when i get a text my phones screen turns on is there a way to stop this?
No, there isn't a way to practically do that.
Although, if you cover the proximity sensor, the screen won't wake up when u get a text, but u can't cover it because then the screen will go off as soon as u make a call too and u wont be able to end calls and stuff...
I hope this gets fixed in Mango !!! As when I leave the phone charging on my desk at work people can read my text messages when they walk past if I receive an SMS.........
Temporarily cover the prox sensor? Put your phone away? I wouldn't leave my phone sitting out unattended at work.

I just checked to see if it showed the text if the password is set. It does. That probably should be an option

just keep your phone face down while charging
That would do it.

Charging @ work
If you keep a spare work charger the you can try what I do. In one of your desk drawers, or if there is enough space between the top of the drawer and the bottom of the desk, run your charger wire into the drawer and you can charge your phone in the drawer

Am i missing it or is there no option for the screen to light up when i get a new text?
Sent from my Defy with XDA App
I have not had my screen turn on with text-messages before, but there is an option to flash your LED as long as you have an unread message - would that do?
Perhaps a third-party text-messaging package can turn on the screen for you.
Thanks. No i was lookin for it to light up therefore when im sleepin n hear it go off. I can see who it is. Instead of waking up the phone. Just easier my other cell had an app for it but it wont work for the defy.

I was wondering if anyone had news on what's going on with wp7 notifications.. Getting tired of never seeing if I get a txt unless I unlock the phone etc..

Not sure what the issue you having. Is your phone not ringing or is it not showing a notification on the lock screen? It should be showing a notification on the lock screen. If not three an issue.

I think he's referring to the fact that there is no 'constant' notification, like a blackberry Notification LED ect.
So yes, its still the same. Your text will show and disappear quickly and you need to hit the power button to see your notification icons.
Is there an app that can display notifications and turn on the backlight when a SMS or Email comes in - When the phone is locked?
Every time a message comes in, I have to press the power button, put in my passcode, and go to the message just to see what it is.
It would be nice to get a Pop-up on the screen with most of the info
For previous Samsungs, there was an app called NoLED, which would light up the screen for notifications. You can see how that is developing for the Nexus.

NoLed works. I use it and light flow together. I never miss a notification now

You may want to try smspopup. It displays a popup when you receive a text message..
However, I'm not sure if it will display over the lock screen when you have a passcode enabled. However, it has a ton of options for managing the popup when locked, so you may want to check it out.

Does NoLed need root? :>
I did a little digging around and found NotifierPro to work best for me.
I got this BLN control application on my phone. It works great, but I want it to work when I get a text message too. The reason it doesn't is because when I get a text my phone wakes up. This makes the app think I physically did it myself. I tried turning off the notifications all together but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a smartwatch and my beautiful phone has also a notification LED. Considering this, I do not want to use the lock-screen notifications at all.
Therefore, I turned OFF the lock screen notifications from the "sounds and notifications" settings menu but even now, in case of a notification or event, the screen will turn ON briefly. If the phone is in my pocket during that time and I have a trusted device nearby (my smartwatch) then the phone will unlock by randomly swiping the screen with my leg (large shorts ).
For the past few days I pulled out the phone in different languages, or with the tethering hotspot active or other randomly activated settings.
So, the 1000 points question is: how the heck can I force the 10 to not turn on the screen on notifications? I have no root and I do not intend to install one (company policy). Is there any solution? Thx.
Interesting. My screen never wakes up to show me a notification, so I'm wondering if it's app specific? I know with Textra, there's a setting to wake the screen for each text message, but I have that turned off.
It's definitely an app you're using that's turning on the screen.

Thank you guys. It was indeed app specific. After you posted this I started looking in all the settings from all the apps with notifications access. The guilty one was Nils. There was a small switch to turn on the screen, indeed.
Thanks again.
