SMS sound not playing - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hi everyone...
Got my s4 yesterday but I noticed the notification sound never plays when I receive an SMS...works for email, gchat but for some reason never for sms. I've tried doing a hard reset, going into sms settings, going into sound settings and nothing...Any ideas?

There is notification on sms setting menu too. Did u check that?

Yeah went into sms menu and checked it and unchecked it, changed sound still doesnt work

Mine stopped ringing after i installed handcent. Uninstalled it and it started working. Then I installed ninja sms and same problem. I'm guessing you can't have another type of sms app or it will stop the notifications from the stock messaging. Which is pretty weird since I've never had that problem on any of my other phones

I was able to fix it by just doing another battery pull which is weird cause i did it before but oh well as long as its fixed...I'm using the stock msging app

[Q] Handcent - New to Samsung

Just upgraded my Evo to the Epic 4G Touch, and I'm a fan of Handcent for messaging, and prefer its notifications over the stock messaging app. On the Evo, if you disabled notifications in the stock messaging app, you just didn't get them.
On this phone, I get notifications no matter what.
Any clues?
open stock app, press menu, uncheck notifications.
im using handcent like i did on evo and get no stock notifications. i also replaced the stock app button w/ the handcent app. only problem...it doesnt have a little counter showing me how many msgs i have.

Are you saying you're getting double notifications via both stock sms and handcent event though you've disable them in the stock app or are you saying you're still getting them from handcent even though you've disable them in the stock app?
In a nutshell, you'll get them from either or both if you haven't disabled the individual notifications in each app, i.e. stock sms and/or handcent. Make sense?
I believe there is a plug in in the market for that

a plug in that works similar to the handcent widget'? of the three interchangble scrolling buttons, only apps are allowed to be used. the handcent widget works fine, its just not selectable as a button i can use on the 4button scrolling bar.
OP did you disable notifications in the STOCK app and STILL get notified?

I have no issues with the notifications, however I do have Force close issues with Handcent on my phone. Is anyone else experiencing the occasional freeze up? I usualy have to task kill it or wait till I get the force close option, but it happens pretty often.

Can't get my text messages to vibrate!

I tried messing with allow the settings and I can't figure out why my messages aren't sending notifications... this happens with both stock app and go SMS... since I got the phone I had the problem

From the home screen...hit menu>settings>volume
There you can change all the vibration settings
if you are using 3rd party SMS Apps then you have to change the settings in the App itself, for example Go SMS and Handsent and others alike
Did the above and it still doesnt vibrate...

[Q] Messaging notifications

Is there a way to assign different notification sounds to individual contacts? I have the stock messaging app. Maybe through another app?
I use Handcent, which gives you full capability to customize notifications based on contact. I tend to have my phone on vibrate only most of the time, but I customized the vibrate pattern for a couple key people, for example.

Anyone ever notice if you just swipe away a new txt message in the dropdown, within a few minutes you get the same notification? You always have to open the txt message, then jump back out. I find this a pain since it tells you in the notification almost all message txt anyway. Does anyone else have this issue?

Always had this issue since ICS. Recurring notifications have always been annoying.

I thought so. Had a similar problem once. Just stopped randomly on a new flash of a ROM.

[Q] Screen keeps waking up when I get a text message

Hello,
I have not been able to find any place to disable the screen waking up for 2-3 seconds after I receive a SMS text message. It doesn't do this for facebook, for email, for MMS, but everytime I get an SMS it wakes up which I want to stop it doing.
Anybody know where the option to turn this off is?
Side notes: I have my lockscreen disabled
disable notifications under the sms app.

How is that heloful? He's asking about stopping the screen from turning on, not the entire notification. Op as of now I don't think we can. I think I had heard a while back of an app that stopped the stock sms from turning on the screen but I can't remember at this time the name of the all

I need an answer to this aswell
You have to use another SMS program (like from play store) and disable the default, or root and use the modded apk which allows for this option to be selectable

SMS & screen on

Can someone tell me if there is a way to stop the screen from turning on when I get an SMS as well as stopping the SMS from appearing on the lock screen? It's very annoying and I'm sure over time it cuts into battery life.
Thanks.
Msg. Setting.

Settings in message app and uncheck preview message.
Theres no way to prevent the screen from waking i dont think...custom roms only.

Thanks for the replies. I'll have to wait for a ROM then.
Thanks again.
Problem is with preview unchecked you still get a box on your lock screen minus the text info. I believe it just says "message".

chomp
use chomp sms. its quite fast, more customizable than the stock messaging app and actually has an option from preventing the screen wake. i cant say for the other sms applications though, but chomp is good
I have been using Go SMS for years. I really like the customization and settings. You can turn off stock notifications and eliminate the screen wake issue.
