Screen doesn't turn on for me when I get texts using stock messaging app. It's been that way out of the box, I never had to disable anything.

What model you have?

Yes, it's an annoying feature but unfortunately cannot be turned off if you use the stock messaging app. One option is to use 3rd party messaging like go message
I have just tested. Seems that hangouts doesn't turn on the screen

I have the D851 US T-Mobile variant. I use the stock SMS app and my screen does not turn on when I get a text or MMS. It was that way out of the box, I'm not using Hangouts, so I don't know how that works there.

I think I might have found the issue in message settings.

yes you have to uncheck notifications - display message notifications if you don't want the screen to turn when you receive an sms BUT you won't be notified with a message tone but only through the LED (color green).
new message pop-up - little popup box upper left corner on homescreen. only shows from whom and not some of the message if preview is unchecked.
preview - shows a preview of message.
if you only disable any of these two but still checked notifications, screen will still light up and you still get to hear message tone but no popup window on upper left of homescreen.
LG should fix these as some people still want the option hear the message tone when a text arrives but don't want the screen to turn on and also retain the option to turning the screen on for those who want it this way. not like this one wherein the only option you have if you want screen off when receiving message is the message tone is also disabled.
for now, tweaks from mods like tweaksbox perhaps will do.
confirmed tweak new message screen off from g3 tweaksbox works the way it should for those who want screen off when receiving new message but still want the message tone. just remember to restart phone when setting this option.

You can only turn off the screen wakeup if you use a SMS app like handcent or gosms pro. Not the ideal solution but it works. I hate using apps that duplicate functionality I already have, but had to in this case.

[Q] Messaging notification flash light

I just got my new LG G4 and whenever I get a text message my camera flashlight will flash 5 times and it's really annoying.
Does anyone have an idea how turn this off?
Thanks for your help!

Try going to settings>general>accessibility>hearing
Disable the third option down. If that isn't it, I would check any apps you installed that effect notifications or accessibility permissions.

Keep screen OFF when receiving notifications

I have a smartwatch and my beautiful phone has also a notification LED. Considering this, I do not want to use the lock-screen notifications at all.
Therefore, I turned OFF the lock screen notifications from the "sounds and notifications" settings menu but even now, in case of a notification or event, the screen will turn ON briefly. If the phone is in my pocket during that time and I have a trusted device nearby (my smartwatch) then the phone will unlock by randomly swiping the screen with my leg (large shorts ).
For the past few days I pulled out the phone in different languages, or with the tethering hotspot active or other randomly activated settings.
So, the 1000 points question is: how the heck can I force the 10 to not turn on the screen on notifications? I have no root and I do not intend to install one (company policy). Is there any solution? Thx.
Interesting. My screen never wakes up to show me a notification, so I'm wondering if it's app specific? I know with Textra, there's a setting to wake the screen for each text message, but I have that turned off.
It's definitely an app you're using that's turning on the screen.

Thank you guys. It was indeed app specific. After you posted this I started looking in all the settings from all the apps with notifications access. The guilty one was Nils. There was a small switch to turn on the screen, indeed.
Thanks again.

No it doesn't. But you can enable the Always-on display function to see notifications icons when your screen is off.

Does the alway-on feature works the same as Samsung?

yes. even allowing a picture on it
Not even does it allow a picture, there's a little menu where you can scroll through functions such as turning the flashlight on or off, wifi etc...
The always on display is interactive unlike the LG G7

That is even better!
Go To:
Settings > General > Apps & Notifications > Notifications >Brief Notifications > Sidelight
You can choose which apps you want to have the Sidelight Notifications for.

This is active only when received message right? Is there any option to have active unless I read the message?
I still have G2 with led for 4 years and I am really addicted
Most manufacturers have either phased them out already or are probably in the process of phasing them out. Its like asking for a removable battery. I miss them too but things change.

As someone else mentioned, you can enable side light so the edge of the screen lights up. If you go into the app specific notifications you can also enable the camera flash for notifications. I have this on for SMS and calls.
Hi guys,
Do we have an app that works for the LG G8 like Pulse Beat for the 6T?
And I see no option to wake screen when I receive a notification.
The G8 doesn't have LED Notification BUT it has SideLighr Notifications.
Settings>General>Apps& Notifications>Notifications>Brief Notifications>SideLight
You can choose which apps to show Notifications.

Yeah I know and it works well but once that is finished and I didn't see it I wouldn't know if I got a notification. AOD seems to be the only way round and I'm trying out Glimpse Notification from the play store as an alternative.
Hurray!
Trying out the sidelight now

edge lighting

I just need a quick clarification whether a certain behaviour is indeed as expected or not.
For starters whether screen is on or off when I get a message from Viber or the standard messaging app etc I will get the edge lighting glow and preview thing up top...
I've installed the app to be able to activate it for all my apps. However for example with FB messenger or a game that I have, the typical edge lighting behaviour only appears when the screen is off. If the screen is on I just get the standard notification sound and the notification is just found in the drop down notification bar. No edge lighting or anything. Is this normal? Is there a way to make them also exhibit this behaviour when screen is on as well?

It's already set there on always. Like I said with viber and the standard messaging app it is ALWAYS working normally, whether the screen is on or off... but with CERTAIN apps through the 3rd party app it only works when the screen is off.
can you check if you have smart popup

I don't know if will work in your situation but I too have struggled with getting edgelighting to work... The problem was solved when I went to developer settings and set the animations up to 0,5 instead of off, which I had chosen to get a faster phone...
