I'm having a small bug that when I receive an email notification, I will click the notification, read my email. Then I'll press the home button and the notification will remain until I go to the home of the gmail app or I clear the notifications. Anyone have this, or know of a fix?

Yeah i complained about this a while ago. I havent found any fix for it, maybe rooting could help but im not into that. Perhaps Froyo will address some of the minor yet annoying bugs like this. With so many rumored awesome feature additions coming up, I sure hope that minor bug fixes are not getting overlooked.
Yes I hope so too.

I'm pretty sure this is because when the mail is still open, it is still "unread". So by hitting the home key you leave gmail in the state it was in, with the mail still new. I think if you hit back instead of home, it'll get rid of the notification. Just a guess though.

But this is different behaviour than earlier versions of Android.
Definitely on 1.6 & 1.5 the GMail app cleared off the notification as soon as you looked at the email. Which is the behaviour lots of people are used to, so although minor, this bug is very annoying.

it's been couple of days, there must be an app allowing us to do whatever we want with the trackball, already?
Blink does it
No it doesn't. It stays white no matter what I pick.
EDIT: Hmmm people say it does in it's comments section. Must be doing something wrong.

yeah I just tried it and it works great for me, although I wish it had notifications for gmail. It's better than nothing.
It seems it doesn't work for incoming calls, but texts changed fine.
it works only when screen is off. For incoming call, the screen is on and thus it does not show colors.
Ahhhhhhhhh got ya.
yeah the same with me, works partially => delete
But I am quite excited! Blink is quite an old, inactive app and it works! It can be considered as an proof of concept and I can only imagine what active developer can do with this feature.
The developer of Missed Call is already working on it too.
http://twitter.com/missed_Call
Why not support an active xda developer and use Trackball Alert?
Or are you referring to Froyo? You're not specific enough.

Bingo
Gmail Notifier has just been updated and is working for Froyo for new Gmail. There are various other options for SMS, I am using SMS Popup and I believe Blink will handle missed calls among other things......

Trackball Alert looks great, but you have to be rooted and running a modded ROM

No matter what settings I use (Blink, Constantly On, all colors), the test notification never shows any colors.
I received a new email, and I actually got BOTH notifications (default and Gmail Notifier) and the trackball glowed white just as if I didn't have the app installed. I'm rooted on 2.2.
Are the LED colors working for you?

+1 on the GMail Notifier.
Install, turn off GMail's Notification in the App.
Launch GMail Notifier and configure, click test notification and turn off the screen and trackball will light up with the color selected.
As for SMS, Handcent also has been updated for Trackball Colors.

I just turned off default Gmail notifications, opened Gmail Notifier and clicked Test. Still no LED notifications.
Are they working for you guys?

1. If you have 1.3 installed, delete it... It's labeled the OLD VERSION now. Go get the latest version.
2. When you click Test Notification, to see the trackball light up, you have to turn off the screen (hit the power button) BEFORE clearing your notifications.
Works every time for me.

click test and then, without clearing the message, turn the screen off. You should get your color.

I am using the built in email app to connect to my Exchange server and I have my phone with me at work like most people.
What I experience is a message will come in to my mailbox, instantly I get the notification in both Outlook and the N1. I will read the message in Outlook, decide to keep it (mark it as unread)/delete it (move it to deleted items) and the N1 will keep notifying me via Trackball glow that I have an unread message even though I've read it.
If I read or delete a message on the N1 it is always pushed back to the Exchange server (and consequently Outlook) immediately.
Anyone else experience this? It is okay when I am not near Outlook, but when I'm in the office it is very annoying to be alerted about messages that I've already read or deleted.
This type of behavior is not happening on my iPhone 3GS when I had it connected and this type of behavior does not happen for my GMail account on the N1.
I actually believe the update to a message from read to unread may actually get pushed to the device they just don't clear the notification. I can confirm this by going in to the mail app and I noticed all the changes I've made are up to date.
The issue seems to be that the notifications won't auto-clear on the N1 once the changes have already been pushed to the phone. This really sucks
Can anyone confirm my findings? Thanks
I can also confirm this. The notification has to be cleared manually. Once the notification is there it's there until you acknowledge it.
Froyo, Desire, they all do that. Notification doesn't clear automatically apparently. Would be nice if it did. Once a check of unread/read is done, just clear the alerts once open/moved etc..

Google Mail notifications will clear automatically so it is definitely something they left out inadvertently. I hope they can fix it soon.
I switched back to my iPhone for the time being because of this. Does anyone know if there have been any attempts to fix this issue in 2.3?
Thanks.
Hey,
Just picked up a Note 3 through work, and have it connected via ActiveSync to my work's exchange server.
I used to have a GNEX with the same configuration, so I know this problem is due to the new device.
When I receive an email, and hit Reply All, it includes me on the response - but on my GNEX, this was never the issue, it would only reply to the other people in the email thread.
Does anyone know what the deal is with this? Am I missing a setting somewhere (I honestly don't know where everything is, with this ****ty TW layout).
Any help is appreciated.

You need to go into the email app and settings. Click on your email account you want to edit and look for it.

Yeah, been there, done that.
There's a "Make Reply-All the default" option, but that's about it.
2 attached files show the problem in action.

I can't find it as well. This is weird. When I hit the two arrows at the bottom (Reply to all)
It does not include me. You don't have that "Make Reply-All" checked right? If so, I would take that off.
When reading an email, at the bottom you should have multiple buttons to use.
One back arrow for reply
Two back arrows together for reply all
One forward arrow to forward emails
The trash can looking icon
and last, next and back icon to go between emails quicker.
This is whats on all my emails when opened and I have no issues at all.

yes, Make Reply-All The Default is checked. even without it though, i get the same problem.
interestingly enough, this also happens in Gmail.
just did a factory reset, going to see if that changes anything.

OK, a factory reset solved it in both Email and Gmail.
In the Samsung Email app, if you go into Settings and pick Show More Settings, there is a "Auto CC/BCC" option. Strangely enough, this was unchecked (set to None) while this strangeness was happening.
Factory reset, then flashed the 4.4 Email and Exchange apks, then added my work account. Still experienced the same "Reply-All-Includes-Me" issue in 4.4 Email, didn't check Gmail. Added my work account to the Samsung Email app, and the problem disappeared. Deleted my account from the Samsung Email app, and now the 4.4 Email app is working properly.
Thanks for your help with this, it's greatly appreciated.

After the most recent gear update I am having the same problem... Ill get a text or email and viewing with the phone or the watch it still stays in the notification area of the watch. I keep having to select the category and then hitting the select all button, and then delete all. Rather annoying and counterintuitive.

think i might have sorted it, i was using mighty text on my phone, when deleted things are working as they should
So why is it when I have hangouts open it doesn't notify me of a incoming message but if I leave the app it works as intended. This is a really annoying bug that persist across all ROMs I've tried. Nothing more frustrating than texting and coming back an hour later and having missed texts with notifications yet had I backed out of the app or pressed the home button it would have worked just fine. Is there a setting I am missing somewhere???? Thanks.
it's not a bug, it's by design.
do you really want to be notified that a message that you're already reading has been delivered? what would be the point? seems kind of redundant to me

I tend to agree with the OP. More than once I've sent a text and put my phone down without leaving Hangouts. Then when I pick it up at some later point I see I received a text back without any notification.

You're correct if you still have the phone in your hand and are looking at it. Unfortunately, if I forget to switch away from the app when I put the phone down, I don't always remember to check for a reply. (I'm an old guy). [emoji1]

This. I'll text someone and set my phone down and continue working. Only to pick it up an hour later and see I received a text an hour ago. Maybe some find it redundant but I sure don't. Wish this was a simple on/off that could be changed in the settings.
It wasn't like this in KK though. Whether it outright notified you or not I cannot remember, but I never missed texts in open windows like I do in LP. Odd......
It is a bug, in that it should provide the notification *if the screen is off*.
This has been driving me batty... I can't believe it's not sending notifications when the screen is off. If there were a choice I would prefer all notifications all the time over a broken feature.
