I bet what you're dealing with was my problem too. I would send a text, turn the screen off but leave the messaging app up and then when they responded the screen would come back on and the phone would think I read the message since it opened right back up to the same conversation. The only way for me to fix this was to turn instant lock on so when the screen came back on it went to the lock screen instead of completley turning on the phone. This is a stupid feature from Samsung IMO and they have always done it.. Problem is that I like their messaging app (especially the quick reply and favorites at the top) so I don't want ot switch to something else... hoping someone comes out w/ a modded app like they have on other Galaxy's. Just not sure if I'll be able to install it since I have the Verizon varient and likely will never get root.

hmmm. one thing ive noticed is my watch would get notifcations and wouldn't vibrate if i didn't have the app set to vibrate on my phone. IE Bleacher Report is silent on my phone so I get a card but no vibrate on my watch. not sure if it's supposed to be like this though as I'm new to android wear.
Guys I think I've figured this out!
Okay so my text my messages are set to vibrate only but I only get the vibrate on my watch if I have a ringtone set. If its on silent it won't work.
SOLUTION:
To fix this set your default text messaging app's notification to "default notification sound" and your main notification sound under your phones main settings to "silent" ever since then my watch vibrates and the screen lights up every time!

I was curious if anyone is having this issue. For some reason, my phone will only notify me of every few text messages/emails.
For example, Ill get a message and it'll ring normally. Then Ill get another one a few minutes later but It wont notify me at all. The same thing happens when the phone is on vibrate.
Anyone else having this sort of issue or know of a way to fix it?
Cheers
I've had this happen to me too. I think it's because when locking the phone, you're usually still on the sms app because you intend to respond when messaging someone. So it kinda stays on the screen beneath the lockscreen, which can take as long as 15 seconds to let the phone sleep. If you go back to home after responding and lock your phone, you'll hear the notification.
Just a fault in the ui.

ahhh that makes sense. ill try and give that a shot and see if that makes a difference.
Thanks!
One thing that's a love/hate thing for me with this phone is the vibration. It's super loud and powerful. At first I loved it, but at work, it's actually a little obnoxious. Every time I get a text you can hear it from the other side of the room. I know with some phones there's options for pattern and intensity.. haven't seemed to find this. Anyone have an idea? I know I could also turn off vibrate notifications and just put the ring volume lower, but that can be just as distracting. And then I have to change it back to vibration on when I leave work.
Also one of my big issues is with the keyboard disappearing after every text I send. I'm using the stock Sense keyboard. I'm unsure if this is controlled by the keyboard itself or the messaging app. Normally this phone is super speedy, but every text I send, the keyboard disappears, and then it requires about 3 seconds before I can load it back up again if I'm sending back to back texts. I've seen this option in other messaging apps to hide/keep the board after sent message. Anyone see this functionality anywhere?
I've got everything stock, btw.
I've searched everywhere on how to do this but can't find anything -- When your screen is off and you get a text the screen turns on...Where is the setting to turn this off??? My notification LED is enough for me to know I have a message, don't need my screen always turning on.

I don't have my edge yet, in the mail so I can't tell you on the stock messenger app, but on my current phone i use the app Textra (which is great, I highly recommend trying it out) and in the notification settings there is an option specifically for this. Can set it to turn the screen on when receiving a text or leaving it off. there is also an option to turn the screen on except when the phone is set to silent.

I just posted this same question, I've turned off the setting in the message app to "turn off pop up display" but the screen still turns on with a pop up message...I don't know what's going on lol.
I've been through the settings a dozen times. There doesn't seem to be a way to stop this from happening on stock messenger. I can confirm that using a 3rd party (I use go sms) stops it from happening once you set it as default messenger.

Yeah. I ended up getting Textra before you posted this - liking the customizable options so far. I've always used GoSMS in the past and Hangouts but this one is a bit cleaner.

Double confirming this. With Samsung's Messages app the screen turns on for me, as it did when I had the S3, though it's more bearable now that I can unlock the S6 with my fingerprint. Using Verizon's Message+ screen does not turn on. This is really the only strike against Messages for me. Message+ is a little more sophisticated, but not as clean looking. I think I still prefer Messages because it's cleaner and I like the vibration notification better (two short bursts instead of one long). Again, the screen turning on isn't a deal breaker for me because the phone stays locked without my fingerprint.
solution
This issue is because Samsung put in their own text messenger called messages rather than using the Google made one called messenger while using the same icon. You can download the original messenger off of the Google Play Store just search messenger and look for the one by Google. Once you switch to the one by Google that should not turn your screen on anymore, you may have to change a setting to make it that way. Since I installed it haven't had the issue at all.

go on to notification settings, scroll to messages, turn off allow notifications.
then go on messages app. click more then settings then notifications and turn the setting off.
the screen will no longer light up when you get a message.
the LED will flash though so you know. also if you use nova you can set the badge app notification so it will show when you receive a message but again the screen will stay off.
I am using a note 3 with stock 5.0 rooted..
When I get a text.. My phone vibrates and played my notification sound... This works fine.. However.. When I am done reading a text sometimes I just set my phone down with the conversation still open.. And when I receive a new text the phone assumes I am just looking at the conversation because it's open and doesn't give me any kind of notification or vibration what so ever... My girlfriend has got upset on more than one occasion be a use I didn't text her back.. Cause I would check the phone then set it down and then she would text me like 3 times and my phone doesn't tell me.
How can I get it to make a sound or vibrate for every text? Regardless if the app is open or not
bump... would really appreciate some help on this
Yes, my phone on android 5.0 behaves the same.
Generally after reading a text, I usually press home button or lock the screen to make sure i don't miss such notifications..
I use the stock text app Google Messages. When the phone is sitting next to me, and I get a new text, all I get is the sound of the text beeping, but the screen doesn't wake up. The screen should wake up when that text comes in. What Setting do I need to change to make the screen wake ?
I feel so bad. I really tried looking into this when I saw your post over there. The only thing I'm reading is that it'll be in the messenger app setting. This seems like such an easy thing but I can't figure it out! I always keep all my notifications off my lock screen and I hate my screen turning on for anything but calls.
I really hope someone has an idea!
