Screen comes on when message received

Is there any way to stop the screen turning on when I receive a text, I dont always want to read it straight away and when the screen comes on in my pocket I find i press all sorts of things.
Very annoying.

start - settings - Sounds & Notifications - Notifications (tab at bottom) - select "Messaging: new text message" and unclick box for display message on screen.

Hi,
What about delivery notification ? It's not possible to change notifications about it, and it's always turn the screen on.

thats what i thought i have the box unchecked and the screen still comes on

Hmmm - I think this is a bug in the system because I have heard other people with this problem and I personally have the box checked to see the window but it does not always appear.
A soft reset should correct the behaviour BUT the problem will return.
Try at least the soft reset and you will see the correct behaviour (if only for a while !!)

how annoying is this an issue of tf3d overriding windows settings?

Also interested in dropping the screen wake up upon sms arrival and confirmation text. No need, the sound/vibration is enough.

Tried this, it still wont work.
Anyone had any luck getting rid of this issue?
Ultimately I dont want the screen to wake up unless
a: someone is calling me
or
b: i turn it on
Any ideas?

Try with HD Tweak. I enabled the option in HD Tweak, but found the same issue (I was making calls when the phone was in my pocket and I received a text message). Then, I disabled from the same HD Tweak and it didn't turned on the screen anymore.

Bug in official WM6.5?

Anyone noticed that while weather is in automatic update, and you press the "activitymanager" on the far right top to see what programs are running etc, the today screen freezes. The weather effects stop and the clock will jump back an hour or something and then back again once you leave the "activitymanager" and go back to today screen. Same thing when you press and hold the endcall button to turn keylock on, the weather effects+clock will go wild just before it goes into lock mode. Anyone else seen this??

It's like this even if you don't have automatic weather-update. The 'error' with the clock jump 61 minutes back in time is normal in Sense. Try to click the endcall-button in homescreen - the clock flips and the weather-effect resets

you can turn off Manilla/Sense and ONLY select the Owner Info
Start - Settings - Today - Items (tab), you'll then get it on the Today page. Once set go back to how you like it.

I initially found this problem. You need to go into settings - sounds and notifications - advanced: scroll down to text messages and check the box to sound event.

Another bug (?) I found is that when you have your headset connect and get an incomming call the ringtone only sounds in the headset. So if you have your phone in the pocket you miss the call.
Anyone else with the same irritating problem?

I have the same touchflo-freeze-when-taskman-is-open - bug.
But ... for some reason I like windows' default new todayscreen more then touchflo! It seems way more to the point.

problem with clock / battery icon on taskbar
With WM 6.5, when I check "see clock on all programs" in clock and alarms I see clock on taskbar all the time (home screen). With WM 6.1, it was displayed the battery icon in home screen and the clock only in programs... Anybody knows how change it in WM 6.5? What registry I must change?
Thanks

manila start menu
anyone had any luck with mapping the start button to the manila programs tab on the touchflo.

Are the ppl at HTC aware of these issues or are they Microsoft-related? Has anyone reported the bugs to HTC? Any response?
Its just incredible that they release a ROM where there are so many bugs. They have to be aware of these, I cant believe that they dont...

I found a very strange "bug" ... I guess:
I can't touch the volume keys in sence... up or down key will result in a "services.exe" error and the phone gets really slow.
Anyone???

Yes, I use the excellent TopazKbdControl which can be found in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4722478&postcount=2.
You need to remap the Windows key (or HOME key as it's called) so that on the Click event it performs the action "Run program". Set the program to run as "\Windows\manila.exe", and the arguments as "--switchtopage programs.page" (both without quotes). Works perfectly, no more horrible Windows Start page!

call screen bug?

Just wondering if this is an issue on all phones (rooted or stock)
scenario is as follows:
You're on a call..u receive an sms or want to check ur calendar or email for something relevant to the call etc
u click the home button and go to ur app.
question is; how in the hell do u get back to the existing call?
pressing the call button takes me back to the dialer/contacts/call log screen
there is a green phone icon in the notification bar but when u drag the bar down it is empty
holding the home key gives the call log button but goes to the dialer.
i have a rooted ph running CY 5.0.2
if this has already been posted i apologize. i did try a (quick) search

EDIT:
found this
*ttp://*ww.google.com/support/android/bin/static.py?page=guide.cs&guide=27201&topic=27215&answer=168473
A Hold icon appears in the Status bar to remind you that you have a call on hold. From any other application, you can open the Notifications panel and touch the entry for the call on hold to return to the current call screen.

however when i open the notification panel after navigating while a call is on hold (orange icon) or still active (green icon) the panel shows nothing

You could try a different rom. Or you can try an app like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor&hl=en
It's also a nice way to get your screen even darker.
The only draw back is the status bar notification.

problem solved by turning on power saver mode anyway. but thanks for trying to help me

option B
You can download a hidden menu app from the play store. Then go into the application "engineer mode". There you will find a button to turn the lights for the buttons on & off.

Here are some screenshots of the menu.

cant see notifications on lock screen

So I'm coming from a pixel where I would get my app notifications to wake and show on my lock screen. When I get an email for example, I get the sound and mynlight will blink but my screen doesn't wake up and show anything til I press the power button.
How can I get them to show without having to press the power button??

Yes, I'd like to know how to do this too! Any ideas anyone?
Currently, the best I can see is that my 'always on screen' will show a small icon to indicate there's a new notification (an email icon for example). Though it does not flash or light up. The icon just displays very discreetly so really you have to look for it. I then need to tap the home button, which reveals the 'pin entry screen'... on this screen I tap the 'back' arrow which displays the full notification. So its two tap to reveal notifications without unlocking the phone.
What I really want is to see notifications flash up on my lock screen before I choose to swipe open the app (using PIN etc). For that reason, face recognition also isn't great as the phone opens past the notifications screen the moment you look at it!
Have just moved from an iphone. currently this is the only real con, otherwise amazing upgrade!

Did anyone figure this out?

It isn't probably answering your question, but might help. I don't know if you have set a setting under: settings>display>navigation bar and then check out "unlock with home button", it will at least not require you to press power button, but just a home button. I just press home button and it shows my lock screen and any notifications I may have.
1) So when you set unlock with home button to ON, then your phone will go straight to home screen(if phone isn't locked with a code) when you press this home button.
2) If you turn off that feature, then, when you press home button, then your phone will show lock screen first regardless if your phone is locked or unlocked.

Hi,
I'd also like to have my s8 screen to wake upon receiving notifications (whatsapp messages, emails, etc).
I switch off the AOD feature and would love to see a preview of notifications when i receive them without having to reach out for my phone.
Coming from the iphone, I'm so used to just glance at it and see if its an important message or something that can wait. I find this feature very well executed.
The s8 requires me to manually turn on the screen.
Any info? I'm pretty sure its not hidden somewhere in Settings... Probably can't even do this without root or installing additional apps.
Thanks

I have found an easy solution. Simply download and install this app from the playstore.

I knew there was an app somewhere that will do this! Thank you!

Since the Oreo update I used a similar app called "Screen Notifications" which woke the screen on notification, however no longer works since the update.
Anyone got a work around?
