[Q] WiFi wont stay off and email notification sound - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

I shut my wifi off when I'm at work or anywhere that does not have wifi or the wifi is password protected. The issue is at times I notice that my wifi comes back on and starts searching. Anyone else have this issue?
My second issue is I can not find a setting for my email to stop the notification sound for it and keep it on for my text messages. I was able to find it in yahoo but did not see it in gmail or the stock email from Samsung.

[Q] stop screen from turning on when i receive an email ?

i can't seem to find the setting where i can prevent the screen from turning on when i receive an email.
can someone point me in the right direction ?
mine doesn´t even turn on the screen and i haven´t change anything (gmail that is)
hmmm. i'm pretty sure that my screen didn't turn on until i upgraded to XWKE7. or perhaps i'm imagining that ...
just tried and with KE7 it did not turn on the screen (do we talk about the same ,gmail and not the email app)

to stop the screen coming on for sms i've installed sms popup. you then switch off notifications in the standard sms app an let sms popup handle incoming sms messages and it has an option for leaving the screen off.
I've exactly the same problem, screen turning ON when receiving mail, exchange account!!!
Any solution????
sorry to bump this but has anyone got a solution ?
it's very annoying to receive an email and then find that my screen has turned on and then find that i've magically phoned someone, all while my phone is in my pocket. :-(
i'm surprised that there's not an option to stop the screen turning on ...
Bumping again - this is a major pain in the rump.
Like others, I have a feeling that this didn't happen before KE7.
bumping - had my phone for so long and only now after reading this thread noticed the issue
I have the same issue, though I am using NoLED with the lock screen.
So an email comes in, the phone screen flashes on and then the screen goes black with the email icon per NoLED settings. The flash on only happens with email and not with text messages or whatsapp notices.
This is weird indeed and I haven't been able to find a setting to solve this. This happens with the stock email app or the gmail app.

[Q] Hotmail App (7.8.2.45.4400)

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.

[SOLVED] Random Notification Sound

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.

Data is disabled on phone when MMS is received

Hey all,
My wife's GS4, NK1, rooted, has this weird issue with Google Hangouts where, if someone sends her an MMS, the data shuts off.
So if I send her a picture, she gets a notification that there is an MMS waiting, but as soon as the notice pops up, data shuts off. Or if she's in a group conversation, every time someone replies using MMS, her data shuts off.
This only seems to happen with Hangouts, as I tried EvolveSMS and it can receive MMS just fine.
I have tried clearing the cache in Hangouts, uninstalling the app, checking and unchecking options in settings, but nothing seems to fix it. Has anyone seen this issue? Do you know how to fix it? As you can imagine, searching "hangouts turns off data when receive mms" on google is less than helpful (as are other versions of that search).
Thank you for your time!
Bump...
Still looking for a solution to this.

I have the same problem and ive been struggling to find any solution. Ill let you know if i find anything but this is super annoying.

Delayed notifications for gmail?

For a while now, whenever I get notifications, gmail even sometimes text (sms) , they'll get delayed until I wake my phone or when I do a manual sync.
Sometimes they'll come through instantly, but sometimes they mostly wait until I wake the phone/manual sync and then they all come through all at once.
Has anyone else had this problem, is there a fix? I've seen notification fixer, I'll give that a try!
Thanks,
JP
Me too. Also no longer get gmail notifications on gear 2 even when gmail does come through on its own
It's been happening to me too. Couldn't understand why as I didn't change anything other than download a few apps that should have had no impact.
