is there anyway to make it popup and automatically turn on the screen like handcent? Handcent misses alot of text and this app works better but doesnt actually turn the screen on with the pop up.

Sure, it has, go to "Preferences"--"Notification Settings"--"Popup Windows Settings", enable "Unlock screen"
will you be adding led notifications to go sms anytime soon?
I use the app "No Lock" so that I have no Lock Screen (time wasting and useless).
my problem is that my screen does not light up when I get an SMS when lock screen is off. if I switch lockscreen back on it works.
Any idea for a workaround?

I have the same question. Thanks
love the app
I love the app. I've tried both handcent and chomp and they send my msgs multiple times to my contacts and this doesn't! Thanks. Hope it continues to be do so well.
My only problem is that I cannot get the contact pics to work.

Thanks so much for the great app.
Ok guys please post all questions in the thread that they concern
Is there an app where if u receive a txt message, missed call, email or w.e. n let say you u weren't close by youre phone and phone goes back to standby or sleep. Will the led lights on the phone blink like a normal led notification on the g2x.

Yep agreed on that one. The only other 2 I have found worth while and tested are...
"Message Notification"
--This glows a large envelope (literally the size of your screen) momentarily then fades out. This occurs along with your default profile notification. You then have the option to adjust the reminder settings and frequency. For instance that screen with the envelope will glow then fade every 4 minutes if you'd like. I work with my phone resting on a cradle or propped up against something so if you're nearby and miss a text you'll see it shortly thereafter. I know you're OP referred to something without a constant reminder, I'm sure to save battery, but this is again totally customizable and pretty cool. It's worth giving it a shot and then delete if you dont like it.
...and...
"SMS Popup"
-I still use this as of today... when a SMS or MMS text comes in it actually pops up a "cartoon style quote bubble" that has the senders contact card in it as well as the first 4 or 5 lines of message text. You have 3 buttons to choose how to engage: Close, Delete, Reply. Clean UI and works nicely. It stays posted in the foreground so when you're droid wakes up or you unlock screen it'll be there... however it doesn't light up the screen aside from the initial receipt. Hope this helps... the one overground posted above is great too. I have that installed along with SMS Pop.
alright thank u yes the g2xone looks fantastic, n about the message notification i couldnt find it in the market but thank u once again.
I just came from an iPhone 4 and this is my first Android phone (I've used a touchpad with CM9) and I have a fairly simple question which I can't seem to figure out.
When you receive an SMS, or any notification for that matter, the phone will beep or vibrate but the screen remains black.
How can I change the settings to have the screen light up and show the notification I just received like iOS does. I assumed this would just be a standard setting but after searching the phone and internet for about 10 minutes I gave up.
Thank You and sorry for the noobiness. Plz dont kill me I swear im not trolling.

i'm guessing he means without 3rd party apps... in which case, i don't think it's possible - at least until we get custom roms.
that's one thing i really miss about my GSII - that, and BLN. the LED on this HOX is so small, i tend to miss it, even if it's blinking.
So wait, your telling me there's no feature built into ICS that makes any sort of a notification pop up on screen on? That's absolutely ridiculous. What am I supposed to do for push emails? Just listen to the beep and have to go toggle the screen each time I get one to see if its important or not?

you should still get the notifications if your screen is on... i thought you were talking about making SMS and emails light up the display on your screen when the screen is off and you're not using the phone. if you are using the phone, and you get an SMS or email - assuming you are not currently in either of those programs - you should still get a notification.
if you are in fact talking about getting the screen to light up when you receive SMS or email and the screen is off... then yeah, unfortunately, you just have to hear the tone or feel the vibration, and if you miss that, look for the LED. eventually there will be support for making the screen light up, and even BLN (back light notification - where the capacitative keys light up when you receive a SMS or email) - but it's going to take custom kernels for that stuff to happen.

it is kinda bad... for now.
once the bootloaders are unlocked, the real fun will begin, and this stuff will be no problem to implement into custom roms. just gotta be patient for a little bit.

Um, you had to do the same thing with an iPhone. If you missed the initial screen turn on you had to do exactly that. Toggle the screen. Before iOS 5 it was even worse. So calm down and explore your HOX. While you will have to toggle your screen, to make up for it you can customize your lockscreen to quickly allow you to see certain notifications.
If you go to settings -> personalize -> lock screen style and select productivity you'll be able to keep track of your notifications extremely easily.
Otherwise yeah, an easily installed, non-invasive app can quickly fix your problem. If a text makeover isn't what you want check out an app called SMS Flash. It's my favorite least intrusive UI notification pop up. You can't reply from it like you could from SMS Popup or Go SMS Pro pop up notifications, but it does show you them and is slightly customizable.
If you go into the messaging app, then go to settings > notifications. There is an option called notification preview. This will turn on the screen and show you a preview of the SMS you just received.
Also under Personalize > Lockscreen, then select the second option called productivity. This will list all of your active notifications on the screen similar to iOS.
You can also access the notification tray from the lockscreen, provided you don't have any sort of security on (PIN, Pass, Etc).
I also think you're being a bit nit picky about not having the screen light up for every notification. That is just as easy to miss as anything else. You have to be looking at the phone to see that. If I'm working on the computer the sound of a tone or vibrate is much more likely to get my attention. You turn the screen on to check the notification when you're ready... I don't really see a problem. Turning the screen on for anything other than incoming calls/texts seems like a waste of battery to me.
Android is a bit different in that the options aren't centralized. Options for notifications are within each app itself. Some apps (like Facebook app Friendcaster) may include optional popup notifications.

pretty sure that SMS option won't make your screen light up when you receive texts... all it does is place the notification in a square in the middle of your lockscreen, so that when you hit the power button to unlock your phone, you see that square on your lockscreen, rather than having to look for the little icon in the upper left corner of your notification bar.
You get a notification up top....fyi you can pull down the notification bar down and check whatever on the lock screen. You don't actually have to unlock this phone to access notification bar. Love it. My infuse was not the same.

i actually prefer it NOT to be built in to the OS....i have this thing called CHOICE here in the Android world....and I choose NOT to have that feature baked in....i dont want my screen coming on at all, unless i tell it to.....i fail to see how having a third party app that handles this, a bad mark
Handcent SMS is a really good messaging app (better than default IMO). It has a setting that turns the screen on when a message is received. I'm not sure about email because I have never bothered to look for an alternative.
@Pirateghost What if you still had the CHOICE to install a 3rd party app that kept your screen off? Everyone has different preferences, and the OP is upset it isn't available in the stock app. Seems reasonable to me.

i didnt say it was unreasonable, but the OP came off as it was a huge shortcoming and he couldnt believe that its not possible to have it implemented in ICS already...and installing a third party app is putting him out...
just an interpretation of the text.....no clue how it was meant
Seriously how hard is it to install an app that does this?

Yeah we have tons of choice with this bootloader being locked...
Although it would be nice to make your own custom lockscreen style, that has like the weather and productivity combined

Agreed.
Secondly, unless the phone is directly in front of you at all times and you're able to see the screen light up right then and there, then I don't see a difference. If the phone is in your pocket and the screen lights up but you failed to hear the notification, you're still screwed.

Hi, I'm a proud new owner of a HTC U11 and it's my first Android phone. I am having a bit of trouble with the stock messages app as the notifications are not showing on my lock screen so I don't know what type of notification I have received until I look on the menu page and check all my apps. The led light flashes when I get a text and the phone vibrates but no notification on the lock screen. Apps like whatsapp work perfectly fine and show on the lock screen. I have checked the settings on notifications and everything is turned on (as far as I am aware). Does anyone have any advice on how to get the notification working or recommend a better SMS app for the few SMS that I still receive?
Thanks

what does it say if you look in Settings -> Apps -> Messages -> Notifications -> "On the lock screen"?
I would prefer to have text messages turn on the screen so I can see it message briefly without having to interact with the phone.
If that a thing on this phone?
Currently I get a notification on the always on screen, but it's just an icon. I have to unlock the phone and then swipe down and then expand the notification. Seems like alot of extra steps...
