I'm really really used to MIUI and other roms that will wake the phone to show me a preview of the text recieved, even if the phone is locked. I tried using MiLocker, and the screen doesn't wake, nor does the SMS icon show me a preview of the message.
I'd really just like the screen to wake when I get a text.
Can anyone help? TIA.
I don't think so. Handcent is always an option.

Yeah I would use it if it wasn't so damn ugly.
You can set the lock screen style to Productivity. This won't automatically turn on the screen, but it will show you incoming previews of SMS, as well as email, appointments and calls (you can turn off any of those you like).
Get an app called SMS pop up, its perfect!

Does Android have an elegant/intuitive messaging app with Emoji support? All of these messaging apps are so goddamned ugly... Even chompSMS isn't attractive to me anymore
Hey that Notifier Pro IS a really good app for those of us coming from the iPhone that liked the IOS pop ups on the screen.
I just DL'd the free version to try it out and with the screen off, if you get a message, text email ect, the screen turns on for a few seconds and you get a short banner type message with a contact pic. Pretty cool.

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.

Hey guys,
Been trying to figure out if there's a setting or a simple app to install to turn on the screen when I get a text?
Sms pop up isn't really my flavor. I don't like the the pop ups and I'm happy with the Sense lock screen sms notification.
Essentially I want to keep everything how it is in a stock fashion, but just have the screen turn on when I get a message.
Thanks.

Have you tried this?

Popup Notifier
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.
I remember having lock screen notifications using ICS on my old Xperia T. It would show text, Facebook, calls, etc on the lock screen.
Does anyone know a decent mod or app to use for enabling lock screen notifications?

Hi there been trying loads over the weekend, all the ios7 etc, an awful lot of them have flaws like letting access to the phone through the recent app button. there have been several plus sides as well. At the moment i have found this app "Echo Notification Lockscreen" on the play store. I have also added "iControl(IOS 7 Partner)" but again there were limitations not all the actions will work with this lock screen.
The ultimate which i've not managed was an IOs lock screen (that was actually secure) that let you reply to text messages (and others) without having to unlock the phone (1 app did that but wasn't secure).
Try to use Nils from Google play
Hi again, just a bit more info. I have had another go today at finding the best solution. several sms apps will display on the lock screen but then disapear after a set time, no good if you missed it as it arrived.
I have been playing with the Nils app before and I am unable to get contact pictures to display next to messages, even after trying several sms apps and being in touch with the developer.
But the best I've managed so far is as follows. A app called iOS 7 Lock Screen Theme by huntdevs gives a plain lock screen which can slide to reveal a pin code screen. On the plain screen you can then use NiLS Lockscreen Notifications by Roymam this will then display sms and other notifications on the lockscreen, these remain on the screen untill opened, even if the screen times out and is turned back on manually, furthermore you have the ability to reply to them from within the app whilst still locked.
Warning as I said earlier there is a facility to disable the home button but the recent app button is still active meaning that any apps used recently have the ability to be opened without unlocking the phone. Further more the pin lock screen gives you access to the emergenecy dial function and sadly again where as the default lock screen will only let you dial an emergency number, this app will let you see all of your contacts and further more dial any number you want!!
One final thing the ios7 locker does give you access to the functions of the Iphone from the slide at the bottom of the screen and for me the added advantage of this app over several of the others is that the phone function icon is missing (all be it available through the emergency function).
hope tihs helps.
I use NiLS. I purchased the pro version so i can customize it to my liking and for the ads not to draw my data. It works like a charm, instant, and looks almost stock.
I have attached an image for an example.

Hi there I see you have the same issue as I have experienced the App refuses to show the contact picture (unless of course you don't use them).
On a further note i have had to uninstall the iOS7 lockscreen, apart from the issues already mentioned, a big down side for me turned out that the app kills sound from the walkman app when the screen goes off, so listening to music, throwing to a sound bar or linking to a car Bluetooth are all muted. So again im back to stock lockscreen with just the Nils app over the top for indication only.
When i first installed the app it would show the users image. I didn't like it so I changed it to App Icon. Oddly, i tried to switch it tot he other 2 settings, and now it does't appear. .. oh well i am not really worried about it. I like the basic icon look instead of the pictures.

Is that how you have the default sony clock with the nils notifications in your picture?

The clock and lock screen is all sony stock. NiLS will just add the notification over whatever lock screen you have.
Will it work with a PIN locked screen? There's not much space for notifications actually so I wonder how it would look.

It doesn't the lock screen always starts maximized, Dash clock used to have the option to just have a padlock at the bottom of the screen so your information was always visible when turning on the phone but the latest version of that always starts with the lock pattern or number pad visible and you have to swipe down every time to view notifications and then back up again to unlock your device (there all a pain now with extra strokes needed to use them)

Odd, I know you can resize/change the location of the NiLS. When you have a NiLS message on your lock screen, tap and hold down on the notification to adjust (i had to adjust mine because when it was charging the notification would be on top of the charging percentage)
After installing again and play around I knew my original mistake. Just do not add nils as lockscreen widget. Let nils display notification automatically then I can resize.
BTW will this lockscreen feature notification be part of Android L? Just thinking on buying the nils pro version.
