My note 2 is rooted and running Synergy ROM. Up until yesterday the phone would wake up whenever I got an email or text message. I really liked it doing this because I sit it on my desk at work and I can see if it's important enough to respond to right away or if it can wit.
For some reason my screen wont wake up on notification anymore. Is there a setting for this? The stock ROM woke up as well. I have to admit, I was messing with the settings before it stopped doing this.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi. I've been in a dilemma all afternoon and it's been literally 8 hours that i've been looking for a solution to this but I can't find one. So i've decided to post here.
I have a Sprint TP2, on the latest EnergyROM.
Here's my problem:
Everytime I receive a text when the phone is on standby, the screen will turn on, and it will stay on for the next 1 minute. So my phone would be on and wasting battery for the next 1 minute. I'm concerned because I receive a lot of texts a day, I've overclocked my phone and it uses a lot of battery when it is on, and i barely have enough battery to get me through the day. The setting for the phone to turn off is at it's lowest (1 minute), and if i had my way, I'd like it to be set at 5 minutes because i dont like the screen to turn off while i'm doing something.
Is there a way for the screen to turn on when I receive a message, then turn back off after around 3 seconds (like the iPhone)?
or maybe a sure-fire way to keep my phone from waking up when i receive a text?
I actually searched for the setting/registry tweak that completely disables "wake up on SMS" but weirdly, it doesn't work for me and for many other people.
I've tried using the proximity-off feature, but it's not as effective as i want it to be.
If you have any suggestions for me, please let me know. Thank you!

If you like the iPhone look, then you could use a lockscreen to get the results you're looking for. S2U2 is a lockscreen resembling the iPhone one. It also has tons of features to play with including one to set the screen timeout in seconds. I used to have it set to 10 seconds, but you could do three if you wish.
S2U2 did the trick! thanks!
Keep screen off after receiving text
Finally found a thread that is similar to what I'm looking for. I have a Sprint HTC Touch Pro2 CDMA with Energy Rom installed and I wanted to know if there was any way to keep the screen from turning on when I receive a text.
I would still like it to turn on when I receive a call, just not a text because when I receive a text, I normally let it sit in my pocket for a while before I respond (I do a lot of driving)... which means that right now, it is just sitting in my pocket with the monitor on, wasting battery life.
I've tried everything from going through the general settings to Total Commander. Have not figured it out yet and would GREATLY appreciate it if anyone could help me out with this.
Thanks in advance!

I wasn't able to get the screen not to turn on at all. Just download S2U2. The screen will turn on when you get a text, but depending on your setting, it will turn off after a few seconds when youre on the lockscreen. S2U2 works wonderfully. Try it.
Screen off help
Check out this THREAD for a possible fix. It works for me!
Yeah, I tried S2U2... was just hoping there would be a way to completely disable the screen from turning on at all when receiving a text.
Thanks for the help!
I can't be the first one to need this but I can't seem to find it...
You know how the screen remains locked when you get an SMS (at least on my model of rhodium)? I want that to happen to all notifications. And if possible, to calls too.
It is so annoying when one of those happens and the screen remains unlocked, having my phone in my bag or whatever and things start to get "clicked", notifications get dismissed and so on. It happened a lot to me that I got some notification and by the time I got the phone out, it was dismissed and I was navigating the menus. Once I managed to call someone too.
Anyway, suggestions/pointers appreciated. Thanks.
Use Android, problem solved .
Honestly tho, I never figured out how to fix this in WinMo either. Drove me batty.

My solution was to install and use s2u2. It has a setting that will keep the screen off if the proximity sensor is blocked. It will lock for all notifications and it will lock in call as well.
thanks
Took me some time until I got the configurations working to my liking but it finally does what I wanted and a bit more. Will need to see how the battery is affected but only time will tell.
Thanks again.
I've done a search for this problem, but haven't found a solution to this yet.
I'm running the stock rom w/root. It didn't do this when I first got it, but it's doing it more and more as time goes by. It's starting to drive me nuts, especially at night since my phone is my alarm as well. Doesn't seem to matter if the phone is charging or not.
The screen will flicker on and off a few times in a row, then stay dark for awhile then resume the on/off behavior out of nowhere. I'm not receiving texts or emails when this happens.
I have checked my account syncs, and nothing is set to automatic. Never had this behavior on my SGII LTE running ICS.

Your title made me chuckle.
I did experience some random screen wake ups while on stock that sort of just resolved themselves. Try rebooting, and then try to uninstall any new apps you've installed to see if one is causing this.

Thanks for the suggestion. Rebooting was obvious as I've done that many times. I did go through a bunch of apps and removed them, then reinstalled one by one. So far the problem has gone away, I've yet to identify which app might have caused it though.
Hello!
I am a new user of Captivate Glide.
Just rooted after I got the phone. I'm having an issue with alarms not vibrating when set to vibrate only.
I don't want to wake up to a tune or something. Just want it to vibrate. Since I flashed rooted rom directly after recieving my phone
I don't know if this is a general issue or if something went wrong with flashing.
Anyone elsehaving this issue? The alarm goes on and all, just not vibrating...?
No problems with vibration during notifications though.
Hmm....It seems to work now!!!??? Go figure...
Hello
My wife has the Note 2. Completely stock, I accepted the 4.3 OTA and let it update her phone. She just showed me a strange screen flicker after hanging up a phone call. It doesn't do it every time but when it happens, only a reboot will fix it.
The notification bar works still but the TW app drawer button nor the home screen respond to touches.
Has anyone experienced something like this?
Any thoughts or ideas would be helpful. Thank you
