[Q] Unable to receive push notifications on my Galaxy S :-( help! - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been able to get push notifications for yahoo mail, and gmail but for facebook I'm never able to get them...I don't know what the problem is. I have installed the android version of the app fromt he market, and have set notifications on through the apps settings. I do get notifications, if I go into the app and click on facebook...(the notification bar on the bottom will have a red popup with the number of notifications) But that is not push right?
Push is where the notification gets sent instantly to your phone, and it comes on your pull down notification menu...So why can't I get this to work...I've tried setting the interval to 30 mins, to 1 hour, to never, nothing works. Please help!!! Btw my Galaxy S is running gingerbread...

Facebook App and Push Notifications

Does anyone know if the push notifications are working?
After I did the trick (access Facebook on a Blackberry) push notifications works, except for messages (which are most important to me), they still continue using the pull notification.
This only happens with me?
And Chat notifications, they appear in the notification bar, but there is no sound or vibration.

What im doing to get push notifications for messages is using Facebook Messenger, but i dont want 2 "equal" apps running....
And i know that the Facebook app really really sucks.

Running GDX v017
the official fb app is getting more and more stupid by the day. i use friendcaster now. maybe u should try it

Email Notification Sound

okay this maybe a dumb question but its sure is annoying. Whenever i get an email the phone led light start to blink and the Email Notification Sound play like it should, but after 10 minutes it plays again and again. Like if i don't touch the phone it will ding every 10 minutes.
Its not an event reminder or alarm as email sounds are very different then anything else and only happens when i don't touch my phone. Like i got an email late last night and it kept dinging all night long until i unlocked the phone and cleared the notification.
Its super annoying, It just play the email notification sound and then let the led blink for 10 minutes but not play notification sound sound every 10 minutes.
Does anyone know how to stop this?

Open you HTC mail client (app drawer and select Mail), hit the menu button > More > Settings (then select your email account) > Notification settings
Now you can uncheck Notification sound
Will it still ding when i first receive the email, I want the sound to play the first time but not every 10 minutes.

Unfortunately, this will take out the sound altogether.
yeah thats what i thought, you guys don't find this weird about the phone?
not sure about the native HTC email program.. but here's how to achieved what you're after using GMAIL appz
/ open up Gmail
/ menu button
/ More-->>Settings-->> Account Settings-->> [email protected]
/ Scroll down to "Labels to notify"
/ select "inbox" then a pop up notification settings box will appear
/ There is an option at the bottom for "notify once"
That will do it
when a new email arrived... you'll get a notification... you get to choose to have SOUNDS/VIBRATE...etc
and subsequence mail arrival won't have any more sounds
Just curious what ROM you're running that's giving you this issue?

I sent an e-mail to my G-Mail account. When it came it, I left it alone to see what would happen. As described in another post, the alert sound occurred only one time. The LED flashed for a while but eventually stopped. I confirmed that the G-Mails allowed a once only notification.
I have had situations occur, but not always, where I will get alerts from both G-Mail and the native HTC e-mail app. However, it did not occur this time. So, I can't say for now what the native e-mail account will do.
I'm running stock ROM and have not had consistent email notifications. I have it set to sound every time I receive an email. But I may hear it only once for several emails and then once for every email received. I may also get a sound for emails that I don't seem to have received.
Just one of those things.
I'm running stock rom and using the native htc email app
Not to mention, it gets frustrating after habitually only reading the SMS from the lockscreen notification.
Any way to change the email notification sound?

Changing it is specific to the application you are using. Check the settings for the application in question. I'm using the Gmail app. The settings for each account has an area for changing the sound and frequency.
Was this issue solved?
I have the same problem with my HTC One S...

For a regular (non-gmail) account (which uses the stock Mail app), I could not find where to set it's specific notification sound... BUT, everything else has its own notification sound setting (GMail, WhatsApp, Text Messaging), so I just go into phone Settings, Sound, and pick a notification sound there (which will play when I get an email in my regular mail). All the other apps have their own sounds assigned, so I guess technically, my Mail has its own sound.
It is under personalize click the sound tab email is there

SNAP. That is so simple. I suck. LOL
Also under the mail app you need to go under settings notification and check the box that says play sounds too

Status Bar not updating

Hi
I'm using the Samsung Mail App and Push Mail via m.google.com (GMAIL). The problem is that the status bar notification isn't updating. As soon as I get an email it pops up, but when I delete the mail in another mail prog like thunderbird, the symbol just stays in the status bar.
On the other hand, the counter pinned to the app itself is working just fine. It's really just the status bar which isn't updating.
It's working fine with the GMAIL app though.
Any idea?
Really no one? Is it working for you guys!?
I've always had that, if I get the mail from my server on my laptop, the notification does not go away. I think it just the way it works.
I agree it is not ideal.
It's certainly not the way it works for the gmail app or HTC. My desire updates the status bar in a matter of seconds...
Also the samsung app counts wrong. It counts every email you got, it doesn't matter if you deleted it on the PC before. So if you got 30 emails over the day in the evening it'll tell you "30 new emails" besides that there is not a new one in the in folder...
Anyone please?
BRRRROTHERS! Help me pls!

Annoying Gear/Gmail Notification Update

Please ignore, I just noticed that this is being discussed with the latest Gear update
With the latest Gear Manager update I get a request to access my Gmail account (I can live with that), but now I receive notifications for EVERY incoming e-mail and not just for my primary inbox as it was in the past. I often don't read notification e-mails and every time I get a new message I get reminded for EVERY unread message on my Gear (vibrates on and on and on).
Does someone know how to revert back to the old notification style or find this update also extremely annoying?
Silly question but how did you set it up to give notifications for Gmail. When I try through gear manager the option is greyed out in the extra notifications section.
Tia
Edit - that's weird I just tried again and now the option is available.

[Q] Gmail Syncing Notification

A few times a day, a Gmail notification appears in the notification area (top of screen) and also as a button on on the icon for the Gmail app. When I expand the notification, all it is for is that Gmail is Syncing. The notification automatically disappears when finished syncing. Is there a way to disable that particular syncing notification? It makes me think that I have a new email, and only way to tell is by viewing the notification, or waiting to see if it disappears.
I think this started happening ever since I added a second account.
I am on updated, stock, un-rooted Android.
Thank you,
try playing with the notifications settings for it - there's one for miscelanious, but it might remove the normal notifications for new mails too...
