Hello XDA,
I'm fairly new so please excuse me if this has already been addressed or answered. I've searched but haven't found an answer so if there's a post on this, please reply with a link and I'll do the rest.
Okay, when I get a text message, the message alert goes off. But say I'm not with my phone, or in a loud environment, is there a way to get the phone to vibrate and play the alert when I get an sms? Also, is there a way to get the phone to periodically alert me when there is an unread text ? My last phone (GSM HTC Hero) had an LED that would flash. But this phone, the Samsung Vibrant, doesn't have an LED, and apparently no way of letting me know I missed a text message.
If not, is there an app that might provide that functionality?
Thanks in advanced for any reply.

Thank you.
This is exactly what I was looking for. If only it would occasionally vibrate, it would be perfect.
Thanks again.
Look in the Market for SMS Popup. It has a lot of notification options (custom vibrate patterns, notification icon), it can turn on the screen, and it can also remind you in time increments.
If you decide to go this route, be sure to turn off your default messaging notifications, so you dont get double.
I was wondering if there was a way to disable the screen coming on every time there is a notification for a sms. The screen does not come on with email or with mms and I was wondering if there was a way to toggle it off for sms as well.
I think it would give slightly better battery life even with the 15 second off time I have set for the screen.
Thanks.
After I gave my Desire HD to my brother for a minute, the lock screen dissapeared completely. Whenever I turn on my screen, there is no lock screen. The same goes for incoming calls, no lockscreen and no lock bar to answer the phone.
I've searched arround a little, and only found threads about turning off the lockscreen, which appearently is impossible without the use of a certain app? I'm quite sure I havn't got such an app installed and I'm quite sure that my brother didn't mess arround a lot with my phone. I just let him use the browser for a while.
What could be the problem? I'm using LauncherPro.
Hi All,
I seem to be getting notifications for new email on the lock screen only some times. Now, I've only had the SGS2 for a few days but it seems odd that I would sometimes get a square and sometimes not. Could someone please let me know whether this is normal and, if so, why I'm not getting the unread email count all the time.
TIA
BTW, I searched for notifications and lock screen but could not find an answer...
I'v got a couple of things really winding me up with my S3 I wonder if anyone has a solution.
1) The stock SMS app doesn't seem to honour the vibrate style setting I have, I set it to heartbeat but text messages still use the looong horrible vibrate.
2) Why does the damn notifications toggles scroll EVERY time i open it? I'm used to very quickly swiping this and hitting wifi or bluetooth on or off and now I miss them cause it starts sliding to show me the other buttons that I already know are there!
I'm not interested in flashing non-stock roms and I'd prefer to stick with Stock SMS so just wondered if anyone had found solutions to these yet?
