Hey fellow Heroes (that's what Hero owners are called, right? )
Does your screen flash for notifications?
In the Sound & Display settings, there's a setting called "Notification flash", subtext "Flash screen for notifications" and you can set for the screen to flash for calls, messages etc.
Now I have all the boxes ticked, but when I get a text messages or email, the screen doesn't flash, only the trackball (for text msgs) or trackball and LED (for emails).
Is it just me or do other people experience this too? Would be nice to see the screen flash and get a quick little text message preview or something.
Thanks for any replies!
No screen flash here either - stock Orange Hero.
wheel
Only the wheel flashes IMHO
So what's that option in settings for then? Nothing? Is this a bug or am I misunderstanding what the option is meant to do?
I have my wheel flashing as soon as some new email or notification arrives. Clearing notifications clears the warning.
Is the screen not a different beast entirely from the trackball / wheel / round spinny thing ?
If the option says Screen Flash then surely we should see the screen flash when its on and a notification happens ?
An option for trackball flashing would be called Trackball Flash.
IMHO
Thanks joemax, that's exactly what I'm talking about!
I'll try again and rephrase my question: You know how when you get a call, an alarm, or a calendar reminder, the screen turns on and shows you the call/alarm clock/calendar screen? I thought that was the notification flash of the screen. So why, even when you turn said setting on, does the screen remain off when you get a text message/email and only the trackball (and LED for email) flash? Is that a bug?

Only the wheel will flash. I've looked into a lot of Android forums for this and all the users report the wheel as flashing but not the screen.
Ok, but do we agree that the screen should light up for messages and emails based on the options in the settings menu?
There is a program that turns the screen on when you get a message, and also one that pops up the text message on screen. If thats any help!

SMS Popup from Market! GET IT! Cracking App!!!!!!
Yes, it's called SMS popup in Market. I'm using it and it works fine for text messages. No popup/notification for email though.
The screen does not flash, it is probably just a mis-translation.
If you go into the 'Notification flash - Flash screen for notifications' settings it lists 6 tickboxes for things like Missed Call and Email etcetera.
Basically think "trackball flash" where the menu is reading "screen flash" and it works, this is the page where you decide which events warrant your trackball flashing a notification.
I leave mine to flash only on Incoming Call, Missed call and SMS.
Having it light up for every work email that comes in is a pain.
The screen does not flash as was configurable on some older HTC Windows Mobile units.
Kind Regards.

Sorry been away, peeps have already named it for you..
You know how if you hover your finger over a picture in the gallery or an item in your calender or an SMS, you'll get a pop up of it?
Well I used to be able to do that to emails and whats app messages in the notification menu. The thing you pull down from the top when you get a notification.
Now I cant see those pop ups with air view.
How did it get disabled?
Pull down your notif bar>long press air view
You'll find a looot of things to tick and untick there

I didnt get it.
What do you mean?
My problem is that before, if I got an email or a whatsapp message, I hover my finger over the notification of the message in the notification pulldown menu, I can see the message.
I already have "information preview" enabled in the Air View menu.
I used to be able to do Air View over notifications like gmailor whatsapp, but now I cant.
You have to enable "information preview" under airview settings.

try to disable magnification gestures under settings > my device > accessibility
Wait you meant that you could use air view for notifications on the pull down bar? I thought it was restricted to only Samsung apps.

Yes I could see pop ups.
So if I got a whatsup message, I hover my finger over it and a pop up window (like in SMS for example) appears with the message. It was very handy.
Same thing for gmail emails.
Suddenly it stopped working.

Meh. I think it was a fluke that it worked. Then it went back to not working.

What was a fluke?
It worked for 4 days.
I even showed it to a friend and he tried it on his S4 in front of me and it worked.
Then suddenly it stopped working.
I've been trying every time I get a notification all day since that day.
Even when it did work, it was sorta random. Sometimes it'd work and sometimes it wouldn't.

Hm. Strange. Perhaps you could try a nandroid backup then factory reset to see if it works again?
no one else had air view for notifications?
No Air View in the standard email app
LastPass was the culprit for me. Disabling it in Accessibility gave me back my Air View in the standard email app. So to any that are having issues with Air View not working it is most certainly an app. First look at anything in Accessibility that is associated with any app that you've added and disable it.
On 4.2.2 MGA (and older chrome version) airview worked as mouseover, it was SOOO good popup menus etc.
It didn't work all the time though.
Had random occurrences too when it's worked in other non samsung apps like WhatsApp like you said. Also when I used a remote desktop I could move the Windows pointer around without even touching the screen! But I've searched and searched and no one seems to have a definite answer how and why!!

Hi,
Same here! I was on 4.2.2 stock on my S4 GT-i9505 for about a year, i used to preview Facebook comments, Whatsapp messages just hovering my finger and a pop-up showed the entire message. But since I upgraded to 4.4.2 , i missed that!
Anyone solved this?! :good:
edit: remember that on 4.2.2 i could preview the messages only if i pull down the notifications with the SCREEN LOCKED (slide to unlock) and then hovering my finger.

Hey fellas! I just recorded a video showing that feature on Facebook notification in S4 Wanamlite Kit Kat ROM. But for some reason it shows for a few mili-seconds. browse on youtube for "air view hovering facebook notifications"
So, thats possible to expand notifications just hovering the finger. Just need a fix to pop-up remains for a long time!
Anyone?! :good:

Air Gestures will let you navigate by waving your hand. Instead of swiping your finger from picture to picture in your gallery, you can wave your hand instead. You can even answer your phone without picking it up. You will find quick on/off toggles for both Air View and Air Gestures in your notification pull down, but you might need to fine tune the settings a little. Just hit the break for our video showing you how to set them up and how to use them.

I bought an LG G2 yesterday after changing my mind and not buying a Note 3 instead. It's the T-Mobile version in black (fingerprint magnet, no white ones in stock unfortunately). I'm coming from a Galaxy S2, and everything feels amazing compared to it. There's one thing I don't like, and that I can't figure out... When I get a text on my LG G2, the screen lights up, every single time. I'm a pretty heavy text user, and I average about 10,000 texts a month. Sometimes I'm in a lecture and I can't text back or use my phone, but it's sitting in my pocket with the screen on wasting my battery and opening up all kinds of apps. How do I disable this? Thanks.
I know you can change text apps that have this option.

If you are using the stock TXT app. Open the App/hit button for the menu, then settings/notifications. you should be able to do what you want there.

That's what I tried, but there's nothing about the screen in there.
I have notifications enabled, new message pop-up enabled, preview enabled, notification sound (text ringtone), vibrate set to always, and repeat alert set to every 2 minutes. Besides those settings, there's nothing, and none of them control the screen unfortunately.

Cant you just on click "notifications display message notification" ??
I'm using the app SMS pop-up to manage all my SMS notification.
The stock app has it's notifications all turned off.
As for SMS popup, there is a setting to keep the screen off when SMS is received.
Well.. I don't like the screen to turn on as well (I don't use any lock screens) and also, I like the pop up feature.

It's just a check box, so if I uncheck that box, I don't get any notifications.

Although that's not the optimal solution, I guess it'll have to do. I'll try that right now, thank you for your help.
I'm using the native messaging app and cant figure out how to turn on the message notification during a call. Is this not a feature of Marshmallow?

I have the same issue. It's annoying the piss out of me. I'm coming from an HTC7 so maybe that just spoiled me?
Any of the custom Roms have this option?

go into your settings>sounds and notification >interruptions. Here you can edit what notification will interrupt you while being on a call. (Copied from a thread on XDA )
OR
Use tasker. Make a profile that makes a short vibration upon receiving a notification. You could use a sound instead of vibrate.
Unless im overlooking it, there is no interruptions option under settings > sounds and notification.
From what I can tell "interruptions" was replaced with "Do Not Disturb".
I'll have a look at tasker.
When I'm using my phone, a call comes in it takes up the entire screen and I can't do anything but accept or reject the call. My wife's v20 alerts her to a call on the second screen and doesn't interfere with whatever she is doing. How can i me mine do that as well?
Did u turn on the second screen?

Sorry I should of mentioned the rom it's a VS995 running NotSoStock.
I found the second screen option under dialer. It was already set to second screen, I set it to something else and then back to second screen but it still doesn't seem to be using the second screen. Any ideas?

It's possible that the Verizon caller ID app is running interference on this. Try disabling it (unless you pay for this service).

Im having the same issue with H990DS with stock rom & mk2000 kernel.
Have you managed to fix this?
I ran stock most of the time on my V20 and all of my calls would pop up on the second screen like you describe your wife's phone doing. I always assumed it was enabled with second screen or by default
I know that you already posted that you don't have this option but I thought I'd post some screenshots of what it looks like on mine (H990DS). I put the screenshots in the order that they come in. Mostly in case this helps someone else out with this issue.
