Screen wakes when receiving notifications

Cameran209 — Wed, 12 Feb 2025 21:56:05 GMT

Whenever I get a notification my screen turns on for a second before shutting off and it is more annoying than useful but I can't find a way to shut it off. I know that you can use brief notifications to only show the pop up while the screen remains off but I don't like using them while I'm actively using my phone. Please, let me know if there's a way to fix this or how can I request Samsung to add the availability to stop screen wake from notifications.

There is a setting that disables the notifications appearing on the lock screen.

Settings > Notifications > Lock screen and choose show or hide content. Or you can turn it off.

But then I can't see my notifications from the lock screen is the issue with that.

I did this and it still wakes the screen but just doesn't show notifications until I'm off the lock screen

If you choose to hide content you won't be able to know what that notification is about until you unlock the phone.

But that's not what I want. I want notifications on the lock screen I just don't like my screen turning on every time I get a notification

You will have to ask Samsung to put in that feature, since there isn't any way to make that happen.

Hi Cameran209, Welcome to the Community. We understand having the screen wake-up with notifications can be frustrating.

Have you tried the following? Settings>Notifications>Notification pop-up style>Toggle off "Show even while screen is off"

You can send feedback to Samsung using these steps: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Tips-Tricks/How-to-Submit-an-Error-Report/ba-p/3001692

My notifications are set to "Detailed" so that's not the issue, it's with every notification style and even if notifications are off for the lock screen. I will be sending feedback, thank you.

Look at that you can ask the Samsung Moderator to review your suggestion. 😁

Not sure if I'm understanding correctly are you after the card notification on the lock screen if so under the notifications lock screen section select cards and it gives you option of what apps for notification to show on lock screen it took me a couple of days to figure it out. (Now I can see whom texted me what missed calls and my camera notification without unlocking my phone, )

No, I just don't want my screen to wake when I get a new notification.

I have a very similar complaint. I like having notifications on my lock screen, but I just don't like how it fully lights up the screen for notifications. Especially when I'm driving at night time, my screen keeps flashing me and it's very distracting and blinding

Cameran209 — Mon, 17 Feb 2025 00:56:19 GMT

YES EXACTLY. There needs to be a way to disable it!

I've tried to mess with all of my settings by toggling on and off the AOD, and playing with all of the notification settings, and the only "fix" seems to be just disabling the notification completely.... which isn't really much of a fix at all.

Like I said, my biggest issue is that the screen flashing while I'm driving is very distracting, and if I just disabled notifications, it's even more hazardous to get to the info I need quickly while behind the wheel...

Yeah I haven't found any good fixes. Hopefully this reaches the right people and is taken into consideration for future updates because for me it's annoying and very bothering.

I just submitted an official request, and I'm planning on spamming the request, so maybe it will help 🕺

Okay! Let's hope that works!! How do you submit a request?
