Hi,
After upgrading to official wm6.5, the inbox pops up from time to time. Sometimes it's the sms inbox, other times it's mail inbox. Usually this happens after a message is recieved and read. Then every 1 or 2 min for maybe 10 minutes.
Is it some setting? Am I missing something?
I see this....very frustrating. Do you have several email accounts set up? I have an exchange as well as an imap account and I suspect its when I have the 2 set up that it does it.
No, I only have a gmail account. Sometimes it's the mail, sometimes it's the sms.
However, if I leave the sms program open, it doeasn't happen.
I mean, if I just press the home button, instead of the close soft button.

I have an annoying bug with the gmail apk.
When I hit the "sync" button to look for new emails (I have autosync turned off) and I have a new mail, the app would show me "Inbox (1)" in the upper left corner, meaning there should be one new email. However, sometimes/often that one new email just won't appear in the emails list. I can see my old mails but the new one just isn't there, altough the (1) is displayed. When I go to my the "All mails" Category instead of the "inbox", I can see it, also when I look it up on the PC.
This happens sometimes more, sometimes less often (last time yesterday), and I have no Idea why so. Sometimes I would get for example 3 new mails, but only 2 are displayed
Anyone else with that problem?
me too facing this
You don't have to "sync" gmail as it uses push. So just check the "sync" option and emails should get pushed to your phone when they are received. Why did you turn that option off?
Sent from my brain
Do you refer to the "Auto-Sync" option under Accounts & sync? Because I cannot find a "Push" option anywhere...
If you mean that, I deactivated it because it sucks alot of energy as it refreshes all the time in order to fetch your mails. I'd rather just go into the app and check for new mails myself.
And the fact that sometimes I see the mails in my inbox and sometimes I don't (only the number in brackets appears in the upper left corner but no mail) tells me that this is indeed a bug.
How come only 2 people are having this?
That's not how PUSH works

That's not how PUSH works. Resources are NOT used, or used so little to be insignificant when you have GMail set up to Sync. Basically, as long as there are no messages, you will never get a notification, and your phone will not check mail. When a message is sent to you, ONLY THEN will your phone "do something" by displaying the fact that you have a message.
However, if you use HTC's mail function, that's another story. There you have to actually decide how often you want the app to check mail, or do it manually, as you are doing now. So, even if you get no mail, it will still check as often as you have it set up to do so. This uses far more resources.
Again, if you have GMail set up properly, just leave it alone. It will only "do something" when there is mail. Otherwise, nothing.

Thank you for the input, much appreciated. Guess I had the wrong Idea of how Push works. I know people kept saying that it eats battery life like crazy on the iphone back then.
So, is "Auto-Sync on" (Accounts & sync menu) = Push on?
Because I still can't find an entry that says push.
Finally, I still have that bug in gmail....
I'm getting notifications of emails onto my Gmail account REALLY late. It's set to receive as it happens but it's taking more than 30 min. Only a few times did I get it instantly. I have to manually refresh it in order to receive my emails. Any idea why this is happening?

Hmm strange, seams like a problem with your net or google, I've used gmail with 2 accounts since I got my Trophy and the emails usually comes in instantly. Granted wifi will sleep if the lockscreen goes on for a while.
Hey Nudua,
I used to have this problem too. I'm on an HTC Trophy.
Click (cough touch) your gmail live tile
Touch the ... (bottom right) to bring up your settings menu
Touch settings, then touch Sync settings and change the default 30 minutes to whatever you want.
Mines currently set to as items arrive. Not sure if this impacts your
Cheers
Hi!
I'm having 2 problems with the mail notifications:
1. Sporadically loosing notifications.
Sometimes, my Email-notification just won't work.
That is, I receive an email but it won't vibrate, notify or play the sound :S
There's like 2-3 seconds before the app updates and there I can see that there is a new email and sometimes when it updates and there is even newer mail, those will be downloaded after update is complete.
2. Sounds and vibrates twice.
When I do get an email notification, the phone alerts and vibrates twice, even though there is only one notification in the statusbar and only 1 email recieved.
This started after I updated to 2.21.401.10
I have re-added the account and turned off notifications in the Gmail-app..
Any ideas?
I'm also having the issue of my One S not playing any notification sound when I receive a mail.
I don't have "refresh on open" set up, so I know it's an older message sitting there in my inbox, but no notification about it. Is it btw. normal that all the mail I receive is already marked as read?
EDIT: Running stock Rom with the 4.0.4 Android OTA Update and using IMAP on Yahoo Mail.
I found something related to issue #2...
When I get an email and doesn't clear it from the notification bar, it chimes every 5 minutes to remind me. Loving it during the night!
Maybe this is the culprit to the whole issue...So how do I get rid of it?

my one s also not playing sounds or vibrating for new emails. even though its all been enabled in settings
Same here: One S playing notification sound twice upon receiving new email. It happens just sometimes, apparently random. Never had this issue until 2.21...
I think that push mail also doesn't always work: a few times it seems to not download email until I wake the phone. Not sure on this though.
Mine doesn't notify me for text messages at time.
Has someone ever solved the problem of the email notification ringing twice?
Hello all,
Ok - this is really mind boggling and as such I decided to make an account and ask all you experts about it.
I used to have an HTC Thunderbold and with its very poor battery, I had set my 5 emails to synch manually. So, whenever I felt like it, I would just go to settings and click on sync all.
Yesterday I got my Galaxy S3. I rooted it right away, and then plugged in all my email accounts. 5 accounts - 3 gmail, 1 yahoo, and 1 private. I set them up all under the stock app, because I don't like the gmail app and I don't want to download any other apps. That's how I had them set up with my Thunderbolt too.
Now, with the Galaxy S3, the battery is better, so I have set it to check for new emails/sync every few minutes during peak hours and every hour during off-peak hours. But I am just wasting time here - let me just get to the problem:
If I go to Settings -> Email (under Accounts), then all my email accounts are there but the little "loading circles" are greyed out and they all say "Sync disabled". I have a screenshot that I wanted to post but as a new user I am not allowed. So, the button at the bottom of that screen that reads "Sync all" simply doesn't do anything. I click it and it stops loading in a split second.
If I click on each individual account out of that list, then the only option I have is to Sync or Delete the account. If I go to the settings of each email account, then I see that "Sync Email" is checked on all of them, and I have edited the sync schedule for each of them too.... So... how is it that they all say "Sync disabled"??
Moreover, and most importantly, how can I change it so that when I click on Sync all, ALL my email accounts are actually synced?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks

. . . at the top of that Accounts & Sync screen is a "switch" to turn "on" or "off" the sync capability . . . should be toggled to a "green" colored ON. . .
Is there any way to turn off the option to undo when an email is deleted or shorten the duration that the undo message is on the screen. I can't open any other emails for 5 seconds or so while the undo message is up on the screen.
It gets very annoying opening an email to read it, hit delete, and then have to wait to open the next one only to repeat the process.

Are you referring to gmail or samsung mail? Probably the easiest thing to do is find another email client. The mail.com client is based on K-9, but has a very familiar interface and uses the more conventional "are you sure" type warning with the checkbox not to show again.

I'm talking about the Samsung email app. I was thinking I was going to have to check out another email app to get around it. I've used K-9 before. My email account is on an exchange server and it was hard to find a good app that worked well with exchange.
Im not entirely clear on what youre talking about but i have no issues deleting emails and just taping another one with the deleted message with the undo button still there.
