Screen ON when getting incomming SMS? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.. I find it VERY bad that my screen turns on EVERY time i get incomming SMS/MMS.. Often I have my SGS5 in my pocket.. And it turns on and sometimes starts typing some randow signs when moving around in my pocket..
How on earth can I stop screen from turn ON just because an SMS ???

Use a different SMS app. I recommend either Hello SMS or Textra. These are two of the best apps available and both allow you to set whether you would like an incoming message to turn on your screen or flash LED.

[Q] Best app for Nexus 7 as phone with GV

So I have decided to pick up a Nexus 7 to use as my primary phone. I will be using a T-Mobile hot spot when mobile, and possibly a spare Android phone to throw in my pocket when the tablet just isn't a possibility. I will of course be using Google Voice with an app for calls and SMS. 99.99% of my phone use is just text or data. I am currently using talkatone free, which seems to work ok except the fact there is no notifications for SMS. I have to open the app and "check sms" just to receive them. I want an app that will show a new message notification in the notifications bar. One that would light up the tablet would be ok as well. I have seen there are some other apps, but I don't want to start buying up apps just to find out they still don't do what I am looking for. Any suggestions?
I use Tablet Talk, its well worth the money.

How does it display new messages?
Just like your phone, a notification with your choice of ringtone, and a messaging interface

Keep in mind that Tablet Talk will use your plans minutes and text messages. It simply syncs your phones texts and phone calls to your tablet. If you want to make phone calls going through GV then I would recommend talkatone. Ive used many of the apps that claim to make calls through your gmail account but all have failed, except talkatone. Yes, there is a slight delay but its not that bad. On other apps the delay would be 1min or more which is totally unacceptable. Stick with talkatone, its free and it works. I have been using it for a while now and have noticed quality and delay improvements as it has been updated.
My problem with Talkatone is that I don't get SMS notifications. I have to open the app and "check SMS" every time before it gives me the new ones. I can't seem to find any option in there that would turn on notifications or auto sync. This is annoying as I have to proactively be checking for messages all the time instead of just being notified.
A friend is running the same app on his iPad and when he gets a new SMS message it plays a ring tone and shows an number in the upper right of the app icon showing he has a new message. Mine does neither. Then again he is on premium, is this possibly only a feature of premium? I just have no desire spending $3-5 on apps just to find out they lack this basic feature which kills them.
Well it's not a premium feature as I went premium and it still suffers from the same issue. I don't THINK it's a setting on the N7 itself, as I receive notification for other apps just fine.

[Q] Disabling native messenger notifications while enabling sound

I was wondering if there was a way to just disable notifications. I guess the notifications are tied in with the sound and I like to use ChompSMS but I don't get any sound when I get a text and I realized it's because when you turn notification off in the native messenger, it also turns off the sound. Is there a way around this? I also thought about freezing the messenger app but not sure if that would prevent me from receiving texts all together.
EDIT: I froze the native messenger app but couldn't get texts after that.
EDIT: Apparently it was the ROM I was on. My friend was able to disable it and still get sound to work when he got a notification in Chomp. I changed ROMs and it's working now.

Quiet Mode... no sms popup?

I seem to have noticed that when using "Quiet Mode" that I don't see that text message popup appear on the screen. I checked to make sure I didn't accidentally turn off that popup, so it appears that Quiet Mode for some reason blocks that?
Anyone else notice?
Doesn't quist ignore all notification and calls unless you add specific numbers for it to ignore

That isn't exactly what I mean...
The little popup that drops down from the notification bar when you receive a text message doesn't seem to show when I put the phone in Quiet Mode.
Well yea quiet mode is meant as a do not disturb. .... if you want the notification You can't use quiet mode. Only maybe if you add a specific contact for quiet mode to ignore then maybe you will receive the pop up. ...

Q: phone doesn't ring, then I get voice message notification?

Seems like if I am using the data for Internet or an app then if someone calls it doesn't ring or get logged. Just goes right to voice message. If phone is just idle it seems like I get normal calls and call logging. Anyone else? Any ideas on how to fix? At&t 935f (phone is from Italy).

Have you modified the phone in any way? Disabled or frozen any apps, for example.
Still stock no root. I disabled Gmail only
