Screen turns on with messages/allerts but I wish it didn't

[zsilak]

Hi,

I tried to search the older threads but it couldn't find anything.

Could someone tell me how I could stop my phone to turn on when I get a new message or a reminder? And how can I turn off the screen when listening to mp3's on media player?

Thanks!

"I could stop my phone to turn on when I get a new message or a reminder" <-- this is a bit difficult, but tell us your concern and there may be ways around the problem.

Media player, on the playing screen,
Menu -> Options -> Buttons[Tab] -> Toggle Screen
Assign a button for Toggle screen to switch it off.

I mean when my phone is in my pocket and it reminds me of an appointment or an incoming message the screen turns on. I would like the screen remain off and just get an audio warning.

In events and notifications .. have you tried to set the alert to audio notifications .. and dont select the other visible options .. Will that be sufficient?

Has anyone figured out how to prevent the screen from turning on. I place it in my pocket (with Device Lock) and an event/notification turns the screen on but I have it set off.

Is there some master switch to say only turn screen on with the button push?

Yessir-
Go to Settings->Sounds And Notifications -> after selecting the triggger you want (new email, sms, mms, etc.) then untick the box that says 'display on screen' or something like that. Then the noise will sound, light goes amber, and vibrate still work, but wont trigger the screen to turn on in order to display the message. I use this method for emails, but let sms show up on screen so I can read them w/o going into palm messaging app...
