Screen turns on with messages/allerts but I wish it didn't

Hi,
I tried to search the older threads but it couldn't find anything.
Could someone tell me how I could stop my phone to turn on when I get a new message or a reminder? And how can I turn off the screen when listening to mp3's on media player?
Thanks!
"I could stop my phone to turn on when I get a new message or a reminder" <-- this is a bit difficult, but tell us your concern and there may be ways around the problem.
Media player, on the playing screen,
Menu -> Options -> Buttons[Tab] -> Toggle Screen
Assign a button for Toggle screen to switch it off.
I mean when my phone is in my pocket and it reminds me of an appointment or an incoming message the screen turns on. I would like the screen remain off and just get an audio warning.
In events and notifications .. have you tried to set the alert to audio notifications .. and dont select the other visible options .. Will that be sufficient?
I agree
Has anyone figured out how to prevent the screen from turning on. I place it in my pocket (with Device Lock) and an event/notification turns the screen on but I have it set off.
Is there some master switch to say only turn screen on with the button push?
Yessir-
Go to Settings->Sounds And Notifications -> after selecting the triggger you want (new email, sms, mms, etc.) then untick the box that says 'display on screen' or something like that. Then the noise will sound, light goes amber, and vibrate still work, but wont trigger the screen to turn on in order to display the message. I use this method for emails, but let sms show up on screen so I can read them w/o going into palm messaging app...

Phone on silent??

I currently have the following mods:
-HTC Home
-Battery Status
-Total Commander
-Some Registry Edits
-Deleted all the T-Mob Add-Ons
-Palm Threaded SMS
How do I put the phone on COMPLETE silence. As in it doesn't vibrate at all. In the HTC Home Phone profile thing, I chose Silence All but it still vibrates when I get a text message when I am in the Palm Threaded SMS program. Anyone know how to fix this? I even went to the system Notification and turned off vibrate for the palm text message and the New Text message feature.
I had problems using SPB phone suite ... where whenever I used the "profiles" on the SPB software, it would screw up my settings. It seems that it would change the settings with API calls or something, and sometimes the phone would screw up or lag or something, so it wouldn't completely change all the settings? It would turn off sound, but not turn on vibrate... I don't know... it just wasn't working.
I just completely turned off the profiles aspect of it and I just change it the old school way (with the volume slider on the side)

New SMS notification settings thru MANILA

Everytime I try to edit new sms notifications ettings thru manila, I get a weird behaviour
- when notification page shows-up the new sms switch turns off automatically and I have to turn it on manually
- if I tap on new sms, and I do nothing (so I leave vibration to off and no change to alert sound) and then I close, the news sms switch goes back to off
it looks like the new sms switch is linked to the vibration setting rather than being indipendent

HTC 8525 notification profiles?

Hi all,
I have a question about the AT&T 8525. I already know how to set the notifications for the incoming calls and text messages using the Sound & Notification function. However, if I want to quickly change from sound notification to vibrate notification, e.g. when in a meeting, I have to go to that function again and change vibration to each events. I also know a quicker way to do is tap the volume icon and change the state to vibrate.
The question is whether there is a possible to create profiles for some occasions, such as outside, meeting, silence..., in which I can set the notifications for the events separately, and map that function to a button so that I can immediately change the profile by pressing that button rather than tap this and that, just like the way it can be done with the iPhone or V3i, for example.
Thank you very much all you guys.
PS: I'm using Tai_Sw's ROM - Manila2D 21893 Black 3G

[Q] epic will not vibrate w/ new texts

when i have my phone on vibrate it does so with calls but not on texts even though i turned on the option under the settings for texts. i also tried audiomanager which doesnt seem to work either.
anyone else having this problem and is there a way to fix it?
Annoying as it is, the vibrate for incoming texts is controlled separately from the ringer volume. Meaning that if you turn on vibrate, it will always vibrate even if your phone isn't set to vibrate.
Menu -> Settings -> Vibrate from the text thread list.
My solution is to use the Tasker app to vibrate the phone when I receive a text on the condition that variable %SILENT = vibrate.
What I'm trying to say is that even when I go to settings and vibrate under text menu it doesn't vibrate on texts. I may give that app a try.

I started having this problem a few days ago and just solved it. I'm using Handcent for SMS, and even though my phone was set to vibrate, and Handcent notifications were set to vibrate, suddenly all of my notifications (Handcent and otherwise) stopped vibrating. Vibrate still worked on calls. I simply downloaded the free app "Sound Manager" from the Market and went to Vibrate from the Menu. For some reason Vibrate for Notifications was set to "Never". Not sure how, since I don't think there's a setting for this in the stock settings on the Epic, but I changed it and now vibrate works on all notifications again.
To me this is easier than setting something up in Tasker (though Tasker is way cool).
Sweet! Thanks so much its finally working now...
