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.

I figured that was my only option too ?
I really like the stock messaging app so I'm hoping someone has a fix!

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.

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?

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 .

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.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
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.

Nice. thanks
Radio is now 1.12.11.1119 and 4G is working inside my office building...no more having to go outside it seems.....
Updates to the Gallery. Now when you open it up you can pick the source
Update to the music app. Same with gallery...you can pick the source.
Update to how it handles 4G and WiFi..basically promising to turn them off when it knows it won't need them as opposed to always scanning.
Update to message app. There are more settings for personalization such as changing bubble colors and background
Low res contact fix which is common for all 4.1 I think
Color scheme change from green to blue to match JB
Pin enabled lock screen change
You can open up the maps to see where your pictures were taken
Stock browser has new look and is JB updated
Power saver
Keyboard has been changed up as well. Now can turn off arrows. Can't turn off prediction (well idk how to)
And more stuff...so far what I pointed out is just what I found to be important to me. I just now got to install this >.< I unrooted and updated.
Edit:
The HTC music app widget in the notification area now has the option to go back as well as pause and go forward
Wallpapers no longer scroll (figuring out of this is on purpose or if there's something i need to mess with)

I was hoping that the ringtone and notification volumes would be separate, but they are not.
Oh well, same old work arounds...
the sound in poweramp mutes temporarily whenver I hit the power button.
Soundhound app button
The soundhound app that was built in now has an icon in the apps tray. Never did before and I had to search for it. I know there was a workaround, I just never got around to doing it.

A feature I noticed when about to go to bed...in the clock app, when setting an alarm, the minutes dial now snaps to 10 minute increments. Pretty convenient compared to the previous endless spinning behavior!
is this the new gingerbread update?
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?

Don't notice anything new right off the bat with the camera. It did take a while to update the firmware though. Still have to dig around
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Here is a summary of changes I noticed:
UI is smoother than before with no hiccups yet, but that may be a placebo effect.
Notification panel toggles look shorter and waste less vertical space. They cannot be turned off anymore. Now you can only select which ones can be scrolled through horizontally before you have to open the full toggles drawer.
Default font seems to have been updated, though I am not sure whether I was on Samsung Sans beforehand and it simply reset the font.
Upon further inspection, it seems as if my font choice has been reset to default from Samsung Sans.
Camera firmware update, but I don't immediately see any changes.
When viewing photos in gallery or camera app, the date taken is shown briefly on the bottom left.
GPS location and Verizon location services have been merged into one option, it is no longer possible to disable Verizon location services if you want to use GPS.
Blocking mode, reading mode added.
Wifi notification can be disabled.
Play store updated to new sliding drawer, version 4.4.2.1 (this may have just been a coincidentally simultaneous update on my part).
There is a link in the app drawer to install KNOX, which looks like some sort of secure VM based on the text in the app.
NFL Mobile added (may have been in MI1 and I just didn't notice, but it is in my app drawer).
Contacts list is more compact (white space removed), you can now see approx. 9 contacts at a time. There is no scroll bar anymore, and the letters to quickly jump through the list are permanently visible.
Wifi location polling when wifi is off (as per Android 4.3).
Calculator is fullscreen (no status bar) with no way to change it, pretty sure this didn't happen before.
The stock music player can now play the mp3 files I have saved on the device. It always said that the files were unsupported beforehand, and I did not change them at all.
The dialer doesn't seem to lag as much when looking up contacts as you type (666 for "MOM"), but this might have come with the overall UI. It also doesn't lock up the phone for half a second when initiating a call anymore.
With Air View on, a few of the options in Developer Options are highlighted when hovering over them (not sure where this came from or why it is there, maybe testing for their 4.4 build, but I noticed it when going through the settings).
Clock app UI updated.
"Disable" in application manager is renamed to "Turn off."
That is all I can see immediately. I do not use stock launcher, keyboard, browser, or email so I did not check these.
Just quick question for those that got it, one of you said your font got reset did ajuthing else reset or get wiped?

There is a bug with the new camera. I have all the animation and transitions set to off in developer options. Transition animation scale gets set to 1x every time the camera is launched. Super annoying.

So this is my first HTC phone and for the most part I am loving it. However, there are two things that I hate. For starters, on a Phone such as the Galaxy s4 or the iPhone, I am able to view who sent me a text on the lockscreen or who sent me a text even when the phone is secured. Now on the HTC m8, I dont get to see any of that. All I see is the number of notifications above the phone app or the messaging app. Also, I hate the fact that if I go into the texting app to view a few messages but not all of them, it will then clear the icon in the notification panel as well as the indicator above the app icon itself. It really makes it super easy to forget if I had any extra text or not.
Check settings lock screen, the m7 had a lockscreen view that showed texts. Haven't got my m8 yet to see if it's still there.
