Hey Guys,
I've been searching the web for the following. I like the breathing notification / Active display option from the Nexus 6p. When I receive a message, the black and white screen comes on, displays the notification, I read the message and most of the time when i want to react (when the phone is flat on the table) i'm too late to activate the display, the message is gone already. The time the message is displayed is about 3 to 4 seconds. I wish this could be changed to 6 to 8 seconds so I have more time to read and then touch the screen to go to Whatsapp / Mail / etc.
It's not a big problem, but it's a nice feature that irritates most of the time because of the short timeout.
There is no setting to change the timeout in settings but there must be a file (such as build.prop, couldn't find it there) where you can change this timeout. Does anyone know if this is possible and how? I am still unrooted, but this would be the reason to root / custom rom
Thanks!

After updating the XDA II ROM to 1.60.00WWE, I noticed a problem not present in the old ROM. Sometimes, the red blinking notification light (on the upper right corner) won't go away even after I have already dismissed the message or reminder that triggered the notification. This usually happens when the XDA II displays a reminder while it is locked (password-protected). This also usually happens when I quickly dismiss an SMS notification. Does anyone know what is causing this problem? Is there any work-around (other than disabling the notification light)?
I had noticed this - annoying isn't it? I have not found a workaround yet, and I am working on finding out the exact sequence of events...
I think that what happens is that the XDA triggers notifications in this order:
display
vibrate
sound
flash
If you dismiss the notification before the flash is started - possible because you have a long .wav as sound, the 'turn off' notification is submitted before the flash is activated. This, obviously, causes the flash to occur with no easy mean to turn it off.
We need a desktop plug-in that can turn the flash off as needed.
Sending an SMS and dismissing the sent notification bubble turns off the flash for me.

Hi,
One workaround that I have found is to go the Start -> Settings -> Sound & Notifications -> Notifications. Then close the screen and this would dismiss the blinking notification light.

That's also what I do. But I hope we can have a real bug fix soon.
Is there any way to stop the screen turning on when I receive a text, I dont always want to read it straight away and when the screen comes on in my pocket I find i press all sorts of things.
Very annoying.
start - settings - Sounds & Notifications - Notifications (tab at bottom) - select "Messaging: new text message" and unclick box for display message on screen.
Hi,
What about delivery notification ? It's not possible to change notifications about it, and it's always turn the screen on.

Hmmm - I think this is a bug in the system because I have heard other people with this problem and I personally have the box checked to see the window but it does not always appear.
A soft reset should correct the behaviour BUT the problem will return.
Try at least the soft reset and you will see the correct behaviour (if only for a while !!)
how annoying is this an issue of tf3d overriding windows settings?
Also interested in dropping the screen wake up upon sms arrival and confirmation text. No need, the sound/vibration is enough.

Tried this, it still wont work.
Anyone had any luck getting rid of this issue?
Ultimately I dont want the screen to wake up unless
a: someone is calling me
or
b: i turn it on
Any ideas?
Try with HD Tweak. I enabled the option in HD Tweak, but found the same issue (I was making calls when the phone was in my pocket and I received a text message). Then, I disabled from the same HD Tweak and it didn't turned on the screen anymore.
Hi. I am a novice when it comes to HTC. Have some questions that I need help. When I put the key lock is the entire screen black. Would like to see a clock and date as a screensaver.
How do I change sms sound?
and how to disable the volume buttons?
I hope someone can help me. A very good forum incidentally.
Try S2U2 for your lock. As far as sms, go to settings-> personal->sounds and notifications. Tick notifications at the bottom. On the next screen tick the drop down menu next to "events", choose "new text message" and below choose the sound. Also make sure "Play sound" is checked. I'm not sure how to disable volume buttons...you might try AEbuttons Plus. I believe that's what it's called.
a little more infos on screen lock.. the screen gets completely off because it would drain an infernal amount of battery if it was on displaying some clock like happened, say, in those good old nokias (n70 and the likes). yes, you can install s2u2 which will provide a nicer "unlock screen" with clock and sms notifications and everything but after some idle time (5 minutes max) the screen will turn off anyway.
s2u2 anyway, when enabled, will block the volume buttons.
SOLVED (sounds & notifications settings)
Before when notifications (and most importantly the alarm) went off I am 99 % sure I used to get the popup menu at the bottom of the lock screen with options to either dismiss or pause the alarm. Lately this option on lock screen has now disappeared. Now when the alarm wakes me in the morning I have to unlock the phone, tap the notifications bar on top of the screen to get to the notifications menu and tap the alarm to get to the pop up menu for the chosen notification. If you just want to snooze the alarm, you'll be wide awake by the end of this series of touches.
Do people get the notification popup menu on their lock screens? I sure would like to get this back. Anyone?
PS: I think that this was OK on several occations between my last program install (I think this was updating the cookies home tab to 1.6) and when I first noticed the problem, but I can't really swear on it.
PS2: I have searched to find a thread with this issue, but have just found slightly relating topics (ie in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612775&highlight=notification+lock it seems a guy had to unlock to dismiss but I'm not sure if that was due to password lock. And I did try the "Clean notifications" with pmClean as suggested by post #6. I'm not really sure if this worked though, because it says that the number of notifications are 19 both before and after I apply the cleanup. Does this mean the program doesn't work?)
do you have bsb tweaks installeD? Turn on 'dismiss x notifications' tweak. That reenables the snooze and what not,
also,
settings tab - menu - all settings - sounds & notific - notifications.
call up teh notification you are interested in (new message, for example) and tick 'show on screen'.
Give those a try, see if they help. (Soft reset to make sure teh settings are changed.)
Thanks so much. It was the sounds & notifications settings that did it.
Feeling kind of silly now that it was just a simple setting . But I'm pretty sure I haven't changed it myself so I guess I just assumed it would be something more severe.
Anyhow. PROBLEM SOLVED.
Problem solved! I also forgot that I had already done this before I did a hard reset! Thanks for this post though!
Hi Guys,
I have got the same problem (no dismiss showing up in lock screen), but there is no option for alarms in the Notification Settings. How did you solve it in the end?
Cheers
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.
