Hello I just received the HTC Sensation yesterday and this phone is amazing. I have one small issue though that I haven't been able to find using search.
I'm currently running Android Revolution 3.0.1 and whenever I receive a text while the screen is off, the notification rings but my screen remains off. I spent an hour already looking through settings and other options on "how to enable the screen to turn on when I receive a text" and I can't seem to find it.
Where/what is the option to enable it? Any help would be appreciated thank you.
Can't do it with the stock sms. Go sms and I think sms popup, maybe others from the market can do this.

+1 for SMS Popup
Use Tasker.
I also use SMS Popup, great app. Answer your sms messages right from the pop up. Lots of good settings to fool around with.
try handcent? whatsapp doesn't work too. kinda disappointed.

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.

Isn't that just for text messages? I would prefer something that works for all notifications including GMail and Google voice.
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 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
I just received my inspire yesterday. First I should mention that the desire be other box defender case fit perfect. The big issue I have with this phone and text is even if the phone is security lock and screen lock, incoming text message is still displayed on the phone for everyone to see. I'm surprise that I'm the only one that finds this to be a big problem. I already search Google and crab about this issue and didn't find anything. As I'm typing this post have my screen went black
I use Handcent and it has an option in Notifcation settings to "Show when locked". Turn this off and the pop ups won't display when the screen's locked. I didn't use the stock messaging app as I've always loved Handcent. If you choose to use handcent, disable notifications in the stock messaging program all together
yeah use a3rd party mms app, such as handcent where you have more options and control about how your phone notifies you.

Hi,
I've been trying to disable talk application to display text of incoming messages (security risk), while still being notified when new message arrives. Not an option . You can either disable notifications for good, make them pop up (even worse) or have it as it is by default: showing you a line of text from last message you received.
I installed trillian IM hoping it would have the option I need, but with no luck. I'm perfectly happy with talk app btw, but lack of this option is simply plain old stupid.
Does anyone know how to resolve this or some other IM messenger that I could use instead, which has this nice little option?
Cheers
I have been using SMS Popup since the original G1, but they said with the switch over to Hangouts on the Nexus 5, there are some bugs that they are unable to work out. Is there a different app you guys are using that's working without any issues? I just want the message to popup and the ability to quick reply to it.

This isn't *exactly* what you're looking for, but check out DynamicNotifications. It makes it so when you get an email, or text, it shows message details on your lock screen and you can swipe to unlock and it'll go straight to the message. Hopefully it'll fill in the gap, as I've replaced SMS Popup with it since my Galaxy Nexus.....
I'll think about it, but at the moment, I don't have a lock screen enabled.

I second this, pure stock android messaging, extremely customizable, has popup that can be toggled, toggle it to turn on your screen, change MMS size, app icon, has status bar "Read" "Reply" options, best sms app I could ask for on this device.
