anyone else having issues with the ring tone or notifications for gmail?
I've set them up and every once in awhile i'll notice i'll get an email but no notification, when i go back into gmail notification nothing is selected and the same is true for my ringtone. I believe it has something to do when i connect my phone to my computer and the phone has to re-prepare the sd card but i'm not sure. Anyone else encountering this problem?

I noticed today that my phone does not vibrate on notifications. When I put it in silent mode, it will vibrate for phone calls but not for any other notification such as SMS, Google Voice, etc. Anyone else having this issue?
EDIT...hopefully this will help someone. After reading the forum for a bit I found a reference to the Sound Manager app. I downloaded it and checked the settings. For whatever reason, vibrate for notifications for turned off on my phone. The strange thing is, I cant find this setting anywhere. Under notifications, all I have is the option to change the ringtone. After turning vibrate on in Sound Manager, everything works. So my question is, why isnt there a vibrate on notification setting in my phone?
settings-->sound-->vibration-->always.

Unfortunately, that did not fix the issue for me. I tried every possible setting in sound>>vibration and could not get vibrate to work for notifications.
Mine works flawlessly.
Does anyone else have an issue with this app whereby:
I have all of the notifications turned off but do have it set to push new email to the phone.
When i get a new email it flashes the notification light!!! Even though i have all of the notification alerts turned off.
I'm not sure will check next time and post back.
I noticed this before I rooted my phone and it is starting to bug me. I have already check roaming notifications and all are off. What happens is at random times I get a doorbell sound from my phone and the notification light blinks. No notification are displayed, no gmail, no email, no text message. Does anyone have a clue what is causing this notification, and if so how do I disable it?

Do you have Yahoo Mail installed? You can tell it to not put notification in the toolbar but it'll still make the sound and flash the notification light. It's default sound kind of sounds like a doorbell. For me that mail account gets a lot of junk so I don't want to be notified I have mail unless I manually check. Overall I hate that app and with my new EVO I just use HTC's email application.
I get the same thing and it happens when I go into roam, no matter what roaming notification settings I turn off. I posted this issue in other forums and haven't had any luck. My next step is to install stock ROM and see if maybe there's just something on the software side screwed up.

You are correct it was yahoo mail. I had turned off notifications but did not turn off sound. Thanks for your help.
Glad I could help. I had the same exact issue on my OG evo after Yahoo updated that app.
So a few hours ago i stopped receiving any kind of sound when getting SMS and Emails when the phone LOCKED. It will only vibrate. I have done a reset and double checked all audio notification settings under Personalize and i am still having this issue. Anyone else experiencing this problem?
I love Steve's AOKP PUB Rom but I seem to have one really irritating issue upon using it. I set my ringtone and notification sounds to the ones i always use. Pyxis for Ringtone, and Don't Panic for notifications. Then i noticed that i was not hearing the sounds during incoming phone calls and texts. So i go into the sound setting to see whats up and they both have unrecognized sounds listed. When i try to re-establish the original setting all the choices are gone except for 2 or 3 instead of the usual several dozen. If i use Root Explorer to go into the media folder all the ogg files are still present. Sometimes they come back upon a reboot. Sometimes they dont. Anyone else seen this or know whats happening? Thanks.

Same here. I'm back of AOKPBRAVO at the moment because of the sound issues. One thing that helped me a bit was to disable vibrate with ring and have ring only but it still would lose the ringtone and on calls the screen would light up and i had missed calls because the ringtone wouldn't be recognized.
I have noticed this same issue and believe I have found a work around for the problem. First take off the Vibrate on incoming calls. Then in the root of your sdcard there is a ringtones folder. Make sure that the ringtone is in that folder. With some of these new roms, they will only play ringtones that are in that folder plus the default that the developer chooses. Go into contacts and set the ringtone for the contact. First I would do it as a test ringtone on a number you can call from. If you have the same ringtone for multiple people then you have to make a new copy of that file. It will only play it for the last contact you assign it too. That is how I cleared my troubles with it. Hope this works out for you.
