screen randomly turning on when recieving texts

When I was using the stock Message + that comes with the phone on Verizon, whenever I would get a text and the phone screen was off, it would turn on automatically. this got really annoying as a LED indication that I have a message is more than enough. I even tried turning off all notifications and it was still happening. I switched to other SMS text apps, and it seems to have resolved the screen coming on, but the LED light doesn't light up, so now I wont know when I'm getting messages. Today I have also noticed when not even getting any notification the screen will randomly turn on the lock screen. What is wrong with this phone?

if you've gone to 3rd party messaging apps, you may have to get in the app settings to select notifications.
