I know this should be a simple task but... - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For some reason I keep getting two email notifications, one from yahoo and one from the @ symbol. Under accounts I see my email with the @ symbol so I try pressing remove account but it doesn't do anything so I press on it and im unable to change the username and its blank. Try just entering the password but says I need to enter the username

Open the @email app, go to settings, uncheck notifications. Then you should only get email notifications from your Yahoo app.

You are using the 'Yahoo Mail' app right? The @email app and the Yahoo email app have different settings lists. Uncheck the notification option for whichever one you dont want notifications from, the other should stay checked and continue to notify you. If you are getting duplicate notifications it is because you have told 2 apps to notify you.

All I see is the @email app. Whys that? I still get email notifications from the yahoo app but I can't find the app

I downloaded the app myself, and found it in alphabetical order under M in my app drawer, right next to Google Maps. Its a blue icon w/ an envelope on it. You dont see it?

[Q] Turn off Notifications?

Newbie here, I searched but sorry if this has come up before.
The 3d is my first Android phone - came from Palm Pre minus hell.
How on Earth do you turn off the sound and LED notification of every email / SMS / etc?
I've got the notifications turned off in the Mail app for each of my two accounts, but still get the BLLLIP every frickin' couple minutes.
Thanks!

use volume-down until it's on vibrate
you configure notifications from a given app from the app itself. so when you're in the main scene of an app, hit the menu key & look for Settings>Notifications.

Thanks, but I've already done that. Still get the notifications.
Calendar
I've also noticed that you can't turn on notifications but have vibrate off for the calendar events. I think this is a sense 3.0 thing, as you could do it on the EVO 4G and could do it in some custom sense 2.1 ROMs I ran. Kingdom ROM (sense 3.0) had the same issue. Wish they'd put that back in.
If you're using Gmail under settings there is an option that will only notify you once for unread emails. Once you check your mail and get new messages it'll notify once again for the next new message until you check it.
As for SMS the default app either notifies you on each app or none at all. I checked Go SMS Pro but they don't have an option that only notifies you once like Gmail does.
Edit: I had the Pre minus too, and in Android the main thing is that you use the menu button pretty much the same way in the Pre you hit the upper left corner to get the programs menu.
Thanks
Well, I'm either dumber than usual, or something is wrong.
On the page in Mail settings under "Notifications", "Email Notifications" is un-checked and set to "Off". Still get the frickin' bleep an flashing green LED on every single email.
Not sure what else I can do.
Do you have a gmail or other account. If it's a gmail account when you setup your phone by default your gmail is in the gmail app. If you setup your gmail account in the email app remove it from there and only deal with it in one place which the gmail app is the best place for it.

Aha! I was using an app labeled "Mail" which was on the first page of the home screen (or whatever the proper term is), NOT the "Gmail" app . The Gmail app also has Notification settings. How confusing.
That took care of it. Thanks a bunch!

PostRoot GMail AutoSync

Just a point I want to make for anyone out there who is as clueless as me:
After rooting, I found that GMail would not autosync. It instructed me to enable autosyncing in settings; however, the settings menu (B&N Style) didn't have the usual menus, and the settings accessible through GMail also didn't help. Eventually, I figured out that you need to click your e-mail in the top right-hand corner, go into menu, click account settings, click GMail under Manage Accounts, and check off the "Sync Gmail" box.
Maybe no one else needs this info, but I spent a while looking for it, so just in case.
nice find. i was using an external app to get to this menu (quick sync).
Is there a way to change the sync period? I'd like to load up some older messages onto my device.

When you are in the gmail app main screen you need to click your email address that is listed in the top right. From there you just follow the remainder of his steps posted above.

ah got it - thanks
Thank you thank you. I was worried it couldn't be done. I'm happy to be syncing gmail.
Is there any way to get the notification to show up? I get new mail but don't know it.
Have you enabled them in the gmail settings? Are you using an alternative launcher? I can see them using ADW.

Thanks for pointing this out. I knew I had seen the option before, but I couldn't remember where it was buried in the menus.
I used AnyCut to make a shortcut to Accounts & Sync. That gives me access to the settings to choose what I want to sync (reader, docs, contacts, mail, etc).

[Q] Automatically Remove Notifications?

Might be something simple I'm missing - but is there a way to automatically dismiss email notifications? For example:
I'm using Enhanced Email - Combined inbox. I have a couple email accounts (exchange + gmail). Let's say I get an email in both accounts at the same time. If I tap a notification for gmail, it takes me to the EE combined inbox. I then deal with both messages. The annoying thing is the notification for the exchange email I received stays in the notification bar.
Is there any way to clear those automatically when I check my email instead of having to go to the notification panel and clear them manually?
Open up the stock email app and go to settings. Scroll down shot 2/3 of the way disband make sure that Email Notifications is not checked. Would advise going to through the gmail app and checking the same.

Yea, I tried that too. These notifications all come from EE. The only email app I use is EE, and no matter which notification I open it takes me to EE. Problem is the notification bar doesn't equate opening one account as really taking care of both notifications at once.

Well, maybe it's different in ICS, but on GB, you open email, hit menu, hit more, hit account settings, hit sync schedule.
Though if you're talking about GMail, and not EMail, you can just turn off auto-sync in your Accounts and Sync settings.
its very simple go to settings> accounts and sync then untick the auto sync option..thats it

Interesting you did not thank me, but thanked the guy who responded an hour after me, and said the exact same thing I did... but I digress.
Did you try going into the email settings as I suggested?

So obviously there are some differences in the email app from Gingerbread to ICS. It's just a matter of navigating the menu to find the options you're looking for.
When you open the email app, and hit menu, do you get a "Settings" or "Account Settings" option? (if so, do you see a "Sync schedule" option inside that?)

That's the sync period. In other words, how far back to retrieve emails. There should also be a sync schedule, to set peak and off peak schedules on how often to sync.

You set it to what you want.
Push = emails retrieved when they are received.
Manual = on demand (when you first open the email app, or click "refresh")
You can also set it to intervals.
Peak/off peak is like day/night settings.
This is the same as GB...

It seems on ICS that these settings are not present, either in the main accounts sync settings, or in the stock mail client settings. I think they were there when I set the email account up, but perhaps cannot be changed subsequently?
Am I just missing something, or do I need to use another email client to get this capability?!

not that i can see. It just downloads whatever is waiting. Doesnt download any attachments automatically, youd have to open the email and press download for that.

See posts 10 and 11 in this thread. You can change how far back in terms of date it looks to download emails, but not a specific number of emails.

Inbox by Gmail double notification

Hi everyone !
I'd like to share what seems to be a bug on my Honor 7 PLK-L01, that the first OTA update didn't solve.
Every new mail incoming in my Inbox By Gmail app appears twice at the same time in my notification timeline.
Am I the only one ? Did any of you found a solution for that ?
Have a nice day
You haven't by any chance set up your email app with your gmail account as well as the gmail app. Android automatically sets up your gmail when you first set up the phone and log on with your gmail.

I disabled gmail in application settings menu. And I don't think it's gmail because when I swipe the first notification away, the second one is exactly the same, with Inbox's possible actions (Done and Snooze).

I installed the app and it seems that it removes ALL notifications. I'm gonna test a few different settings and check back here.
EDIT : Okay my bad, I still have notifications... Both. So, the app didn't solve the problem :/
Aah, So you are using Inbox? I don't have it installed, but I seem to remember there was a Setting in the Inbox app to disable Notifications from Gmail.
