what does deleting this do? I open it up and see stuff to do with mms and bookmarks.

Thanks for the trick!

This worked, I now have the bubbles. The problem is evertime I receive a new notification I get a pop up over the lockscreen saying "swipe over the icon to view the missed event". I have to press ok each time to make it go away.
Anyone else seeing this and how can I make it stop nagging me
Thanks

You need to be root. I did it with super manager ( its free) but you can try root explorer. Dont forget to change the permission from r/o ( read only) to r/w ( read and write).

I don't suppose anyone just renamed that file instead of deleting it. I wish I would have because the information popup that tells you how to use rhe popup is very annoying. I don't see a way to reverse this. Any ideas?

No direct call button?

OK my droidx there was a phone icon in the recent call log and I believe the address book that I could tap to call the person. With the gs3 I have to open up the contact first and then hit the call button. Anyway to make it call directly from the contact list?

swiping to the right on the contact will call , to the left will open messaging.
I'm pretty sure this is on by default... if not you will have to enable it.
Oh fantastic that works great. Is there a post with other such tricks?

It pauses for about 1-2 seconds which is a little annoying - seems slow, but it's definitely better than clicking everywhere!

No haven't figured that it either lol talking about if you get a text it comes up with a circle that has an envelope and 1 or how every many texts you missed and you swipe it to open that message.

The notification bubbles are in fact gone with this release of Jelly Bean. But if you're rooted, there's a simple way to get them back:
Using a file explorer such as Root Explorer. Navigate to the system folder, enter the CSC folder, and change the name of the customer.xml file. I normally just add a .bak to the end of it, so customer.xml.bak. Reboot the phone and you're good to go!

The only thing I can think is that you're not using the stock launcher, or the stock messaging app. These notifications bubbles won't work with something like Handcent or GO SMS, or GO Locker.

Using the stock SMS app but I am running Nova Launcher but not the Nova locker. Funny though..I ran Nova Launcher on my S3 and still got the bubble notifications on the lock screen.
I looked through the customer.xml file and didn't notice anything that would allow or prevent that notification. Do you know what section/setting in the xml pertains to that option?

I couldn't tell you. I just know that this is a trick that I picked up while using my S3. Renaming or deleting the file entirely fixes the notification bubbles.

entirely? i have tried this and it does restore them but also adds a really annoying tutorial thing about swiping to go to messages, it doesn't have a Don't Show Again option it just says OK, and it keeps coming back.
if you know a way around this that would be great.
i am using es file explorer to rename the file (only tried customer.xml.bak)

Screen Wakes for Texts

Anyway to make my phone not wake up when I receive a text? I can't find it in the settings or anything. Im also on Jelly Beans.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
this was the same way on the s3, as well as the note, not sure about other samsung devices. but the answer is no. they made it like an iphone, it will wake up no matter what unless you custom rom it with CM or something pure google like.
Ah, really? Well that sucks lol. Oh well, it's not a guge deal or anything.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
There has to be a setting somewhere in the code that wakes the screen up for these texts. Has to be. It doesn't just do it because it does it.
Someone will find it, and make it bend to their will. Just give it time.

I decompiled it earlier to look at.
There is no bools.xml so its going to be in a method.
I'll know more once I locate it.
The method that ive been using is this:
Disable sms notification on the native app
Install sms popup
Uncheck the popup when recieved option on sms popup
Configure the rest of the settings
(500ms for light, 5000ms for off time)
???
Profit.

The solution I found that worked for me was to disable all the notifications in the stock messaging app and have light flow control the sound and led notification. I've had light flow on my other Samsung phones and it's proved to be a great investment. Now whenever I get a text i get my sound and my led lights up red and stays on. much better on battery.

A big reason I want it to not pop up, cause I feel that's why my light flow isn't working cause I have it set so screen on makes the notification go away. I don't always want to have to open the app, but want the light gone.

I too use this method of preventing screen flash on text. A little bit of screen time adds up when you are trying to milk your battery for all its got. Not much a huge deal on this phone though

New version of Gmail

The newest version of Gmail is supposed to have the ability to delete and archive an email right from the notification (on jelly bean). I updated and don't see this ability. I don't see how this is an option. Has anyone else experienced this? What's the deal?
Thanks

This is really bothering me. Don't know what is going on.
It only works if you receive one email at a time from my experience. For example if you have it on auto sync an a new email is received. It won't work if you manually sync and 10 emails pop up. Again this is what I'm experiencing.

Try doing a reverse 'pinch-to-zoom' on a message in your notification tray. It should zoom out and give you the options to archive or reply.
I see the "Archive" and "Reply" options, but where's "Delete"?
Just select the messages you want to delete and the option will show up in icon bar

From the Gmail app, go to Settings>General Settings>Swiping Conversation List>Always Delete and I think the option in your notifications will allow you to delete.
