[Q] Screen turning on for notifications?

Hi all I was wondering if anyone has found a way or an app/tweak so that notifications don't turn the screen on on the device when receiving notifications such as text messages? I find this highly annoying coming from android devices like the Nexus One and Motorola Milestone. I have found nowhere for this option. I use Handcent as my default sms app and i have the Bell i9000 if that helps. Thanks!

Ok I downloaded tasker but looks very complex. Any idea or heads up for how I can go about the screen not turning on when handcent message comes in?

Thats weird... me its on sms and its highly annoying because I have unlock. Even with the options in Handcent to not turn on the screen it turns on. Tried the default sms app and same thing. Maybe is ADW Launcher? I'll try with the Samsung launcher to see...

ok so it does same thing with Samsung launcher as well. This is annoying! Does everyone else's screen turn on when they receive SMS? I tried noLED as well but screen turns on before it goes to the noLED screen.

Yes, but that's a good thing for me - otherwise I wouldn't know I had a notification if the phone is on my desk?

Yeah that's definitely true. I guess I will stop using the application called Unlock. This app was cool because it gets rid of the lock screen but its annoying to have your screen turn on while its in your pocket and there is no lock. I guess it's something I will have to live with.

[Q] Go SMS Pro, help please?!

Coming over from HandCent (massive battery drain), and only one complaint.
With HandCent, it would unlock my screen even though I had a pattern lock enabled. But with Go SMS Pro, it just turns on the screen and makes the unlock noise, but it does not actually unlock the screen, but rather just show the pattern lock screen.
Help please?!?!

GOSMS wont let you bypass the lockscreen if you dont wanna hear the unlocking sound go to settings/sound/scroll down and uncheck Screen lock sounds everything else can be changed in GOSMS settings like if the screen turns on when u have a meesage and all that but ive used GOSMS for about 10 months to my knowledge it doesnt have that bypass feature

I will, I will. I'm on my phone right now.
Well it did a pop-up, showed the quick text box, and if you started to type, it would let you and then lock your phone back up after.
And if you didn't want to text back, it locked back up in 10 seconds (or whatever you set it to).
You can't exit out of the quick text box without the phone locking back up... really nice actually

I havent tested that but it prob will

I use GO SMS PRO myself....I hated Handcent.....only reason I don't use the stock samsung one is because my wife has an iphone and she likes to text the smilies LOL
GO does that for me....and thats the only reason I use it
I have pop up notifications on lock screen disabled.

happy now pwnerman?

More help please.... why does it send MMS messages as links? How do I change this to the regular way?

This is prob because your using GOMMS.
#5 in the GOMMS TIPS Clearly states "To send regular MMS use the Attachments tab

I've recently switched to this app as well. must faster and lighter than handcent- but I'm having one issue.
I have it set to unlock the phone when a message comes in. If I receive a popup notification for a message and immediately take my phone out of my pocket, sometimes the screen orientation will change and this will dismiss the popup. the message disappears from my notification tray and everything. has anyone else experienced this?

Line for Gear

Has anyone been successful using this app? It is the messaging app I use the most, but in its current state it appears quite useless. It claims it can be used for making calls and sending stickers, but the only option available is to turn the alarm off and on.
If you have figured out how to get this app working, please let me know.

It used to work! I love Line and you could reply with a sticker right from the Gear. But now it doesn´t work...
Alarm off or on refers to the alerts of the Line messages, but no...doesn´t work.

Every time theres an update for GM, I dont restore data from the last GM, this has solve my problems with line. or do a fresh install of line on your gear. you can also try to have notifications on when screen is off.

Do you use Null or the stock rom?

Ok. One more question. Do you have notifications turned on in gear manager for line, or do you let the line for gear app handle them?
Thanks

I finally figured it out after reading through reviews. You have to have pop up notifications turned on in the line app on your phone for the program on the gear to work properly. You can use either the "simple" or "default" setting. This pretty much just makes me not want to use the app.

Thats what I meant when I recommended to have notifications on when the screen is off. you have to play with the notifications settings on the phone. Ive also notice that sometimes notifications dont get send out to the gear when you have a screen lock. How do you like it now? its pretty cool huh, I just wish they included more stickers for the gear

The app requiring pop up notifications was a deal breaker for me. Half the reason I wanted the watch was so I didn't have to turn my screen on as often as I do. I also don't want people just seeing random pop ups. I deleted it in favor of the regular notifications until it gets better.

For me a workaround was to make sure the app I want notifications from is running, then press the recents button and find the app on the list, then swipe the app down, it will only move a little way then spring back and also obtains a small padlock icon.
You will probably also need to go to the settings menu and find either protected apps or app settings (depends if you are using the Lollipop version or the Marshmallow beta) and enable the setting for the app which makes it stay awake when the phone sleeps.

Thanks so so much. I try this out

You have tomark the app to run in background...
this is no bug it is an energy saving feature.
the device has a stock white list of apps allowed to run in background.
but normally you re asked if an app should be able to run in background or not.
any app that is not allowed to will be closed immediately in standby

I've tried all of the above and still was missing viber notifications. Then I disabled Phone Manager and this sorted out the problem completely.

Wouldn't you need to root the phone and then use an app like TitaniamBackup to disable it?

Anyone else notice notification bugs on Oreo?

I updated to Oreo last week and i noticed when i got Spotify on and locking the screen, the play bar is black and the controls are out of place. It used to look good before the update. Same with Textra, when changing the theme colour to white, i get this weird grey dot next to the name of the sender (on the lock screen). Also notifications from Messenger on the lock screen, the profile picture is out of place. I've already used factory reset twice.

how did u update?
