I'm on an S4 and debating on going to a Note 3. I have an issue on my S4 since the 4.3 update. Some notifications, not all, don't unlock the phone when you click on them. The primary ones that I have noticed that don't work properly are Weatherbug (both persistent and warning notifications), Facebook, Facebook Messenger, and Twitter. If you click on them and then unlock the phone, they will be up and running in the background.

It is quite annoying, especially since some notifications still work fine. Has anyone else noticed this with a Note? Thanks.

I am experiencing the same thing. Very annoying. Haven't figured out how to change it in the settings. Or if it can be changed.

If you mean ones that sit on the lockscreen like when you get a text message you have to double tap it for it to work... I know its dumb.

No, like something in the notification bar. You pull the bar down, click the notification, and nothing happens. Then you unlock the phone and your app is open in the background. It's a pain and didn't happen before the update to 4.3.
