Email Notifications

Hello guys,
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I did a google search and couldfind anything like my problem below.
On my TITN II, email notifications work only if "Messaging" (the email application) is not the active task. This is fine, but in many ocasions I receive an email, read it, and leave messaging open. What happens is that then a new email comes in and I do not get the notifications.
Not a big deal, but it's kind of annoying, as it requires a discipline to always close messaging, that I don't have.
I wonder if there's any trick or hack I can do to be always notified when a new email comes in, regardless whether messaging is open or not.
Thanks,
Luis

Anyone experience this issue with Exchange on 2.2?

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.

[Q] Does your phone ever mix up contacts (when receiving sms)?

Something really odd just happened.
I got a text from my buddy Aaron.
Opened up my SMS, and it showed another contact's picture and phone number when looking at the thread. but when I went back to the list of sms threads, it would show Aaron's phone number (not connected to his contact, no picture, no name etc)...
If I clicked on it and went back into the thread, again another contacts name and phone number and picture
wtf ?!?!
So I deleted the sms thread. Went into contacts, and swiped left on Aaron's contact to text him, when in the sms typing area, it only shows his phone number and fails to connect his number to his actual contact.
When I call Aaron from my contacts though, it does show his picture ...
is this sort of thing a common occurance ?
All my contacts are sync'd with exchange (corporate) and most of them are linked to facebook.
I've got no contacts on my sim, or entered into the phone memory itself.
I also noticed that when using a 3rd party sms app, the texts don't get linked up to the contacts, so it would only show the numbers.
pda:I9000UGJG9
phone:I9000UGJG9
csc:I9000BMCJG9
bell phone running on fido

i have not seen the error yet
but now that i know, i might not be surprised if it does happens

wow .. honestly that sort of thing is pretty unacceptable on any phone..

This happened to me yesterday! Any ideas on what causes it?

Ya i ve d same problm. anything can be done abt this?

This has been discussed many times before, its generally down to having other SMS applications on your device, ie Handscent.
this happened when i coded my own SMS app, left it installed on my phone for a few days and open the conversation to my mate and had all the msgs from my girlfriend in it...

Lol.. It actually happened to me a couple of time. Thankfully it solves itself when I hit the back button
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

it happens me several times on 2 of 4 galaxys. this is totaly unacceptable offcourse. if this isnt fixed on froyo I have a galaxy for sale.

Which firmwares, and is this firmware you are using a final version?

It does it for me quite regularly, and I've never installed any other SMS apps. Bog standard JF3, never flashed, nothing.
It was also one of the first things my friend mentioned to me about his new Galaxy S, which hadn't even had a single app of any kind downloaded at the time.
Believe me, it's very weird to have a text apparently from your best male friend telling you how much they love you after the phone gets the name confused with your girlfriend.
Weeeeirdness.

guys, you do know this issue is just a SMS software bug eh?
have you guys tried using ChompSMS (freebie)
that will prevent the problem of mixing contacts

me had this problem before but not anymore when i flash the i9000ZSJP2 firmware..... try it...

SMS problem yes, but Mail too!
I have had this problem with SMS a couple of times, but more serious and more frequent: Exchange mail mixes up, I get maibodies under wrong subject! I am using standard SGS Exchange client. Any other seen this?

Yup it sure is and i can confirm it on the firmware jpjg8
iv been recieving a lot of sms's and on the notification it gives me some random contact name but once opened it correctly goes back to the original sender with the text. i havn't tried using a diff sms app as im pretty happy with the stock 1 in use.
as for a fix , i found out that a big list of contacts and sms's do confuse the phone and try as much as possible to keep it as small as possible but id love to keep those sms's / mms's , so still no real fix T_T

bump .. me also haveing the same problem. contacts name in the notification is displayed wrong ..but it corrects itself when i open the sms.
using another app solved it

i switch to use Handcent SMS, much better than ChompSMS
i never really noticed if there was a problem with SMS getting mixed up
must have been an older bug on the older firmwares

I Have the same problem as the two people below.
I'll get a new text message, and it will show up on the notifications bar as from some random person, and i'll get another text from the same person and the notification will show another random name. They seem to be names of people that have previously sent me a message, but it is quite strange... It only started happening recently, so maybe it is an app or something conflicting?
The only things that come to mind are the LauncherPro messaging widget that i've been putting on one of my homescreens.
I'm running
Firmware 2.1-upadate1
I9000UGJH2
ECLAIR.UGJH2
rooted and running one click lag fix
also running trillian in the background, as well as beautiful widgets wheather.
can you guys post some info on what you are running so that maybe we can find a cause for this?

I experience the same on my desire z with htc's default app.
Is the a solution for this?
I find custom flashing and limiting the number of contacts ridiculously lame - no offence, but these bare not $10 devices

I had this bug on 2.1. I had no other text app installed so put it down to an eclair/rom version bug. Mine would also text the wrong people if it had got the contacts mixed. Best fix for me was a reboot.
I'm on Froyo now and no sign of it so far......fingers crossed

This very same thing is happening to me now. Called my carrier but they couldn't help. Hoping to find a solution here.

Facebook Notifications not working? Possible real Fix...

Hello.
I was having trouble with the facebook notifications not working in 1.5.2.
I tried to uninstall/install the app
Clear cache
Installed 1.5.0
Re-flash ROM
etc etc etc...
And nothing worked.
I logged with a friends Facebook account in my Captivate and Push notifications were working !!
I re-logged to with my account and notifications still not working, so WTF?
So I started to mess around with the Facebook settings, privacy etc, and nothing helped to receive push notifications...
Until I deactivated my account and re-activated, and now I have notifications back! Is like a hidden setting in facebook that tells if push notifications are enable/disable, and after re-activating my account in some way is restores it, no idea but is working now...
If you have this problem, give it a try!
To deactivate: Account->Account Settings->Deactivate Account
To Activate: just log in.
Best Regards

Trying it now ... I've tried everything else... hope this works ...
EDIT: HOLY MONKEYS BATMAN IT WORKED! I'VE HAD MY DINC FOR 7 MONTHS NOW, WITH PROBABLY 12 DIFFERENT ROMS, AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS EVER EVER WORKED! Thankyou!
Details:
I just flashed the newest version of Magnolia with Clockwork 3.x. Clean slate wipe (other than sd).
I deleted the old version of fb that came with the rom (just from the app list in settings), cleared all data from that....DID NOT set up facebook for HTC Sense when doing original setup of phone right after reflash.....
Logged onto FB from my pc, deactivated, waited until I got the email, then logged in again.
DL latest FB from the market and set it up, asked someone to comment on a status, and voila, fb started notifying me EVERY TIME someone did, not just every 30 mins like the settings show...
YAYAYAYAY!! I'm so happy now! I'm gonna pass the word along.
Thank you!

Did it work for you?

Yes - see above edited post!

Or just log in to fb, register phone and check boxes to receive SMS alerts. Faster than the 1 hour intervals.

My notifications are popping up in real-time. The only thing that goes once hourly is messages or friend requests, as far as I can tell. I'm watching my facebook on my computer and my phone alerts me nearly at the same moment my pc does.

umm... ??
deactivate my facebook account? message posted day before april fools day...
something doesnt add up

You can do that without deleting your profile. I hear of people deactivating it everytime they log off for privacy concerns. When deactivated you dont show up on any of your friends pages or searches. Just log on to reactivate, you'll get an email welcoming you back.

you dont loose anything?

Nope. Not that I know of. Check out cnn story. http://articles.cnn.com/2010-11-12/...ngs-new-facebook-facebook-accounts?_s=PM:TECH

Thanks for answering and if this is a big problem being encountered by many users, why is it not being discussed?

Thanks for replying. I have been able to get the above and implement it, but i am facing 2 issues -
1) I get the same sound notifications for all my Gmail accounts, i just see my primary account for auto syncing . How to correct this.
2) In speak text, i have written Gmail. Macrodriod repeats/speaks "Gmail" twice or more times.
Please advise. Again, thanks for your help.

Finally switched to Blue mail and everything is almost perfect now, though as per what i read, my information may be compromised.
I am getting instant mails and notifications now, much better than my notifications of gmail on this & other mobile.

Just been having this same issue for months on my Canadian Note 8 and it's been since the June 1 security patch update. Gmail is delayed (seen upwards of a bit more than an hour), Samsung's default Messages app sometimes is delayed as well (but if I have my Gear S3 on the text will come through on that but not my phone which is weird AF) and then a couple authenticator apps that send push notifications also don't come through or are very delayed. It's starting to piss me off and got no help thus far from Samsung. If this isn't fixed soon then it's my last Samsung device I will ever buy.
Forgot to mention, also tried factory reset and still not working (along with now the Messages app is stuck on an older version and won't update so now I can't even use custom notification sounds per thread anymore). Absolutely ridiculous! I know I can sideload the updated version but I shouldn't have to do that, so frustrating!
