Hi, is it just me or does this happen for everyone else? When my wrist is by my side, I get a notification but the screen only turns on for a fraction of a second then turns off. If my watch is in the position where I'm looking to see the time (but screen is off or timed out) the notification turns the screen on and the screen stays on. Is this a bug or a "feature"?
Thanks
my issue is the stock messages app stops sending notifications to the watch. Only a factory reset of the phone fixes the issue and I am not doing that again.

No, I can't say I have that problem. Which wrist do you have it on?

My left, although it shouldn't make any difference.

I think mine turns on for more than a fraction of a second. I can usually BRIEFLY see the message. But if I really want a view of it, I do have to make the wrist-twist effort or press the Home Button.

I have the setting to flash the screen on for a few seconds when i get a text so i can see it pop on while sitting on my desk at work, but i had a question. If the phone is in my pocket, do the light sensors acknowledge that its covered up, and disable it from turning on?

the only way you can test this is to put it on a desk face down, send it a text and see if some light seeps out from the sides...that or wear a pair of white gym shorts and see if it lights up
i'm guessing no, because no other phone does, but you could always edit your db file if you really don't want it too - simple boolean logic should be able to tell it what to do (this is ofcourse if your phone is rooted)
can you tell me how you set it to flash a couple seconds when you get a text? exactly? thank you.

I am using chompSMS and in the notifications settings for that app it has an option to turn the screen on for 3-4 seconds when you get a text. its useful at work when its sitting on my desk
use handcent sms and it will solve all your issues.
Hi guys
I have a question:
Anyone's knows if it could be possible (with or without root) to switch on second screen only if there are notifications?
Basically I'd like to have second screen ON, only if there is a notification. Many times I have them and I like it to check but the majority of the time I haven't any and I don't care to look at the time,i have a watch! Ahahahah
Thanks for help
I just put a . in and saved, then when you get a message or notification it'll show.

Not much battery without text, put the phone face down, I do that over night, once in a while you check if there are notifications
Thank but for the night I have a shortcut that switch off second screen.
I'd like a feature that turns on second screen only if comes notification
I guess maybe only with root

Well, as the title says, everytime I pick up my phone I feel a little vibration (and no, I don't have the "smart alert" thing turned on). I tried not to be worried about it but I can't not notice it. Any ideas?

I get this too if I have missed calls. I turned off the settings in phone app and it still does it.

May be you guys should try turning off the setting and restart, if that doesnt solve the problem go to recovery mode and clear cache. Let us know if any of that works.
On a side note: I have been facing weird ass issues with this phone just today my phone wont go to mute by using volume key while receiving a call. Like someone calls you and your phone is ringing, you just want to silence the ringtone you can use volume key (Press once), Flip the phone or put your palm over it (If you have the settings on). I tried multiple restarts and switched on and off the settings many times. It was fixed when i restarted my phone to download mode (This happened by mistake i wanted to go to recovery) anyhow that fixed it.

^^ This, it's the "Smart Alert" setting, to inform you you have an unread notification waiting

Did you follow the steps i suggested ?
Also try clearing system cache in the boot menu.
If that doesn't get it, modify the appropriate notification setting, lol.
That can be a daunting task but sort of fun because you can streamline your notification settings as you do so.

There are apps that log notifications so you can just check the log and quickly determine what is causing the notification even if nothing is showing on-screen

If they catch it. Consider which sensors and operation triggers it, cause and effect, to narrow it down.
Playing with Android is fun... Android witch hunts are how you really learn about Android's gooey layer tricks.
Google searches on older Notes and parallel Samsung models can turn up answers many times.
This model is too recent; so not near as much online troubleshooting info. Google searches encompass threads on this forum as well so it can be a good way to find the needle in the Android stack. Do not time limit searches.
On my 10+ with it's baffling bt poor audio I found the answer with something written about the N9.
Many of these issues are long standing.
Samsung finally fixed the bt settings issue in a Wearables update. That took years.
Only persistence is omnipotent...
I figured that out by chance..
It's the edge-compass app
Just delete it from edge apps and it'll go away.. cheers

Well, I've checked all that and nothing, I don't even have the compass edge panel. But I think I'm able to replicate the issue, it mostly happens when my phone is face down on a surface and I pick it up and turn it to me, I don't have a case on it yet and I'm starting to think that it might have something to do with the edge screen but so far no luck
Use good lock. It has a module to detect vibrations and tell you what they are
Nice catch

Yeah, I installed it yesterday. But no vibrations are registered there so honestly I don't even know what to think now.
On the other hand when I switched from my note 10 plus I used smart switch, and now I'm thinking I should do a fresh start on my n20U.

Exactly check if you have Notistar from good lock switched on. That cache might need clearing.
I just go with it lol. I'm nutz. I'll feel my **** vibrate in my pocket when its sitting on the table. So I don't pay much mind to phantom vibrations. ???

It does suck some battery life though. It's one of the features I disable on my 10+ mostly because I find it annoying.
It's cool though how much you can customize notification behavior; one of the biggest reasons to go with Samsung is customization.
I play around with Settings a lot.. never crashed a load doing it. It's just occasionally gets time consuming to sort it out.
When my phone is locked and the screen is off, notifications don't wake it up. The phone vibrates, the led lights up but the screen remains black. Does anyone have the same issue and know how to fix?
Thanks!

There should be a setting for allowing the Notifications to wake up the display. I think that is disabled on your ROM, so try looking for it and turning it ON.

You're right. I can't believe I spent so much time go through all the settings, even turn on Develop but have never noticed this option under Lock screen. Thanks!
