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".
I love the "swipe up an icon to launch that application" feature of the lock screen on the One. But I've noticed that (seemingly randomly) it just stops working. For instance, I'll grab the chrome icon and swipe up, and the phone won't register that I've grabbed anything, and the screen just unlocks. Rather than an icon floating with my swipe gesture -- the lockscreen just fades out and then the phone displays whatever activity was open when the screen was turned off (almost like I've grabbed the lock icon, though I haven't). Has anyone else experienced this? And how can i get it to go back to the default behavior?
Did you install any kind of notifier that would display on top of the lock screen? I found out that after installing Notifierpro with accessibility services turned on it messed up the Sense lock screen.
I have posted my experience on a different thread and did not see your post. I just thought maybe you are experiencing the same problem.

Mine sorta does the same thing. Sometimes I will grab an icon (any icon for that matter) and it won register the swipe at all, It won't even bother unlocking and it wont register any swiping at all until I do one of two things
- I will have to hit the power button twice to sleep and wake the device then swipe to unlock
or
- Hit the Home or Back button then swipe to unlock
anyone experience this? hope this helps
Has anyone had any luck disabling the stock lock screen in sense 5.5? I had been using widgetlocker with the lock screen copletely disabled through settings but that option seems to be missing now. I've tried disabling the HTC lockscreen apk through the settings menu and also freezing it through titanium, both methods did nothing to remove it. I know it's nit picking but I don't like how the lock screen will appear briefly sometimes before widgetlocker overrides it. More annoyingly my alarms can't be turned off from and oddly when they go off widgetlocker doesn't allow me to unlock. This happens with calls from time to time as well. Any help would be appreciated.

I had the same issue. Use this app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock&hl=en
Finally gets rid of the annoying lockscreen.
Hi guys,
Not sure if this is another common bug, but it is getting a bit frustrating.
Whenever there are new messages coming through (say whatsapp, wechat, facebook messenger), there's no notification showing up under a lock screen.
I have already enabled ALL my apps for notification, even the right hand corner under notifications management -> Lock screen notifications -> display all notifications.
I have also tried to change a few themes already and it's still the same....
Is this a common bug for everyone? If not, is there any other ways i can fix this? Just scratching my head on this....
Thanks for the help!
Cheers!

If you mean the black AOD screen the answer is yes. Nothing shows up there expect the battery and music from the Huawei player.
If you mean the screen after that which allows you to use quick toggles the answer is no. That one works just fine.
My lock screen is set to magazine. Maybe that helps.
I was wondering if anyone had solutions to any of these issues:
Double clicking the "recents" button doesn't go the last app, it just acts like I hit the home button once, minimizing everything. Likely fixed by a software update (before 4/29).
The dual screen does NOT abide by my LG Game Settings for apps (resolution and frame rate). I have games set to lower resolution, but they always run at high resolution on the left screen. Even if I swipe an app with lowered resolution from the main screen to the dual screen.
When the phone is locked and I go to expand a notification but don't fully expand it, it slips back but my whole screen becomes unresponsive for a couple seconds.
Some apps have rounded corners from the screen and it's harder to see/click on things that are right in the corners.
Mostly importantly, I can't figure out how to get *any* sort of visual notification on my lock screen. When the screen is locked and off I get audio notifications for everything (messages, emails, etc.), but there is no visual indication whatsoever. The screen doesn't come on, light up for a couple seconds, show the notification appearing, nothing. AND I turned on the bubble notifications and sidelight options in App Notifications -> Notifications -> Brief Notifications. But neither of these works. SOLVED: Ugh, apparently immediately underneath those two options is a list of apps to apply this to. Which I guess is neat? I just want it for all apps. Either way, the default for this happens to be NO apps. So I enabled the apps, this one's solved.
NOTE: I am on the very first update version. I have updates disabled, as I usually do with phones, to keep it on the lowest revision for possible rooting purposes. So if any of these issues has been fixed by one of the (almost always useless) security updates, let me know. THANKS!
I had the same issue with the recent button, and I gave up after searching up and down for a setting or something. then it just fixed itself, which probably means an update. currently running most recent software updates.
Awesome, thanks, I'll mark that one as "solved" in a sense. I have access to a few other phones on the same Android version that don't have the issue, so I figured it was phone specific.
