Up until yesterday, the pop up screen would always come on, whether the phone was locked or not; it's how I had to do in the settings.

Now, all of a sudden, if the phone is locked, the pop-up screen no longer comes on. The screen turns on, i see the notification in the status bar, but the pop-up screen no longer shows until i unlock and use the pattern to unlock.

I changed nothing at all and the settings are as they were.

Any ideas??

Thx for any help.
 
If you've absolutely verified all settings are identical, I guess I'd try the old reboot or battery pull. If that doesn't work, my guess is a conflict with another app that you've recently added. Not much in the way of a definitive answer but I hope you get things working again. I'd be at a loss without my popups. ;)
I didn't realize how much I count on my pop-ups :eek:..Restart didn't fix it. Had to reinstall.. :(
