I have a question regarding the stock lockscreen (i.e. the default touchwiz lockscreen):
When I receive an email I see no notification on the lockscreen but when I receive a sms message I see a notification on the lockscreen. Can anyone tell my how I can enable it so I can see a email notification on the lockscreen area? And I am not talking about a notification in the notification on the top, which I get. I am using the Samsung email client (i.e the default one).
Thanks
I'm searching for this as well. I didn't even know that new sms notifications would show up on the lock screen until this morning.
It's a really nice built in feature. If it would show emails and missed calls too I wouldn't need an app which would be preferred.
I haven't seen anywhere to edit anything other than the wallpaper of the lockscreen although the manual makes it sound like you can simply long press to edit.
Is this hidden in Samsung Apps or somewhere we wouldn't think to look?
Testing:
Missed calls show too. I guess just Emails don't which is a little odd.
Only missed calls and text messages show on the lock-screen, the only customization allowed on stock lock-screen is clock position and of course the lock-screen wallpaper.
Music widget will also show on lock screen if your using the Samsung music player
Thanks, I didn't know about the music player showing.
Emails would be really nice. A quick link to the camera would be the only other thing.
Good enough for me to not use an app (widgetlocker) though.

ive looked around a lot but havent found an answer yet, but sorry if it is a repost
anyways, i have been using handcent and i love it. but i was wondering if there was a way to also show the text message preview on the lock screen like the default messaging app does without turning on the default messaging's notifications.
or maybe there is something that allows handcent to have the pop up show ontop of the lock screen?
thanks
As far as i know handcent can't be used on the lockscreen. But handcent will cause a wake lock that bypasses the lockscreen if you answer the text quickly. Handcent is great. Its what i use.

what do you mean by wake lock?
currently what i did was enable the messaging app notifications to have it show on the lock screen but it still shows the icon in the notification bar. and if i turn off the handcent notifications, i cant get the popop.
the only nice thing is that you can use the messaging app notification and have it open in handcent, but i still want the popup after lock and during use.

The popup is the "lock screen" notification. Normally programs are not allowed to unlock the phone. They do it this way so that the first thing you see is the popup.
At least this is my understanding of it. To allow the text actually on the lockscreen would require lockscreen modification i believe.

I'm looking for a widget that shows either recent missed calls or unread text messages (or both) for use on Widgetlocker. I already tried MissedIt!, SMS Unread Count, Last Call Widget, and ADW Notifier, but they don't provide the functionality I am looking for.
I can't post pictures yet, so I'll try to describe the widget I am looking at. It's either 4x1 or 3x1, and on the left 2 columns it shows the name of the person who called and their phone number. Between the second and third column is a straight vertical line/divider, like one of these... | ... and on the right side of the divider is a green phone icon. I like that it shows the name/number of the missed call - not just the number of missed calls - and appears to have a button for returning the call from the widget.
What would be even better is widget just like MissedIt!, but with small phone, SMS, and email icons to the left of the numbers of missed items, and more details like name of missed caller, preview of SMS, etc.
Anyone have any idea what widget this is, or know of a widget with similar features? A widget that also counts and previews recent SMS would be even better.
Thanks
Try to look at those

I'm wondering if there is any notification widget that I can use with widget locker that displays a little icon and the count of missed notifications and auto hides when there isn't any.
I know that missed it! Can display how many missed notifications and it auto hides. But no icons
I know adwnotifier and SMS unread count have icons and missed notifications. But I'm not sure if either auto hide when notifications are 0
Sort of like this;

But if I had 0 rss feeds the icon wouldn't even show up.
I've looked around a lot, and I can find anything perfect for what I want .
Thanks in advanced
Hello,
I just recently got the GS3(not rooted, stock everything) and was wondering if the apps located on the bottom taskbar and also the apps shortcuts located on the lock screen can be replaced with a widget? The reason I ask is because of the stock messaging app. The one good feature about this app is that on the lock screen it'll let you know how many unread messages you have by showing a number on the icon for the app. However, I'm not a fan of the app itself(regarding how it interprets picture messages) therefore I've installed GO SMS which was my messaging app from my old Incredible. Unfortunately if you replace the stock messaging app with the GO SMS app on the bottom taskbar and lock screen it will not show how many missed messages you have on the GO SMS icon. However, if you just place the GO SMS widget on any screen the widget will show how many missed messages you have. I've tried all options I can think of but when you drag a widget down to the taskbar it won't go in like the app would nor do I have the option of putting a widget on the lock screen(settings/lock screen/lock screen options/shortcuts). Any suggestions or would this require a root?
Thanks
not in the stock launcher or lockscreen.
you can use Nova and widget locker
Just got the VZW GS4. Hate the widget on the lockscreen that comes up when you get a new message. I've tried everything I can find/think of to remove it, but no dice.
I'm talking about the widget that pops up and says "Messaging. 1 new message". It is only present when you have new messages, and it will come up regardless of what or how many widgets I have on my lockscreen.
I know you can get it to show message previews, but I dislike that even less. I just want the widget gone altogether - It's enough that I have notifications in the NOTIFICATION BAR. I don't need some gaudy, clumsy duplication because Samsung arbitrarily decided I have to have it.
Short of downloading and installing a 3rd party lockscreen (I don't want to do that), is there any way to disable the widget?
