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!

Tasker can do it.

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.
Is there a way to have the screen turn on when I get a notification? More specifically an email. I did notice in the Roms section there are tweaks to have SMS screen on.
There are apps in the play store that will allow this but they all require the accessibility settings to be turned on which affects how the lock screen works so looking for a way to do this without using an app.
Thanks

You'll either need a different rom or an app, it might be added by an HTC update at some point but I haven't read anything about it. I think HTC thought the notification light was good enough...
I use sms popup for texts. There is an app called notify me in the play store, that if you purchase the pro version you can set up different apps to have the screen turn on. The free version only allows sms.

Thanks, Ive tried that one but as I mentioned earlier it has to be enabled in Accessibility Settings which makes the locksceen not work correctly.

Hopefully it has been noticed by HTC and it will get updated. The light whilst good is sometimes hard to see.

Trickdroid is pretty sweet and stable plus they have wake on sms and you'll get the update that hasn't come to a lot of stateside folks yet. That was a weird feature not to get though, I came from IOS and thought all phones integrated it these days

Yes I've put Trickdroid on it and allows a lot of customization which is great. I too came from iOS as that was just getting a bit dull and samey!! However I do miss how good it was at the notifications...
I do like this HTC One phone though...:good:
M.
Other notification works but the stock text message does not. I've reset uninstalled And reinstalled and still nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm wondering if the problem is caused by the phone turning on when i get a message?
Had the same issue. Exchanged gear watch and still resulted the same. Exchanged phone and problem dissappear.

It definitely is a wake lock issue. Go to settings> lockscreen> lock automatically and select "immediately" mine was set to "5 seconds" once I changed this I can read my text messages now.

Where do you see "lock automatically"? I don't see this under Lock Screen options.
It's definitely the lock screen causing this. If (like me) you turned off the lock screen completely, the sms notifications failed to show on the watch.

It is indeed. This is really annoying. I don't like to use a lockscreen, but I want texts to relay to the watch. What's the root cause? Is the lockscreen widget actually relaying the messages? Is it a bug? Would really like a fix that doesn't require me to lock the screen.

I'm not using a lock screen (haven't used one since the old windows phone pocket dialing days) and my notifications work just fine.

That's unusual. Do you have the latest version of Gear Manager? I think one of the updates killed it for me, because I used to get SMS notifications to the Gear fine. I can reproduce it now by switching to no lock screen and back. I'm running 1.4.102802.

I'm not sure, how do you tell what version it is ??
I know I'm not updating ANYTHING on the Note 3 or the watch as everything is working perfectly and I want to keep it that way........

The Samsung App store page for Gear Manager will tell you. I recommend you don't update, because you'll most likely lose SMS notifications to the 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.
Did anyone else notice the Samsung messages widget is missing from Galaxy Note 9? I use the built in messages app (not google's messages app, samsungs), and I used to have the widget on my home screen on my Note 8 that showed the messages window. Now I don't see a widget for it?
I don't have the phone with me so I can't check right now. I did notice you can't change the text background anymore and that kind of pisses me off. I don't like goSMS or Textra. I don't want a 3rd party app. It sucks they stick you with no options to change background or chat bubble colors.
Its just not there. They also removed a feature I used quite often on my S8: Bixby dictation by pressing and holding button while keyboard is open. It was super convenient.
I noticed it too... If you find anything, please let me know! I'll do the same!

It is unfortunate, I guess it may be time to switch over to Googles "messages" app instead now because it does have the widget!

I think that is still there somewhere. When I was setting up Bixby I turned it off. It asked if I wanted to allow it to control the keyboard or something in Messages.
Yep no messages backgrounds.

Go to Textra. It's better than either of the ones mentioned.
Edit: Actually, I'm not sure if Textra has a widget (I don't use widgets for texting). It's just an amazing texting app.

It don't matter that much I use WhatsApp or telegram primarily. Looks like an indicator that perhaps Samsung is winding down it's messaging division?

Oooo... That is nice. Might need to try that, haha.
Dictation is there. In the upper left of the keyboard there's a revolving menu button. Has a smiling face on it. It should be there. If it is not there press the triangle on right side and move it.
As for the messages widget missing. Looks like Samaung removed it.
