Is it possible to see who sent you a text just by the look screen? Currently all it says is 'Message' and I psyically have to unlock the screen and go into messages to see who it was from.

I know I'm a couple months late to this conversation but my G3 does show the name of the person who texted on the lock screen. I'm not sure what I did to have that happen though. I thought it was by default the G3 does that.

I just wanted my screen to light up when I get a text & I read in another forum about an app called NILS (notifications in lock screen). Not only does it light up my phone when I get a text there's several other options, including a notification bar across the middle of the screen telling you who the message is from & a preview. I've found this to be very useful.
