SMS on Lock screen - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok - I just feel silly asking this question but whenever I get an sms on the lockscreen I get the sender and some text of the sms (I activated "preview" in the sms app) but if I press that message all I get is an empty box. If I press on the message and pull it downwards I would expect it to expand so that I can read it all but it doesn't. What is the point of the box if you press the message?
Thanks and happy holidays!

Calling from SMS

As the title says...
I like the threading layout but I can't figure out for the life of me how to call. In a non threaded SMS I can just press the phone button while inside the msg and it would prompt to call. Now... nothing...
Anyone?
Hit the back button to go to the list of all threaded messages, highlight the set from the person you want to call, then press the Talk button & it'll open up the Phone app & input the number. It won't say their name, just the number, but it should be the right person.
I miss that function too.
NICE! thanks!

In Messages app, go to the "All messages" screen, press <-- (back arrow) button if neccessary. Press "Menu" button, tap "Settings", look for "Received notification", make sure this is checked. Below it is "Play notification sound". make sure this is unchecked.

I have the Desire HD and have the same issue. Your solution quoted above disables notification sounds for all messages, both new and delivery reports.
I came from the HTC Desire, and the functionality described in the first post is what I'm used to (i.e. Delivery Reports on, but no notifications in the status bar and no sounds. To see delivery reports, I just held on the message in question and tapped delivery report from the pop up menu)
Currently, when I send a message, I get a notification, like a new message coming in, and a message in the status bar showing me the status of the delivery. I don't want this. It is very annoying. I need Delivery reports. This is a deal breaker on the Desire HD for me and will stop using it if it's a "feature"!

Just make a recording of pure silence, then set it as a ringtone then select that as the notification sound for delivery status and presto it plays a silent ringtone for you.

[Q]JB messaging problem

So, i have following problem when receiving sms :
If i, for example, have more than 5 messages from same person (long enough so i have to scroll from first to last), when i recieve sms from that person, when i open it via notification bar, it switches to first message, so i have to scroll all the way down to last one.
Everything is stock JB...
p.s. It looks like this is only happening if i open that sms from lockscreen directly (by pulling notif bar and opening it). If i do it with unlocking screen, it switches to that (last) message...
Help

Giz: The version of Jelly Bean that we have right now is a developer preview, right?
MD: Yes, it's a developer preview so it still has a few bugs that we know about, and obviously a few that we don't know about, but when the devices actually begin shipping in a few weeks you'll see a lot of additional polish go in.

No real point in posting bugs for a preview release of software NEVER intended for the end user.

[Q] Disable auto sms on call reject

Hi! I hope this is the right place to ask. It may sound stupid but I just cannot turn off the auto sms feature on HTC Wildfire S. An automated sms is sent while the phone is in the locked state.
It shouldn't do that, but I know when I was using the WFS and I would drag the red dismiss/decline button to the lock ring I would sometimes then have to tap end call. I had voice mail turned off so maybe it was trying to send a message? It didn't seem to use minutes.
Did you know that when the phone is ringing there's a menu that is only available at that time, whether you're locked or unlocked when it rings...just tap the menu button on the bottom and you can mute the ring and let it ring through to voice mail. Curiously this is where I thought one had to go to send the SMS message, which I used to do when I was low on minutes...I set my message to say I was low and please text or email me...still after it sent the SMS I'd have to then tap on end call. Anyway, check what's in that menu, and if it still sends the SMS if you simply select decline from that menu. My other thought would be to press the power button twice to reject the call and see if it still sends the SMS. One last suggestion would be, in call settings, select to edit message before sending and when it wants to send the SMS and opens for editing, maybe cancel it, or set it to send blank if you're worried more about what you're saying than minutes?

Software Questions

Hoping people can answer as this phone comes out in the coming weeks.
I remember the M9 not having a few common Android features and am wondering if the 10 has these:
- Lockscreen: when a text message is received, are you able to swipe up on it to reply?
- When receiving a text while in an app, can you reply by swiping down? Or in an overlay (instead of having to open the app to reply)
- Does the screen turn on when receiving a notification?
Thanks

I don't allow text messages on the lockscreen, so I can't answer your first two questions. The answer to your third question is "no."
how to fix problem when swipe up notification bar??
When I pull down the notification bar it seems working properly (two-face procedure) but when I swipe up to make it disappear, it comes down again. More specifically, the first time I swipe up it goes up to the point it should be, but on the second scroll it appears again, like when I pull it down. So, I am able to see again the entire panel. To remove it I have to do the whole process very slowly and it is really annoying.
