Note 8 only shows latest text message on lockscreen (HELP plz) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How can I see more than the latest message from someone on the lockscreen?? For example:
Message 1: hi
Message 2: how are you
Lockscreen: only shows 'how are you' and even if I pull down on the notification, it won't show 'hi'.
When I get one message, it's perfect. It shows the sender and a preview of the content, but if I get any more messages from the same sender, it switches to '2 new messages'. It's annoying because I have to unlock my phone anytime I get more than one message to see the content. I wish it would show the preview content of each message and if there were many messages then i could scroll through them on the lock screen as it works on basically any other phone.
Some suggested I pull down the notification which expands it but that only happens if two separate people have texted me then it shows a preview of only the latest message from each person..
I was surprised by how few threads there were about this issue. This is a basic feature which Samsung should implement. I understand some people don't want an excessive amount of notifications on their lock screen so only the latest one is shown but it is highly inconvenient for those of us that do. At least have a way to toggle this feature on/off.
Is anyone else having the same issue? Is there a fix for this? I have posted to XDA about this before but no replies.. thanks in advance.

[Q] New Message (Unread) Notifier?

I have seen this issue on other phone forums via search, but I seem to be the only one with this happening on a Vibrant. Every time I get message the yellow icon comes up on the notification bar but then the old school white message icon comes up too and the drop down just says I have unread messages.
I tried turning off the notifications in the messaging options but that removes both the yellow envelope icon (I want that) but not the unread messages (white postcard). Even after "read" the messages it stays there until I hit clear notifications then pops back up when I get a new reply.
Anybody have any ideas on how I can fix this? I am rooted running the stock ROM with the recent OTA update.
I also checked the SIM for any stored or saved messages and at one point deleted every text I had.
It sound slike you have another msging app installed - like HandCent or something.

[Q] Message Content in notification bar

Before any one chews my head off, I have searched the site and Google and a can’t find an answer
I am trying to see if there is way to stop my IM messages (Whatsapp,skype, google talk) from displaying the message content in the notification bar.
When I receive sensitive information I don’t want any part of the message to be displayed in the notification bar. I only want to notified that I have a new message
I have tried turning off the notifications on the notification bar but then I never know when I have a new message.
Handcent does this brilliantly with text message but I can’t seem to find a way to turn it off for Instant messages
Can anyone help?
Guess there isn't an app for everything
If there isn't a setting in the individual app then I am not sure its possible...at least in a simple way.
Contact the app developers.....for SMS I know handcent has the option to turn off the text in the notification bar.
Yes, there aren't any settings in the individual apps. Damn, So no solution then
anyway, thanks for taking the time to reply.

[APP] Glance

I saw this app drop on the Market tonight. Basically, it will start up your phone's screen if when you receive a notification. Thought some others might enjoy it.

Doesn't TouchWiz SMS do that already?
Handcent permits this functionality, with or without a pop-up that displays the message and a reply box.
I think this is also meant for notifications that aren't text messages...

Problem with lockscreen notifications

This problem only began happening yesterday but i do not recall downloading anything new or changing settings. I will attach a screenshot (with sensitive info blanked) which shows what is happening. I use cloudmagic for email and textra for texts. It has always just shown the messages from each simply with the person its from and the body of the text below. However now i am seeing duplicated of both texts messages and emails (not whatsapp duplicated though) . One is the normal textra/cloudmagic notification but the other is the more blank looking one of each, with the grey icon - See screenshot. Any help would be greatly appreciated on how to get the second almost blank (except for sender) notification turned off for both texts and emails. Thanks
You are also getting notifications from the stock apps. Simple. Go in and shut them off

I have set the 'email' app to show no notification from this app in - sound and notificiation area and also in the app area listed unticked show notifications. Same for default messaging. Is there anywhere else this needs to be done?

No telling as I am sure we have different devices and different setups. Could be something got corrupted. Try making sure that all things are marked as read and then clear the cache in the apps and reboot.

It seems that your third party apps are conflicting with system apps thats why you receive duplicated notifications, however you can go to application manager in Settings and set default apps of your choice, hope this may solve your problem
Thanks so much for both of your replies, still no luck yet!
Long press the notification and then hit the info button that will tell you what app it is and allow you to disable the notification.
Ok that was helpful and its make me discover the weirdest thing, both notifications are from the app i want to use. So for emails its cloudmagic and it sends me the usual cloudmagic notification - with the sender and body and also sends me the second grey empty notification. Whats wierder still its the same for texts, double notification, one the normal textra notification, the other greyed out and also from textra. So none of the stocks apps are sending the dual notifications
Actually just noticed it only happens ont he lock screen, not int he pull down notification area. I am using smart launcher

Notifications

Hi folks,
I am posting this in the Android Apps and Games thread, so hopefully that's okay.
I know there are many videos and threads online regarding notifications but I haven't found a solution for my query.
I want the option to stop the Facebook banner chat head but keep a status bar icon, so that I can see I've a message. Because if I turn off the pop up banner, I also lose the status bar icon.
Secondly, if that cannot be done could I block the name appearing? Right now I have the message blocked, but their name appears still.
