How do i disable screen on from a notification

Whenever i get a text my screen turns on. How do i make it so it just vibrates or makes a noise. The only way for me to disable the screen is if i turn off all notifications which is not what i want. Is there any solution to this. I am rootex

no? i disabled the lock screen so the back light stays on for the full 30 seconds :[

Bump, cuz I was going to ask the same question.
I was thinking of having tasker do this. But if theres some instructions somewheres I'd rather not have to fiddle w/ tasker. Brains not up for it, yet.

I'd like to know the answer to this as well. My screen lights up whenever I get an email via the stock email app. Kind of annoying since I get cron job report work emails @ all hours of the night.
Oh, & I have searched... "stock email screen light" returns ~1K hits. I sifted through 7 pages of results before deciding to add to this thread.

searching for screen off app

i am searching for an app that make 100% the same when i push the hardware power button.
i have tried many apps/widgets, most switch to the look-screen and 15 sec later the screen goes off.
I want the phone goes immediately off (no 1,2 or more seconds later)
exact the same as the hardware power off.
Rom is original .906, rooted
And yes, under Settings/Security the "set up screen lock" is set to "none" !
please help!

Are you looking for a widget that will lock the screen without you pressing the power button, or an app that disables the stock lock screen altogether, so that if the screen's off and you hit Power it goes straight to your home screen? Both exist, I've used both and they work for me on the stock ROM.

Power ON without screenlock: have it
Power OFF without lockscreen: i search for it. All apps i tried shows the lock-screen and 15 sec. later the phone goes off. I want the phone off in 0 seconds with an app.

Not sure that's possible. You're basically looking for an app that will instantly sever the link to the battery. It would need to be a rooted app, and it would be very dangerous.

I think I understand what you are looking for.
Are you looking for a way to turn off your phone without unlocking the phone?
If so, you can install a lockscreen replacement app such as Widget Locker. Then, even if your phone is locked, you may hold the power button and it will bring up the option to turn off your phone.

on my moto pro i have this working with an app (works not on the d3) .. root are
no problem ... i need only an good app
On the moto pro the app called: lock and screen off widget (1.0.1)
but on the d3 this app shows the lock-screen ... not off (the screen goes off but the phone only 15 sec. later)
1 app that makes the same as the power button for switch off the phone! (The same !!!)

After a lot of searching the web for this kind of app I've finally this thread and was pretty disappointed that there is no solution to this problem! All the existing apps basically fall into one of the two following categories.
1. "Lock togglers" - apps/widgets that upon starting them enable/disable the lockscreen.
2. "Screen lockers" - apps/widgets that upon starting them turn screen off and lock it regardless if the lock screen is turned of by an app of the (1) category.
What we need here is a app which can turn screen off while respecting lock screen policy.
The quest continues....

I think what you're looking for may be in the aosp cm9. There's a toggle in the notification bar the turns off the screen. Try that out if you're wanting to try a different rom.

I just saw the app Elixir 2 mentioned on AndroidCentral.com today. It looks like this has a screen-off toggle widget.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bartat.android.elixir&hl=en
Phone can be unrooted. You do need a widget add-on and an add-on that gives admin permissions for the screen off toggle.

App Notification Settings - Vibrate

I tend to not have vibrate on out night especially this phone, the vibrate is quite loud and the curved back doesn't help when the phone is on my bedside cabinet.
I switched to sound only in sound settings but to my surprise it still vibrated when I received a text via stock sms app, I guess the same would happen if I received a whatsapp message.
Does anybody know how to easily turn off ALL App specific vibrate settings in go? Or would I have to go into each individual app to switch it off?
Thanks

Great timing, I was just about to post the same question (if it's an answer you want the best I can offer is "No, I don't think you can, at least I haven't found out how, which is why I'm here").
For me it's the alarm, a nice tune to wake up to is great but it's not so nice when the phone spazzes out and bounces all over the cabinet like a runaway chainsaw (over dramatic, moi?). I've not found anything to turn it off and it's really annoying.

Bit of a design flaw really, surely the overall sound settings should be the master, but a setting should allow you to override it via app, I.e if on it allows app settings to use it's own sound settings if off it goes by the master. Maybe that's expecting too much.

It's worse than that, I don't have vibration switched on for anything, the sound profile is "Normal" (as opposed to Vibrate or Silent) and my in-app settings also have it turned off wherever there's an option to do so but the alarm still sets it off.

I suffer from the same....

I tied to install the GE HD3.2 and it has an option to get the alarm without vibration.
when I switched back to Revolution 20.2 this option disappeared......

Just push the stock GE clock app to your system/app folder and set correct permissions and you can turn vibrate off on any Sense ROM ... Best way is to just flash that app in custom recovery, I will post it if anybody requires.

[Q] Lock screen issues

Whenever I set up my phone with any sort of security, it keeps going back to swipe to unlock. If I try the PIN option, it only asks for a PIN when it first boots up. Once its up and running and I go to lock and unlock the screen, it says swipe to unlock. It does the same when I set up pattern, face, face with voice, pin, and password security. It always just goes back to swipe to unlock. I got this phone for my girl and I'm trying to convince her to switch to Android because she's a avid Apple user and uses PIN on her phone now and it works fine. She'll never accept this new phone if I can't even get this simple feature to work for her. The phone is stock no root nothing. All I did was throw some apps in for her. Am I missing something here? This works fine on my LG Optimus G Pro that's rooted but I can't for the life of me figure out why it wont work on the Active that's not rooted. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks guys.
Okay it seems to ask for the PIN when I leave the phone idle for a few minutes. Isn't it supposed to work as soon as I lock and unlock? Say I lock the screen and set it down for a sec and decide to pick it back up again to unlock it, shouldn't it ask for the PIN right away? If I don't give it time it doesn't bother asking to verify PIN. This phone is great and I'm so tempted to get a regular S4 for myself but issues like this irritate me to no end.

Go into Settings > Lock Screen > set it up how you want it > "Secured Lock Time" and check "Immediately"

This is strange, I'd like my phone to do just that. Require a PIN if I leave it locked for an hour, and default to swipe if it's within the hour so I can use lock screen widgets.
Could you get the swipe to appear when you lock it with the power key, or just when you left it for a minute?

From what I understand the timmer on the option my-blue-snog-box mentioned doesn't start till the lockscreen is active so it'll goto the swipe screen if you hit the power button or you leave it sitting and and autolocks.

Do you have Tasker? You can do it with the Secure Settings plugin (might need donate version).

there r 2 settings...screen off timeout and lock timeout after screen off.
the longest lock timeout is 30 minutes.
if the screen is off, pressing the home button before lock timeout will on the screen without any lock, not even swipe.
under settings, screen timeout is under display section while lock timeout is under lock screen section.

Hey @staverton, PM me. I'll make you a Tasker profile (or a little app so you don't need Tasker if you don't have it), but you need to let me know exactly what you want it to do.

Kill the Always On Display

How can I toggle the AOD to be completely off? This is driving me nuts. I'm aware of the settings within the Motion Sense area of settings. The "show when nearby" seems to take, however no matter what I do the clock still appears no matter what as an AOD. I've tried disabling the following in different combinations to no avail:
Motion Sense
com.google.oslo
Pixel Ambient Services
com.google.intelligence.sense
Motion Sense Bridge
com.google.android.apps.motionsense.bridge
Even tried the clock app itself
com.google.android.deskclock
Whenever these are initially disabled it seems to work for a minute or so but then the clock pops back up on the AOD. I just want the toggles to work! This is for when I'm driving and my my phone is mounted where it faces me. I already have 2 clocks in my car and don't need a third it's more of an annoyance than anything else.

Do you have Always On disabled in the Lock Screen settings?

Display>Lock Screen Display>Always on

Search for "always on" in settings and turn it off

display / lockscreen / always on - does not exist
Searching for "always on" yields no results.
I don't have a lock screen set as I don't need it, though I did try setting one temporarily to see if the option showed up, but nothing. That's how I used to do it on my note but they moved everything around on 10.

You really don't have always on under..settings/display/advanced/lock screen display....then scroll to the bottom??

Display, scroll all the way to the bottom, select lock screen display, bottom third of the screen you'll see Always on, toggle it off. You can still have it light up by tapping, lifting, or triggered by soli, in any combination if you wish.
edit.. Ninja'ed me Badge, it's there, he just missed it.

It's probably because you went around disabling apps. Enable the Pixel ambient Services.

With everything re-enabled and a hard reboot, I set a screen lock. Then went back to display and the "lockscreen" option was now available. I turned off AOD and then disabled the screen lock and it took. No more clock.
It seems as though the AOD toggle being buried in the lock screen options, which is only available when one is on will take no matter of a lock screen is set. So every time I want to change this I have to go through this process. I wish there was a Quick Settings shortcut for this.

Well it's not exactly meant to be toggled on and off often like the ones in the Quick Settings pulldown menu. The easiest and quickest way is just searching "Always on" in settings and you can actually toggle it right there as seen in the screenshot.

Also if you are not using the active edge for anything critical you might try button mapper by flar2 and see if one of the options can be set to it. Or maybe even on of the other options in his app will apply it.

I don't now and have never had a lock screen enabled on my phone and can and have always been able to enable or disable always on display. Unless you disabled some app affecting this as mentioned above it should be there for you too just as it is for the rest of us. You may want to look into that and see what's hanging you up.

I haven't been able to do it since it was virgin out of the box, the option just isn't there. Doing it on my old Note 8 was super easy it was right where it was supposed to be. Although I have found a workaround for anyone on the off chance I'm not the only one experiencing this.
Being rooted, I downloaded ShortcutMaster and used the app explorer and poked around until I found;
[Setup Wizard]
com.google.android.pixel.setupwizard
tap and scroll down to;
com.google.android.pixel.setupwizard.alwaysondisplay.AlwaysOnDisplayOptInActivity
Choosing [launch] triggers the screen from inital setup to toggle the AOD.
Set it as favorite, or Homescreen (on the paid version)
Launch Shortcut master each time to change it or use the homescreen icon shortcut.
The setting seems to take each time I've done it so far.
