Is there an app or setting to force the phone to "wake up" when a new notification comes in (gmail, sms, calendar, etc...). I find it easy to miss notifications when the phone is locked and it would be nice for the screen to turn on when a new notification is received on my Captivate.
ChompSMS has a setting that will repeat notifications. I have it set to repeat every 2 mins. That way, my Samsung Vibrant at least has an audio and vibrate notification until I get it. I don't remember if it lights up too...I'll have to check.
edit: it does in fact light up the display for each repeat. The repeat can be set as low as every minute.
ChompSMS is in the google marketplace.

Isn't that just for SMS though? I want something that can handle all notifications especially Google Voice and GMail.

Hi..stupid question but i cannot seem to get my phone to vibrate whenever I receive a text or notification..can someone tell me where i can go to set this?
I tried going into settings, sound and display but i do not have vibrate as a selection in the notification ringtone tab.
Is there an app i can download that allows me to customize my sounds?
thanks!
the settings for notifications are within each messaging application. if you go to your sms application, hit the options button and go into settings. at the bottom you will find the notification settings, including vibrate and a ringtone selection. notifications for each of your messaging apps are configured this way.

Nothing you can do about that in android. Thats the default android vibrate for notifications. I think it sucks too, its way too short and too soft of a vibration.
What you can do is install SMS Popup. Go into settings on that app and enable notifications on it. It has more options for SMS notifications, like you can set a really long vibration. Just remember to then go into the Android messaging app and turn off notifications there, otherwise you'll get double notifications. This will only help fix the problem for SMS messages. I think android still sucks on incoming notifications for other items like emails, etc.
I REALLY like SMS Popup, its great.
whats the best custom setting. i am trying to set it so it virbates alot and i can feel it
Seeing as that the Captivate does not have a notification LED, it sometimes becomes a problem noticing new notifications. I just want to know if there is some kind of application that would flash the screen for a few seconds or so when the phone receives a new notification. I remember my iPhone doing that and it would be cool to see Android phones doing the same.
Look in the development forum for captivate, there is a thread doing this exact thing

No, I know about the red dot on the screen thing. I dont really need that and besides, I believe it kills battery. I just want some app to turn the screen on for a few seconds when I get a notification.
Maybe go to the noled thread and see if he'll add that feature
my screen does flash when I get a message. It pops up in the notification bar and shows two lines of the message then shuts off.

It does this when it is sleeping?
I just tested it. When its locked and the screen is off it revives itself when I get and MMS or SMS. For emails it does not.
handcent sms will do it when you adjust the settings for the popup menu
Oh, maybe it only works for SMS and MMS notifications only. I would like the screen to flash on for every notification (Gmail, Feedr, AIM, etc). Kind of like how the iPhone worked with push notifications.
One thing that bugs me about the Captivate is that I frequently miss notifications while my phone is locked and set to vibrate (the vibrate is very weak for notifications). What I would like is a way to force the phone to "wake up" when any notification is received. By wake up, I mean for the screen to turn on for the default screen time out.
Is there any way of making this happen with an app or a mod? The NoLED app is a good idea but a battery drain... I'd prefer something than only turns on the screen for a minute when the notification is received.

Try searching for mmf in the Market. It doesn't do the exact thing that what you want, but it will turn on the backlighting and flash the screen on/off when it receives sms, voice and gmail.

Thanks! That is a good start... if he adds GVoice support, it would be almost perfect.
EDIT - Did not realize you were the author! If there is a way to add GVoice support it would be awesome.
I've looked around, but couldn't find a method like they did with Gmail. I'll see if I can figure out indirectly watching GV's notification tones though.

Yeah I think the guy who wrote the NoLED app ran into similar issues with GV and other notifications... it not work in vibrate mode. Thanks for checking it out.
A blank/silent mp3 might work w/ vibrate... GV right now just doesn't seem to have a way of announcing that a new message is available like Gmail. I've put an updated version on the Market with notification tone monitoring. Seems to work fine with the limited testing I did with GVoice. It's disabled by default for now, so just toggle it on. hth
Is there a setting or modification available that can make the phone only alert you that you have a notification every, say... 5 minutes? I don't mean that it'll keep reminding you every 5 minutes for the same notification, I mean that if there are more notifications within 5 minutes of the "first" one, the phone will not alert again.
This would be great for all the scenarios that I can't respond immediately but a friend is messaging me in multiple messages (as is typical behavior in instant messaging). The repeating and sometimes overlapping alerts are bothersome. I still want to know if I got something so I'm not going to just turn off alerts either.
So, is there anything that can help me out?
Anyone?
what are the default notifications for this phone...coming from a S5 where it was long vibrate/blue led for gmail, short vibrate/green led for text, and double vibate/i think pink led for facebook
shouldnt it be the same on the note since its lollipop?
i could of sworn gmail did the long vibrate when i first set up the phone but now it does double vibrate and i keep thinking it's facebook...is there a way to change it without lightflow?
i tried making a custom vibrate patter in system settings but gmail still double vibration
thanks!
I'm too ADD to have noticed anything you mentioned above. I always thought all notifications are the same. Either you're real astute or you have way too much time on your hands lol.
