s6 stock message notifications - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i get a notification sound for my 1st message but when i in the conversation , it doesn't play a sound for each message after that as long as i am on the active conversation window.
is there a ways to have the s6 play the notification sound for every new message received i cant seem to locate this option.

good question. I'm actually wondering the same thing. If you have text messaging app active, then you get no sound notification at all when new texts come in. Very annoying especially when your screen is off.
Anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks.

yes , I hope a fix will comes soon , I thought there used to be an option for it

just a bump , anyone know if a way or workaround for this yet ?

I would recommend going into the stock recovery and manually wipe the phone. Before that try to wipe the cache partition first, that usual resolves issues with applications.

No its not just my device as my friend on lollipop 5.0 s5 also has the same issue. it has be somthing else like on KitKat it used to have an option to notify for every new message however I can't find that option in Lollipop

No more sms notifications!

The name of the thread says it all, i'm not getting any more notification for the sms i get.
No sound, no icon in the notification bar, nothing...
I'm just able to see that i have a new message because i set Handcent to display the number of unread sms on the Launcher Pro dock.
Yes, i have checked all the settings, yes, i have tried other application, yes i have tried to change my rom (tried the stock 2.3.4 , reseted it, didn't work, so i installed the CM 7.1 RC...).
It's kind of annoying, i have to wake up the phone now to check the new sms, it's killing the fun!
Anyone has had the same problem? Anyone knows what could have caused it? I didn't change anything at all, it started with no reason.
FYI i'm french, living in france, Nexus S i9023, and getting pissed off because of that thing XD
Thanks for you help guys!
Come on mates, don't tell me i'm the only one having this issue???
Even on the french forums nobody's ever had it, i can't have that much bad luck! XD
ok, one more try.
My provider kept the phone for one month trying to fix the problem, which they did by "updating the software"... bulls**t as it was already the latest version of anything available on my phone. The problem is still here, i can't get any notification for my SMS!!
The thing is, while they had my phone repaired, i used my old HTC Hero... And i got the same trouble! It seems the problem is my google account! BUT i tried with a new adress i created just to check it out... And i had the same problem...
To be honest, i'm fed up having to wake up the phone to check the sms!
I can't find a reason why my notifications are off now!
I tried a non-android phone (samsung player one) and i got all the notifications!
It's driving me crazy, does anyone have a clue???
i had the same issue ever since I bought my Nexus S but the setting for vibrating when you receive a text message is in the Messaging app after you press the menu key and go into settings
Messaging App --> Menu Key --> Settings --> Notification Settings
Hope this helps!!
Helped on JB4.1.2 by turning SMS notification off (yes, it was on by default, but no Notification) and then on again after exiting the sms app.
I had the same problem...
fullwiped, reflashed gapps, worked again.
If you're not willing to wipe, I remember that Go SMS was the only sms.apk able to notify me of incomming text at the time. You may give it a try

with android 4.1.2 this problem is solved

[Q] [5.0.1] What the hell can I do about the volume settings?

I've recently sideloaded 5.0.1 and just found out this morning how annoying the volume controls are. There is literally no way to receive notifications without a vibration or text tone. I want to be able to keep my phone on silent and still receive notifications like I did in 4.4.4. Are there any ROMs or anything that will help me do this?
What was Google thinking really..

Its the same as pre-Lollipop, just a couple things renamed and a bunch of extra stuff added. Read the whole thing here: A Guide to Lollipop Notification Settings

You have to options. Quite a few toggle widget apps still let silent mode be enabled. Or flash cataclysm rom as this also has silent mode plus other good additions to stock rom

Cataclysm has a proper silent mode if you need it. Personally I think the standard system is fine, you just need to adjust.

[Nougat] Answer incoming call without open it in full screen

Hi
Since I flashed the Nougat update, I have a problem with the incoming call popup.
When I receive a call while using another app, and I answer the call, it opens in full screen.
I want it to be like it was on Marshmallow. (keep the call in the popup)
Is there any way to fix it?
Thx.
try with double tap on the multitask icon.
It's no good enough.
What if I'm watching a video or playing a game?
Instead of moving to the call activity -> turn on the speaker -> go back to the privious app, I want to keep the call in the small popup like it was before.
call on pop-up dialog box seems to have been removed since update.
The phone answering issue was the first thing I noticed with the Nougat update.
I loved that feature, I can't believe they got rid of it.
But yet the messenger is still like that.
Are we sure that there is no way to get that feature back?
I have been looking everywhere for a fix to this problem. I loved that I could play, browse or do anything without an incoming call interrupting me.
Is there really no way of changing it back?
At the very least, I hope that they bring it back on another update.
Hoping there's a fix. I don't always want to answer the phone when I'm doing something. It was easy to ignore the call before, but now it pops up full screen and when I decline the call it locks my screen.
I had been looking everywhere for this setting thinking it was reverted. Now I know it was just removed. I hope they patch it back in.

Stock Messaging app notifications dismissed automatically

Anyone else have this issue? When receiving an SMS message, I will get the pop up notification and sound, but then the notification will disappear as if it has been dismissed. The message will still be unread in the Messaging app, but there will be no notification either on the phone or on my Android Wear device. Strange.
Same here. Anybody find a fix? Driving me crazy
There's an option in settings to check notification access.. probably you can review the applications there or check the notification settings for messages app.. Maybe an alternate messages app is overriding it

I haven't found anything amiss in the notification settings.
My hangouts won't notify me like it used to (on Silent, but with LED), and I've been missing text messages/gmail as well. When I turn on the lockscreen voila! all the crap you've missed. I've flipped every setting known to man. Cleared my cache from recovery. In my frustration, it seems like the only thing left is to drop this brick out the window and get something that isn't messed up by the carrier every other firmware.
Nougat sucks for me. I had to download a samsung theme, to replace the crap they did with it. I am honestly surprised that there are so few people complaining.
Strange. I never have issues with Hangouts. It's only the Samsung Messages app that self-dismisses notifications. I've tried just using Google's Android Messages or whatever they are calling it these days and I actually like it better. Unfortunately, I frequently utilize WiFi Calling/SMS and Digits for a second line and the stock Samsung app is the only text messaging I've found app that does both. This T-Mobile integration is the same reason I switched back to Samsung from my Xperia XZ and why my next phone will probably be Samsung again unless theses features ever become usable on an unlocked phone.
Okay, slightly different problem, but weird and perplexing. Running U firmware on an AT&T A. Stock Email app on mobile data only will show a badge notification for new mail, but no notification sound or light flashing. On WIFI everything works as it should. On AT&T firmware it works fine as well either way. Hmm...

Notification repetition

Hello people, I am on Op6 and this is an issue I really find irritating. I know this is built into system but was wondering of there is any way to get rid of. The thing i am talking about is receiving the same notification again and again after ignoring it. For example I am using whatsapp and have a message from a specific person whom i choose to ignore so I swipe the message away and its gone but again if i get a message from another person the same previous message pops up again. This happens overall in all messaging apps for me. This is really irritating because whenever i get a message all the previous ignored messages no matter how old popup as notification again. Any fix or help will be appreciated.
