I have a samsung device which doesn't have an LED light. I've been using the app Glance, but it doesn't, no matter what, turn on the screen for email, google voice, facebook and sms.
It does work for whats app, which is great, but that's it.
Anyone can suggest an app that would work in all these cases... turning on the display when this occurs? I don't know if it's because I'm using screen lock that this is occurring?

I hate how my screen turns on when I receive an sms message. I only need the notification icon in the taskbar and the led blink and if I disable the notifications from the settings the screen does not open but I loose the other notifications as well. Any ways to fix this?

interested in that too
Don't know if it's possible with the stock app, however if you're willing to use a 3rd party app, Go SMS does have an option to keep the screen off and quite possibly other apps do too.

switch to HANDCENT SMS, it is the best sms app, i am using it for a year now. Go to setting and disable pop-up. Now when you receive a message, it will vibrate, led will blink, but screen will not turn on. You will ses the message in the notification bar.

That's what I'm using right now but I want to minimize the use of third party apps as much as possible . Plus with handcent sms when I send a picture or video it doesn't work. I have to use the regular messaging app in order for my mms to leave successfully .

strange, people use handcent just for mms and you are having issues ,, might be problem with settings

Still no solution for this one. I don't want to use handcent or go sms for two reasons. First I like the simplicity if the stock samsung app and second I use the direct call feature that only works with stock app. There must be a way to hack the default messaging app to stock opening the screen when receiving a message.

BUMP. This feature is sooooo annoying!!!!
It irritates me also. I've used Handcent on every device in the past, but I don't want to for some reason on this one. I actually rather like the stock messaging app.
I suppose I'll go back to Handcent. The screen on is annoying, plus it creates a temporary wakelock that drains the battery even more.

If you're running a ROM which doesn't wake the screen for a text, and that annoys you, try SMSawake. Its simple and works flawlessly. No pop ups. Nothing. Just screen on for the length of time you set...
Sorry if posted before. On phone and can't search very easily.

or you can simply use any number or messaging apps that give you way more control over the system than the stock messaging app (handcent, for example, lets you set the screen wake with or without popup, and change notification tones for different users, among others. i'm sure gosms and other messaging apps give similar advanced customization as well).
We all know that. For those that don't want a spaceship for a messaging app, there's this tiny simple solution.
Works very well...

There is probably an option in the messaging app that allows the screen to turn on (depending on the rom).
Most disable it for BLN support.

Not in any messaging app I've seen. I've only seen it in 3rd party apps. And you can have the screen wake and BLN. It just activates when the screen turns off.

I have it in my messaging app. Also Bln on ics with stock messaging app does not work of the screen is activated when receiving a message, so screen wake needs to be disabled for it to function properly.

Quick question. Does anyone find that their led doesn't blink with non stock apps? Like I have gosms and the led lights up and stays lite instead of blinking same with like yahoo mail. I also notice if I use say lightflow and pick say "blue" for an led color the color will show up "red" no matter what color I select it will show up a different color on the led. I just find this weird.

I havn't had any issues with the Gmail app. But I do know that setting g custom LED settings in certain apps can sometimes make the LED act funny you may want to check settings in individual apps.

Uninstall Light Flow and you will be all set. It has some bugs with the S3 sadly. The dev knows about it and will fix it in the next update.

glad I wasn't the only one and was able to check to see others are dealing with the same. I just got my verizon phone yesterday and it has been driving me bonkers tryingt o figure out why it wasn't working! I knew I wasn't that android ignorant!
Not sure if the latest light flow fixes this, but a brand, spanking new release is out!
So just wondering if anyones came across a flashable zip to turn out screens off when getting a text..ive looked and cant find anything. The help would be greatly appreciated!

Turn off notifications and use an app like light flow.
Use a different MMS app.

This.
I use Handcent and there is an option in settings to set the "Do Not Wake Screen" setting.
You need to go into your stock SMS app settings and uncheck notification options though.
As suggested by another user, turn off notifications in the sms app. Download an app called sms popup in the play store. Go into that app. Disable the popup notification. Set the rest of the settings such as the notification icon, notification sound, etc. With all that done, you essentially have the stock app behaving the way you want. I've been rocking this solution along with light manager for a few weeks and it's flawless.

Drives me insane... Samsung always does this and never provide an option to turn it off. This is affecting my moto 360 notifications, battery life and causes me to have accidental button pushes etc.. I don't have root as I have the Verizon varient, any way to fix this on a non rooted phone?

Only option I can think of is to download a sms app from the market. Other than that I don't know, I hate that also.

Yeah, it's a property of Samsung's stock Messages app. Really the only black mark against it if you ask me, it's a great app. Since you have Verizon, the Message+ app is also really nice. Not as clean looking, but it does not turn the screen on when you get a text.
