Everytime I receive a text message the phone rings and vibrate but the screen does not turn on to show the message or anything. I don't listen/feel the phone all of the time and I don't notice messages untill I turn on the phone manually to call someone. Is there a way to turn the screen on everytime a text message arrives?
Get handcent SMS it has a pop up feature that will turn on the screen when you get a message.

It worked! I had to disable all the notifications from Handcent because I was getting 2 sms rings. It's working flawless now. Thanks a lot
if you just want the pop up feature with out having a whole new sms app, try pop up sms too. choice choice choice.

have you tried going to sounds and notifications and turning on vibrate for palm sms...start-->settings (personal) -->sounds and notification-->notification-->select the one for the sms threaded text and then select vibrate.
let me know if this helps
i selected vibrate and it still doesnt vibrate.
try this
try going to start->setting->sounds¬ifications->make sure the programs and notifications(alarms, reminders) are checked off.
I cant get mine to STOP vibrating on the SMS. It also makes the noise i chose, but vibrates first. now thats annoying!
Did you do the hack to turn off your LEDs? That also stops vibration. Is it just with SMS or with all vibration?
My legend is running froyo and I have an issue with the sound notifications when I receive texts.
I do not want sounds when I receive a text. So I went to settings in the messaging app and disabled sounds. But I still continue to get sounds. I've had to mute notifications for now. I am not able to turn off vibration either.
It's like its linked to the main notification settings.
Help please ?

Okay i managed to fix that issue.
notifications working as i choose them to now.
But one thing still bothers.
i have a prepaid connection. my service provider sends me my remaining credit notifications after every text i send.
and i receive those messages with a sound, which is dependant upon the ringtone volume i think.
any way to turn THAT sound off?
I looked everywhere for this and haven't seen anything.
If I set the entire phone to vibrate mode, incoming SMS won't vibrate.
Phone calls, email, all vibrate. SMS does not.
They only way I can get incoming SMS to vibrate is by setting SMS to "Also vibrate when notified"
The problem with this: Then SMS vibrates all the time, where phone is in vibrate or has sound on.
How do I set the SMS to only vibrate when the phone is set to vibrate?
I haven't found a way to do what you are requesting as of yet. Google took this away with the JB update I believe. However CM has an option in setting called profiles that will do this for you when properly set up. If you find something let us know I'd be interested.

There has to be some way around this, without the need to use a 3rd party sms app. I like the stock messaging app, but don't care for no vibration or vibrate all the time.
I also have an issue where the screen doesn't actually come on when sms is received, but I see a number of people on Sprint have that problem.
If I can find anything, I will post back. Hope to check some more tonight when I get off work.
Wondering if there is a setting or app that I haven't find that will either turn on the screen, or give me an audible sound when i receive a text message while I'm on the phone. I actually am on the phone about 4 hours a day, with no notification I reply to text messages later than I would like.
Thanks for the help!
Anybody?
Just started doing this a little while ago but whenever I recieve a text it will send me multiple alerts for it. I can literally reply to the text lock my phone and it will send me an alert for the last message someone else sent me I swipe it away and then it goes off again for the message I just replied. Why do i need an alert for my own message i typed it why would I need an alert to see that? I tried looking through all the setting and short of turning notifications off all together I cant find how to get rid of this repeat pop ups. Someone please make me feel dumb and show me how to turn this off.
Thanks in advance.
