The IM app seems to be working great. However, is there a way to get an audible signal/tone when I receive a message and the phone has gone to what I guess is standby?
i.e. I'm chatting on AIM. I set the phone down to do something, and come back a few minutes later. I open the phone to find a message stating "A message has been received would you like to open the conversation?" But I never received an audible tone.
Is there a way to make it chime even when the screen is black?
Am I going crazy, or is there no way to stop notifications from waking the screen? Everytime I get any sort of notification, my screen wakes up to display the notification on the lock screen, and then goes back to sleep a second later. I would like to turn this off and it drains battery.

I've noticed this happens to me when I receive an SMS, but nothing else. I don't think this is the default behaviour. Do you have an app installed that maybe does this? LightFlow?
Well I did install Snaplock for a hot second but I've since uninstalled it. Maybe it changed some setting somewhere that I can't find?
Any help for this? It's driving me crazy.

I have tried to find a solution for this, but I haven't been able to. I am guessing it is just unconfigurable behaviour of the Samsung messaging app.
Yep. I installed 8sms and Textra. Both allow you to disable the screen wake. Decided on 8sms for the long haul.
Help
Ok, so I am also irritated by the same issue with the screen waking up every time I get a text. My phone is usually in my pocket, and by trying to take it out to see the text, my camera or dial screen is opened cause I touched it while the screen was on. I have tried downloading Textra, Handcent, and 8sms to use instead, but in every one of those, when I try to send a photo, it fails, and I have dug through all the settings in those apps as well. I can send them on the stock messaging app just fine.
Has anyone found out how to turn the screen wake up off yet, or what am I missing on the other apps that is preventing pictures to send?
The other thing that is bothering me is that in the stock messaging app, it is displaying a call back # on every text I receive. Is there a way to turn this off?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
-Nick
I'm also trying to find the solution to this. G920I with Vodafone Australia.
Did anyone find a resolution to this issue? My phone turns on with every notification, not just sms.
I don't have my phone on me, but check settings > lockscreen and security > Show information or
settings > lockscreen and security > other security settings > notification access
I disabled all lock screen notifications and the screen still turns on randomly. I thought it may have been facebook so I disabled notifications then uninstalled the app with no luck. This problem is very annoying to say the least, when I go for a run I take my phone to stream music etc and can end up taking a few hundred pics of my pocket; lol.
Yeah I've this problem too, samsung didn't include the option to disable it :\
Are you saying there is no way to stop the screen from coming on?
Doesn't look like you can disable it, sadly. Nothing stock in touchwiz that gives that functionality. Or am I wrong? I just searched the entire settings on my phone..

another annoyed user, looking for a solution
The inability to prevent the wake-up is annoying not only because of the instant battery usage, but because when the phone is in pocket it then causes all kinds of mispresses which lead to unintended app openings, changes, and screen staying on much longer. Samsung needs to provide option to disable screen wake on notification.
Samsung we have f#%$*ng RGB LED for notification!
Try the Screen Notifications free app
Try the Screen Notifications free app. I did and meantime it's OK. Looks it may work for the desperate people like we are....

I remember asking about this in a thread a long time. Ago. Good news, (if the other suggested fixes aren't working), I know how to fix this. First, you have to be rooted (naturally). 2nd, install another text app, I just use google's Messenger text app, nice and basic and I like it. Open that app and let it set itself as default or do it manually in settings. That step might not be necessary, but should do it just in case or possibly be left with no text app by accident. Finally, go to system > priv-app > SecMms_Delight-Open > Copy the app which is our stock messaging app and it has the screen wake function built in and paste it somewhere else like a backup folder in the priv-app directory so you know where it goes back to. Delete the app inside the SecMms-Delight-Open directory and reboot. You'll notice the yellow stock messaging app is gone from desktop and app drawer and now when you get a text, no screen wake! :good:
This annoyed me quite a bit because for a living I deliver catering orders and each time I get an order, it sends a text to let me know to check the browser for order info. So I was getting like 12 to 20 texts a day in addition to all the normal texts from friends and family. It was waking a lot!
I wish the build my edge came on was rootable. Sad face for sure. No root, no downgrade, no happy.
My Edge's screen will turn on when I get text messages but when I get emails, it just stays black. I'm using the stock email app and I just can't see why it stays off!
Am I missing something obvious - my wife's S5 turns on for both with no problems at all.
Can anyone help please?
please delete, submitted in the wrong forum!
I searched youtube high and low. But no one actually really shows how the edge works for things like notifications. The main things I want to know is how it looks or acts or works when someone sends a text message. Or in my case more importantly a KIK message. My partner and I use KIK to communicate all the time instead of text messaging. Does it pop up on the edge? Or does it only show at the normal top of the phone needing the whole screen turned on? If it shows up on the edge does it just say new kik message? Or does it show the message from the person?

I have a note edge G version.
To answer your questions YES , you get the message itself on the edge screen because of which i actually disabled the Heads Up display. If i get a message in Whatsapp and say i am in the homescreen, the senders name and the message first few lines only, is shown. This works on most apps but I have noticed that only the first few lines are shown and then a series of periods..
To get message on the edge screen while the phone is locked, you can search RuggedAutoHunter here in the forum. He has developed an app that can show you messages even if the phone is not unlocked. Pretty neat.
Hope it helps.

Thanks, And I clicked the thanks button lol. I'll search that. Is there a way to turn off showing the first few lines of the message? Some times I have to set my phone down in public at a job site and wouldn't want someone walking by while my partner sends me a sensitive message and seeing what she says. I mean I'd still like to see new kik message received or new text message received etc on the edge while the screen is off. But don't want private information to be seen by anyone and everyone lol. Thanks again

That's a question you have to ask RuggedAutoHunter because that would only apply when you have the screen off/phone locked.
OK. I've had this problem on every Android phone I've ever used. Someone sends me a test message. I get a notification. I reply. They reply, BUT I GET NO NOTIFICATION!. Everything is quiet, nothing, nada, no indication that anyone has replied. I have every notification toggle I can see set to the ON position, but still nothing. Am I missing something here? Sometimes I get a text message, and there is NO notification at all. Like I said this happens with every Android device I have ever owned. Can someone clue me in?
open the application message, tap on the points at the top right, go to settings and enable all notifications.
I checked on my mobile.
excuse my bad english.
The first question what someone needs to ask is
Which version you on, stock rom / custom / root (yes - no )
