Hi
When i get a message from ping or whatsapp or even sms message through handcent. the green LED notifier doesnt flash on the top.
Instead i have to first wake the screen up and then turn it off then the LED blinks green.
Is there anyway to fix this? i have a work around with handcent atm using the popup and setting a screen sleep time of 10s. but when i receive a message from ping or whatsapp, i would only hear it for the first time and after that nothing until i turn the screen on.
Thanks
How do I prevent my screen from turning on when receiving a text?
Just got my S4 and am having trouble with one thing. Every time I receive a text message, the screen turns itself on.
What I've already tried:
- The feature is unchecked in the settings, but even then, screen still turns on.
- Installed Handcent (so I could use pop-up feature), disabled notifications from default app, still screen turning on.
- Disabled default app, screen still turns on when texted.
- Turned off pop-up, thought it may be doing it, screen turns on from texts.
I have no idea what else to do and this is an annoying thing. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, if so, please point it out.
Thanks.
Per title. I've googled and found answers that refer to turning off "preview message" in the messaging app, but it's not on for me. I'm not previewing messages, but every time I get a text it turns on the screen and it STAYS on. Is there any way to stop that from happening?
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.
