I have my calendar synced with gmail online but i never input anything online .. i always input things on my phone and have it sync(backup) with online calendar but i noticed that i am receiving sometimes double /triple calendar events of the same item ... anyone have any ideas why?
I have added some all day events to my calender and I disabled the alarm sound. But my HTC Hero keeps giving audible notifications at 2 o'clock in the morning. For now I deleted my all day events. By the way, the all day events are generated by Lotus Notes and synchronised with my phone. Does anyone recognizes this problem and knows a solution?
So here is my query, I have searched but did not find anything that remotely assisted me with my particular problem.
I have multiple e-mail accounts set up on my phone. 2 Gmail accounts, 2 yahoo accounts, and a pop3 email account for my website. It is also likely that I will have to set up my work e-mail on the phone too here in the not too distant future.
I currently get 1 email in any of the email boxes and I am constantly barraged with constant email alerts notifying me of new mail every 5 minutes it seems. Is there any way to change them to all only notify me of new mail and not just alert until I actually read the unread mail? It's not always possible for me to get right to it and to have those notifications continually coming in is a little annoying.. Is there a way to stop the multiple notifications and stick to alerting only on new messages for all accounts?
I should say I'm a recent convert from the iPhone 4 to the HTC EVO 3D and love every aspect about it except for this.
Thanks in advance from an HTC EVO 3D & Android Noob!
I'm not quite clear on your problem. Are you receiving multiple notifications because your using multiple email applications? Or are all your email accounts set up through the stock sense email app which provides separate notifications for each different account?
I have 5 email accounts. 4 are set up through gmail and the third is a pop3 account which I have forwarded to a gmail account.
I have my accounts set up through gmail and exchange activesync. I use the gmail app and the sense app because of its unified mailbox. I have the notifications disabled for each account on the sense app and just rely on gmail to notify me.
Another thing you can do is turn off the notification for the gmail app and customize the notifications for the sense app, since you can set peak and off peak hours. So for your less busy or less important accounts you can pull every 2 hours but for your important accounts you can set to push (if your set up through exchange.)
I don't know if this is any help. If you clarify a little I might be able to provide a more clear response.

Yes, I am using the built in sense email app for multiple mail accounts. I'm beginning to think that each time it reaches out and it sees an unread message on the server whether or not it has notified me of that single unread message. I'm not a fan of linking all of my accounts to one Gmail account on here as they all serve a separate purpose and I can prioritize them as needed by looking at the status bar notification.
I don't think I've touched the native Gmail app at all since I've had this thing. I have 3 accounts that are set up to reach out to get new mails at 5 minute intervals (1 Gmail, 1 yahoo & 1 pop3) and the rest I have moved to 30 minute intervals as they are not as time sensitive.
I just checked the native Gmail app and the notifications are set to off. I guess this is just something new to me since leaving AT&T and getting rid of my iPhone. I was hoping there was some kind of notify tweak that I was missing that would only prompt it to notify of new mails period. I can't always grab my phone to check mails immediately so that's how I noticed it..
I'm so green to this, I've only had my EVO3D for a week now.. I think I got too used to the iPhone but decided to lose AT&T and move back to Sprint. Any help or other ideas would be greatly appreciative.
And many thanks to you parousia15 for your assistance in this matter thus far...
In the Notification settings is there not an option similar to "Notify me Once"? I use this option in Gmail and also in Handcent SMS for notifications. I don't use the stock mail app so not sure it is there or not.
Vdubtx,
I checked that under the native mail notification settings and there is not one that I can find. I did just start with handscent so I"m trying to learn more about it as time goes on.. So far I love my phone.. I don't think I'll be changing any time soon...
I've tried to replicate your situation, unfortunately, when I get a new email through the native sense app, it beeps once and only once. It doesn't renotify me after any amount of time. I don't know what else to recommend. Sorry.

thanks for trying! I guess I'll have to try and see what I can figure out myself then..
I did recently find some complaints over on Android Central that were exactly the problem I'm having. These were from a year ago with the EVO 4G but no one had any constructive help there. UGH... My hunt shall continue tomorrow I guess..
I have yet to find a fix for this issue. I've come to the realization that the stock email app sucks with notifications. I just want a single notification of new emails not a notification every time it checks that I haven't read the previous email. Starting to miss my iPhone for this function!
Download the actual gmail and yahoo mail app for real time notification of new mail rather than unread mail. You can use the stock mail app for you pop3 account. That worked best for me.
As a mail server admin I have seen issues with POP3 clients (mobile and computer) where the client will not properly keep track of what is new.
Even more frustrating is that the server can cause this as well.
First thing is to methodically figure out if it is a certain type of email account. If it is the POP account then try connecting through IMAP instead.
The only real way to know is to sift through the server/device connection logs.
Worst case, to be less enjoying, you could turn off just the vibrate and sound part of the notifications and keep the icon.

I'm having the same issue. I ended up muting the notification and just having the icon display the new e-mails. Though it would be nice to have it ring only once because I would like to actually be notified without the repeat every 5 minutes.
This is happening on my EVO 3D and also on my dad's Thunderbolt. Both using the default Sense mail client.
I actually did a little testing and it is in fact repeating only when it checks for mail. If the client checks for new e-mails every 10 minutes, it will notify you every 10 minutes. This most likely means that it's not actually a reminder alert but an alert that new mail is present like someone else said could be possible in this thread.
That being the case, there wouldn't be an option to change that in the settings unless something gets updated. What needs to happen is that the client must recognize the e-mail has already been downloaded previously so it doesn't notify again and again that there is a "new" e-mail.
The MIUI calendar (or contacts) app gives me daily notifications with the text "Today is XY Birthday, don't forget to say happy birthday or get a present". My contacts are synced with facebook, so I get this notification for all my facebook friends. I don't give a damn, so how can I disable these notifications?
I'm looking for the same answer. Googling my ass off, but not finding anything yet. It's a nice idea and all, but there's gotta be a way to turn it off.
Same problem! Any solution?
Have you tried to go into calendar and in the menu (click menu button) selected "more..." and then "Calendars" to see if there is a Facebook Calendar. If there is you can click it and make it not sync and not be visible. I do not personally have this problem and I am running MIUI with Facebook contact sync. Hope this helps.
I am having the same issue. I don't believe this is directly related to Facebook. It just becomes more annoying when Facebook is involved. I too would love to turn this off!
Turn off bday reminders
Any luck with this? I also can't turn off the birthday reminder
Clicking the notification sends you to the contacts, so it's most likely the contact app. Calendar is off the hook, I disabled every calendar and notification and still got birthday reminders.
Facebook may be involved I think simply because it syncs birthdays to every contact that has it set on their profile
Still, there is no option that I have found that disables these notifications, and if there is one, I'd like to know :/
make the birthdays stop!!!!!! i only care about one birthday, and that's my own.
Well, this still is a problem...
I keep getting two notifications for all events. Maybe one is from Google Calendar and one from Samsungs app?
Anyone else had this and what is the best solution?
Thanks,
Jon
Turn off notifications from one of your calendars?
