Display never flashes on when a new SMS comes

Guys, I'm wondering why a display never flashes on when a new SMS/MMS comes to my device?
Here are Notification flash options:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see everythins is ok, but it doesn't work actually.
So how to fix it?
Thank you!

You can get SMS replacement apps that will create the LCD Screen on feature.
Handscent is a great one. It's free on the play store.
I'm also pretty sure you can get SMS apps that don't replace the stock SMS app if you are happy with it and JUST create a pop up message that turns the screen on.
All this stuff works on stock unrooted phones.

Here's some tips for balance of speed and battery life! (Works very well)

First of all, download an app called "Setxperia" , go to your cpu settings and set your governor to ondemand, and threshold to 40 (This gives responsiveness and speed comparable to higher end phones such as my galaxy s2). Second, download an app called "Deep sleep battery saver" , set the preset on any you want (I recommend strong) , set your screen on and off delay to 5 seconds. For battery discharge settings, set it to 10% , for recharge settings, press ignore. (Doing this compensates for power the low threshold uses) and there you go, done! Tested on my galaxy s2 first then sidekick 4g, methods work for both devices.

I only ever see a battery issue when I use wifi. But I might as well try this out.

[APP][4.0.3+] Netflix Sleep Timer

Beta on the Play Store
What does it do?
It acts as a sleep timer for the Netflix app, putting it to sleep after a set period of time.
How does it work?
It works by initially lowering the volume and brightness of your display, so you don't get awoken by the sudden silence if you're using it at night. It then closes the Netflix app, puts your display to sleep (by changing the display timeout to it's lowest setting), then puts all your settings (volume etc) back to their original values. Job done.
Why does it need permission to modify system settings?
Two reasons:
It needs this permission to be able lower the screens brightness to gently sleep the Netflix app.
To turn your device off afterwards, the technical choices were either a, set the timeout to the lowest level and let the device put itself to sleep, or b, request device admin permissions to allow the app to manually turn off your screen... I don't know about you but I'm not too keen on giving apps admin access to my device
Known issues
There is currently no way to interrupt the app, so if it triggers at the set time, you just have to wait for it to finish - This will be resolved in the next release.

Just found out the app beta didn't actually publish so no one could download it ??
My bad.. It's up now (link in OP) ?
