ICS email notification behavior - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody,
I updated my GT-P7510 to ICS and noticed an annoying behavior in email-notification. It keeps notifying me of incoming email, even though I read the mail, it notified me of. As this didn't help, I pressed the delete button in "notification", still no change - every several minutes (not in equal intervals) it kept ringing. Has anyone experienced something similar with his/hers GT-P7510? Does anyone have any idea as to why it behaves like that?
Thanx

Same problem here.
Incoming mail setting are double checked, don't know if this is normal behavior....

Not shure if it helps, but i had the problem when i used the app light flow for LED control with ics on my nexus. Everytime my LED started flashing, i read the message, but still the led was flashing afterwards.
The difference in ICS, regarding to the developer of this app, is that ics don't set a flag for noticed notifications. That means regarding to your email client you are using it could be that this client doesn't see an read messangs or interpretes that as still unread.
Or could it simple be that you use a different client for yor mails, besides gmail and the mail is still unread in gmail app?

Personally i use gmail app, which works great, and samsung email app for different accounts.
On samsung mail app, only on one account i face this problem, so i guess has to do with this specific pop mail synchronization and exchange messages server.

Can't say much to this, because i only use gmail respective k9 with imap on my tab. But what i can say so far is, that i don't have this issiue with my configuration. Maybe your hind with pop3 leets you to the solution.

[Q]+[Poll] Android :: Repeat Notifications ::

Hi all,
There doesn't seem to be an option to switch off repeat notifications. Whenever I receive an email and I don't read it immediately, I'll get a repeat notification sound every 5 minutes or so until I acknowledge the email in some way.
I have looked to no avail, so am hoping that someone can point out where this option is. I have set up quiet time from 10PM - 7AM, but this isn't helping outside these quiet hours.
Hope you can help.
Thanks..
I think its a gmail bug. Except for me I get the messages report in winmo. Even if I delete them they come back. Fu!$&ng annoying. Even though I don't use winmo, I still see them if I have to do a restart or something
I've never bad this problem at all...

I'm using an app called Improved Email. Not syncing to Gmail, but internal mail app grabs corporate exchange, improved mail to another exchange server and also a hotmail account. Still don't see an option to disable the repeat notifications..
Are you having this problem with Gmail, or a different mail app? Because there are a few bugs ive noticed with the Gmail app like mattfmartin said. Sometimes I wont receive an email in WM but the moment i boot up into Android i start getting notifications from old & new emails.

Hi, I don't use gmail at all. I don't have a problem receiving email either, its just that when I do receive emails the notification sounds keep sounding every 5 minutes until I go into the mail application and read them which I don't often have time to do so the repeat notification sounds become quite annoying after 15 minutes or so, especially at work where they annoy other work colleagues as well.
my phone beeps one time, then the orange light stays on until i check it..
this must be build specific.. perhaps post in the build thread.
I dont use gmail either. And I get the notification repeats for everything. It's especially annoying for voicemail, and it doesnt matter if I have new voicemail or not, I check all the messages and then the notification comes back 5-10 minutes later, then I check again and there are no new messages... It's just annoying really though, not that big of a deal...

[Q] Notification LED flashing even with no messages

Hey all. I tried searching the forum but nothing came up. I apologize if this has been addressed already in another thread. Ever since I got my phone the notification LED will flash, even if there is no new message. It flashes fine when I get an email or text and it'll go away when I read them. It happens several times during the day but I can't make it happen. I have to drag the notification bar down to get rid of the flashing. I did a factory reset but it still happens. Does this happen for anyone else? I know it isn't a big deal but it's little things like that that just eat away at me until I stop it. Thanks for any help.
Do you happen to use Handcent? This happened with my 4G and 3D from time to time. I'm not sure what caused it, but I would just test notification in Handcent and it would go away.
Nope, never have. Guess it wouldn't hurt to try it out.
I use Handcent and I think it may have been the source of my notification light problems. I haven't had any problems with it on this phone thus far, though.
I tried turning off all led notifications and it still happens. This is very weird.
Do you have the Yahoo Mail app installed? I get mainly junk in my Yahoo so I don't want to be notified of email and just want to check it when I feel like it. You can change the notification sound to none, uncheck use vibrate, and uncheck show in status bar but it'll still light up the LED. There isn't an option to turn off the led notification.
I'm not a fan of that app so I use the default android email app now for my yahoo account.
I did have that app but uninstalled it after what you said. Now we play the waiting game.
Well the LED hasn't flashed by itself since I removed the Yahoo! mail app. Thanks for the info. Guess i'll send them an email with this issue.

Glad I could help. That issue had me stumped for a while myself

Problems with facebook chat integration

Hi,
i have a strange problem: i'm constantly connected to facebook chat with my WP7.
(last update)
but i don't receive messages directly to WP7
so when i connect to facebook on my computer i see messages i never had on my phone...
does anybody got the same problem? it was working good 2 month ago and now it doesn't
Is it after updating to Tango?
Delete your Facebook account from your phone and unlink it on your Live account and then join them back together.
This is a problem that is starting to show up for a lot of users. Me included.
Most likely something to do with the integration itself. No one has been able to fix it as far as I know. Happens both on Tango or non-Tango so it's not related to that.
I can get like one or two messages from Facebook in the chat but then I get no more only to find out I got more messages if I log in to Facebook on the web and take a look. The messages just stops being delivered to the phone for some reason.

Have you ever used some kind of third party Facebook Messenger. I used to use IM+ which caused problems, because It didnt sign me off accurately, and left me signed in. This caused the same behaviour that you described. I suggest you to log in to your facebook accout and remove all the unused apps from your profile, and try It again. If It now works, maybe there is something with your operator, maybe they have network instability and lose some network packages or anything like that. If nothing works, try to do a hard reset, but make a backup before that in case It didnt solve your problem.
Yep exactly same thing
i already tried:
- hard reset
- disconnect / reconnect in "Messages" tab
- switch from "available" to "offline" and get back to available
- as OndraSter said, remove facebook link in Live, and then relink it
i hope Microsoft will solve the problem.
as far as i know, everything goes through Live no? so i think it's microsoft problem, not facebook
and i never used other softwares (like IM+)
I had this problem. Solved by itself.
What happens is when you reply a facebook message via integrated message app you'll stop receiving messages until you disconnect and connect again. Seen to be a problem with live integration with facebook, hope it'll be fixed with the new revamp they'll do to make MS web pages more metro.

Notifications dissapearing after reading on another device

So I have SGS III and got myself thinking: I have my GMail set up to synch new mails consantly and, when found new, notify me and blink the LED. While the feature is great, I often read my mails on other devices as well. That's where the problem occurs: even if I read a mail on another device, the LED keeps blinking which is quite annoying as I know that most likely no new mails are there and I just have to make the senseless effort of unlocking mmy device and clearing the current notifications from the bar. I'd love if this could be done automatically so that when I read a mail elsewhere, my phone treats ot just like any other mail and clears the notifications linked to it. Can I do it somehow?
EDIT: Ekhm... You just have to wait a little bit longer and it disappears on its own

[Q] email notifications

I'm wondering if anyone knows of any apps/utils that notify you of new emails (without actually checking email directly on the phone). What I mean is, an app that I guess checks it in the background or whatever, then pops up letting you know you have mail "to check". When I had my "other phone" there was an app called Ultimate Notifier that did this - I didn't have to check my email constantly, and I'd only get notifications that I had email "to check" when I did.
I've found a few apps in the market, but none seem to either work at all, or even do what I'm wanting to do. I know it's not an issue to check email every hour or whatever, but sometimes I prefer to just be notified that I have an email, and if I decide to check it, I check it, if not I don't, at least I was notified anyhow.
Hopefully there's "an app" for that, lol. It's the only thing I miss coming from my "old phone" If it matters, I'm using AquaMail, and the few that I have found are for K9 mail (and haven't been updated in years).
Thanks.

I'm confused. All email I thought had this built in. I use Gmail, Yahoo (through built in email app) and Outlook through touchdown. Gmail and outlook are push so every time I get an email I can have it notify me. Yahoo checks every 1/2 hour and notifies me if I have a new email.
why would you need an external app unless you don't have nay kind of setting to auto update mail or push?

Because I don't have it set to update. I generally do, but wanted to have it the way I had it with my other device. It'd just notify that I *had* an email (it wouldn't pull it or anything), and I could choose to check it or not check it. I know it seems silly, but it's just the way I preferred it I suppose.

OK not sure if you do this to save battery life or whatever but if so it would not make sense since the other app would be reaching out (push) to see if there was any email. So it would be a wash one vs the other.

A bit of battery saving. I'm not sure how the app I was using with my other device worked (It was called Ultimate Notifier), but their system checked my email server(s) to see if I had messages, if I did, it'd just send me a push notification - I wasn't "polling" any email servers on my end.

Umm...Ultimate Notifier was made at a time when Push email didn't exist outside of using MobileMe. It was made useless when Apple allowed Push mail with Gmail and POP3 boxes. What you were, in essence, doing is polling the Ultimate Notifier server in the same way that phones today poll Gmail (or other boxes). It used no less battery. In fact, if you know how Push notifications work it doesn't matter if you have 1 service (in your case Ultimate Notifier) or 10 services, you're not using any more battery. The only thing using the battery is downloading the emails, which probably accounts for about 10 minutes of battery a day.
In essence, there's no need for an app like that when every email app can do it natively. It uses the same amount of battery. If you liked how it looked and such...that can probably be done with a few other apps (different email apps or notification apps).
