[Q] Messaging app automatically reading texts and not notifying - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey all, I'm having an issue with my messaging app. It only started happening within the last week or so. If i open up the Messaging App and am talking to someone but happen to leave the app actively open on the screen and simply just hit the power button, any texts I would then receive dont notify me. I have to hit the home button or switch to a different app in order to get notified i have a new text. The app seems to be automatically "reading" the text and not playing my notification sound or adding a notification on the notification bar. I'm on the latest version of ParanoidAndroid if that helps any.
Thanks in advance!

Just to rephrase incase it was confusing wording: If i have the Messaging app open when i turn the screen off, i wont get any notification that i've received a text (icon in bar, sound, vibrate) HOWEVER, if i go back to my home screen or to another app it will all function as intended.
This just started recently and out of the blue (when i was on an older paranoid android build) so i updated my rom trying to fix it so i am now on the latest and it still seems to be happening.

Final Update: I just did a full reset and flashed over to LiquidSmooth to try it out, so unfortunately i didnt find a solution to fix that specific issue.

[Q] Notification Screen Flash App?

Seeing as that the Captivate does not have a notification LED, it sometimes becomes a problem noticing new notifications. I just want to know if there is some kind of application that would flash the screen for a few seconds or so when the phone receives a new notification. I remember my iPhone doing that and it would be cool to see Android phones doing the same.
Look in the development forum for captivate, there is a thread doing this exact thing
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
No, I know about the red dot on the screen thing. I dont really need that and besides, I believe it kills battery. I just want some app to turn the screen on for a few seconds when I get a notification.
Maybe go to the noled thread and see if he'll add that feature
my screen does flash when I get a message. It pops up in the notification bar and shows two lines of the message then shuts off.

It does this when it is sleeping?
I just tested it. When its locked and the screen is off it revives itself when I get and MMS or SMS. For emails it does not.
handcent sms will do it when you adjust the settings for the popup menu
Oh, maybe it only works for SMS and MMS notifications only. I would like the screen to flash on for every notification (Gmail, Feedr, AIM, etc). Kind of like how the iPhone worked with push notifications.

Text Message Notification Problem

Just curious if this is a problem for just me or if anyone else has noticed it as well (Sense problem, maybe?)
When I have a text notification in my drop down panel, I select it, and nothing happens. The notification panel disappears (which you'd expect to happen when selecting it) but my SMS app never opens.
Anyone else? or am I alone?

Are you using stock sms app? You are dragging the app down to the ring right?

Stock app, yes - but not talking about from the lock screen. Just in general.
SMS comes in, alert is in my notification panel, I select it, and the app doesn't actually open.

Nope. the notification stays. SMS comes in, notification pops up, I select it, notification panel goes away, but I'm still in the same app (or homescreen etc).that I was in prior to attempting to open the notification.
SMS app loads fine from homescreen shortcut, but rarely opens from the notification panel.
Have not seen that problem, but have had problems with not receiving notifications every time I receive a message. Perhaps the problems are related? Out of curiosity, have you noticed if the problem happens more often when the phone is charging?
Don't know yet if the update solved the problem...

Well, I rooted and installed LeeDroid, so my problem has disappeared.
Good luck!
I'm still on stock and rooted and I know exactly what youre talking about.

I almost never get a notification when I receive a text. No sound, vibration, no little number on the icon. It seems to not want to notify me when I am using the phone.

Probably a daft question, but have you tried changing the settings from within the Messages app (Open the app, then Settings > Notifications)? These are different from the settings in the Phone Sound settings menu.

Messenger (SMS) notifications disappearing after 1 second

When I receive a text message (using Google's Messenger), the screen lights up and I see the notification on the lock screen. After 1 or 2 seconds, without any input, the notification disappears before I can do anything. This has caused me to miss several (somewhat) important text messages because when I go back, the notification is no longer there to remind me to check my messages.
Any suggestions of how to fix this?
Same issue on LG V20 running Android 7.0. Started with Hangouts messages only and then spread to SMS/text messages yesterday. heads up notification displays for fraction of a second before disappearing. Same behavior with notification icon in notification bar. Shows for split second before apparently being instantaneously dismissed. Expanding notification shade shows no notification. I thought it was my messaging app Textra, but full uninstall re-install did not fix. Tried reverting to stock Android messaging app, still no fix. Reverted from Nova to stock Launcher, no fix. This is maddening! Sounds like it might be an OS bug, but your the first person to post something exactly like I'm experiencing. Hopefully more find this and report. No fix as of yet that I've found.
I had a chat with Samsung support where basically they had me first boot into safe mode to ensure no 3rd-party apps were messing it up (they weren't). Then (in regular boot mode), I had to enable all disabled apps (AT&T bloatware). Then, I enabled notifications for all apps.
This fixed my issue well enough. The notifications appear, then go away after a second, but then immediately come back. It's still quirky, but now the notifications are persistent.

Solution for Notification issue on Nex S

So I tried this on my main social apps and they are appearing flawlessly. I hope they are useful.
Please follow the below steps to solve it:
1. Slide upward from the bottom of the screen to bring up the Control Center, hold and press the WhatsApp icon and click Add to white list;
2. Enter i Manager>Power manager>Excessive background battery usage>turn on the switch of WhatsApp;
3. Access i Manager>App manager>Autostart manager>turn on the switch of WhatsApp.
This worked for me with my Samsung Gear Fit2 watch. You have to make sure all of the Samsung apps and plugins associated with the Gear Fit2 are enabled in iManager (iOS hints everywhere... Lol)
Ok uninstalling iManager app notification from all app works excellent now

Notification where? In the lock screen? Notification on the icon? Notifications in the notifications drop down menu?

for example ... when a team scores a goal sound notification late more than 5 minutes and so constantly
So I'm dealing with a slight problem. Honestly could just be something to get used to. I have the India Model (Global Rom), and I deal with a notification issue for my lock screen. I've already done adb and gotten rid of iManager, but I still seems to have an issue with notifications coming through.
This is mostly with Android Messages (I use this as my default). If I leave a notification of a message on my lockscreen for too long, it eventually disappears and indicates on my home screen I no longer have a notification (Using Nova). But when I enter the app of course the message is still there and says unread. Its a small problem, but it can become annoying.
Its as if I leave a notification in the status bar for too long, it eventually disappears and then indicates I no longer have a notification. Is this just a normal thing for an international device? ( I am in the states by the way).
Its a small gripe, because otherwise I still love the device and I'm glad I waited for the India model. Its my daily driver for now.
anyone have problem with whatsapp vibration unable to change into the default/short/long options... no matter which option i chose... the whatsapp vibration will just revert back to the default vibration.... my group msg vibrating like mad instead of the short vibration that I really like for grp chat....
Easiest way to deal with problems on the Vivo Nex= just sell the phone and go with Xiaomi or OnePlus.

Not getting WhatsApp notifications

Hi guys! I have a V15 (not pro but there's apparently no separate forum for it) but I am not getting WhatsApp notifications on it. If I choose the popup notifications in the app that works, but I find that quite annoying. A notification in the notification bar would be more than enough, but it's not there. So I have to manually open WhatsApp to check for new messages. Any suggestion on how to fix it? It worked in the beginning but after a week or two it stopped working.
Thanks in advance!
