Notifications and Notifications

[Ofir Yagil]

Hi.
I just bought an LG G3 phone.
My previous phone was iphone 5 and i must have these features:
1. When i m using the phone and suddenly getting a new message on whatsapp, the notification says "2 new messages" if i have more than one message waiting. Why? I want to see the new message preview in this little window, I already know i have incoming messages.

2. Is there a way to show a list of the incoming messages from facebook and whatsapp in the lockscreen, just like in IOS? cause all i see now in the lock screen is : "6 new messages." Why is it so hard to give a little preview of the messages?

I would appreciate any help!
Thanks.

Welcome to Android Central! In the lockscreen, you can often expand a multiple notification by placing your finger on the notification and dragging down a short distance. You could also try NiLS Lockscreen Notifications.

The banner notification while you're using the phone is a cause of a lot of ambivalence among Android users. Many people dislike it because it's pretty big and intrusive, and can be very distracting if you're concentrating on something else at the time. I would imagine that making it big enough to preview more than one message at a time would cause these users' heads to explode in rage as well.

Hi. Thanks for your answer.
I dont want the banner to be bigger.
I just want it to show the contents of the message i just received (only the last message) instead of "3 messages in 2 conversations".
Is there a way to do it?

Btw, the two fingers thing doesnt work for me. Should it work in lg g3 with lollipop?

Btw #2, is there some costumed rom out there that can fulfill my dreams and deal with the whatsapp notifications just like it deals with the phone messages?

Thanks.

No one?

No one?

I'll try to answer this since I came from an iPhone as well.

Go to Settings - Sound - Notifications - Lock Screen - Show All Notifications (I think by default its on hide sensitive)

See if that will work.

I would have to test this out and let you know. When I currently have a new notification from someone that I already have a text waiting in there, it will say 2 messages but preview both still. It's called expanded notifications. This is with the EvolveSMS app. Also, if my screen is on and I'm doing something else, the banner notification that typically scrolls what is in the new message displays the contents of that new message, even if I have not gotten to the other unread ones in that chain.
