Help Is there a way to wake up the screen when receiving a text?

[Peter Fletcher]

I am new to Android and I love this phone, but I can't figure out a way to get the screen to wake up when I receive a text.

I hope this is possible as that would be ideal for me as many times I miss the message alert sound.

Thanks!


p.s. I know the notification light pulses after a missed text, but I would love the screen to wake up for a second when I receiving a text.

The closest thing to what you are talking about that I have used, which is pretty nice is Dynamic Notifications.

It works a lot like Motorola's Active Display.

P.S. Welcome to the forums!

AC display wakes up the screen with any notification

Textra has an option for that.

no better option than "nils" imo. i will say i used to use Dynamic notifications, paid for the pro version and the updates in the middle of the night started to annoy me. it annoyed my wife more as shes a lighter sleeper. now i dont use anything. even got rid of nils b/c of the same issue. but nils is my bet. Trust me, it'll wake your phone up.

Textra let's you set quiet hours to avoid late night disturbances.
