Hi, i just flashed my phone with MIUI, and now my screen doesnt turn on when i receive a notification.
Has this happened to anyone?
It happens to me with Oxygen too.
It's the application that controls whether the screens is turns on.
Have you tried a different application? Handcent? GoSMS?
Hello folks,
Since upgrading to the S4 from my S4, I seem to be having a very odd and annoying issue.
I normally have Touchdown which I use for email set to notify via sound and light only, however when I set my GS4 to vibration mode, and despite not changing my touchdown settings, the phone vibrates for new emails.
My research has shown that yes, you can disable vibration altogether (system wide) to avoid this but I want to know if there is a way to ONLY get Touchdown not to vibrate on new email when the phone is set to vibration mode.
Thanks for your input!
Bump!

I just got an upgrade to my Sprint S3 to 4.3. Now I have this problem. Did you discover a solution?
More info: currently, my email notifications in Touchdown are set to custom sound and vibrate off. When the phone is in normal sound, I don't get a vibration and get my custom sound. When the phone is in vibrate, then I get a vibrate notification for my email. I suspect that there is a way to do this via "Blocking Mode", but I don't want to put the phone in and out of that every time I turn on vibrate.
Thanks.

Nope.
Pretty sure it's a system wide thing in Android as it seems to apply to other apps as well.
Which sucks.
That does indeed suck. I'm going to try using "Blocking Mode", but it's still a bit more universal that I want.
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.
Just upgraded to Nougat and noticed that pop-up notifications was turned bank on. When you go into notification settings the option to disable them is missing. Does anyone know how to disable them now?
I am running stock with a locked bootloader.
this is driving me nuts. even if you disable notifications in any sms app, the phone wakes. somewhere that has to be a place to turn it off...
No one has any ideas?
same here, any solution?
Is anyone else having their phone do a random vibrate like a notification came in, but you don't see anything showing up as coming in to have it do that?
Advanced Features->Smart Alert is causing it. It will vibrate upon pickup detection if you have a missed call or unread message.
I've been experiencing the same problem on my S8+ and it's driving me crazy. Notification reminder, smart alert and all these other features are off. Really don't know what to do, I'm guess it's a hardware issue.

Do you have Bixby disabled? It was happening to me when I hit the Bixby button with Hello Bixby disabled.

Hmm, ok. I just turned it Off. It was happening while the phone was already in my hand and I'd be doing other stuff. No calls or msgs were coming in when it happened though. Will see if this stops it.
Settings -> Accessibility -> Notification Reminder -> Turn Off
Hope that works. If not I remember back in my S6 days there was a menu in accessibility also for one of the categories where it had heptic feedback for sounds and everytime there was movement or sound it would vibrate. I cant find it though

Same here, I doubt that it's related to notification reminder. I had it turned off since I bought the phone.
If there is nothing happening (messages coming etc.) I think the vibration might come from the false haptic feedback in home button. Mine does it quite regularly and it is starting to drive me crazy. I hope it is software issue as the DOA isn't available anymore and I don't want to give it for the repair just yet.
My Phone also vibrates when my finger is near the fingerprint sensor and cant read it

Is your bluetooth connected to anything? Once your phone's bluetooth disconnects from the other device, the phone vibrates
I have the same issue. It makes me crazy ! Samsung - any ideas?
Same here. I'm going nuts if nobody knows a solution.
That's since S4 days, people.
Mine does it too while I'm holding it. No notification on the status bar. It will just vibrate by itself.
My S4 never did that and that doesn't mean we should be fine with it.
It happens to me with the home button, the vibration isnt reliable and it sometimes vibrated 3 times.

So I uninstalled an app called Samsung Pay, then my phone just stopped getting the random vibrating.

It is the Edge Panel. I had to turn off the Edge Panel to stop the vibration. Or you can go to settings and turn off the vibration for activating the Edge Panel. What happens is when you hold your phone, your palms sometimes activate the edge panel.
Since we are at it , while am driving and having the phone between my legs it turns on by itself. no vibration or anything. Anyone with similar issues?
P.S No notifications whatsoever. System or Internet based.
