I have found Pattern lock, GPS on off and data on off sometimes doesnt work, it fires from tasker because when you look at the exit/entry task its sitting there stuck and you have to hit stop

That will be tasker not properly set up. Why not try change the context to test if the secure settings functions work well? Tasker on my galaxy tab had the same problem. GPS works fine on my phone.

Do you have something that blocks network access, like DroidWall, installed?
EDIT: To clear up - DroidWall has the ability to block an app's access to the network for 3g, wifi, or both. So it's POSSIBLE, if you have it installed, that you have it allowed for 3g, but not for wi-fi.
That said: is it ONLY on your home wi-fi that you get this? Try it on another wi-fi network. Does it work on any other wi-fi network? If so, then if you think there is no firewall on your home wi-fi, then I think you're wrong.
it does not on any wi fi network and I did not installed any kind if firewall app

Not a very large sampling size. I'd try some more.
EDIT: someone else on here was having trouble with a web site on wifi, that worked on 3g. Turned out he had issues with his hosts file. If you're rooted, look in /etc for a hosts file, and see if it has addresses for vlingo in it. I don't know what those addresses might be, you'll have to research that yourself.

the folder is actually created by an apk to prevent ads in games and there are done urls that are redirected to some IP will look if vlingo is in it
EDIT: deleted the file still doesn't work one thing I noticed it gives.error when it hear noises if I don't make any noise then no error it just waits for command

Hmm. Well, SOMETHING is blocking your phone from getting to vlingo's servers when you're on wifi. ... But I've run out of ideas, if you're SURE you don't have a firewall on your home wifi, and you got rid of your/etc/hosts file.
How many other wifi networks have you tried this on now?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I woke up and voila it works with home wi fi . don't know what happened :-D now the market problem remains only. market apps not showing
EDIT: again the problem :'(

One thing I miss from my iPhone... Is there an android alternative?

When I got a message or notification while my screen was off it would light up the screen automatically to show you the notification on the lock screen. Is there an android alternative?

go sms works perfectly as you described, and its my choice, but see what works best for you.

Honestly I looked into a few of those recommendations but I chose Tasker with the plug in Secure Settings.
Now I can choose to wake up my screen on any notification for a defined amount of time before it turns off automatically.
Tasker is a very powerful system app. So if you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it. It's a paid app ($6.95) but very worth it. If your skeptical go to the developer's website for a trial.

Tasker is pretty awesome. Amazing things can be done with that app.
Not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting you to say that Tasker is your solution.
Agreed with slix, go sms works great

Stock does not show you the message contents on a pop up on the screen.

Well the OP didn't word it that way. If that's the case, then people have made plenty of suggestions.

True. I made the leap because my wife had an iPhone and knew the behavior the OP was referring to.

True, I've had multiple iPhones as well. I actually HATED that feature and I still don't like it on my note. It should come with a damn LED notification like 99% of every android phone.

Then why post another thread here instead of asking in that one (or in the other thread about blocking mode just a few threads down)?
It's working for me and for others. What problem are you having with it?
Edit: While the shortcut allows you to open up the settings for Blocking Mode, it's actual functionality is definitely hit or miss, with far more misses than hits. Perhaps that's the issue you're having.

Modal dialog insanity.

I love my Note 2. I would love it even more if I didn't see a modal popup every gps, every mobile data, every maps exit and others. Verizon or stock 4.1.1 issue? Solutions? Mod?

I know that my ROM no longer says anything about GPS, not sure about Mobile Data. Either way, why are you toggling them all the time? I leave GPS on all the time, data is always active unless in airplane mode, and I can still get through a day easily (usually 2+ days) without charging. Also, WTF is "Modal"? You usually get more help with proper spelling and without replying to yourself several times.
