[Q] Text Message / Screen on - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any way to make the screen turn on for a few seconds when a text comes through? Its pretty stupid that in Stamina Mode the notification light doesn't work so you got no way of knowing if you've received a text without looking. (I know its not hard to look but least the screen should pop on when a text is received)

Well you can make it work if you checked the the messaging and phone in stamina mode and look for the settings that will enable led flashers it have to be a setting app that can be toggled in the stamina mode

Bump, anyone

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.

There is an led notifications hack that will turn our keys into notification leds

Really stupid question about SMS settings

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)

[Q] Anyone know how to disable these things..

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

screen lighting up when txt message comes through?

hello everyone,
Just got my htc one in silver, loving the phone. One thing tho.when a txt message comes through it just makes a sound and the LED notfication light shows which is fine. Iam just wondering does the the screen light up when i receive a message or does it stay black? is there anything in the options? i cant seem to find anything.
does the screen wake up when a text comes through or does the screen stay black?
Screen doesn't wake. You can use a third party app like Go SMS though if i's important.
im sure there is an option to wake the scren up
i use gosms pro though and that does it for me(just disable notifications etc)
Just confirming that there isn't an option. A third party app has to be used.

App notifications

For some reason I am not getting notifications from one app except one time last night. it's enabled within the app and when I go to settings >> app >> notifications, everything is turned on. is there another setting somewhere I'm missing?
Anyone has any idea how to solve it? tried reinstalling, deleting app cache, deleting partition cache, but nothing helped.
YouTube Vanced is doing that to me
It's frustrating and I also noticed gmail doesn't always alert me of a new e-mail when the screen is off, even now I used the phone and gmail notification doesn't show at all. what is happening with this phone? never had this problem before.
GMail has been flaky for me on some other devices before.
I wonder if it's Samsung's "put apps to sleep" feature that's causing some of this.
I noticed the same thing after switching back from energy saving mode to optimized mode.
On the energy saving mode I only reduced the CPU speed but still no notifications, so I went back to the optimized mode.
Just checked the sleeping apps and my problematic apps aren't listed there.
I'm always on "optimized" power mode since I got it, I even put them in 'apps not optimized' but it changed nothing.
it's bad enough there's no notification LED but not being alerted when there's something new is a downgrade for me.
Since its on topic, any way to stop the stock messaging app from waking the screen with its notifications?

Try going to Settings >> apps >> messages >> new messages >> click on 'lock screen' & select 'don't show notifications'. do the same with 'General notifications' and see if it works.
I've found Pie very intermittent with app notifications count badges, from S9 beta to S10 now
Its hit and and miss

I hope they fix it if it really is pie, the problem is I'm not getting ANY notifications from one specific app and I should be getting many a day.
I am having the same issue, hoping for a fix.

that stops the notifications from showing on the lock screen all together.
back on thread here - I was only receiving gmail notifications in batches and only when i'd wake the screen and unlock the phone. I turned off battery optimization and it seems to have corrected itself. Any app that you are not getting notifications for, make sure they are not being battery optimized.

Oh you mean like whatsapp messages wake up the screen, no idea how to change it to get a notification without the screen.
Yes I already tried placing these apps in the 'not optimized' list but it didn't change anything. gmail is still random & the other completely mute.

That thing to turn off battery optimization doesn't do a thing. Have never worked for any Androids I've had. It doesn't give instant notifications for apps not being optimized and the battery is not becoming any better if every damn app is being optimized either. I don't understand why the setting is there if it doesn't do a thing.
Does anyone face the issue that WhatsApp calls do not turn on the screen when screen is off? When I receive a WhatsApp call, I hear the ringtone, but the screen remains off, once I double tap to wake up the screen, I see the WhatsApp incoming call interface. Normally, incoming WhatsApp calls automatically turn on the screen and show the incoming call interface...
