[Q] Gmail social/promo notifications - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I've just upgraded to an N6 from the HTC M7 and having a small issue with gmail and the notifications. I get a notification sound and icon when something comes into the primary tab/label. I do not get any notifications/sounds when something comes into the Social or Promotion tabs. This is how my M7 functions.
I have checked the settings for gmail under both General Settings and the [email protected] which has Notifications and Inbox Sound & Vibrate (Label notifications, sounds, vibrate and notify for every message enabled). I've compared these against that of the M7 and they are like for like.
Right now, the Nexus is completely stock and gmail is v5.0.1 (1642443).
Any help/suggestions as to what I've done wrong would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Eyeloose

[Q] Gmail notifications

Hello all,
I recently noticed that email notifications don't work;
I hear the new email sound, I see the new email icon(in the notifications bar) for a split of a second and then it disappears immediately...
I checked the gmail app notification settings and it appears to be correct "Notifications" are checked, and also "Notify for every message".
I think it all started about when I updated to Lollipop.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
I'm using:
HTC One M7,
Android Ver. 5.0.2
Sense 6.0
No ROMS, never ROOTed my device.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks ahead,

[Q] Facebook app - no sound for notifications

This is driving me mad. Brand new 64GB Nexus 6 running stock 5.1 (47D). All notifications are working fine (Gmail, Fenix, various news apps) except for Facebook where I'm getting notifications but no accompanying sound (whatever ringtone I assign in the Facebook app settings). If I turn on vibrate in the FB notification settings then I get the vibrate - it's just the sound that's not happening.
I've deleted the FB app cache; I've even completely uninstalled it and reinstalled it. Checked all settings and they are identical to my GF's on her 32GB Nexus 6 and she does get sound with FB notifications.
Not sure what to try next.
I'm having the same problem. No matter what sound I choose, it won't work. Only vibrates. I have even reset my phone and it still doesn't work. I have a Nexus 6, stock, running marshmallow, no root. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks!
Issue might be because of facebook notification sound is very short(damn ascending volume) and also for some reason Facebook itself is the issue(adding more delay to ascending volume or something else). For myself I let lightflow take care of notification sounds which some apps are acting like facebook.

Gmail Deletion Notification

Whenever I delete gmail messages through the notification panel, it makes the notification sound as if I'm receiving a new email. I can't figure out how to urn this off while still retaining notification sounds for incoming mail. Am I missing something?
Thanks
Do you have gmail set to confirm before deleting?
No. I doesn't ask for a confirmation, it vibrates a chimes as if I'm getting a new email.
Is nobody else experiencing this?

Messages Notification and Default Notification

Is there a way to have a different Messages notification tone than the default notification tone?
Many thanks!
Same question! I can't even change sound notifications from gmail and google allo?
Same for Twitter lol
Having the same .. would like to have different sound notifications in gmail and messages. I seem to be able to do it in WhatsApp, but everywhere else it use system default sound
It is extremely extremely annoying. To solve this, I am using Textra instead of stock messages. You might like it and it has , of course, the option of changing the sound. I wouldnt even consider that a 2018 flagship doesnt have that option...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can change the notification sounds in Gmail. I have three email accounts setup in the Gmail app.
Goto:-
- Gmail settings
- General settings
- Manage notifications
- Click the text area that says 'Normal: Allow these notifications to make sounds' (not the button)
- Sound
Thanks, havent found that before

[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...
