Notifications screen on

**Mitri360** · 01-23-2013, 11:01 PM

The problem I'm having is that whenever I get Text notification it wakes my screen. I'm using the default messenger. I don't want it to do that but I can't figure out how to stop it. Is there any way?

Turn off the notification in settings.

**Mitri360** · 01-27-2013, 10:07 PM

That did nothing. The screen still wakes.

Sounds like you have another app installed that is turning your screen on when you receive a message.

Did you go to the settings in the messaging app? Mine is turned off and my screen does not turn on

I have the same issue. Haven't a clue how to turn off the screen waking up from a text message. How do you turn that off? The text message application (stock), which boxes are check? I don't see anything mentioning about screen waking up.

In the stock app settings go to the notification settings and uncheck the box to receive notifications.

Hulk and MItri: what 3rd party apps do you have installed? I don't think the stock messaging app, by itself, works this way.

**HULKchampion** · 01-29-2013, 09:36 AM

I don't have any third party application installed for texting or anything. I'm bone stock.

If it isn't to much trouble. Could you screen shot what you are mentioning.

**Mitri360** · 02-04-2013, 06:17 PM

I am the same. No external texting or notification apps.

Do you have the preview option checked in the notifications settings? If the phone is showing you a preview of the message it will turn on the phone

**stas333** · 02-18-2013, 08:28 PM

this setting is not present on stock phones. the phone must be rooted and original messanging application must be modified. I used to have this one on the LJ (whatever the last Jb version was), but after a hard reset, the mods on MA6 do not work.

here is a thread about it on XDA:

Damn, that sucks. I need to be rooted to get rid of "screen on" notification. Why are other phone users not having this issue and they're bone stock too?

**meyerweb** · 02-20-2013, 08:28 AM

You should be able to get ride of the pop-ups, without rooting, but using Handcent or another SMS app. Handcent (and others) are free, so give one of these apps a try. Make sure to turn off all notifications in the stock messaging app.
