Text notification on lock screen

[specops2k3]

I used to have a S3 that when I got a text or missed call there would be a bubble ob the lock screen I could swipe to view it. On my N2 I dont see it. Did they remove it on this device or am I missing a setting?

I too am wondering this. I saw some documentation on Samsungs site that showed it on a note 2 and I was wondering how to get it to show up as well.

Same here, been wondering that since day 1. I wonder if Verizon removed it like the other features.

I found this in another forum "System Settings>Motion>Smart Alert." does this work?

I have that enabled but it doesn't show on my lock screen

On my lock screen I have 5 icons (one of them being the text message icon). From the lock screen I can swipe from that button upward, and it will open my text messages. Is that similar to what you're talking about on the SIII?

Here is what I am looking for.

I want the two icons in the middle with the info.

I never really used those notifications since I get a notification badge on the phone icon and the GoChat icon but I don't see anywhere in settings to turn the notifications in your pic on or off.

There is a feature under Motion called Quick Glance that's kinda cool. Maybe that replaced what you're looking for? I still haven't gotten the hang of what motion triggers it but it's neat and I don't remember that being on my GS3.

Instead of the circles each icon that's set on your lockscreen can be swiped away to open to their respective menus. Menu>Settings> lockscreen>lockscreen options>tap shortcuts, edit as you choose. This is better yeah?

You could swipe the Icons on the S3 too. I personally like the notifications that pop up better. I didnt care for the icons.

Verizon removed it

I want to go into the Verizon main headquarters, find the douchebag who decided to REMOVE A FEATURE and ask him why. WHY do they strip features from a phone that obviously came with them prior to carrier rape. So sick of their crap.

If they held it back so they can strategically add them in an OTA all courtesy of Verizon giving us "new" features, I will crack up.

Verizon removed this on the recent jelly bean update on the GS3 as well. Not sure if I missed that but I was reading quick.

Not sure why they removed it, guess its there way of "enhancing" the experience or that's what they are claiming to do.
