I saw there was a mod for the regular S4 that would allow you to disable the screen from waking when you receive a text, but is there anyway you can do this for the Active? I even tried that mod for the regular S4 and it didnt seem to work for the Active.
I mean, if AT&T insists on not letting the bootloader be unlocked, the least they could do was offer a feature that allows you to disable your screen from waking up when a text is received.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have this problem with my S4 Active, and I had it with my Note 2, but I have never managed to find out why. The S4 is on the official ROM, only rooted, while the Note 2 had different ROMs: When I'm using the phone for surfing, or whatever, so the display is on, I don't get the incoming call screen where I can slide to answer or reject a call. I have to turn off the phone with the power button and wait for 3-4 seconds, and then the display will come on and show me the call screen. I have tried changing dialers, between original and a couple of different third party dialers, but it doesn't change anything. Has anybody else seen this, and do you know the reason or the cure?
Turned out to be Gesture Control, in all probability.
So I have active display on and no other options checked to keep my screen on for any reason yet whenever I receive a notification (only while on charge does this occur) my lock screen shows up instead of active display and it doesn't shut itself off. This doesn't seem like that big of an issue until I wake up and my phone is 125°F. Any remedies for this?

Sounds like maybe you should consider a factory reset, and if that doesn't fix the issue, a full SBF back to stock.
I cannot think of any setting that would cause this, unless you want to provide more details on what if any modifications you have made. Let us know what you do/decide...
Is it possible you have "Stay awake while charging" enabled in Developer settings?
I'm on 4.4.2 rooted with jcases pie exploit only thing I have done is gravity box. I double checked to make sure and I didn't have the screen always on activated.

First off I want to point out that this bug seems to be related only to T-Mobile S6's. I haven't seen this behavior on any other S6 other than multiple T-Mobile S6's.
So I have my lock screen set to lock automatically within 2 minutes, and to not lock instantly with the power key, with fingerprint security. Normally, within those two minutes, on any other S6 if you receive a text, the phone will turn on and give you a new message notification on a lock screen set to "swipe" to unlock; no fingerprint needed.
However, on the T-Mobile S6, if you receive a text within that 2 minute window, the phone will unlock itself to whatever screen you had locked it on. The phone will completely bypass the lock screen from standby, and display a new message notification on whatever screen it was last on. This is incredibly frustrating as sometimes I respond to a text, put my phone in my pocket and sometimes ignore new messages. And if those messages get to me within 2 minutes, I often end up pocket dialing them if I chose to ignore my phone. While I know that seems like an odd and specific scenario, its pretty common for me at work, and is the reason why every other Samsung S6 defaults to a "swipe" type lock screen to prevent that from happening.
I work a a major electronics department store, in the mobile department. Although we do not offer T-Mobile phones, I personally have a T-Mobile S6. I have never seen an AT&T or VZW S6 do this.
Any other T-Mobile S6 users noticed this?
I know this might be a stupid question ?. But every time I receive a message or notification my Note 8 would make a sound but my screen stays Black. So I can't see what the notification is unless I unlock my phone. What am I doing wrong? Sorry for this stupid question
Following as I have the same question... (fairly new to Android)
The screen does not turn on for notifications. What you do have is the "Edge Lighting" option. Is that what you are refering to? Is it turned on? It only works for some apps also.
Just installed Glimpse Notifications to handle this, seems to work as required.
Hey guys,
Just got my phone in the mail today. One thing I have noticed is that notifications don't wake the screen up at all, no matter the app. I can't seem to find a way to turn it on either. I've used the app Glimpse Notifications on my G6 but it was a bit buggy and drained the battery.
I don't use the AOD because I'm not a fan, but does anyone know a way to ensure notifications wake the screen?
As far as I know without AOD on the only notification you'll receive is the LED indicator at the top of the screen. The screen won't light up when something new comes in.
Also, does anyone else notice that you can't double tap notifications to unlock the phone? You have to tap then swipe - can this be changed? It's super annoying.

Android Oreo introduced new Notification Channels. From Settings -> Notifications, you can specify the priority for each app. Anything below URGENT will not wake the screen when it comes in.
I spoke to samsung support, even if urgent - only native apps will wake up the screen, Like Samsung SMS.
Gmail or Whatsapp will not or any other app you install, only the once that came with the samsung rom installed
I use the app Glimpse Notification. It works very well.

The last 4 years Samsung has stop the faction to wake screen on with notifications...Instead you have AOD to notify you....
So the only solution is to use 3rd party app like ''Glimpse notifications'' that Works excellent with all samsung devices with no battery drain....
this is ridiculous.
I'm on 8.1 oreo latest build for unlocked Note9.
I turn off AOD, I have all apps notifications set to urgent.
Edge lighting works great with the screen on. With the screen off it's worthless. Nothing works with edge lighting and the screen off. And AOD off except the alarm app.
If its sms wake you want there are 3rd party sms apps that will wake the phone. but agree there should be a way. not even sure rooting the phone would do it.
