Stop screen from lighting up with every text? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

My screen lights up every time i get a text for like 5 seconds. I use 20,000 texts a month. I don't want it to do it since it wastes battery and this phone has a notification LED. Is there a setting I can turn this off? Thanks in advance!

I searched everywhere and called Samsung. There is no way to stop this. I downloaded GO SMS and it works great with that. It's stupid that Samsung wouldn't think anyone might want to change this setting and build it in without forcing you to go third party.

I'm not sure if you mean the LED Indicator(the circle light that lights up by earpiece)?
Settings - Display - LED Indicator

I have this issue as well. The screen comes on when you get a text and is very annoying

Unless they have updated recently, I don't think that GO SMS is compatible with the smart notifications and direct calling.

Try Handcent. They have a lot of notification options.

You can turn off notifications in the sms app and use sms popup from the market.

I wonder if I turn off sms notifications but leave it on in light flow if I'd still receive the led at least.

I am VERY happy to say that I am in the same boat as this person. My screen does not turn on by its self when I receive a text. It did on my Note I and it pissed me the hell off. I'm not sure why this is happening to some people and not others, but I am glad I am one of the fortunate ones. Funny, as I'm typing this, I just received another text and my notification alert came on but my screen stayed off.

Ok I got a modded SecMms.apk, I need someone to test so if you want to send me a PM and I will upload you the flashable zip to try before I realease it thanks

Is there a way to get the email list in bright colours as well? While in the car it's virtually impossible to read the list. Once I open the email it's OK.

Try a factory reset. If that doesn't fix your issue, then take it to Sprint and return it for being defective.

Not while stock, you would need to root and either flash a custom rom that has it baked in or flash the modded messaging app that's floating around the dev. Section.

You silly. No one wants their screen light to come up when you get a notification. You want the notification led to go on when getting a notification. That is what the notification led is for.
The individual wants notification without their screen light turned on.
I don't know why some applications turn on the screen light some or all the time when getting a notification. I had a few apps turn on the screen light when getting a notification. But you may want to try out "Light Flow" in the Play Store. See if that helps.

If you read my post then you would know that I knew that. I was talking to the other person.
Note - Light Flow is not compatible with Note 2 right now, because you will have to disable S Pen Air View function. Sorry, my bad. My idea was to change the application's, that is causing this issue, behavior to only use LED Notification.
This is usually cause by an app that has a background process running to be notified when you do something like send & receive and SMS, MMS, etc... This is one of many reasons why I use AutoStarts application to manage background processes. This app most likely is an app that your carrier, Sprint, added to your Samsung Galaxy Note 2. These apps like this loves to have background processes being notified when you send or receive SMS and MMS. This is most likely the app/s that caused this issue of your screen light to light up for a moment. Stopping that background process is the best solution.
My question to you is: What did you change within those files that solved this problem?
My request to you is: Write to us what you changed within each of those files, with the name of each file, to solve this problem.
I have go-pro-sms .... and it has a setting to turn off the screen coming on .. Blahhhhhhhhhh

How can I make my T-Mobile service stop sending me amber alerts?

Last night I kept receiving amber alerts at 3 am. This morning again at 8am and its really starting to piss me off. How can I opt out of receiving these alerts?

Look in the settings for messaging.
It should be under emergency messages.

Yes go onto your messaging app and press the menu button then settings scroll down to emergency alerts then uncheck amber alerts, and whatever else you don't want.. Presidential alerts cannot be unchecked tho.. Hope this helps

i hope a custom rom can rid us of his B.S.!! i registered [ Presidential alerts] as spam in the messaging app menu will it work to shut his piehole?
My best guess is that either the messaging apk from a Canadian or International ROM should work.
I can't help but wonder if this one will eventually send a (hopefully incorrect) "duck and cover" message... It wouldn't be the first time either. (Stumbled on that a few weeks ago and thought it'd be interesting in this context.)

[Q] how do you turn off music volume warning?

Hey does any of you guys know how do I turn off the warning when I turn the volume up? It's getting quite annoying.. thanks in advance.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
The volume warring is a horrible feature, I'm trying to think of why it needs to popup every time. This must have been included for liability reasons.
My problem is that my headphones don't exactly sit close to ear with my helmet on, so they're too quite. Then I can't always grab my phone and close out the warning while I'm riding.
The only solution I've found for this problem is to install a different rom, I am using ReVolt right now. You can disable the warning in the sound settings.
I also would like to know. I want to disable the toast after setting an app as default as well. It's super annoying.

I have a thread with a tutorial explaining how to decompile and remove it, however, i have yet to encounter this "warning" on my device xD

This one's done. WOrking on the toast volume thing.
If you're rooted, you can try Xposed Framework. It's the best. Not only can you remove the warning, there is so much more to customize.

I don't think that will work. T-Mobile uses a toast instead of the normal window. So im not sure if that will work. Can give it a shot. I almost have it removed though.
Here you go guys. no more toast when you turn up volume. No more window when you select a default app.

Bleh, TouchJiz is affecting the volume steps mod. Go listen to music, and start the volume at low, and slowly increment the volume up to max one step at a time. It will get louder then go back to really quite, and then get louder again

If it's the same hardware then it should work. If it doesn't work it will just not boot. To fix that just flash your ROM or restore the original framework.jar file.
