Sprint GS4 here. Why doesn't the screen light up when a text is recieved and what is the benefit of having a sms pop up that you can't access from the lock screen?

Agreed. 2 things you may want to look into if you haven't:
1. Install SMS Pop (this is what I have done). It allows for the popup as well as quick reply and other settings as well.
2. Install a different Messaging app (Handcent, GoSMS, Chomp) that includes the above and more.
Android stock messaging apps on all devices are lacking so it's good that we can install some add on or other apps with more functionality. Personally, I'd like the stock app to be better but it is what it is.
I was thinking about SMS Pop. Wouldn't I have 2 pop ups then?
The stock pop up works and you can open text app from pop up. All you do is touch the pop up, then it brings up a square down below it, where u swipe inside that square and it will unlock it and bring up the text app. Thanks to clintw22
That's good to know. I wish it had quick reply in the pop up then I'd be good to go.
