I have the settings checked for sound and status bar notifications, but I am not getting notified. The little number is coming up for new email messages on the email icon, but not coming up on the sms icon. The only way I can tell if there is a text is to go to the text page, which really is not an option. I am with Verizon. The texts seem to go and come alright, just no notifications.
I have a Galaxy S5 and would like to be able to stop the notification of receiving an e-mail without stopping the notification of text messages. Is there a way to differentiate? I was able to do this on older phones.
The text icon disappeared and I do not receive notifications of new text messages. The only way I can find a text is to locate the sender in my Contacts.
I always receive texts normally and get the normal notifications and can read messages through normal messaging. I now cannot recieve notifications and use messaging for my husbands number. I can only check texts by going to his contact info and selecting messaging. I dont even get a notification of his message coming through. his messages don't show up in the normal message centre, although they are there when I go in from his contact
Since last tuesday, I am not receiving text message notification on my phone. It is not only after I made a phone call that the text message notification show up. I check all the settings and they seems to be okay.
I can set a default ringtone but set specific tones for individual contacts. My old Samsung phone also allowed this with text notification tones. Work message could be one sound while family and friends were another.
I suddenly stopped receiving notifications for text messages. I don't get sounds, the flashing green light or notifications at the top of my screen.
I have already tried going into settings > notifications and checked the "receive notification" and "play notification sound" boxes. I've chosen a notification sound with the volume up. None of this seems to work and i'm not sure why.
I get push notifications from many apps that appear in the pull down notification list, but they are always cut off. Is there any way to see the full text of the notification past the ... ? Selecting the notification opens the app, which is not what I want. For example, I get breaking news updates but I can usually only see half of the headline in the pull-down. As it's a breaking news update, there is no article written on it yet so opening the app isn't useful. It's getting really annoying, I'd like to be able to read the notification without opening the app. I don't really see the point in only displaying part of the notification or message or email in the pull-down.
Using the stock Messaging app on the S6 allows you to set notification SOUND of your choice - globally ... but no longer has the ability to set a custom vibration pattern. Also, you USED to be able to set unique notification sounds per individual or contact group , but that's now missing too.
My question is, using a third-party messaging app, are these things possible? If so, which texting app (Chomp, etc.) is the way to go so that you can set up unique sounds/vibrations for individuals or groups?
I received a text yesterday and ever since I keep getting notifications for the same message (even says it was received yesterday as opposed to a new message). How do I fix this error? Using an iPhone 4s. Its only with this message, everything else is working fine, since I logged in and typed this up, I've had another 3.
My 4 day old N97 Mini stopped displaying new text message notifications on the screen and alerting me via a tone or vibration.Before posting I read this forum and other independent forums and did the following:
Checked firmware for phone - was up to date
Checked message tone was active in profiles - was active
Deleted all messages in inbox/drafts/sent - fixed issue had 41 messages total in these 3 folders.
I can't understand this error, I had an iPhone 3G before coming back to Nokia (N97 mini OS served a better purpose) I could store literally 100's of texts and never had a problem, If I can't have more than 40 texts in my folders without the alert turning itself off..Then the phone is useless.... I could have a text sitting there for hours without knowing.I have read other threads that have been marked as SOLVED but without an explanation of why this happens how is it solved if it keeps happening to people? It may have returned the message alert and tone... but if there is a bug it shouldnt me marked as solved..
al the profile settings are correct, just randomly one day - since two days ago - i dont get a text noise.I even turned my phone off all last night. this morning - no change?

I'm randomly not hearing the sound for incoming texts, even though everything else (visual notifications) work. I wasn't sure about this until today, when I received 10 texts while the Bold was sitting on my desk in a quiet room. 4 of them made no sound; the other 6 did. All in random order. I have the latest AT&T official released OS. Is this a known issue? I've searched this forum, but I'm not a pro here, and haven't found this specific issue.
Just picked up the M8 and I'm super pleased with just about everything on the phone with the exception of a few things. One of the few things that bugs me about this phone is that I'm constantly missing texts, and e-mail notifications if the phone is in my pocket.
On my old phones, I'd rely on vibration to let me know when I receive incoming texts, or notifications, and on the M8 it seems theres only a single option to enable vibration and not anywhere to intensify, or even change the vibration patterns when receiving texts or other notifications.
Is there anything built into the phone that can intensify the vibration or possibly make it vibrate for a longer duration? I'd hate to download a third party app just to do this, but if thats my only option then I'll be happy to do so.
After trading in my unlocked 950 for the ATT 950, glance doesnt show SMS notifications. Missed calls, VM, and facebook all show normally on glance. SMS turns on screen and toast notification as normal, just not on glance screen.
We use a paging system (text message) when we get called into work and it comes from a different number each time ex: 7777129401 the next page will be 77771291048. With my Galaxy S4 I was able to set a separate text notification for all of my groups of contacts while my default text messaging notification would be a loud siren (to wake me up in the middle of the night). This means anytime I got a "page" for work or if someone texted me and I didn't have their number in my phone the siren would go off. The only way I can figure out how to do this in the S6 is to individually go to each contact and set a custom notification and set my default to the siren. I have over 800 contacts, so this would take forever! I also used to use an app called Alirmer before I got the S4, because I did not have the capability with the Droid Bionic, but for some reason this app does not operate correctly on the S6.
I use my phone for business, I need to be able to tell when a text comes in for a customer, right now every notification that comes in, is the same sound. when I go to sound settings, it lets me change the sound, but it is still the SAME for texts and notifications I need to tell texts from everything else.
I am not getting notifications from incoming text messages. I have to open the stock texting app, and I will immediately see the unread messages, and at that time I get the 'Droid' sound and the text icon appears in the notification bar. I am running a totally stock X2 with 2.3.3. I have no other text app installed other than the stock app, and I would rather keep it that way.
My daughter's G3 updated to Lollipop yesterday. Now when she gets a text the flash on the back of the phone pulses 6 times. Any way to turn this off? Actually, it does this for calls too.
I have to open the messaging app to see if anybody has texted me. I've missed 2 very important time sensitive text messages already that have burned me.
I also have a band 2 (hate how it manages messages), but this problem occurs even when bluetooth and band 2 is off/not connected.
Nothing shows up on glance/lock screen even if I have messaging chosen to show quick status.
I always give my closest friends individual ringtones to separate them from all the other texts that I get. So I went to their contact info, added notification field and then changed their notification tone. But for some reason when they text me, they still come up as the default notification as like every other text does. Why can't I customize the text notifications by adding a different text notification to each of my contacts that I want a different notification tone for?
When working from my computer and so not to have to go to my phone, is there an app. (that will sync with my phone app.) or method to receive and send texts from my computer. Will it have a pop-up box on my computer?
Will it also show and save the texts on my phone?I am on verizon with an S5. I use the standard messaging app on my phone.
