Wake when message received? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Where is the option to have the screen wake when a message is received? Looked throughout the phone but must have missed it.

There's an app to do this but I forgot the name. Try check the AndroidQuestions subreddit

Install Light Manager app. It allows you to customize the notification led. One of the options is to turn the screen on when a notification comes in.

I use handcent and it has an option to disable the screen on when receiving a text. If you install and use it don't forget to disable the stock messaging app.

Actually you shouldn't disable it, I had the stock messaging app disabled and after the last couple of updates from Handcent I had the issues that many had of no notifications and no sound. Enabled the stock messaging app and everything is back to normal. I do however set Handcent to my default messaging app.

Shouldn't it say "Root access granted"?
Dont suppose you use and updated gravity box without a reboot lately have you? I know that can change certain messages to be other text if a reboot hasn't occurred.

No I don't use gravity box. This isn't specific to faux clock. I just took a screenshot when it popped up. It pops up often no matter what app I'm using.

When did it start happening? Are you based in a country that's just changed its time for DST?

its a setting in an app that you have to disable. its your job to find which app is causing it, since you know what apps that you have installed.
Disabling notifications for FauxClock fixed this in my case
Tapatalked via Nexus 5
Pretty sure it was faux clock causing the popup. Maybe a bug in his new beta or the intelli ksm feature.

Interesting. I've been directed here as I have the same issue. Started yesterday. I am going to disable Fauxclock notifications and will report back.
Ah finally, I am getting this as well thanks for the heads up.
It's a beta feature Now FauxClock is out of beta, you should update to production version

have you checked the display settings in the main phone settings?
Like you said it isn't a native option on N5... I've never seen that on this phone before. It has to be Lightflow. That or it's a troll post..? I know iPhones do that...

Yes there is an option in settings menu. Every time I'm over a friends house his iPhone flashes the camera flash whenever he gets a call or text.
Yeah it's there, but it isn't enabled by default. That's what I meant to say.

In light flow there is that option. Its right on the screenshots where you download the app.

Never understood why you would want this feature. I guess because everyone who sits anywhere with a smart phone puts it face down for some reason.....

Brand new nexus5, can't get notification LED to work?

I just got my nexus 5 last night. This isn't my first android device so I unlocked and rooted it.
I installed gravity box and everything, and noticed that my led was not blinking for texts. I tried multiple texting apps and the end result is the same...it does not blink.
Now for the funny part - when I use test notifications within evolveSMS the light blinks, just not when I receive any notifications.
Does anyone have any ideas? The led is checked under display settings. I am on stock 4.4.2, with elementalX kernel.
Thank you!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Hmm does it have to do anything with kernel settings? Have you tried your notification LED before on stock kernel? Was it the same??

I'm actually heading home now to check that out. I haven't heard any issues with elementalX kernel though.
I'll keep you posted. Thank you!

Notification vibration type

Is there any way to set the vibration type for notifications, besides just the intensity?

Are you finding the vibration for text notifications not as strong on the latest update?

I thought it was just me. I couldnt find anything to adjust the vibration for text either.
I use Textra and you can setup up a bunch custom vibrations for messages which you can choose per contact.. It's pretty useful.
