I'm finding I'm missing loads of text messages & would love it if the phone would alert me repeatedly until I finally notice the sms and read it.
I have dug around the phones menus but with no luck. Not sure if I'm just missing it as I'm new to Android (loving It).
Is their a setting to enable this feature or will I just have to choose a longer/louder sms notification sound.
Thanks.
use handcent SMS, you can set how long the phone should vibrate, and I also recommend NoLED

Thanks, I'll take a look at those.
also SMS Popup, which I prefer to Handcent...
Thanks, gonna have a play around with both and see which i prefer.
SMS!Alert
You can try SMS!Alert.
Allow you to create custom alerts based on SMS messages, enter a incoming phone number and/or keyword filter, when someone sends a SMS with the keyword filter text or if incoming phone number matches, phone will display sound alert.
I am having issues with getting notifications on this phone. There is no LED noification light and I don't always hear the audible alert.
Is there a way to make the lock screen light up when a text is received? I have the stock messages and the AT&T messages installed, and neither seem to do this. It will sit there blank until I press the power button and see that something has come in.
I am using the AT&T messages for the visual voicemail, but again, open to suggestions.
Thanks.
my screen comes on when i get a text message. stock messaging app.
you can try SMS Popup and play with the settings in it to get what you want, like text message reminders and screen on/off

Mine never has, even before I installed AT&T messages.
Is there a setting that I missed?
Thanks.
Personally I'd recommend looking into Handcent. It's a much better SMS app imo and it definitely allows a screen pop to occur when the phone is asleep upon receiving a new message. A lot more customization as well.

i would prefer GO SMS PRO over handcent, but thats a personal preference.
@026TB4U, there are no settings within the stock messaging app that would enable/disable screen activation. it just works. when i get a text message and my screen is off, it comes on, shows me the slide to text, then after a few more seconds it shuts off
SMS Popup will allow you to do all kinds of things while still using the stock messaging app.
Thanks for the recommendations, I'll look into them.
What about voicemail?Do any of these handle that? How are you getting notified?
I would really like to find out why mine is not lighting up....lol

I use google voice and love it. Free visual voicemail and they even transcribe it for you. Also +1 on handcent. Been using that for a long time now and love it.
Mine wakes on a new message and gives the audible alert, if you don't have it silenced.

Ok, that's 3 people that have confirmed that my phone is not behaving correctly.
Anybody have any ideas why?
My phone wakes on incoming sms as well.

I uninstalled AT&T Messages and problem is solved.
I do wish it would stay lit longer though...lol
Anyone else notice that if the messaging app is open to a conversation, and the phone goes into lockmode, or you lock it and a new message comes in, it doesn't make a peep, or flash the LED?
Am I missing a setting?
Don't think it's a setting.
I know when you have the messaging app open no notifications occur if you are in the same conversation. I think if you are in a different conversation you do get notified via task bar and vibrate/sound. I guess by design since you are there. So it seems that even with the screen off it knows where you are and won't notify.
I never noticed this since I never got a text with the app open and screen off.
Which was the exact reason I use go sms. I missed too many important texts that required immediate answers.

I use chomp sms for messaging and it lights my screen up every time I receive a message even though the "wake device" option is off... HOWEVER I use the pop up quick reply set to lockscreen only which I absolutely love but I'm thinking that might be the issue
Is there a way to disable just the screen on part without disabling the quick reply?
Thanks in advance for any comments
Is there no way from the lock screen or home screen to see the text notification and simply dismiss it because I have no need to reply. Everything I try still keeps the message active with more reminders. If only android especially LG could just simply make messaging as simple as an iPhone.
