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
Hey there,
I am not sure when I actually lost it, but my phone is not displaying SMS when they come from my provider's voicemail in order to inform me about missed calls. I know they somehow come through as I use a web synchronisation (MightySMS) that displays the messages that arrive at my phone, including voicemail notifications via SMS (not Visual Voicemail, of course). This is both with the standard and a custom SMS app. The last SMS notification of a voicemail I can find on my device is from Oct 2013. Is this some known problem, maybe with Android 4.4? I don't suppose it's 4.4 since we didn't have had 4.4 back in October last year, as far as I remember. Any thoughts?
Edit: I am running Carbon, a CM11-based ROM, but had this before on other CM11 and possibly Sense ROMs.

Is there no-one with an idea or the same problem? Since they go through on my online sync I'd assume they arrive at the phone, but are never shown, so I'd rule out a problem with my carrier.
I am getting almost zero email notifications on the watch. I will occasionally get the list of emails (useless) type notification and then just a few individual emails about 2 hours after I received them. No idea what the issue is.

which phone are you using. is your phone received the mail notification? do note that your g watch notification is tied to your phone..check your phone and see what is your sync frequency.
Downloaded an app call WearMail that is definitely improving things but for some reason doesn't include an option for Outlook mail.
You know, after getting 300 email notifications on my watch, 98% of which I don't care about, I decided to disable email notifications completely. I mean, whats the point? I can just check my phone from time to time. The call and sms notifications are the ones I'm really interested in.
I finally took the plunge and upgraded to Build NW01.170623.001 (I was previously on Android Wear 1.5). Following the upgrade my Gmail notifications have stopped, even though I have the Gmail app turned on for notifications in the Android Wear app on my phone. I'm not sure if any other apps are sending notifications yet. I do get a notification when I get an incoming call, so there is some communication with the phone.
Any idea how I can get my Gmail notifications back?
I'm going to be specific as I see so many answers that circle my problem, yet don't quite nail a solution for me.
DEETS:
Samsung 21S Ultra
Verizon
All the Icon's that pop up in the Notifications Bar for Email, Gmail, Text, WhatsApp, Instagratis and others work just as they're supposed to .... EXCEPT Calendar.
I get the Email/Gmail that a Calendar event has arrived, but nothing on the Notification Bar.
I go into Settings ---> Calendar ---> and see the options for: Show Notifications and it's turned to the "On" position along with: General Notifications/Ringtone Notifications/Other Notifications/App icon badges ... HOWEVER ... the "Show Notifications line is highlighted in Blue as if it's going to be "Copied", and although the switch is turned to "On", it's still in Gray-Scale and not in color.
In addition, the Ringtone Notification line is marked as "On" ... but it's also in Gray Scale and not in Color.
Why is this happening?
What can I do to fix this issue?
Please help!

Which calendar app are you using? The Samsung and Google apps have the same name, Calendar.
Can you clarify your particular issue - is the problem that you aren't receiving a particular type of notification? Is the problem that you cannot configure the notification settings? Is it both of these issues?
The description includes mention of receiving a calendar event, but it's phrased in a way that suggests a problem there. However, my understanding is that's the intended behavior. You don't get a calendar notification when you receive an email containing the calendar appointment. That email just causes the event to be added to your calendar, so there is no reason to be notified of that. Rather, you can add notifications to the event itself, and those will trigger when the scheduled time arrives. Is that the entirety of your issue?

Hi KingFatty,
Using the Google Calendar App.
It's seems you understood the problem correctly: I would get an email, but no Calendar Notification in the Notification Bar at the top of the screen. But I don't understand why you think I shouldn't get both. My email has always been separate from my Notification Bar and the rational is obvious ... one is an email to which can be accessed from anywhere and anyone who has access to my emails (secretary/assistant/etc) ... and the other is my phone which no one but me has access to ... so, this way if the email is opened, the notification that an email has arrived and is unopened disappears (see reasons above), yet if the Notification of a Calendar Event was displayed in my Notification Bar, I would still be notified there is an event in my Calendar.
This may not seem that important to you, but for the last 14 years, this is a system that has been working flawlessly and efficiently for my staff and I to sync perfectly and harmoniously.
UPDATE:
I have found a way to get the Calendar Notification to work as is has before I upgraded (not an upgrade as far as I'm concerned, Samsung has **** the bed with this "Ultra") ... and that is to dumb-down the notifications to it's lowest level and change two settings.
As I acclimate myself back to Samsung from LG ... I am getting the gist there is a language conversion/translation issue at play here, more than the things the phone is/isn't doing and/or can't be easily remedied.
If it wasn't for YouTube, this would still be an issue.
Thank you for attempting to offer help KingFatty. It is appreciated.
Regards,
Gregory
It's still uncertain to me - can you clarify what is the calendar notification you want to receive (e.g., in the notification bar at top of screen)?
I offered some speculation to try to illustrate the ambiguity.
But at this point, it sounds like you want to receive a calendar notification to let you know that your calendar has been modified?
Like, if I sent you a calendar meeting today, scheduling us to meet next week, you would want to get a calendar notification today, upon receiving the meeting? You will get whatever Calendar notifications I've set up in the meeting, which usually I like to set two: 1 hour in advance, and 15 minutes in advance. For some appointments I set three: 1 day in advance, 1 hour in advance, 15 minutes in advance. Those types of calendar notifications would come through, but it would happen next week, when we are supposed to meet. Calendar would trigger and send you those notifications.
But think about *how* did I send you that calendar meeting? How did you receive it? For the answer, it's sent and received via email. Google takes it upon itself to automatically add that calendar meeting to your calendar, upon gmail receiving the email without you even opening the email itself.
So that's the crux as far as I can see it: are you desiring that your calendar generates a notification when Google takes it upon itself to add the meeting to your calendar?

Thanks for your concern.
It doesn't matter whether the notification was about a meeting you're scheduling through an email link, my staff added something to my calendar, or there was something already on the calendar ... I was having an issue with getting a Calendar Notification Icon in my Status Bar.
As stated, I've found a solution, so I'm going to bail out of this volley.
Please see the other discussion in this thread - there is an issue with Google Calendar notifications being missed. The cause is unknown, it seems sporadic.
This problem is back again!
Calendar Notifications are an essential part of most people's day ... and Samsung can't get it right?????
I am hating this phone more and more every day!
Video Call Effects doesn't give me options other S21 Ultra's have ... and several other Samsung Apps are either faulty or incomplete. The new update hasn't done anything to help these issues either.
It's as if they (Samsung/Verizon) want you to go to Apple! LOLOL
