The notification noise (for texts, and I don't know if it's for anything else) just runs forever and ever until I actually open handcent or the stock messaging app. I've looked through settings and don't see anything that clearly says it'll turn that off. How do you do that?
All my notifications only ring once. Is it handcent? Are you on a certain rom?

it only happens to texts. it happened before and after I installed handcent. it's annoying and weird
In your text app Go to Settings> Message Alert Repetition where you can adjust how often it will notify you.
Something Experimental...

I already turned off notifications in the stock texting app so it was like I don't have it installed without actually uninstalling it. I'll see if it's one of those things that magically goes away on its own after a while.
Did you try looking at the settings in Handscent for the same type of setting?
Something Experimental...
Yeah :/
Yep, your not alone. I have the same issue when using GoSMSPro. As best as I can tell this is an issue when you use a Third Party SMS app. FYI: I am on a custom ROM and have the issue. If I uninstall Go SMSPro the issue disappears.

I'm having a notification issue I was wondering if anyone else might have experience with. I use handcent, and I'm getting double notifications for some reason. I've used it for a long time and know how to turn off the factory settings, and they are! I just don't understand why the damn white envelopes keep coming in and two different tones when the notification us clearly turned off.???

Are you positive that the receive box for the default MMS app is unchecked? Double check, also try clearing defaults. This is all I can think of as of the moment

EVERYTHING is unchecked, I'll try clearing defaults though.
I even thought about just removing the stock messaging app, but I read some where that will cause problems.
Ok so I use handcent and today out of nowhere I started getting two notifications and one says new message(s) and it won't go away unless I clear notifications I have the stock notifications disabled and this is extremely annoying any ideas?

I had the same issues with Handcent when I first got my Inc, and couldn't figure out why, and never did. I switched to chompSMS, and haven't had an issue since. I would love to know why it did that as well...
I have handcent frozen using titanium and still get the second notification... I only don't get it if I freeze the messages app but then I lose mms

I really like Hancent but this notification thing is killing it for me...
Default Messaging app has notifications, auto retreive disabled
Restarted
Wipped phone
I don't get 2 messages, just hear the ring tone two times.
If I disable notifications I only hear one, but then it still vibrates for 3 seconds and I have disabled all vibration.
No other notification vibrates. I swear some of these settings are in here as a tease.
I really love hancent but this may push me to an new app... I can't have this phone vibrating across the table during my meetings.
If you think you can help you can respond here or message me on aim...
Aim name is "Drachnem"
as the title states, I would like to know if there is away that I am not seeing to disable the screen illuminating when I receive a notification (sms, email.. etc)
I don't like this feature, the phone already tells me via audio notification that I have received a message and I think it is a battery drainer (not matter how minuscule) I'd like to have some control over this...
With my screen off, it lights up when I receive a message and I would like to disable this function. I already have LED notification turned off...
I hope I was able to communicate my desire
Thanks in advance for your help

Oops, you got a free thanks. The way I dealt with it was to install Handcent and then disable the stock messaging application. But I'm on US Cellular and I'm not sure how much different our phones are. Handcent has MANY more features than the stock application as a perk also.

That is an alternative yes. I would like to keep the stock app though because it's been my experience to have lots of problems with third party messaging apps. For example, I am unable to use MightText while using some third party apps. Sometimes the apps update and have FC closes afterwards.
If you didn't mean to give me a thanks, can't you take it back... I mean if you really wanted too, don't get me wrong, I'll take all the thanks I can get!
I'd also be interested in this..I find it super anoying.
Edit: Gave in and installed Go SMS with a GSIII theme.
here's a solution if anyone is still looking for one

When I receive a SMS, the phone wakes up.
Having a hard time finding the setting to turn it off...any insight?
bump for this - I don't see why the screen needs to come on every time a sms message comes in. I haven't seen this happen with email(exchange), gmail, GTalk, etc... so annoying to waste battery for no reason with the LED indicator enabled.
I've looked and looked and don't really see anyone complaining about this, which I find really strange.

bump - seriously no one cares about this wasting battery for no reason?
No one has found an answer? Just got the AT&T version and I do about 20,000 texts a month, so this is very annoying and wastes battery, ESPECIALLY since it has a notification LED.
I got so tired of it, that I just switched over to handcent.

Just called Samsung and he searched and put me on hold for a while and came back saying there is no way to change this. He recommended downloading a 3rd party texting app or seeing if there is an app that will do this :/
here is a fix from the Sprint GS3

Just tried to flash, didn't see any changes in the Messages settings. Not the screen toggle or mms server issue

It was annoying me as well, the only fix I found without switching to another app is to go to Settings in the messaging app and make sure everything is unchecked under Notifications. If you do this, you will no longer see new text messages in the notification bar, but if you want you can use Nova launcher premium that has an add on called Tesla unread plug in (it adds a number to a messaging shortcut when new sms arrives).
Hope this helps.
I just noticed this recently, whenever I receive a text, the screen wakes from it. Does anyone know of a way to disable this? I looked all over, can't find a setting for this.
Stock, unrooted (not rooted).
edit: would like to avoid using apps (i.e. go sms, handaccent)

I believe it's built into the framework of the rom. You could try using a third party or android stock sms app and deleting the samsung one, but you'd have to be rooted, and it may cause issues. I use google voice for my texts so I dont have any screen wakes for texts.

thanks for the reply, but i would like to avoid using a msging app, if at all possible.
i dont' know what you mean, my screen doesn't wake when i get a text or email?
Really? Does anyone else have this problem or know what I am talking about?
Are you using the stock messaging app? Are you running stock, unrooted? These are my circumstances, if it makes a difference.

Thanks, will have to live with it until I decide to root and flash a rom.
Or you can use things like gosms from the app store.

Root the phone and install the stock android sms app from galaxy nexus. Fix a few annoying problems: screen wake and vibration during call. :good:

Yea I have the same issue (or functionality not sure which) but I know if you root there are mods/roms to turn that off. I have not tried any though. Good luck and I would be interested in your resolution.
I'm stock and not rooted and my screen only comes on when I receive a text. Not on email.
Thank goodness I don't mind my screen turning on for text or it would annoy the crap out of me.
Actually you are correct, screen wakes only from receiving Texts, but still rather annoying nonetheless. I'm kind of getting use to it by now though.
