My phone won't show mr a preview of the text messages I receive or tell me who is texting me. I've tried resetting default settings and restarted my phone. I don't want to have to factory reset it just because I can't see who is texting me unless I go into the message application.

Welcome to the forums!

Are you using the stock Messaging app? If so, when you're in the app, but not viewing a conversation, press the Menu button -> Settings -> scroll down and check the 'Notifications' box.

Same thing happened to me when I just reformatted my Note 2. This is how I fixed it.

1) Open up your "Messaging" App. Make sure it's open on a page that shows all your messages, not a single person's page.
2) Hit your Menu Button and go to "Settings" (Note this is different than your regular settings app)
3) Scroll down to your "Notification Settings" and make sure to check "Preview Message"

Voila.
