how can I can I make my phone to... - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hi guys how can I make my phone to turn on briefly when a text message comes in? My wife's galaxy s3 does it but my S2 just stays with its screen off. If it helps I am running the ICS sprint official update...
Thanks

Are you talking about a sleep mode?

No. I want my phone to wake up instead of going to sleep actually when I receive a text message.I was looking into sms pop-up and iPhone notifications. I just don't want to have to turn the phone on myself every time I get a text message

You would need a third party messenger app like handcent or Go SMS. I personally use handcent since my og Evo days. Pretty satisfied.

[Q]Handcent lockscreen notification?

I've been using handcent since I got my EVO at launch. But I just remembered about the message being displayed on the lockscreen with the stock messaging app, and I actually miss that now. I hate the pop up feature that handcent has, but does anyone know if its still possible to have the message on the bottom of the lockscreen? Even if there's another messaging app that has the feature. I just like having my own custom look. Is there maybe an app for it? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm not a Mik.....but my EVO is!
Well I don't know of an app that will do that. You can try Go sms, but handcent just give you that full popup, or use stock messaging, which no one wants to do that.
I am -.- lol got tired of people reading my God damn texts. Stupid pop up poop lol.

I believe handcent has an option to turn off the pop up. If it doesn't. Chompsms then.

it does have the option, and I have it off, I just kinda miss having the message show at the bottom of the lock screen like with the stock messaging app.

Keep in mind, enabling any pop up options in handcent will cause a wakelock until you acknowledge the message. If you get a text a midnight and don't read it til 7am, your phone will be wakelocked for 7 hours, resulting in battery drain.
Oh wow. That's why I deleted that piece of crap. Stock messaging app is reliable..except for the occasional 'miss-click'

[Q] Handcent - New to Samsung

Just upgraded my Evo to the Epic 4G Touch, and I'm a fan of Handcent for messaging, and prefer its notifications over the stock messaging app. On the Evo, if you disabled notifications in the stock messaging app, you just didn't get them.
On this phone, I get notifications no matter what.
Any clues?
open stock app, press menu, uncheck notifications.
im using handcent like i did on evo and get no stock notifications. i also replaced the stock app button w/ the handcent app. only problem...it doesnt have a little counter showing me how many msgs i have.

Are you saying you're getting double notifications via both stock sms and handcent event though you've disable them in the stock app or are you saying you're still getting them from handcent even though you've disable them in the stock app?
In a nutshell, you'll get them from either or both if you haven't disabled the individual notifications in each app, i.e. stock sms and/or handcent. Make sense?
I believe there is a plug in in the market for that

a plug in that works similar to the handcent widget'? of the three interchangble scrolling buttons, only apps are allowed to be used. the handcent widget works fine, its just not selectable as a button i can use on the 4button scrolling bar.
OP did you disable notifications in the STOCK app and STILL get notified?

I have no issues with the notifications, however I do have Force close issues with Handcent on my phone. Is anyone else experiencing the occasional freeze up? I usualy have to task kill it or wait till I get the force close option, but it happens pretty often.

Theres a multicolor widget on TW4 that has 3 buttons on one of the screens. They relate to Text to speach while driving, sounds like one of them is on. Hope this helps
It's the driving mode, should be the car icon. Make sure it's off.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
If you open Voice Talk, you can uncheck Driving Mode, that will turn off the voice for new notifications.
Lol this happened to me to when I first got this phone.

Even if car mode is off, and "driving mode" is still on in Voice Talk, you will still hear the Siri-esque voice. You have to disable "Driving Mode" from within "Voice Talk" to get her to shut up.
BTW, you can change what she greets you with when you say "Hi Galaxy" in the program settings. Mine says, "What the hell do you want now, John"
It's the rom that your using. The voice is Linda I think.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
That's one thing I thought it sounded like. I stripped some of the Linda sounds from my Vibrant and brought them over to my GS2. I missed them.
I can't stand that voice and all of the texts and plug in sounds. Talk about wanting attention... Lol

Gmail 'delete from curtain' broken?

It was working before the md4 update. I could delete from the pull down curtain. Now all I get is the notification without the delete /reply options. I have tried all different settings without success. I even uninstalled gmail, deleted data and cashe, reinstalled. No dice. I really liked to be able to delete without going to the app....

if there are any other notifications in the pulldown (including one's that can't be swiped away) the option doesn't show up... I stopped using ds battery saver for this reason

Hmmmm. The only other thing there is the green lookout icon. I'll try removing that and see if it changes.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
You were right!
I went to lookout settings and turned off the icon. Now all works again.... I Never would have thought it was from lookout. I even sent them an email to alert them of that. They sent a reply in 5mins. Said it shouldn't do that....
Thanks again for helping!

It's not lookout, it's gmail, if there is already any kind of notification on there it doesn't give the expanded delete reply option... :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

The lookout support guy said he has the icon and gmail works properly for him.... maybe someday there will be a solution. For now icon goes away....
I can't believe it was that simple and that I didn't think of it!

Again, it's not a lookout problem, is a gmail problem.. nothing lookout can do to fix this, it would have to be coded into the gmail app to allow it to display these options when there is other notifications
Sent from my ANTHRAX sniffing GS3
I think the gmail notification has two modes: minimized and full (with buttons).
The notification only shows the buttons when it's the "top" notification. Apps like lookout have persistent notifications, so the gmail notification is never top dog and therefore doesn't go into "full" mode.
I know in 4.2.2, the method I described allows you to expand minimized notifications. I do a medium-length press and hold, then drag the notification down to expand it. I'll try to capture a video of what I mean (never captured video on my phone before).

SMS & screen on

Can someone tell me if there is a way to stop the screen from turning on when I get an SMS as well as stopping the SMS from appearing on the lock screen? It's very annoying and I'm sure over time it cuts into battery life.
Thanks.
Msg. Setting.

Settings in message app and uncheck preview message.
Theres no way to prevent the screen from waking i dont think...custom roms only.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the replies. I'll have to wait for a ROM then.
Thanks again.
Problem is with preview unchecked you still get a box on your lock screen minus the text info. I believe it just says "message".

chomp
use chomp sms. its quite fast, more customizable than the stock messaging app and actually has an option from preventing the screen wake. i cant say for the other sms applications though, but chomp is good
I have been using Go SMS for years. I really like the customization and settings. You can turn off stock notifications and eliminate the screen wake issue.
