Anyone else notice that if the messaging app is open to a conversation, and the phone goes into lockmode, or you lock it and a new message comes in, it doesn't make a peep, or flash the LED?
Am I missing a setting?
Don't think it's a setting.
I know when you have the messaging app open no notifications occur if you are in the same conversation. I think if you are in a different conversation you do get notified via task bar and vibrate/sound. I guess by design since you are there. So it seems that even with the screen off it knows where you are and won't notify.
I never noticed this since I never got a text with the app open and screen off.
Which was the exact reason I use go sms. I missed too many important texts that required immediate answers.

I was wondering if it is possible to actually show the text message and person that sent it in the lock screen. I find it annoying having to unlock the device, open messaging app, wait for app to load, select new text message to read it all.
I would much rather be able to see the entire message on the lock screen itself.
Same goes for missed calls. I would rather see the called that I missed than seeing Missed Calls: 1
Anyone have any ideas?
SMS popup. Free from the market. Download it.

using adw launcher... When I am on a call and move away from the active call screen, I can't seem tho get back to it. I can get to the dial screen, but not back to the active call screen to mute, change speaker phone etc. on the notification bar there is a glowing green tint to show a call is in progress, but I can't seem to find the right combination too get back to the active call screen.
Figure I am overlooking the obvious...

I think you can just tap the phone icon in status bar.
Right in front of my eyes.... thanks!
notifications waking up the screen are killing me.. if my phones in my pocket and the screen wakes up, then every step i take, my thigh hits the screen and keeps it awake for hours till i check the phone or it dies first..
sometimes when i get certain notifications, such as low battery, it keeps the screen on indefinitely (ironicly battery warning is a huge battery killer lol..), so does charger connected/disconnected.
anyways there's my rant, my question is,
; has anybody come across a way to stop the screen from turning on when getting a notification? it already lights up, vibrates, has a smart reminder option, and a led indicator, I'd really love to stop the screen from lighting up.
ill give 'Thanks' to anyone throwing out suggestions

are you talking about the sms app? use a custom one
SMS app is one culprit, so is email, Google talk, battery notifications, LINE messager, and a zillion other 3rd party apps.. itd be much more realistic to find a lock screen off solution, or remove the service that lets apps lightup the screen

Easy fix, get SMS popup app, go into the stock SMS app and disable notifications, now go into the SMS popup app and in notifications , click and enable notifications. Now go into additional settings and unchecked screen on for pop-up . That's it, you'll get notifications without the screen turning on.

interesting. let's wait till OP tries it
Soraxd,
What lock screen do you use?
I have a good workaround, but it involves using WidgetLocker lock screen which is hands down the most killer optioned lock screen around.
Let me know if your interested.

soraxd,
Workaround...works pretty much flawless on my S3 with ICS.
Install Widget Locker. You mentioned that it was not as fast as your stock lock screen. On my old retired HD2 and my 6 month old S3, W.L. is actually faster than stock. The key thing is that you have the settings maximized...which include disabling the stock lockscreen from withing ICS/JB settings. (I can give you more info if it runs slow for you) I just set my wife's new S3 with the same configuration and it works perfect. I can unlock and relock W.L. pretty darn quickly...no delays at all.
Then in W.L., I use a simple Iphone style unlock to slide and have that at the bottom of my W.L. screen so my thumb can easily reach. I have many widgets on the screen. (agenda/last caller/clock etc) Then I use a free app named Invisible Lock Widget. You drop this widget into W.L., and you LAYER IT OVER all other widgets except the slide to unlock. (This is one of W.L.'s coolest features)
First off, W.L. should be set for 10secs time out...so less chance of your leg re-triggering it in the first place. 2nd thing, when your leg triggers the screen because it has turned on due to a notification or what-have-you, then Invisible Lock Widget actually re-locks the screen. It's that simple. Sometimes I press the menu button to turn my screen on to look at the time, and 2secs later I click the screen and it quickly and easily turns off thanks to I.L.W. Once you get used to it, you will find it is very convenient and efficient. Like I said, it's a work around and also has other benefits.
Widget locker can be set to suppress the "power button long press menu" if it gets triggered in your pocket. It cannot suppress the "low battery" warning popups that show up above W.L. but the dev might be adding that. (I requested it) I have a Tasker workaround for that. If your running Tasker, I will share that with you. It works like a charm. With all these little workarounds, I no longer do the "Pocket Launch thing".
My apologies in advance for a vague thread title, but I wasn't sure exactly how to word what the issue I'm posting about is. And I didn't see a forum specifically for the Droid Mini, hence why I'm posting this here, nor did I find any similar threads to what I'm asking about.
So here's the issue. As the thread title states, I have a Droid Mini running stock 4.4 KitKat, no root and the bootloader's locked. I've done no modifications. I've only had the phone for about 2-3 months tops. I'm not exactly sure when it started, but here lately, I've had a couple issues, one being in any app I'm in or even if I just leave my phone unlocked at the home screen, there are frequent times when the close animation happens and the screen goes black as if you pressed the recent apps button or opened a link or notification but nothing else opens, and then snaps right back to whatever app was open or the home screen. In example, I could be typing a text message to someone, then suddenly, the close animation happens and the screen goes black, then suddenly snaps back to the text I'm sending. And I know it's nothing I'm doing, because it's happened with me simply watching a YouTube video both in browser and the YouTube app with my hands off the phone and the close and snap back happened, which gets very annoying because it pauses the video I'm watching or messes up my typing in a text.
If I could get a video demonstration of it to help make my point, I would, but it just happens randomly for a split second.
The second issue is, there are times when I get a notification in the notification bar but when I swipe it down and press the notification, the notification bar goes away but whatever app the notification is from doesn't open (i.e. I receive a text and it notifies me in the notification bar, so I swipe the notification bar down and press the notification, but the notification bar goes away and the text doesn't open).
I really don't feel like doing a factory reset so any help would be much appreciated.

Try clearing the cache of the app(s) or clear data. Note: clearing data will rest all settings to default and saved data in that app. Hopefully this helps! A simple reboot makes all the difference as well!
