Hi everyone,
Well I've scoured Google, these forums, etc - and i can't find the answer to this question. Now that i've updated to 2.1, when i send a text message and I begin to type a name it not only pulls name from my phone's contact list (Which is just my google contacts that got re-synced) but it also pulls from all of my friends on Facebook. How do I stop this? as i don't want to start typing a text to my buddy and accidentally send it to someone who I'm only friends with for Mafia Wars (lol.)
Thanks!
Menu > Settings > Accounts & Sync > Facebook for HTC Sense > deselect "Sync Contacts"
Sync Contacts settings worked for actual People like when making a call but they are still there for text messages. Whipe them all out?
I've been using Das bamf 1.6.3 on my Thunderbolt for a week now and it's been working fine, now all of a sudden sometimes I get my e-mail notifications and sometimes I don't, it's intermittent. It doesn't seem to be specific where the source of the e-mail comes from. Its been happening for two days and no changes have been made to the phone. Anyone have any ideas?
I think the email sync defaults on manual-sync when not at peak times, which is defaulted as Mon-Fri 8:00am - 5:00pm, I believe. If your settings are like this then you wont receive a notification on the off times unless you manually sync your email.
I know this sounds newbish, but where do I set the frequency to which it updates? I went to account/sync and there is no way to adjust it's sync schedule. I even tried under settings for gmail. Thanks!
I personally dont use the Gmail app for my email I use the "Mail" app for it. You can connect multiple email accounts to it and if you go to Settings > Accounts & Sync and select each mail account you can then set up an update schedule.
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.
You may or may not know this but the default settings in Gmail are to notify once, not for every new email.
The setting is kind of buried.
To notify for every email you need to go to
Menu
More
Settings
Account settings (click on each account individually)
Labels to notify
Inbox
Notify once
Now you can get notifications for all emails as they come in.
Should prob be in android general
Hi Everyone,
I'm an HTC Titan user and I love it.....recently I noticed that I don't get a notification on the lock screen for new emails from my gmail account. However, if I unlock the screen the live tile does give the notification. This is not so for my other email accounts on the phone. What could be the cause of this and how can I rectify it?

I use Gmail for everything and have it set to receive email at is arrives on the google servers and have a ringtone assigned to Email and I get lockscreen notifications.
So make sure under Account Settings you have it set to "Push" or "arrive" under mail sync. And that you have an alert set for email under "Ringtones"
Email Notification Gmail
Thanks but I couldn't find "push" or "arrive" in my account setting.
