So I can't find an answer to this....
When I first got my S8+ from Verizon I was able to see a preview of text message while using the phone. Updated phone a day ago and now I can't seem to find an option to allow preview.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the tip but I meant in terms of actual preview of the text contents.
For example: When I first got my phone and my wife text me "On the way." I would get a banner on top of the screen showing a text from her with the sentence as well.
Now I get "New Message" and I have to open it to see what the message said. I have it blocked on lock screen which I have changed to show just in case that was the issue and it didn't fix it

EDIT: Saw your update.
It's in the actual Messages app prefs. Tap Notification and then turn on Preview message.

Hide Mesg Preivew
Open Mesg App click the 3 dots - settings/Notification Sound / OFF - Preview message

I used the search but could not find an answer to this question.
I went in to check out the Captivate today and messed around with it for some time, I used my phone to send it ( store demo ) a text message and when it received a message the speech to text screen would appear on the home screen ( also in notification bar at top, along with normal text message notification ) and it was simple to just X it out but I could not find a way to turn it off.
So simply put is there a way to turn this off or does this appear every time you receive a text message?

Yes you can turn off the notification by going to the Messaging app/Setting/Notification.

Cool thank you.
I am new to android and have figured out alot on my own, but still have a ton to learn.
I have been using SMS Popup since the original G1, but they said with the switch over to Hangouts on the Nexus 5, there are some bugs that they are unable to work out. Is there a different app you guys are using that's working without any issues? I just want the message to popup and the ability to quick reply to it.

This isn't *exactly* what you're looking for, but check out DynamicNotifications. It makes it so when you get an email, or text, it shows message details on your lock screen and you can swipe to unlock and it'll go straight to the message. Hopefully it'll fill in the gap, as I've replaced SMS Popup with it since my Galaxy Nexus.....
I'll think about it, but at the moment, I don't have a lock screen enabled.

I second this, pure stock android messaging, extremely customizable, has popup that can be toggled, toggle it to turn on your screen, change MMS size, app icon, has status bar "Read" "Reply" options, best sms app I could ask for on this device.
Is there any way to get text message previews to appear on the lockscreen on an Edge? This is one feature that I miss from my Galaxy Note 2.
Also what does the Edge screen text preview setting in the Notifications section of the Messaging app actually do as I have it on but can't see any difference?

It puts a preview of incoming text messages on the Edge screen.

A preview in what way? Is it the notification that briefly appears that shows the message?

It does the same thing as the status bar.
When a message comes in mines pop up in orange and then says the phone who sent it and it displays the message.
IF the message is long it will flash multiple lines then disappear.
I do wish we could change the time out time since it disappears very fast.
Wonder if anyone knows how to make the edge screen wake up when a notification or message is received?
I hear a sound but the screen doesn't wake.

That would be cool too. We need some devs to get this device or all take a crash course

There's an app in the Play Store called Screen Notifications that works. It lights the whole screen though, unless you have the Samsung flip cover, then it only lights the edge screen.
When I first started getting messages I was disappointed because these functions were missing from the pop-up notification. It basically just a short preview of the text and no way to reply or mark as read. Then I got the day 1 update and it fixed that. I love having this feature but now it is gone again! I don't think it's a setting in the messages app because it does the same thing for Line messenger too! Please help!
If you go into your settings and go to display and then to edge screen and turn off edge lighting and then it will come back.

That did it! Thanks! I kept the edge lighting on only when the phone is off now.
I am having a related issue where the options to mark as read or reply are available on some messages and not others? Any idea why?
Can someone walk me through this? Totally new to Pixel phones. Been using LG for the last 10 years.
I have Nova Launcher installed and it seems to be working properly with no issues.
I'm getting written notifications on my lock screen whenever a YouTube channel I'm subscribed to posts a new video. I don't want that. (This is happening on most of my apps)
In the past with the LG, i'd just get a tiny colored bubble with a number on the app's icon on my home screen. That's what I'm trying to accomplish with the P7P. Is there a way to get the phone to do this?

Just long press on the notification and toggle off notifications.

Thank you!
I've tried that on the lock screen, and it takes me to a page asking me if I want to unsubscribe from notifications from that YouTube channel. Is this correct? I do still want to get a bubble on the app's icon on my home screen letting me know I have unseen content.

Hmm, I don't think so. Have you tried it once you've unlocked the lock screen? Please see screenshot.
Didn't make a difference.
If "notifications “ are turned off, will I still get the little dot on the app icon?
Ok, I may have an idea.
In the notifications settings area....
Pic below, set hide silent notifications from the lock screen. Then long press the notification in the status bar and set them to silent.
They will still show in your status bar and app icon.
Downside to my plan is if you have, for example, text messages set to silent they will no longer show on lock screen if you want that.

Yes, at the bottom of the list of notications, there is an option to have the dot separately.
