Hey guys, sorry if this has already been posted, i know double posts are silly and a waste of time, but the search function isn't working right now and my phone is driving me nuts haha
okay, i just got this captivate, i came from an HTC Desire to this phone, and when i got a message on my desire, it just made the sound and the indicator light came on. now i know the captivate doesn't have an indicator LED, but is there a way to stop this screen from turning on everytime. i use the no lock app and when it turns on in my pocket i start swyping.. hahah
oh, and this battery notifcation thing where it plays my notification sound super loud at 3 in the morning beside my head while i sleep.. can i turn that stupid option off too??
thanks in advance!
For the SMS notifications, I would try installing the app called ""SMS Pop Up".
You can control much more options for SMS notifications that way. But after you download it, make sure you disable the normal SMS notifications under:
SMS app> menu button>settings> notifacation
This is so the phone won't send you two notifications on two different apps. (The SMS Pop Up app isn't really an SMS app itself, but you get what I mean).
As for the battery notification, I would have no idea... Most of the custom roms I've tried have battery full notifications turned off as a default (cos it's pointless and stupid).
Yeah i noticed a lot of roms have it disabled, if your just rooted and dont' do roms does any one know what you do to disable it?
Is it editing a database or something?
For the battery notification, you can put your phone on silent out just turn notification volume all the way down otherwise I don't know, it isn't present in the froyo update
Your welcome
Now you say/press thanks
Teaching manners one person at a time
For SMS notifications I would use NoLED, not sms pop up. For not hearing the full battery notification I would use sound manager to turn off notification sound at the time you desire
Thanks peeps

Hi there:
Is there a way to make it so the screen turns on when I get a notification? The only thing that happens currently is a sound is played. I could have sworn when I first got it that the screen turned on as well. Any help would be great. Thanks!
I have a similar requirement and therefore would like to bring this issue up to seek for your help.
Whenever an SMS comes, there are a sound and a small icon of an envelop appearing at the top of the phone for about 1 ~ 2 seconds. If the phone is with me then I know there is an SMS. Other cases i.e. when I am outside and leave my phone in my room, I will not know that I have SMS on my phone until I open the message application (as there is no notification like missed call)!
Can anyone let me know how to set the SMS icon (the small yellow envelop) remaining on the notification bar until I open and read the SMS?
Thanks in advance.
have you tried NOLED ?
Yes, searched and installed NoLED from Market. This application is greate, it satisfies my requirements!
Many thanks to AllGamer and all xda-developers!

I was just about to ask the same question! No matter what I do, the screen turns on when I receive a text message, I don't want this to happen. I am on JM1.. Is it a bug? Do any of the later firmwares suffer from this?
I use launcher pro but its have just the standard slide to unlock lock screen.
Driving me crazy also!

It's not a bug, it's a feature
sorry butt whyyyy , whyyyy , whyyyy you think that this is a bug ???
Most other Android phones have an option to stop that happening, for instance my gf's HTC desire. Several of the SMS programs, e.g. SMS popup, handcent, and chompSMS all have options to not light up the screen when receiving a text message, and on the desire, it honours those options - on the galaxy, it doesn't.
What is the point in the screen lighting up when you receive a message? If it's in your pocket, you won't see it so its just a waste of battery.

I'm seeing as an advantage because SGS does not have notification LED. If I left it on my desk, at least the light will catch my attention, if I didn't hear the notification tone.
Hey guys, I figured it out. You must use a program called auto starts. Then completely disable all stock messaging app instances. I am currently using handcent and everything is working perfect.

I've been running Cognition 3.04 for a couple of weeks (it's my first ROM), and I'm loving it. I've run across two minor issues that I haven't been able to solve just by messing with settings myself or searching the forums:
1. Over the past couple of days, I will periodically find that my app drawer is completely empty. Anything I update from that point onward shows up in the drawer, but nothing else will until I reboot the phone.
2. I can't seem to change my SMS notification tone. I use Handcent, and despite changing the ringtone within Handcent, the stock messaging app ringtone, and the default notification ringtone under Settings->Sound->Notification ringtone, nothing seems to change what I hear when a new message arrives. The sound that plays is 'Postbox', which I don't have set as a sound anywhere that I can find.
I've tried to search for others with similar issues & couldn't find anything that helped, so hopefully I'm not repeating common questions.
Thanks for any help!
Sounds like a bad flash. Try reflashinv.

Had that happen before. re flash. I was restoring apps and system data among other things wrong. It's a process and don't worry the answers are in the forums

Cool, thanks for the feedback. Will give reflashing a shot

Besides it's a captivate. Best thing since sliced bread. Spread a little cognition on it. Sprinkle some firebird and top it with voodoo and voila!

for the SMS sound try changing the notification sound from the sms settings.
go into your text msg box then goto press the settings button then goto those settings from there at the bottom you'll see notifications.
The notifications in the actual sound settings from the drawer are for emails and such. Texts have their own "notifications" setting.

Good grief I'm an idiot. I've been changing the sent Notification sound this whole time in Handcent. My eyes just slid right to 'Notification sound' & didn't notice this was in the 'Sent message . . .' section. Well, it's just down to the app drawer now. Backing up with TiBu & charging up the battery to prepare for the reflash in a little while.
Thanks for the help!
I've just flashed Phoenix 5.2 on my phone, but for some reason if my phone is in silent mode I get absolutely no vibration when I get a SMS message. I've checked the sound settings and the settings within the messages app itself but for the life of me I can't find where to turn vibrations on! If anyone could help me, that'd be fantastic!
Thank you!

If it's on silent mode, it is set so that no vibration notifications come in. You need to put your phone in vibration mode
Is there a vibration mode at all? I'm using the silent mode that you can get to by using either:
1. Sideloader
2. Top menu
3. Lock screens
When I used to be on Cognition, the silent mode automagically put everything in vibrate mode (to my memory)... Or I must've changed a setting somewhere to make it vibrate instead of making no sound/vibrations whatsoever.
Menu>Settings>sound>vibration > ALWAYS or ONLY IN Silent or ONLY not silent
if that just isnt doin it for you try the app "SMS pop up" it will take over the notifacations at the top and you can control the vibration how you want, with reminders if you dont answer right away and pop up windows with the txt, with privacy mode if lock screen is on, custom ring tones for custom people ect...
if you use sms pop up disable the regular sms notifacation.
SMS app> menu button>settings> notifacation

Thanks for that! I've also found out what the problem was! I've had "ALWAYS" on all the time!
The silent mode in Sideloader and Top menu makes it vibrate, but the Lock Screen's "Silent Mode" makes the whole phone just go mute.
I've had the Lock Screen set to the new 'Rotary Lock' that's available in Phoenix 5.2... and it seems to be only that Lock Screen's Silent Mode that causes this problem.
Silent Mode with the normal Android Lock Screen works fine (with vibrations and etc)
It's hard to understand why there is no LED on the Nokia 8, not necessarily a color one like on my trusty Lenovo P2, even a white one would do the trick for notifications...
Anyway I don't like audio on notifications so I was hoping to have the phone vibrate but that doesn't seem possible, am I missing something ? Thanks for any help !
Just turn Notification/Phone ring Volume to 0 should be vibration only

That would also mute phone rings, which I doubt OP wants.
@webvan You can manually turn of notification sounds for each app by long-pressing an app icon and tap: App Info -> App notifications -> Messages -> Sound -> None.
Thanks, yes I'd still like the phone to ring !
Will try the app by app setting.
ok so I tried that method and you can indeed dig into the notifications and when they are set to a high or above importance you can activate "vibrate" and deactivate "sounds". Thanks !

Seems crazy that 10 years into Android development there is no option to only make your phone vibrate when a notification arrives instead of making a sound !

May I ask what apps you are trying to turn off sound notifications? For Instant Messaging apps like Viber, Signal, Telegram, etc. I can easily turn the sound notification OFF and leave the vibration option ON. Some apps don't have those options simply because they don't send and/or display notifications.
It's strange to hear you can't do that. Try exploring all the options around the Notification Settings in each app.
Oops, had edited my message in the meantime! Yes I found that the trick is to set importance of the notification to high or above to get control of the sound+vibration settings. All good now!
