Texts showing up on lock screen, but not lighting up/vibrating

A lot of people have said this is a hardware type issue, but it happened with my old iPhone 4 and I just got a new iPhone 5C today and it still does it. My settings for messages in the notification center has alerts as the alert style, badge app icon is on, alert sound is vibrate only, show in notification center is on, and show on lock screen is on. In sounds settings, vibrate on ring is on, vibrate on silent is on, text tone is vibrate only (with alert tone set as none). My phone also won't vibrate when someone calls, even though its set to do that. It'll ring if its not on silent, though. It's annoying because I'm not looking at my phone 24/7 and I miss calls frequently since nothing notifies me. Getting a new phone won't solve anything, so what can I do to fix this?

did it ever work. My phone is doing the same thing and i have a iPhone 5. what should i do?

Setting to show text (sms) notification on lock screen but not message content

Just about every phone I have will give a notification of a new text while locked. I know the iphone goes one step further shows a preview and who it's from.
For privacy reasons (work and personal) I might not want people to see who is texting me or what it says. I would like a simple message saying "2 new messages", or "1 missed call" on the lock screen, so I do not have to unlock it every time to check.
How do I do this?

Settings > Notifications.
Select Messages.
Set it to Banners or None.
Show preview Off.
Badge App icon On. (This is the little red number on the icon showing how many new messages you have).

A way to have notifications appear on lock screen but not activate the screen each time I receive one?

Using an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 I like how I can have my notifications appear on my lock screen (usually for a new email) but dislike how every time I receive a notification, my iPhone screen lights up with the notification. Is there a way to continue receiving notifications on my lock screen but not have the screen illuminate every time I receive one? It's a constant distraction when I am at work, and I like to keep my phone turned face-up on my desk in case I get a call.

No

Lock Screen notification center - I want messages to show in the N/C but not on the actual lock screen itself. Any way to do this?

In ios7, is there any way to have incoming text messages show up in the notification center on the lock screen but not pop up on the actual lock screen itself? I cant get this combination to work and it seems like it shoud. The text notificaitons do not show at all on the L/S notification center unless I choose the allow on lock screen option. But this not only puts it in the L/S notification center but also adds it to the lock screen itself. I dont want it to do both.

Your email accounts will not actually be reset. The only things that will get reset if you hit reset settings will be your homescreen and lockscreen (your pictures will still be on your phone they just default back to the initial ones), the size of your text, the sounds you use for text messages and ringtones (any of the ones that you have specifically customized for certain contacts will not be reset it's only the ones that you use for yourself) and a couple other minor things. None of the apps that you have to set up personall as in facebook or twitter will reset. I really recommend do this, nothing major will get reset on the phone it's just some minor settings. Just make sure to hit 'Reset All Settings' and NOT 'Reset All Content And Settings'.
I've also tried it with messages app specifically after I hit 'Reset All Settings' and it works like a charm. No messages pop up on my screen but I can access and preview in the notification center without having to unlock my phone.

Text messages won't show up in lock screen

Hey guys,
My iphone 5s sometimes won't show text messages in my lock screen, any ideas?
And I have checked all of my notifications.
Cheers

Only if Apple knows about possible software issues, they would look into those. You can report those by using this link:
Apple - iPhone - Feedback
But I did not see this issue mentioned for a longer time in these forums.
Try to set up your phone as new device and see if this helps:

How to create a text tag that shows up in a file but not on the sceen.

I need some help, I'm a newbie with enough skill to be dangerous. If someone can point me in the right direction has to how to use the F keys to apply the tagging mentioned below and the direction of how to do the tagging and make the tag invisible
in a text editor but not the text file. That would be great. If you wish to show some code examples that's OK, but if not I can stumble through and learn while doing it from your directions on how to get it done.
I will start with an example of what I'm trying to do; using the old desktop pub program Ventura. They had (what I'm calling a tag) tags in from of ASCII text in a file to tell the program what it was and what to do with it, I. E.; "Title@this
is the title text" the next line could be "Body@this is body text". When loaded the "Title@" would not be there on the screen.
I'm trying to create some text that uses a similar concept but not for formatting of text like Ventura.
I want to be able to highlight some text in an editor and then have it place some sort of tag for the highlighted text so that I could use it to do something upon that text and only that text; in concept the text "Bob Brush was a painter." I would
highlight Bob Brush and somehow assign a tag that would be "name" and then highlight "painter" and be tagged with "job".
The text file would then have something in it to distinguish "Bob Brush" and "painter" as what each is name and job. (as a note I'm not trying to make a database or form just using this simplified concept to get my idea across
because I get to wordy).
Thanks in advance BK

Hi bik,
>> how to use the F keys to apply the tagging mentioned below and the direction of how to do the tagging and make the tag invisible in a text editor but not the text file.
It is unclear to me. Like you mentioned F keys, how does it work for? And Could you show us some code with a simple sample or a capture? It could be better to help us understand more.
In addition, I found a related thread
Tag editing in a WPF TextBox. Not sure if it is useful for you. Thanks.
Have a nice day!

IOS 5 - Notification are not showing in the lock screen knowing that the option view in lock screen is active ?

Hi ,

I experience this also sometimes (whatsapp), is this a bug??
sometimes when a person writes 2-3 messages in a row (for instance) in whatsapp (im in standby mode), it sometimes only displayes ONE message in lock screen mode (though he/she wrote more than 1), and sometimes shows the right corresponding written messages!
Why is this?
its really annoyoing when you get messages in lock screen mode BUT it doesnt stay and remain so you notice it. That way you get missed messages etc and notices it first...when doing the "pull-down list".
FIX THIS

I purchased a text tone from Itunes. It shows up in my library, but not as a text tone. Is there a way for me to set it as a text tone for all texts? Or I am stuck with factory settings?

So it is conseidered a customized text tones even if it was purchased through iTunes? Confusing. Since I bought it through itunes as a text tone I assumed it would work. OOOPS
Thanks so much

Passbook not showing up in lock screen at Starbucks.

I added my Starbucks card (via the Starbucks app) into Passbook. I also added several "favorite locations" to the card. I have all necessary settings, including those in Notifications and Location Services, turned on as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5483. However, when I walked into a Starbucks in my favorite list this morning, the card failed to appear in the lock screen. I had to open the Passbook app itself in order to use it. Anything else I can do to get this working? Passbook is a very cool idea but doesn't seem to work--might as well just use the Starbucks app.
iPhone 4S running iOS6 (obviously)

I have an observation that may explain some issues, although it might not be the case for everyone. I regularly visit 2 starbucks stores daily. The first one I received a banner in the lock screen but the one on my way home I did not....well actually I saw a brief flash as I wss pulling in and then it was gone. I decided to go check the actual strabucks app for the area to add favorite stores which I am guessing how it sets up the geofence. This other store's pin was several hundred feet further west of the location so I had already passed it...or was close to the outer edge which would explain the brief flash. Just a theory but it may be some of the locations are off in the actual app. I am also going to open a new post.....I get the banner at one of the stores but when I slide to unlock it just goes to the home screen. I still have to browse for the app....isn't it supposed to launch after sliding to unlock? Thought that was the expected behavior otherwise I will just launch the starbucks app.

Is there a way to still get audible alerts of new messages without having any banners or text appear in the lock screen?

I'm trying to make sure I am doing this correctly. How do you set up alerts for both text messages and iMessages so that even when the phone is locked you will still get an audible or vibration alert as soon as the message is received? And is there a way to do this without having any text appear on the lock screen that shows who the message is from. My phone stays in locked mode most of the time but I still want to recieve alerts for new messages as soon as they arrive. I'm also concerned about privacy so I don't want any text or preview or even any information about the sender to appear on the lock screen. I just want a vibration or audible alert.

Open the Settings app > Notifications > Messages. Scroll down adn turn OFF "View In Lock Screen". You may want to consider setting Alert style to none, but this will not impact what happens when the screen is locked.

Frozen locked screen stating Not Enough Storage

Ipod touch is on a locked screen stating Not Enough Storage. It cannot be shut off and is not acknowledged when I attach to computer

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Emails on the lock screen and not receiving emails

For some reason that i set up the Ipad air to show the emails on lock screen too. but it doesn't work now. but it worked before over a month ago. now something went wrong now. I tried to restore it but still the same problem. and now i even didnt receive any incoming emails automatically now.
Did I done something wrong? I haven't change it at all since i brought the ipad. HELP!!!

If new emails aren't automatically being fetched then go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data - does that have Push set 'on', and Fetch is not set to 'Manually' ?
If it's not automatically checking for new emails then you won't get notifications on the lock screen, but also check that Mail has the correct setting for notifications : go into Settings > Notification Centre > Mail (Mail should show somewhere in the list of apps), tap on it to select it, then tap on an email account - does the account have 'alerts' selected at the top of that screen ?

When I boot up the iphone 5s after it being off it will load then as soon as it gets to the lock screen it goes to sleep right away it will show me the lock screen for a second if that

manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
The final troubleshooting step would be to restore your device:

Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition. Before restoring:
Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes.
Back up your device.
Transfer and sync content to your computer.
I hope this information helps ....
Happy Holidays!

Is there a way of just changing the text to the main menu..but not the submenus?

Is there a way of just changing the text to the main
menu..but not the submenus?
Also i have looked at in the browser and when i glide over
the menu catergories or click on them they dont show the
submenu...what can i do to solve this?

Does the example described at
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/menu_bar/index.html
work for you?
What are you doing that's different from the example?
When you say you just want to change the text of the main
menu without changing the submenus, do you mean you want to do so
dynamically, at some later stage after the page has loaded?
If so, you could try retrieving the main menu elements you
want to update from the DOM and updating them from your script's
event handler for whatever event it is that you want to update them
in response to. This presumes the widget will detect this and
update appropriately, which I can't say for sure since I haven't
actually tried it.
Hope that helps!
Rob
