I'm not sure it's a problem with your phone, I think it's meant to do that . I don't know if there's a mod out there to stop it though...

It's definitely meant to do that

damn then i have to hope that a mod will be released

Turn the phone off?
I think you should request a dev to do that as I think it will never be made as your phone should really do that. I'm not sure if there's even a phone which will not turn on its screen when a sms is received.

Coming from htc phones all this while..this screen turning on when recieving sms/mms/email is really annoying..hopefully someone can cook something to totally prevent this. I guess samsung designed it thia way due to lack of notification led.

on my nexus one, the screen will not turn on when an sms is received. but i can turn this option on if i want so that the screen DOES turn on with an sms. its all about choice. maybe you guys could try handcent, and root and remove the stock messaging app to stop this.

i've just noticed that my phone has started doing this too.
i have sms popup installed and the default sms notification is turned off therefore sms popup should handle the sms notifications.
i have "leave the screen switched off" set in sms popup but the screen still turns on.
this is also happening with the exchange client and i think it might have started since KE7 ...
any ideas ?

Random SMS dissapears

Hi all
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum but as it's a general Android issue i thought this was the best one to post in.
I have had this for a while since i have been using ICS Roms and I wondered if anyone else has had it
I use a abacus Bluetooth watch which among other things vibrates and displays when I receive a sms
Sometimes I have noticed that if I get a sms it displays on the watch but it does not appear on the phone at all, not in the message app or notification bar
But weird is that today it happened and as I saw the text on the watch but again it did not appear anywhere on the phone so I sent a reply and straight away their 2nd text appeared as normal so it's not even down to a certain contact
I've checked all settings that I can think of and it can't be anything to do with the watch software as that only displays what the phone receives
I used to have ARHD installed until I Tried Elegencia and have had the same issue with both, maybe it's a ics issue ?
I have posted this in the Rom thread but thought that this may be a wider issue
Would love to hear if anyone has the same issue
Thanks

Screen turns on when receiving SMS

Everytime I receive a SMS message my screen turns on for about 3 seconds then shuts off. I need this disabled ASAP, so annoying! I thought I saw this mentioned somewhere but when I searched it I didnt find anything for the SGS3.

Only way I seen was to use third party sms app. Hand cent or go sms both work and keeps screen off after you set it up that way.

Yea Handcent fixed it for me & I like Handcent better anyway.
That's more of a work around rather than a solution. There's got to be a fix for this. Someone else posted about this in the general section.

[U] Stock ROM bug or something else?...

I have a problem in my U.
Everytime someone calls me, first the led lights up, then it vibrates about 2-3 times in the middle starts ringing and only after all that the screen turns on so i can answer or reject the call.
After i answer a call sometimes it takes 3-5 sec to hear sound from the other phone, but the caller says he can hear me the whole time.
When receiving SMS, first the led lights up, then after a while it vibrates and after that it rings, but sometimes it doesn't ring.
Another thing, it lags to much to open the contacts, phone and messages app.
My wifes Tipo dual, opens almost instantly the phone app after i touch it.
I'm using The ROM, etc that are stated in my signature.
Please help!! Already tried different kernels, etc. :crying:
It can be something in the mods or it can be the rom itself.
Didi you get these bugs before the mods?
The stock rom sucks, mine did this as well, made the phone unusable.

Already had the excessive lag opening the apps with a fresh stock ROM. Honestly i put and did so many things that i don't know now.
But i installed the Sliding XU 3.3 kernel and it's working almost fine now, only has the original lags opening the apps of the stock ROM.

Andriod Pie update

Hi guys,
After a full update of Android Pie, my phone keeps flickering/flashing during receiving or making calls, done some trouble shooting like reboot in safe mode and no app is causing this, done hard reboot, master reset, changed wall paper or even brightness so i think could be a bug caused by Firmware upgrade, however this happens only when calling or receiving calls from contacts, doesn't happen on whats app call or even Facebook. I also never dropped my phone so I am really struggling to find an answer
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

I think it's normal, because when I make a call the background colour of the phone app flickers when trying to stablish call and once stablished it stops and stays fixed

I dont think is normal, one of my friend has the S8 plus and it doesn't flash while receiving/answering calls. Also tested on another 9 plus with Oreo no flashing issues.
My phone does this, the colour moves up and down, its part of the UI

I have fixed through developer options, its not normal to flash while on or receiving calls
Change animator duration scale in developer settings to 0.5 or higher
The background colour flashes dark and light its supposed to do this, maybe you mean something else
