Can I show sms messages on screen when it arrives?

Wonder if there are ways to show incoming sms messages right on screen when they arrive... Currently I need to hit multiple buttons before I can read the sms message. Thanks!

Steve

hi,
install this and you have option wake up device on SMS (or something like this)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749

Whenever I got an SMS it automatically displayed the contents on the screen, I don't remember where the setting was but I liked that more. There's a common tweak for wake up on SMS, just search "Raphael Tweaks" and you'll come up with it.

turn it on in the sounds and notifications settings (where you change ringtone, message tone etc).
tick 'display message on screen'

Thanks much everybody!

[Q] Text template problem

I just noticed that when I respond to text messages via Gear's text templates, my response doesn't show up on the stock Messaging app on the phone. However, the recipient does indeed receive my template response. Is anyone else having this problem?

A quick "yes" or "no" would help me understand if I need to dive into my Note 3 setup or just accept it for what it is.

[Q] Anyone having issues with Gesture Typing?

Liking the phone so far, except gesture typing with the android keyboard will not work. I have enabled this in the android keyboard settings, and even tried restarting the phone, with no success. Is this a known issue? Anyone having the same problem?

I have no issue with the app. What is you problem? Is it that when you go to type the regular keyboard is showing? If so hit the globe icon next to the space bar. That will either auto switch to Google Handwriting Input or give you a menu to with the option to choose Google Handwriting Input. If that isn't your problem then please tell us what specific issue you're having.

Sorry, I was not too specific. In the messaging app, or search widget, or any time when the android keyboard pops up, I am unable to use swipe to input text, that is, inputting a word by sliding through the letters. This is in spite of gesture typing being enabled in android keyboard settings. Settings/Language and Input/Android Keyboard/Gesture Typing
Thanks

You can have a look in Settings / Notification panel & status bar / Notification Center. Select Messaging, then you can switch on Banners. I dont think you can do this for Phone Calls though, as I dont have the Phone app in this list.

Question Messages answer input mode on Galaxy watch 4

I used to have basically four text input methods on my watch (4 icons): "Draw letters", keyboard , "voice to text" and emoji . Now it has all changed: for options I get "message" (within this message options are : emojis, gboard, (numbers), the mike icon meaning speach to text, voice message forwarding (as voice messge). Is it normal or just accidentally spoiled my settings? Thank you for answering!

Think it maybe you changed the input to Gboard from the Samsung keyboard. Try changing it back to the Samsung keyboard and see if that changes your selections back.

Thank you for your answer. Actually, I did not change the imput method: it is gboard. I've learned from the watch's online user guide that the screen I miss is called text input sreen. It has totally diappeared and I cannot bring it back. I made a factory reset and it has not resolved the issue. Aditionally, I cannot get the input by handwriting option (draw letters one by one) what I don't actually miss. It used to be available from the so called "text input screen". I send some screenshots. Thx

I am using the stock Samsung keyboard and if I want to compose a message (even though I don't because the screen is too small), I have the choice of voice, finger, emoji, text, or numbers. I do not know what Gboard supports since I do not have that loaded.

I am Hungarian and Samsung keyboard supports voice to text imput only in system langue ( no multiple language support). So I should change the OS to Hungaran what I don't want. And if I did I would have to answer English messages using Samsung keyboard. I can still use voice to text with Gboard but it got more complicated and inconvenient especially when driving.
