Prevent screen wake up on notifications

Hi there!
I'm looking for an app that have the ability to prevent screen wake up when notifications arrive, but I also want the option to select which app that are allowed to wake the screen (like Hello or incoming call).
Does such app exist?

I tested this app, but the screen still turn on. I thought it was Light Flow that caused this behavior, so I deactivated it and rebooted the device. Same problem.

Check notification history? Deactivate?

if your device use 4.0+ android, then you go to settings, and manage apps, then click on aplication that you want to disable notification, and disable it. :/ I dont know any other way.

But if I disable notification for an app, it will not push the notification in any form.
Thanks anyways!

Is there a way to prevent screen from waking up for an incoming call while in pocket?
My phone's screen wakes up inside my pocket and registers touches inside and receives calls without me even knowing. This problem is getting out of hands. Already tried the app 'Gravity Screen' and the closest setting I could get to is, screen WILL wake for an incoming call whether the proximity sensor is covered or not (phone's in pocket or not) and will only turn off screen if I uncover the sensor and cover it again.
Please help, experts.
N.b.: my device of rooted so any rooted method will also be appreciated
TIA

Why do I stop getting texts on my S2 randomly?

I go through this multiple times a day where out of the blue I'll get a text and it won't forward to my S2. It's really annoying, I have the notification enabled in the settings and it's connected etc. Just randomly stops.

Are you looking at your phone? I've noticed that when looking at my phone and not answering the text I still don't get it. My phone screen has to be turned off

Nope, screen is off. It also only seems to happen when my wife texts me.

Anyone? This only happens with one of my contacts.

Same thing happens to me. When it does, a reboot of the watch fixes it, but shouldn't have to do that.

Screen Lights Effects not working properly...

Hi, i am using the Chinese version of the Find X2 pro and I just can't seem to get the it to work for notifications.
It works just fine when I get calls, but it doesn't do anything when I receive messages from like WhatsApp or WeChat etc.

Same here. Never noticed this working on mine either now you mention it. China spec in UK also.

Doesn't work with global rom in UK either! I use True Edge from google play store, but even that is hit and miss (and it's not brilliant on the battery). Not sure why a company who doesn't include a notification LED doesn't do more for other methods of notifying.

No problems here in Holland
No chinees version

Bizarre (seems to be the buzz word for this phone). I got mine from Netherlands, and running EU rom, but they don't work for me.

Anyone got these Lock Screen Notifications working?
I've got the settings and it works lighting up, but only once, then it just stops which sort of defeats the object ?

It's only lighting up once or twice. Don't expect more. It's ok like that. If you want more then install from playstore. There a couple of apps which has similar settings for incoming messages calls, etc.

Can I ask you which update you have now , mine received update once only and may security until now

Yeah same issue here. Always On display is the only workaround I can think of.
With no LED they need a way to let you know of missed calls and text messages..
Can anyone recommend an alternative app?

I've tried:
True Edge
Always on Edge
Always on AMOLED
Notify Edge
All are *huge* battery suckers
Currently using Notify Buddy by Xander Apps. Seems to be the best for battery useage and lights up a circle (which is an absolute PITA to position). I have it perpendicular to the camera punch on right of screen. Works for *most* apps but not all.
Don't agree with the comment about notification only lighting once or twice is useful. We have notification sounds for that!

I think this is more if you are away from your phone or it's on silent. You want to be able to glance at your phone and know if there is something important pending. (like a missed call). At this point in time without Always on Display there is no way to do this.
Thanks for the app recommendation

I did try NotifyBuddy though didnt work for me.. No LED coming up.

i think always on display is the best option. at least it's a factory app designed to be run all the time.
For anyone not sure it's called "Screen off Clock" in the Oppo settings.

Took an age for me to "find" the LED on screen. Had to manually position and then use the overly-sensitive pseudo mouse to eventually find it. Move it a millimetre and it's gone again!

Similar issue on my UK purchased device, just over a month now, one update since purchase - CPH2025CPW_11_A.24 (still on June security patch!!)
Initially screen light effect for lock screen notifications worked but in the last few days has stopped lighting up for messages. Works fine for incoming calls though...

Phone vibrates when I pick it up.

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.

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.

Question How to connect without calls going through it

I like to connect for emails, texts, and apps, but do not want voice calls going through watch. This is the first time I've had this happen, and hate it. I don't see anything in settings for phone or watch to eliminate this without disconnecting watch from phone. Help please

Thanks, I'll try that. Although it seems like more than a notification when the actual call goes there

I'd say it'll work

I had the same issue. Just figured out the solution: Go to the bluetooth settings of your phone and disable call functions for your watch 4.

Thanks. I never would have found that. In several years with a Samsung watch, this is the first time I've had this happen
