I have been trying to work out how to stop my camera flash going off whenever I receive a text message, but cannot find the option.
Was crouched on a crowded commuter train the other day, when i got a message. The LED next to the camera went off a few times, and the woman stood in front of me thought i was trying to take a photo up her skirt. Was pretty frickin' embarrassing!
Anyone care to enlighten me as to where this option is?!
Go to Accessibility settings and disable this option

My alarms are already spotty at best. I've caught them going off for 1 or 2 seconds and then silencing themselves. This morning I did not hear my alarm go off at all and instead woke up to some very strange text messages I had just sent.
I left Google Voice open last night as I was texting someone and the text window was open. Instead of my alarm going off, a bunch of random garbled text started getting sent out. I don't know if it was the vibration (I never heard the vibration but I could have slept through it) causing buttons to accidentally be hit or if it was some weird redirection of alarm "go off" commands being redirected to the nearest text area.
Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? I notice similar random text messages sometimes waiting as drafts for me after backing up and restoring text messages.
That sucks! Are you running a custom ROM? if so would you by chance be using a 'Vanilla' Lock Screen?

I'm 100% stock unrooted fully updated.
wow, I have absolutely no idea! sorry! I would think it would have to be an app doing that. Can you recreate the issue? if you can, post it and I will try to do it on my phone.
Have you tried using a diffrent alarm app one from the market

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"
When I get an email, the sound I selected plays and then a voice says." you have one new email"it does it for both my email accounts. I even turned sound off for notifications and put phone on silent. The voice still plays no matter what I do. when I get a phone call, the selected ringtone will play and then "incoming call from "xxxxx" will interrupt over the ringtone. This just started a few weeks ago. I can't figure it out. I haven't changed or added anything. I also tried to clear cache, dalvik and fix permissions. Im running juggernaut 3.7 on my t989.
Are you in driving mode? Also email has it's own notification options built into the app

Edit: that fixed it. I feel stupid now. Thanks again.
Lol no problem happy to help

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 received a voicemail the other day and used the visual voicemail app to listen to and delete the message. The notification then went away on the pull down menu, however for the next 24 hours it kept the notification on the lock screen. In fact the only reason it went away was because I rebooted the phone. Also, I tried calling voicemail and it said no new messages. Anyone else have this problem?
