Screen timeout for messages - Vibrant General

Today I was texting and when I got a text I would grab the phone and try to type but as soon as I got to the phone the screen turned off. seemed like the timing is like a few seconds too short. Is there a way to change this setting? It's not the normal screen timeout. Thanks in advance.
on a side note... has anyone found a way to turn off the battery notifications for low power and fully charged.

Text Messages & TYTN II Wakeup

Hi all,
I've searched high and low for a solution to this and am desperate to have a resolution. My problem is when a text message comes in my phone wakes up and doesn't go back to sleep/standby. I have disabled all notifications when an SMS arrives, but still the phone ignores this and wakes up the screen and doesn't disable it again (quickly draining the battery).
Does anyone have a solution for this? A registry tweak/software package?
Thanks
Why don't you set it up so that when the phone is idle, it turns itself off? THen if you get a text, the phone wakes, but will go back to sleep assuming it is idle.
I do
It already has that setting -- 60 seconds = power off, it seems to not work after an SMS has come in.
I also have the phone in my pocket so it's never "idle" for 60 seconds because it generally touches the screen, etc in the pocket.... but even when on the table the backlight stays on after SMS...
VERY FRUSTRATING
No idea?
It would be enough if the SMS-Income sounds, but no wake!
Once i tried automatic screenlock after wakeup, but this is annoying too.
I'd like to know a trick how to disable wakeup after SMS.
Maybe s2u2 could solve this for you.

Keeping it in standby

Anybody know if there's a way of keeping my Trinity in standby even when a text message comes through - I keep the thing in my pocket and if I don't look at it straight away after a text has come through, all kind of things happen - programs get launched, photos get taken, voice memos are created, just from it moving around in my pocket after un-standbying itself!??
Thanks
Lock the screen and when a text comes no programs will launch!
Nope...
Doesn't work...as soon as a text comes through, everything unlocks - is there anyway to stop this from automatically happening?
Thanks
flight mode

Not so on mine when it is locked it stayes locked! The screen will come on but the machine stays locked.
What mine is doing is when a text comes through, it seems to be causing the device to unlock, because the screen will take touch commands - I need to be able to lock the screen and get it to stay locked even when a text comes through. Any experts out there who might know how to achieve this?
Thanks
What is flight mode anyway?
OK, let me put this another way - is it possible to lock the screen until you press the standby button, so that nothing else unlocks it such as a text message or phonecall?
Thanks
I don't have this problem. My screen is set to go off after 1 minute. When the phone is in standby, all I get is a tone and the orange light flashes. The screen will not come on, unless I press the power button.
No input is accepted when in standby by the screen or any button except the power button - check your settings
I also have it set to auto-lock after 2 hours, so even if I get a text, and turn the screen on, then i need to put the password in before the screen unlocks
i use my m700 the same as you with no problems
RESOLVED!
Managed to put the device lock option on the 'Today' screen and this keeps the whole device locked (screen & all) no matter what happens, until you press the unlock option on the screen. Hooray!

Backlight

Does anyone know if there is a way to make the backlight stay on while charging. And also keep the phone from locking while charging. I think keeping it from locking would allow the alarm clock to actually wake me up, it shuts off when the screen turns off which is quick when its locked
Under power settings > advanced > uncheck both boxes under "On External Power"

The alarm should work when the phone is locked, I use mine this way all week for work just fine.
Ok thanks got the backlight to stay on. But when the alarm is set it only goes off for about five seconds and the sound shuts off and then displays a message

The Snooze/Dismiss message? What do you have set as the alarm? Is it a short tone or something a little longer?
Here's a good tip for using your phone as an alarm clock.
Set your alarm normally.
Go into power mode and uncheck the box to turn off the device after X time when plugged in.
Leave the turn off backlight box checked and set for 2 minutes when plugged in.
Now once you turn the screen on and the phone is plugged in, after 2 minutes the screen will dim way down and stay on all night making it a great alarm clock. I used an automotive cell phone holder to make the perfect cradle for holding it upright and at a perfect viewing angle. After owning a BB Storm, I just couldn't NOT have this capability... you get spoiled.
This works great.

is this normal? screen stays lit ALL THE TIME

OK so whenever I get a text the screen lights up like notification but it won't turn off EVER. Until I check the message.
It's killing my battery. Is this a normal feature?

Disable screen wake on notification

Has anyone found a way to disable screen wake for notifications? Every time I receive a new email or hangout message(Those are the two I've noticed so far) my screen will turn on. Driving me crazy.

+1 on that, driving me crazy also and I can't find any way to turn it off.

Just tested it, I don't have screen wake on notification, neither with power plugged in, nor on battery. Also tried with with always on display, it only adds notification icon, doesn't even change the brightness.
Go into "settings" and turn off all notifications
it's also annoying that the screen lights up when the battery reaches 100% while wirelessly charging,
it lights up the whole bedroom.
This was driving me crazy. Came across 'SMS Popup' app I used years ago and it works like a charm. No more screen lighting up when a message comes in. Disable notifications in stock messaging app and enable in SMS popup. Unselect 'screen on for popup'. I like the popup options better than default messaging app too, you can configure the buttons and even have one that reads the message out loud.
Edit: After further testing, results are very inconsistent. Works great sometimes and not at all others. I have uninstalled and it's back to square one.
