I assume that this is the way the Sensation or HTC phones are? The screen does not turn on when receiving an SMS when using the native app?
Any apps that I could use to make the screen turn on when I receive an SMS apart from switching messaging apps?
P.S.: Has a solution for the 5 minute LED notification been found?
Thanks so much.

But then what pops up is SMS popup's app right? I just want the screen to turn on as I turn it on usually and see the message on the lockscreen...
I'm sure there's an app for that, but usually when I use it, the popup is gone and the screen will be on and the message In the lockscreen.

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.

Any idea when light flow and dashclock will be updated to work with 4.4 and the N5?

Lightflow works perfectly for me.
I'll give it a shot. The first several reviews say it doesn't work. Haven't personally tried it.
dashclock doesn't work on 4.4 & N5? Damn!
Lightflow works for me too

for the guys who have light flow working, is your hangouts notifications working? everything works fine for me except hangouts.
Dash Clock works fine for me, but Lightflow doesn't seem to. The test option doesn't work. Is this the same for you guys who have it working otherwise?
I emailed the Lightflow dev. he said there are some hangouts issues, but he is working on fixing them ASAP. However, for my purposes it works fine. I just set all hangouts to one blinking color.
As for dashclock, how do I add it to a lockscreen? On 4.3 I had to create a new lockscreen and all that jazz, but I'm not able to do that on 4.4???
Edit: I know how to put the dashclock on a homescreen, but how do I place it on a lockscreen in 4.4.

Test works for me. All works except splitting up hangouts notifications and having the LED be "always on". Dev says he is working on it. Here is the message I got from him:
Hi
I'm working on it, although most things should already work. I know sms doesn't with the new Hangouts integration and the "always on" led doesn't work on the nexus 5.

Have you enabled lockscreen widgets? It's under security settings.

from the lock screen, pull down the default clock (this will enter the lockscreen setup), then swipe left to right, click on the + sign, select dashclock, pick extensions, press the TICK to save...then go back to step one and remove the default lockscreen (or add more)

Thanks, I forgot there was a lockscreen widget setting under security. Its odd.
Also, it looks like Light Flow works, unless you have any notification set to "always on." The devhas confirmed this and he said he has a workaround coming.

It doesn't work for me with stock options. Even deleted data and ran it again. Enabled/disabled/enabled the LED light in Android's display settings but no difference. There's something going on, with what seems an equal number of people reporting it's buggy or it plainly doesn't work, and people for whom it works well.
Doesn't work for me either, I've tried everything. It works when I do the test LEDs, but doesn't seem to work with any notifications. I don't have always on, but I have a custom interval for the pulsing, could that be the issue?
FYI sometimes "test" won't work but the app itself nevertheless works fine.
So don't assume that just because the test feature isn't working that the app itself is not working.

Anyone else have the notification light that doesn't stop blinking after a hangout notification, even if you clear the notification?
Driving me mad.

If it's purple, I know which one you're talking about. To fix it, disable SMS recieved notifications. You'll still get the light when receiving sms from Hangouts.
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.

Hey all,
I'm so used to all the features of Light Flow that I didn't realize how much I depended on it. Since the 3 does not have an LED, I'm looking for an alternative app to manage my notifications. I want to be able to choose the notification sound and the vibration pattern per app.
Light Flow does this but not without requiring a persistent notification. Normally you'd be able to avoid this by installing Light Flow Legacy, but it does not show up in the app store on the Pixel 3.
Does anybody have any recommendations?
Thanks
Go to apk mirror and download light flow legacy that way. Let us know how it goes. I really hate the lack of notification LED, but I'm not willing to go as far as you to customize the vibrations etc.

Already tried this. It doesn't seem be on there.
I've been using Light Manager. It displays customized colored icons on the screen in place of the LED, with AOD turned off. I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would.

Since there is no LED, we have no way of knowing if my phone is charging when plugged in without turning on the screen. Does light manager have a solution for this too?
Yes, it shows a charging icon and the %

I tried it and it looks like the default lock screen prevents the icons from displaying. Do you have your screen set to stay off when new notifications come in or is there something else you changed in either the app or system settings? Sorry for hijacking the thread with all the questions, but this lack of LED makes my phone useless while the screen is off.
Yes I have always on display off, and new notifications off. Double tap and lift for notifications I still have on though.

What other settings do you have? My phone isn't waking up with Light Manager with AOD/new notifications off and double tap/lift for notifications on. I do not have a lock screen enabled nor does it work with lock screen (swipe) enabled.
The "tests" aren't working either.

Does this require you to double-unlock to get to your phone, or is there someway around that?

That got it working. I have to tap the screen once, home/back button then shows, then double tap to get to the home screen.
Yeah I use fingerprint unlock and realize it requires it being done twice. We need a cleaner solution.

A cleaner solution was the $0.03 LED that Google removed from the phone! It shouldn't be this hard to tell if my phone is charging.
If I wanted a useless notification system, I would've purchased an iPhone!
