[Q] Locked screen and Text Messages... - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Is the screen supposed to turn on when I receive a text message and the screen is locked? I only get the sound and the light notification. But when I receive a call it turns on like it should...is this normal?

Yes, it's normal. There are some third party apps that allow the screen to turn on when a text comes in.

Thanks God. I thought I got a dud of a phone...

the screen only turns on with incoming calls. all other notifications don't.

If you do want it to turn on, you could use GoSMS, there is also an option to tur that off using that app

Getting screen notification when the screen is locked

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.

Screen doesn't turn on with receive SMS

I'm on 4.04 currently, 100% untouched. I always thought when you received a sms that the screen would turn on for a few seconds but I'm noticing this is not happening. Is this normal or have I got a problem??
Cheers

this is normal, if you want to control your notification led use this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...g.android.lightflowlite&feature=search_result
but if you want your display to turn on use this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.led.notify&feature=search_result
"Sms pop up" on the market will suit your needs.
good day.
You need a different SMS app to enable this. Handcent, chomp SMS, etc. Those will do what you're asking.
There is a reason we have a notification light...tbe sccreen turning on all the time consumes battery

lock screen & text msgs.

Please tell me if this is a "built-in" feature of the stock SGSIII, or ICS. When the lock screen is off, a text msg. activates it, but not an email. I'd like to keep the lock screen off for texts, so that i can see the LED flash. Thanks for any help.
TouchWiz feature. The screen will turn off after a few seconds and then the LED will flash.

Screen doesn't turn on for me when I get texts using stock messaging app. It's been that way out of the box, I never had to disable anything.
What model you have?
Sent from my LG G3 using Tapatalk
Yes, it's an annoying feature but unfortunately cannot be turned off if you use the stock messaging app. One option is to use 3rd party messaging like go message
I have just tested. Seems that hangouts doesn't turn on the screen

I have the D851 US T-Mobile variant. I use the stock SMS app and my screen does not turn on when I get a text or MMS. It was that way out of the box, I'm not using Hangouts, so I don't know how that works there.
I think I might have found the issue in message settings.

yes you have to uncheck notifications - display message notifications if you don't want the screen to turn when you receive an sms BUT you won't be notified with a message tone but only through the LED (color green).
new message pop-up - little popup box upper left corner on homescreen. only shows from whom and not some of the message if preview is unchecked.
preview - shows a preview of message.
if you only disable any of these two but still checked notifications, screen will still light up and you still get to hear message tone but no popup window on upper left of homescreen.
LG should fix these as some people still want the option hear the message tone when a text arrives but don't want the screen to turn on and also retain the option to turning the screen on for those who want it this way. not like this one wherein the only option you have if you want screen off when receiving message is the message tone is also disabled.
for now, tweaks from mods like tweaksbox perhaps will do.
confirmed tweak new message screen off from g3 tweaksbox works the way it should for those who want screen off when receiving new message but still want the message tone. just remember to restart phone when setting this option.

Well like the post above me said, root and use tweaks app
I have a tmobile lg g3 and would like the screen to wake or popup when i receive new sms. I am not talking about pop up on the top left corner when the screen is on. I am talking about sms popup when the screen is off. Please let me know to to fix this. I would really appreciate it.

Keep screen OFF when receiving notifications

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.
