How to turn screen on when I receive whatsapp notification? - General Questions and Answers

I followed these steps described here but its not working...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32436221&postcount=9
any ideas?
Basically I set up to wake device (screen on for 2 seconds) when I receive a notification whose owner is whatsapp.

Wouldn't the simple vibrate notification suffice? Either you have the phone in your hands - then you'll notice a new message immediately - or your phone is a little distance away, in which case a turned on screen for 2 secs won't alert you as good as a vibrating device.

Screen light when receiving emails

This was a gripe with my orbit and is the same with my orbit 2.
Is there a setting for a new email to act the same as receiving an sms, ie the screen lights up and a preview appears.
Failing that just the screen lighting up.
I have my phone on silent at work so have no idea when an email has arrived.
Thanks
Have you tried Settings>>Sounds and Settings>>Notifications Tab
- Select "Messaging: New e-mail messaging
-Adjust your sound, screen, light and vibration settings.
Or are you saying this doesn't work for you?
Sorry, should have said that. No, just doesnt light up the screen. does it with other people?

[Q] Dynamic Notification custom screen time out & breathing notification problem.

I have a Dynamic Notification custom screen time out & breathing notification problem on my Samsung Galaxy S5.
I use Light Flow for the blinking light text notification. However, with my new S-View Flip Case, I no longer see the blinking light
So, I want to use Dynamic Notification for the lock screen text notification.
In Dynamic Notification setup I can't get the custom screen time out or breathing notification time to work right?
I tried almost everything to get the custom screen time out or breathing notification time to work?
Turned off Lightflow, gave Dynamic Notification permissions where needed etc.
I enabled the app in my system settings in the "Security" - "Device administrators" panel
Dynamic Notification screen comes on when I get a text message for 5 seconds, then doesn't come back on for 2 minutes?
I have Custom Screen Time Out set for 15 seconds (turns off after 5 seconds no matter what I set it for)
I have Breathing Notification set to repeat every 30 seconds (comes on every 2 minutes no matter what I set it for)
Played with settings for three hours last night and gave up... what am I doing wrong?
Oh yeah, I paid $1.99 for the premium version too.

Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
I think I found the problem. It is conflicting with the new S-View Flip Case program that turns on the screen. When the flip case is open, DN works as it should irregularly within 5 seconds of times I set. With flip case closed it is irregular, sometimes comes right on and stays on or comes right on, goes off in 5 seconds, then stays off for 3-4 minutes. Lately the lock screen window with the flip closed just stays on. Works within 5 seconds of what I have set if the flip is open.
This is the case I just got for $50 I sure hope I didn't waste $50. Can't return it.

No yellow indicator in always on mode?

I received my Geaar S3 Frontier yesterday, switching from an Android wear watch.
After playing around with the watch for several hours and testing many different watch faces I can't figur out how to display the yellow indicator for new notifications in ambient mode (AOD activated).
Do I really have to enter "active mode" to see if I have unread notifications?
Yes, you have.
In aod only static information, apart from the hour/date, can be shown. Battery cannot be showed also!

Same experience but reviving this topic just in case there is any new setting/workaround? Love to keep my phone with AOD on, Wake Up Gesture off (so that when i'm out dancing or just moving my hands around it doesn't turn on for no reason), but would love to just turn my wrist and see if there is a notification (ie. screen remains dim).
There's a difference between knowing that there is a notification and being able to read it's contents.
My watch settings:
AOD
Wake up gesture- off
Notification indicator- show on watch face
Sound and vibrate- on (wine cork sound is relatively unobtrusive)
My Gear Manager app settings:
Turn screen on- off (if this is on, notifications will automatically be readable on the screen)
Notification indicator- on
Auto show- off, I know there's a notification because it beeps but it doesn't activate screen so I can't read it.
Auto show- on, tapping on the screen will show message.
There's a lot of flexibility. A notification can be silent, trigger a sound, trigger a vibration, or trigger an indicator. The contents of the notification can be automatically displayed, displayed by a wrist gesture, displayed by a simple tap, or not displayed at all.

Easy read notifications

I have the wake up on gesture setting switched to on. When a notification comes in while driving and the screen turns of, usually when I turn the watch towards my face the notification has disappeared. Is there a way to make the notification longer visible on screen, even after the screen has turned off? It would be so handy if tilting my arm would make the incoming notification visible, even after a minute or so.
there's actually a bug right now(which Samsung refuses to talk about) that instantly dismisses notification pop-ups sometimes and marking them as read.
I had it just now while typing this, with not even 1 second between the notification coming in and me looking at the screen.
I suggest you report it, the more reports the more likely Samsung is going to look into fixing it.
Use bezel ?

Question How to set on screen notifications + wake up display

Hi,
I have been occuring a problem for a half year now or so. After a major update to new version of one UI (4.5) my on screen notifications are not working anymore. I can see only small red dot and need to swipe to see the noticifations.
I did follow bunch of instructions how to enable it back... paired and unpaired phone, got a new phone, try enable/disable all... Yet still same result: all I can get is only red dot (screen indicator) and then I need to wake up the display and swipe to read notifications.
My setting in galaxy wear app for notifications:
show notificitations even when using phone
notificitaion indicator ON
read notifications aloud OFF
show details ON
turn on display ON
allow for new apps ON
Is there any way to enable again something like "wake up display upon receiving new notification and show it on screen"? Or any idea why is it not working anymore? Could it be watch face problem?
thanks.
I just found out recently that after switch to ring mode from vibration mode it started displaying messages again. Please check and confirm if its the same or i tinkered something else....
