lockscreen messages - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys ,and a Happy New Year.I have a small "issue" since the 4.3 update I like how messages appears on the lock screen but when I tap on it a blank box appears below. I took a screenshot but can’t add it here. Is the message supposed to open up there or is it just highlighted to swipe to unlock it ?

[Q] No SMS preview on lock screen secured with PIN

I have chosen to use the PIN method to secure my S3, but now I don't get a preview of any SMS messages I receive.
Is there a way to enable this?
Thanks.

check the "swipe with lock" option. :thumbup:
edit: opps sorry my bad. only the swipe to unlock only you can see the message preview. pattern,pin,etc you can't see the message preview

Oh well, bit irritating tbh, but if it's designed like that then so be it.

text widget?

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?

These options are grouped into one, so if you see any of these icons, long press them and you should be able to select the HW to text feature.

Open up a Note template (not Memo as others have said) and long press on this box (there may be another picture in that button but long press the button in that location). This should open up a menu andyou choose the icon that with the letter T in the left bottom corner of a box.

Official LG Hidden Options

Hi Guys, i am starting this thread to share some of the Official LG hidden options which have been overshadowed by a race of themes, patches, custom roms, etc to make your device better. I've found these hidden options after fiddling around with my device for hours and I was surprised to know it was there the whole time and I was unaware about it. I know many of us will be surprised but would also like to:good: Invite people to share if they know they have found a secret inside their device.
Changing Homescreen Icons:
This is the pictures of my Homescreen before the change:
Steps-1
Press & hold icon for 2 secs & then release. as you release you'll see a small paint brush picture on the top of the icon. When you see that quickly tap the Icon again.
Step 2:
Now you can choose icons from the presets or use our own picture from the phone by clicking on CREATE PHOTO ICON.
Step 3:
Now select the icon picture from your gallery and done! :laugh: :good:
Wow!
OMG! I Surprised. But i don't think that its HIDDEN.
But Nice.
Ya may be not for you but i thought sharing would be nice.
woooow. that's a secret!

Good job.. There is another secret, use pattern lockscreen on jelly bean. Enter the pattern and stop at the last dot and keep on holsing for 3 seconds. You will get shortcuts like slide.

I was browsing the s3 mini forums and they have a port of s-view(the thing that changes your screen when you have a flip cover
So I was thinking, we can have right??
Yup it's working on s advance also..
I'll add it to my thread later..

It works perfectly..
After downloading
Go to customise view
Click on one of the element and with the help of arrow keys move them up appropriate position now click OK and hit the back button and click on start service..
Now whenever you hover your hand over the front cam or the proximity sensor near it.. The phone will launch s view..
Hope that was useful..
If it still doesn't work then download it again from play.
* you have to manually start the service after every reboot..
