I bought an LG G2 yesterday after changing my mind and not buying a Note 3 instead. It's the T-Mobile version in black (fingerprint magnet, no white ones in stock unfortunately). I'm coming from a Galaxy S2, and everything feels amazing compared to it. There's one thing I don't like, and that I can't figure out... When I get a text on my LG G2, the screen lights up, every single time. I'm a pretty heavy text user, and I average about 10,000 texts a month. Sometimes I'm in a lecture and I can't text back or use my phone, but it's sitting in my pocket with the screen on wasting my battery and opening up all kinds of apps. How do I disable this? Thanks.
I know you can change text apps that have this option.

If you are using the stock TXT app. Open the App/hit button for the menu, then settings/notifications. you should be able to do what you want there.

That's what I tried, but there's nothing about the screen in there.
I have notifications enabled, new message pop-up enabled, preview enabled, notification sound (text ringtone), vibrate set to always, and repeat alert set to every 2 minutes. Besides those settings, there's nothing, and none of them control the screen unfortunately.

Cant you just on click "notifications display message notification" ??
I'm using the app SMS pop-up to manage all my SMS notification.
The stock app has it's notifications all turned off.
As for SMS popup, there is a setting to keep the screen off when SMS is received.
Well.. I don't like the screen to turn on as well (I don't use any lock screens) and also, I like the pop up feature.

It's just a check box, so if I uncheck that box, I don't get any notifications.

Although that's not the optimal solution, I guess it'll have to do. I'll try that right now, thank you for your help.

Hey fellow Heroes (that's what Hero owners are called, right? )
Does your screen flash for notifications?
In the Sound & Display settings, there's a setting called "Notification flash", subtext "Flash screen for notifications" and you can set for the screen to flash for calls, messages etc.
Now I have all the boxes ticked, but when I get a text messages or email, the screen doesn't flash, only the trackball (for text msgs) or trackball and LED (for emails).
Is it just me or do other people experience this too? Would be nice to see the screen flash and get a quick little text message preview or something.
Thanks for any replies!
No screen flash here either - stock Orange Hero.
wheel
Only the wheel flashes IMHO
So what's that option in settings for then? Nothing? Is this a bug or am I misunderstanding what the option is meant to do?
I have my wheel flashing as soon as some new email or notification arrives. Clearing notifications clears the warning.
Is the screen not a different beast entirely from the trackball / wheel / round spinny thing ?
If the option says Screen Flash then surely we should see the screen flash when its on and a notification happens ?
An option for trackball flashing would be called Trackball Flash.
IMHO
Thanks joemax, that's exactly what I'm talking about!
I'll try again and rephrase my question: You know how when you get a call, an alarm, or a calendar reminder, the screen turns on and shows you the call/alarm clock/calendar screen? I thought that was the notification flash of the screen. So why, even when you turn said setting on, does the screen remain off when you get a text message/email and only the trackball (and LED for email) flash? Is that a bug?

Only the wheel will flash. I've looked into a lot of Android forums for this and all the users report the wheel as flashing but not the screen.
Ok, but do we agree that the screen should light up for messages and emails based on the options in the settings menu?
There is a program that turns the screen on when you get a message, and also one that pops up the text message on screen. If thats any help!

SMS Popup from Market! GET IT! Cracking App!!!!!!
Yes, it's called SMS popup in Market. I'm using it and it works fine for text messages. No popup/notification for email though.
The screen does not flash, it is probably just a mis-translation.
If you go into the 'Notification flash - Flash screen for notifications' settings it lists 6 tickboxes for things like Missed Call and Email etcetera.
Basically think "trackball flash" where the menu is reading "screen flash" and it works, this is the page where you decide which events warrant your trackball flashing a notification.
I leave mine to flash only on Incoming Call, Missed call and SMS.
Having it light up for every work email that comes in is a pain.
The screen does not flash as was configurable on some older HTC Windows Mobile units.
Kind Regards.

Sorry been away, peeps have already named it for you..
Hi,
The notification led is only working randomly...
Sometimes when i get an sms (missed call...) the led is blinking, sometimes is doesn't
When it doesn't i push the on/off button to power the screen and see the 'bell' having a notification (as i did know of course ).
So when i push the on/off button once more to power off the screen, the led is blinking as it should have...
Anyone has this issue too ?
Install glimpse notification and will always see led notifications blinking at missing event(whatever call,SMS,email,viber)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.nullgrad.glimpse&hl=el
You even have option for double tap to sleep from lock screen if you want with this app.

Thanks for the tip. Will try it when no solution is found
Still, my other phones work quite well on this matter...this phone has its moods on notifying.
So question stays : has anyone have this problem too ?

Keep in mind that one more reason for using it not only at Axon but previous phone is that I have the option every time receive any kind event the screen wake up automatically and stay on for 5 second and then turn off automatically and begins the led always blinking until pick up and see the event.
If you having the device at jeans pocket there's a option not wake up the screen but only blinking the led notification.
Many manufacturers don't have that option that's why for me is must have app.

Is indeed right !
Some issues like : wake up screen automatically when receiving, not seeing 'what' i did miss unless i tapp on the horrible 'bell' thing...could have been better for sure ! Or at least customizable.

Yes it's bit of annoying but for that bug or better a bad ZTE feature the only solution is third party lock screen replacement like next lock screen.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.next&hl=el
It works great also with glimpse notification.(only the double tap to sleep feature not working with next lock screen)
Or just we have to wait until ZTE make the bell optional.

Glimpse notification is a help but next lock screen for me it wasn't (not always working correctly too)
Now i am using a simple app called NiLS Lock screen :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roymam.android.notificationswidget&hl=nl
It is very simple and effective. No layover over the existing lock screen, so another swipe to go to the stock lock screen is not necessary.
Also you can tap left on a message to delete it, go to the app. etc...
The good thing f.e. is when you delete a message like gmail with this app, the message is also effectively gone in gmail, so you do not have to do this action twice in gmail. For other apps the same benefit i think.
Just give it a try too

I'm not sure if this is only me or not.
I got my phone for abour 3-4 days now and I noticed that some app notifications don't come through. For instance game notifications that something is happening in the game that I was getting on my previous phone don't appear at all. I also have a Series Guide app on my phone that notifies me with new episodes of the series that I watch daily but now I don't get these notification unless I open the app and then all them come together.
Sometimes viber doesn't pop up at all. E-mail (using Inbox Google) seems to be fine.
I checked all settings (wifi is on Always on) apps permissions etc. Nothings seems to be out of place.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Check in settings - clear background app
And add your app to the white list.
This is the most useless and annoying 'feature' on this phone. Hope elephone removes it or allows us to turn it off.

What is with the small, fast, pointless notifications popping up from some apps. Facebook & texts seem to be the only apps I have seem activate the pop-up.
Why are there no settings?
What's the point if I can adjust timing or actions?
I am a few years removed from Samsung but I imagine this is a TouchWiz feature.
I think you're seeing he edge lighting notifications. Try turning it off in settings --> display --> edge lighting
Nope. The small pop-up at the top that displays incoming messages. Edge lighting seems to work when it wants to but this is a true peek notification at the top that goes away after 1 sec, barely time to realize it is there.

For messages:

Turn off popup display and preview message

Looking for the globAl controls for this popup. Is it TouchWiz? Is it Android? Where are the settings?

You only get the little bubble pop-ups if Edge Lighting is on...however, if Edge Lighting is off, you get bigger pop-ups and the ability to reply within that pop-up. It only lets you do this if the Edge Lighting is off though. I've been searching and trying to get this to work right since I got the phone and just now figured it out. The Edge Lighting does nothing for me, so I'm happy to turn that feature off in order to reply within my pop-up notifications.
Turned off edge light but left panel on. I see within edge lighting there are app selections so this now makes sense. I am now getting popups as well as in training controls but it surprises me that I can control which apps. Inbox doesn't pop-up for instance but messaging does.
Does anyone experience problems when taking pictures with the messenger app, I cant seem to send the pictures. When I press the send button nothing happens. Also, I dont get popups from the email and instagram app when I use the phone, only a sound. Is it possible to regulate this?
Did you figure this out?

Hey guys.
Just got my new S10+ and I've notice that when my screen is asleep, I don't receive any notifications until I either lift the device or push the power button to wake it up.
I've checked my battery optimization settings, made sure the apps I wanted weren't controlled in the background
I have the regular S10 but I get that too, mainly with gmail but even now when I used the phone the notification of a new gmail doesn't come up. sometimes they come through, half the time not. never had such problems with my old phone
yep, same thing here on 10+. driving me nuts !! and edge light doesn't work as well.
i tried every option and can't figure it out what's the problem.
I also have never seen the edge lightning when the screen is off

It's pretty cool. I like how when are In a movie app you can still interact without leaving the movie app.
But to clarify mine is working with the screen off. Dumb question I know but are you sure it's enabled?

You have to be more specific with your issue... But, go into your message setting and make sure message pop up is turned on. If it's turned on, it could be a glitch. Just go into your your phone's settings, hit apps, find messages and then tap on it. Then find storage and hit Clear cache and storage. See if that helps.

Yes, pop up setting is turned on but with gmail is a hit or miss, sometimes I get notified, sometimes not and it's mostly when screen is off. my main problem is with another app that I'm not receiving any notifications even though everything is enabled and I cleared cache, re-installed and what not. I have no problem getting notifications from whatsapp, missed calls, sms etc.
Also, when I clear the notifications, the badges on the app's icons also dissapear even though I didn't yet go inside the app to see it. is it possible to keep showing the badges after I clear the notifications? I don't know if it's unique to android pie but it shouldn't be like this.

I believe that the pop up messages only work on certain applications to my knowledge. I've seen messages come up but, I've never really payed attention to my gmail yet because i usually get notified on my galaxy watch. The phone is still too new even for me. I'll test it out some more.
I'd just be happy to get all notifications from all my apps and keep badges even after I cleared the notification.
yesterday i saw edge light for first time, but it only works when screen is ON. what really cancels the purpose of it.
screen OFF "edge light" doesn't work.

Yup, the feature is enabled, and I have assigned 6 apps to show notifications with the light. They do work when the screen is on, but not when they're on.
I got workaround by installing Glimpse Notification. The edge lighting showing while screen is off but what disappoint me it not showing the notification text.
My s7 with s9 rom showing edge lighting with notification text without using any apps though. I think maybe is pie rom? Or just s10 rom?
