Annoyed that your phone doesn't light up when you receive a text? Just install this nifty little app! This tiny little program runs in the background and awakes your phone for a few seconds to alert you of a new text message.
Completely no frills, no ads, and no annoying pop-ups!(Pop-ups now optional. Pro version lets you view the text message in native app with 1 click)
Now works with Hangouts, GO SMS, Handcent, and other 3rd party clients! If you are having trouble getting it to work with these clients, try uninstalling and re-installing THAT app (NOT THIS ONE). The way android handles notification priorities is based on which app was installed first. I apologize for the inconvenience, but there is nothing I can do on my end.
If you like the app, download the pro version here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dberm22.SMSWakeUpPro
More pop-up settings, messaging shortcut, no donate message, and a sense of pride for helping out a struggling small-time dev. I am also currently working on getting it to work with email and gchat.
If you have any suggestions for features, feel free to email me at [email protected].

So I downloaded this application, and yeah my phone turns on, but i wish it would just turn the screen on and show me some or all of the message. If this can be a fix, I will regret uninstalling this app.
Works well does what it says. Only problem is no matter what duration I choose for screen light up time it's always 7 seconds, not a big deal but still would be a nice improvement if it was fixed
It does exactly what it supposed to, and I highly recommend it for every phone, where the screen doesn't automatically turn on for incoming SMSs. As for pop-up notifications - they can be easily turned off in app settings!
Finally! Switched phones and the other app I was using no longer exists and I'm glad I found this one. I like the screen wake because unlike the flash one, this doesn't cause seizures. Lbs I definitely recommend it. Thanks guys.
I don't know why Android doesn't come w this feature built in, but I've been using this app for years. A+ works great!
App does what it says but the free version turns me off paying due to the pop ups you have to repeatedly close half a dozen times before you can view the message.
I currently purchased a LG transpyre and the screen wouldn't light up when I got a text it would just vibrate or make a sound. Thanks to this my screen lights up!!!! Thank you so much
It works fine but it drains my battery. Then it deactivate when it's charging
Simple, and does what it says. Phone lights up when a text is received.
I downloaded it and forgot it even existed. It works perfectly.
I've been looking for an app which does this. Works perfectly
Ask questions when it wakes the phone up.
Works how I thought it would
Excellent app, does exactly what it says on the tin lol
Very useful and much needed app...
It's easy, it's straightforward, it works. Enough said!
Do what it's supposed to do. What else can we want? :)
Exactly what I need !!

Since the latest android 4.3 update, when I receive a text message my phone doesn't turn on it only buzzes. I just downloaded this program and sent myself a test text and it worked. It turned on my screen so I could see that I received a text message. I don't normally write reviews, but this one solved my problem and I am very grateful. Thanks!
Been looking for something like this for ages, so I can quickly see who has messaged me. Thank you so much. I use Contacts+ as my default messaging app along with dash notifier if anyone wonders if it works with it.
I am highly satisfied by this app for its purpose. But it does not light up for how many seconds we tell it to. It lights up and comes in the lock screen state, like when we press power button. But then it stays up for like 10 seconds, so I have set the minimum "screen on" time 0.5 seconds, as the lock screen already takes its time. But I don't have any problem with this :) Sometimes it lights up the screen and waits 3-5 seconds before I actually get the sms notification. This makes me pick up the phone only to see that the incoming message is still on its way. Phone: HTC Sensation, 4.0.3 stock ROM.
Wakes up my screen about 20 seconds way before the message is actually received. Dislike that, but functions very well.
Not happy at all with app. Describes exactly what I'm looking for even purchased it, but keeps telling me to go pro. And yes I've uninstalled and reinstalled. Would like refund and uninstalling
I couldn't stand that my Galaxy S3 screen wouldn't turn on with a text. I like to be able to glance down to see who was calling. I tried several apps that claimed they would do it, but they just didn't work right. This one worked perfect!
Great app, does what it says, but interferes with an already buggy HTC M8 LED notification alert light. When I install this app, the light notifications from my LED stop working.
Im planning to purchase it since its exactly what im finding; an app that lights up my phone even in silent. But it keeps deactivating itself whenever i charge my phone or restart. Like screen up time is 9s but when charging or after charging it goes down to a second. Even with the flashing screen option ticked.
