i keep sending texts while phone in pocket!?!? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If my s2 is in my pocket and I receive a text the phone comes out of sleep mode and while walking about I'm sending random texts because the screen is awake! I didn't have this problem from my last s2 as the screen didn't wake until I pressed the sleep/on off button - is there a setting so the phone stays asleep until I wake it????

The screen does usually turn on when you receive a text message, it doesn't do so if you receive emails, Whatsapp messages etc.
I'm guessing you have the normal circle slide unlock enabled. Use a pattern or PIN code to unlock, that should stop it from getting unlocked by itself.

ICS Lockscreen Issues

So after this update, I keep pocket dialing, texting, opening random apps, etc. If i use a pattern, face, or pin lock I pocket dial 911 (7 times in 8 hours). If i use swipe or no lock, my phone unlocks and the screen stays on all day. Is there a good solution to this? Or a way to remove the emergency call?

LG G5 notification

When I receive text message, the phone but nothing shows up the screen.
Then when I turn the screen on, then I am able to see the message.
Is this normal or is there some setting that I screwed up with>

Check the settings in your text messaging app. Some of them give you options for what happens when you get an incoming message. Some don't give a heads up notification if the screen is off.
If you have not made any changes whatsoever and your phone is just fresh out the box I would say that that's a problem and would return the phone 4 Exchange
Do you want the screen to turn on when you get a text message? There is a setting called ambient display that will turn your screen on when you get a message. If that setting isn't activated your phone will vibrate or make your notification sound and blink the led but will not activate the screen.

to get this i think you should turn off the second screen when the phone is locked...so, you lose the second screen to get wake up screen while receiving notifications.

I tried to disabled the second screen but still i cannot see the sms on the mains screen
I'm using LED Actor to put a nice big alert sign on the lockscreen when I miss a call or message.
Very happy with its performance and tweaking options.
