Screen turn on when messages received and home button turn on screen disable - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

And is there any way of disable the home button waking the phone ?
I am rooted. Thanks in advance

For the home button waking phone issue, see this thread in this forum from yesterday:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266545

I'm not as worried about the Home key, but I have the same complaint about receiving SMS.
When I receive a text message, my screen turns on for a few seconds, then turns off again. Is there a way to stop this?
If I touch the screen when it is on, it takes me into whatever I touched, and the screen stays on. That is particularly a problem when it turns on while in my pocket.
My phone is set to have no lock screen (and unless you use a PIN or similar, I don't know why you would want a lock screen - it's just one more step to get to using your phone).
My Messaging app is set to show notifications in the notification bar and play a sound and vibrate, but not to show a message preview.
So, I think it's actually a bug that the screen would turn on at all, just from receiving an SMS or MMS message.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to stop this behavior?

Keeping it in standby

Anybody know if there's a way of keeping my Trinity in standby even when a text message comes through - I keep the thing in my pocket and if I don't look at it straight away after a text has come through, all kind of things happen - programs get launched, photos get taken, voice memos are created, just from it moving around in my pocket after un-standbying itself!??
Thanks
Lock the screen and when a text comes no programs will launch!
Nope...
Doesn't work...as soon as a text comes through, everything unlocks - is there anyway to stop this from automatically happening?
Thanks
flight mode

Not so on mine when it is locked it stayes locked! The screen will come on but the machine stays locked.
What mine is doing is when a text comes through, it seems to be causing the device to unlock, because the screen will take touch commands - I need to be able to lock the screen and get it to stay locked even when a text comes through. Any experts out there who might know how to achieve this?
Thanks
What is flight mode anyway?
OK, let me put this another way - is it possible to lock the screen until you press the standby button, so that nothing else unlocks it such as a text message or phonecall?
Thanks
I don't have this problem. My screen is set to go off after 1 minute. When the phone is in standby, all I get is a tone and the orange light flashes. The screen will not come on, unless I press the power button.
No input is accepted when in standby by the screen or any button except the power button - check your settings
I also have it set to auto-lock after 2 hours, so even if I get a text, and turn the screen on, then i need to put the password in before the screen unlocks
i use my m700 the same as you with no problems
RESOLVED!
Managed to put the device lock option on the 'Today' screen and this keeps the whole device locked (screen & all) no matter what happens, until you press the unlock option on the screen. Hooray!

Notifications are not cleared when already in app

Anyone notice how when you're already in an app with the screen off and you receive a notification for that app, when you turn the screen on it doesn't automatically clear it? For example, I'm on the home screen, turn the screen off, receive a text, turn screen on, open message thread, notification cleared. I REMAIN in message thread, turn screen off, receive another text from the same person, turn screen on, even though I'm already in the thread, the notification remains. This is extremely annoying because if you leave a message thread up, you must constantly clear notifications for no good reason.
Would you all consider this a bug? What's the best way to submit this to HTC?
EDIT: On second thought, this may only happen when the lock screen is disabled. I could've sworn I've seen it happen before even with the lock screen enabled, but only intermittently.

Disable screen wake on notification

Has anyone found a way to disable screen wake for notifications? Every time I receive a new email or hangout message(Those are the two I've noticed so far) my screen will turn on. Driving me crazy.

Just tested it, I don't have screen wake on notification, neither with power plugged in, nor on battery. Also tried with with always on display, it only adds notification icon, doesn't even change the brightness.
Go into "settings" and turn off all notifications
it's also annoying that the screen lights up when the battery reaches 100% while wirelessly charging,
it lights up the whole bedroom.
This was driving me crazy. Came across 'SMS Popup' app I used years ago and it works like a charm. No more screen lighting up when a message comes in. Disable notifications in stock messaging app and enable in SMS popup. Unselect 'screen on for popup'. I like the popup options better than default messaging app too, you can configure the buttons and even have one that reads the message out loud.
Edit: After further testing, results are very inconsistent. Works great sometimes and not at all others. I have uninstalled and it's back to square one.

Major problem: Notification popup and app overlays keep the display on

I can't find anything on this issue, but a friend of mine with S7 edge also has this problem, so it doesn't seem like I'm the only one.
1. This is not notification waking up screen, though I'd like to turn that off too.
2. This is not popup showing and disappearing.
This affects the following:
1. If you get a notification popup that stays around, such as from LINE.
2. If you have an ongoing phone call or facebook call or any app overlay that stays when the screen is off.
The screen turns on by itself. Continuously. You can turn the screen off by pressing power. The screen will turn back on immediately. This kills the battery.
No one else has this?

Phone vibrates even if vibration is off for the apps

I have set my phone vibration on using power down key. For apps like WhatsApp, TOI, I have turned it off. Whenever I am using my phone and there is the notification from these apps, my phone gets vibrated. Is this is a bug? How can I turn off vibration for notifications and turn on only for calls? Is there is a difference in vibration setting when screen is off or screen is on? Please help
anyone??

Once For me, my device profile mode was in 'ringing' but when I was receiving calls, my phone device wasn't ringing. I then restarted the phone and it started working.
Same issue with the zen gesture 'tap to wake/sleep' , had turn the gesture on and off for it to work.
Phone is having many issues.
