I am having issues with getting notifications on this phone. There is no LED noification light and I don't always hear the audible alert.
Is there a way to make the lock screen light up when a text is received? I have the stock messages and the AT&T messages installed, and neither seem to do this. It will sit there blank until I press the power button and see that something has come in.
I am using the AT&T messages for the visual voicemail, but again, open to suggestions.
Thanks.
my screen comes on when i get a text message. stock messaging app.
you can try SMS Popup and play with the settings in it to get what you want, like text message reminders and screen on/off

Mine never has, even before I installed AT&T messages.
Is there a setting that I missed?
Thanks.
Personally I'd recommend looking into Handcent. It's a much better SMS app imo and it definitely allows a screen pop to occur when the phone is asleep upon receiving a new message. A lot more customization as well.

i would prefer GO SMS PRO over handcent, but thats a personal preference.
@026TB4U, there are no settings within the stock messaging app that would enable/disable screen activation. it just works. when i get a text message and my screen is off, it comes on, shows me the slide to text, then after a few more seconds it shuts off
SMS Popup will allow you to do all kinds of things while still using the stock messaging app.
Thanks for the recommendations, I'll look into them.
What about voicemail?Do any of these handle that? How are you getting notified?
I would really like to find out why mine is not lighting up....lol

I use google voice and love it. Free visual voicemail and they even transcribe it for you. Also +1 on handcent. Been using that for a long time now and love it.
Mine wakes on a new message and gives the audible alert, if you don't have it silenced.

Ok, that's 3 people that have confirmed that my phone is not behaving correctly.
Anybody have any ideas why?
My phone wakes on incoming sms as well.

I do wish it would stay lit longer though...lol
I have been looking for an app that will remind me when I miss a call or sms. Missed Message Flasher appears to do the trick. However, I cant get it to work with SMS. I think the reason is because on our phones, the screen turns on when an new SMS arrives. Turning on the screen disables Missed Message Flasher. Has anyone got this app to work on the SGS2?
I have used noled from themarket on my captivate and sg2 and it worked very well. I a. Going to check out the message flasher now

I miss BLN from my captivate. But, its not fully functional. It works, but causes battery drain after its activated. The phone can't get into deep sleep mode again, until the alert is cleared. I hope every day I go into the dev section to see some good news about BLN.

I use Missed Message Flasher, but I disable the actual flashing of the screen and use it just to give me an audible notification of missed messages every 120 seconds. That way it doesn't mess with my screen being off or cause any unnecessary battery drain.

I cant get it to work with SMS. Can you please let me know what you do? I think because the screen turns on when an SMS comes in, Missed Message Flasher disables itself.
Do you have the box ticked in your Accessibility settings (to allow it to grab messages)?
If so then there really isn't much else to it as long as SMS is checked in the app's settings, and the phone isn't in silent mode...

I think my problem is that I dont use a lockscreen/keyguard so when the screen turns on as an SMS is received, MMF disables itself. I guess I have to re-enable my lockscreen.
Help w/ setup please
I'm just trying ' Missed Message Flasher' after flunking a couple of others, which i've uninstalled.
My problem is with 'Sound' and with GoSMS Pro, my messaging package.
I have 'accessibility' ticked, but the flash package is not activating when a new message comes in. anyone have a clue?
also, I set 'sound' to use the same sound the GoSMS package uses [which is one of the options under MMF]. But when I set that tick, and exit the pane, the "Sound" setting still shows "None". in fact, any option I pick results in the same.
is there a forum dedicated to MMF??
thanks folks

As you can see in the screenshot, my "Ringtone & Notifications" options are grayed out. It doesn't make any sound when I receive texts, and this is a problem.
Other issues: How to remove the two battery indicators in the notifications in the status bar? And what is the little leaf icon in the status bar? And the white chat bubble with the check mark? And the black first aid cross in the white arrow? Also, even though my default messaging app is Messaging, my text message notifications always send me to the AT&T messages app.
I'm thinking it's because you're in the" silent" sound profile. Try it from normal?

Nope, I'm in the "Sound" profile.
No idea then. I was going by the screenshot you posted which clearly shows you're in silent.
Also, leaf is eco mode - power saving. The black cross icon in the left facing tag is telling you that you have more notifications. If you drag down from the top of the screen, you should see all your notifications.

Does your phone make any sound at all?

You're right..the screenshot does show that. I just looked at my phone again, and the silent icon is not there. I pulled up settings, and those options are on longer grayed out. Very, very weird considering that just before taking the screenshot, I held down the power button to see the "Power off, Power off and restart, Turn on Airplane Mode, Silent, Vibrate, and Sound" menu and made sure Sound was selected.
I figured out that the leaf is Eco Mode (not active, as the phone is above 50%), but I still don't know about the first aid, checkmark chat, or double battery.
Well the 'first aid' icon isn't actually first aid. It means that more things are listed than your status bar has space for. Have you downloaded anything strange onto your phone? I've never seen the double battery before, or the checked chat bubble.

TBH, I'm so much of a tinkerer and so new to Android, that I'm sure I've installed at least five strange things. I think my best option at this point is to wait for an AOSP ROM without any of the AT&T bloat to come out, backup my apps with Titanium Backup, and flash the debloated ROM. It'll be easier for me to pick through what is installed and narrow down these issues.
It was Llama! Doh..hadn't looked at that in over a week. I guess I had set it to be silent whenever I'm at work. That explains why I'd always raise the volume only to find that it's back on silent again!
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.

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.

i am interested, ? actually purchased widget locker in the past. it just seems to unlock slower than stock lockscreen, so i stopped using it when i got my s3. what's the option?
in the mean time ill try the SMS app and report back
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
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".
So I thought I would start a thread since this seems to be the best app out there to replace our missing notifications LED. This seems to be the best solution at the moment but I'm having some issues.
1. I can't seem to get the colors to change on a per-app basis.
2. The edge lighting around the notch doesn't seem to work.
Has anyone else figured this out or have any other suggestions?
Here is a link to the app for those that haven't tried it yet.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe
In settings for the app, give it the required permissions, scroll down to the blue box that says "enable app and its color and time", select the app you want, check enable edge lighting, (I have only checked out One Color) then tap the colored box, and select the color you want, and press Choose.
Been playing with it today. Works well enough that I paid. One remaining concern, is effect on battery so we'll have to see how it behaves tomorrow.
For the ring around the camera, enable "notch support" under widget settings and make sure you have either "around all screen" or "around notch only" selected under lighting above.
To get per app notifications, use the "when a notification comes" option under how to start and it will open up a selection.
Another really cool feature is "display notification icons" that can be used together work edge lighting, or stand alone by itself to create an alternative to aod that stays on when there are notifications pending.

For "when a notification comes", no option to choose for Whatsapp or Gmail?

Try the system apps checkbox. The UI isn't the greatest and it took me a while to get mine sorted out, but seems to work really well one configured.

System apps checkbox in the AOE? Didn't see this option. If on the individual app, I've set all notifications to on
I've been playing with the notch ring only cause is what I am interested but it somehow disable Always Display and dont know how to get it back... I just want the led notch ring notifications
Is it me or does this app have an archaic setup process? It just looks so dated and hard to use.

Found that. Thank you.
Which option do you choose for the following;
*allow this app to run without restriction or
*allow the system to prevent this app from running sometimes
I am curious....it cannot be setup to work as the original led notifications, right? I mean, the light ring disappears after a few seconds...cannot be set to repeat after a certain period of time..?
Yeah, it has a reminder function. Thanks for clarifying to myself )
Curious about battery usage with this app. The features are cool but the setup is just a pain.

Hi. Great app!! However... Even tho I've ticket to show the app's icon when a notification is received... I don't. Any ideas? Cheers
I can't get this to work at all on my s10. wanted to it flash different colours (with screen off) for variety of notifications (Skype, WA, Nine (email). Messenger). None work. can't get any light to come on at all....is there something I'm missing!?
Make sure that the built in edge lighting isn't turned on.

Thanks - all good. Seemed that Nine was supported as Samsung email works fine as does Whats App. To me this is a 100% solution to the no LED light so happy days..
Yes I'm very happy with it so far. :good:
Im still tweaking with this - can't seem to figure out how to get rid of the AOD it puts on the phone. I just want the notification ring.
I cant seem to get this to work as well
