My Edge's screen will turn on when I get text messages but when I get emails, it just stays black. I'm using the stock email app and I just can't see why it stays off!
Am I missing something obvious - my wife's S5 turns on for both with no problems at all.
Can anyone help please?

Hi, I just can't seem to find a fix for this anywhere. When I receive a message my screen automatically powers on even if the device is in stand by in my pocket. Has anybody figured out a fix for this without turning off notifications completely? Thanks in advance.
What messaging app are you using?
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.
I have hunted and hunted, but can't figure this one out. On my Note 2 I could go to the stock Samsung calendar settings and turn off "Notifications While the Screen Is Off." However, on the S4 I do not see the option to turn these notifications off. I have tried different roms, etc.
I need to keep notifications on so that they sit in my notification bar when I turn the screen on (so, I can't completely turn off notifications). However, I don't want my screen turning on every 15 minutes that I have an appointment (this drains the battery pretty quick).
Anyone know what I'm talking about or what to do about it? By the way, I would go with the stock Google calendar, but like Samsung's much more.
Thanks in advance for any help.
One more try ... anyone have any suggestions? Thanks a lot.

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same problem. I get the notification, but it keeps the screen on until I acknowledge. I don't usually notice until my pocket gets really warm, then I realize the screen's been on the whole time.
Hello, I have read a few threads here about screens waking up when you get a text.
Mine does not wake up when i get a text but i want it to. My galaxy s3 did but i can not find a setting on the s6 to make the screen wake when i get a text.
Only thing i have found is a setting for the led to light up.
here is the thread about the phone WAKING up but does not want it to.

I WANT it to light up the screen when i get a text.
Any info would be great.
Hi
For those that have their phone already, do you have issues with notifications from whatsapp and edge lightning. I have setup my phone to have edge lightning come on when receiving new notifications. All apps work fine, just not whatsapp. Edge lightning is setup to always come on, but when the screen is off, then there is no notification from whatsapp. I get the sound, but no visual notification. When the screen is on, then whatsapp will trigger the notification. I have tried all combinations of letting whatsapp notify me etc, but no popup or edge lightning when I get a whatsapp when the screen is off. Ideally I would like edge lightning to notify me....Anybody having this issue?
change your whatsapp popup notification setting to "only when screen off". the edge lighting should work if ur phone is locked and faced up.
however when facing down, the edge lighting will not work anymore (probably the sensor is being blocked). i can't seem to find any solutions for whatsapp edge lighting to work when phone is facing down though.
For me, when the screen is blocked and I receive a WhatsApp call I have to unlock the phone to be able to answer. I guess it's a permission thing, they complicated things lately.

I will try the whatsapp setting....
so far it looks like it is working correctly...thanls
So how do you fix that? I have the same problem, and it is new; it wasn't that way until a few days ago, so something changed!
