[Q] not getting email notifications - General Questions and Answers

A few days ago i stopped getting email notifications for my subscribed threads along with new ones I add. I am sure it is set to instant notification and I have not changed any settings, it just stopped. Anyone else have this problem recently? any ideas on how to fix it?

My dad had a similar problem to this one.
Best I can say is double check your settings in your mail app, and then (if you're using android) go into your system settings >> accounts and sync >> mail app of choice (if it's there, I know Gmail is for certain) and be sure that it's checked and then sync your phone again.
In the rare event that the hosting server went down, obviously that would prevent you from getting your messages. There could be network problems somewhere along the way as well, though that's also a rare occurrence.

I am not getting emails from xda at all, on my phone or computer, both to my Gmail. It just seems weird that it stopped all of a sudden.

for me it turned out that it got marked as spam. I think it was because I got so many in one day.

You woudnt believe it but right after complaining here it started working.

I am facing a similar problem...
Although I did receive email notifs today, for almost all my subscribed threads (its set to weekly)...
However, I am not getting auto-subscribed to new threads that I'm replying to...
This wasn't the case earlier...all my subscribed threads appear in one place in the xda app...but now I need to separately subscribe to each of them...

Anyone resolve this ? It's just started happening to me

[Resolved] Matched contact suggestion keeps popping up with same contacts

Dear all,
I have some contacts in google as well as in my Whatsapp account. Froyo automatically detects duplicates and suggests contact matches.
This is fantastic! I've checked the duplicates and then linked the Whatsapp contacts.
Pretty annoying is that it keeps notifying me of contact matches of the same contacts that I've already linked before!
I've linked them more than once and even have tried to ignore them, but nothing helped and the same contact matches keeps coming back again and again...
Does anyone had the same problem before or (even better) has a solution?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
How do you manage to resolve this?
For some reason the same two WhatsApp contacts repeatedly appear in the matched contact suggestion list.
Thanks
I've got the same problem. I updated WhatsApp today, so maybe that caused the problem?
Same with my HTC Desire HD. Uninstalled and reinstalled Whatsapp but the problem still exists... I am leaning towards the update as well.
This is super annoying, has it been resolved? I constantly have tried just about everyting from linking all (i think its been a hundred times already) to dismiss all, to clear notification and it just keeps popping up. I also attempted to remove the sync from whatsapp and disable the contacts sync but it keeps activating itself. I am going nuts trying to make it stop annoying me, is there any resolution?
It constantly says i have 22 matched contact suggestions. Is there an update I dont know about?
Hello,
I have the same problem with my htc desire z.
Please say how it has been resolved, because it's really annoying
I got email from whatsapp last night confirming the problem saying it would be fixed on next update very soon . There was an update this morning to the app so I'm hoping the fix was in there.

I installed the update, but now my two repeating contacts have become 58, so from bad to worse!!
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Try linking them and then see if it goes away. I have not seen the notification come up for me since the update though I linked right before I saw there was an update
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
The problem still exists after the update. Now it finds more contacts than before. Pretty annoying. I love WhatsApp, it's the best way to keep in contact with my iPhone friends. Bummer.
Yep, its still happening here, but in my experience it is the exact same number as before, i always had 22-23 and I have noticed that now its popping up Much less often, once today since updating when before it was just constant. I have sent email to the whatsapp feedback team letting them know its not fully fixed yet.
just updates whataspp a few minutes ago, the bug is gone now.
Yep, its gone!
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I think I have the same problem, but uninstalling and installing again does not fix the problem. Any updates here?
Still happening me too (Desire HD) - in fact it's gotten noticably worse in recent weeks. Plus it seems to nag more often than it used to too. Also it tries to match people who are totally unrelated - I don't understand that at all. Like many people, I'm starting to think that, what seemed to be a cool feature, is now becoming a pain in the neck.
One thing I did notice is that if you have any Skype contact requests that you haven't accepted or blocked yet, it will keep nagging you about those. Of course, it should ignore contacts that you haven't accepted yet, so that's a bug. But we've already established that there are bugs in this app! At this stage, I'd just like to disable it.
Why is this thread closed?
It is not resolved.
I have the same issue on my HTC Sensation XE (Android 4.0.4 Sense 3.6).
When I first synched my contacts wirelessly from my ActiveSync Corporate email, it kept asking me if I want to link contacts. (800+)
Currently, it is asking me less often but I still have the problem. More specifically with Viber and Tango.
Is it a problem from Tango and Viber. Didnt they fix the bug like whatsapp?
Is it from Android? Sense?
If I check a contact in my address phone book for example, I have a name that got like 6 Viber linked contacts (same number) and I cannot remove them and leave only one. this is polluting the address book.
One more issue is the telephone numbers: if a contact is registered with a code country, his call is not recognized but a sms coming from him is recognized. If I remove the country code, the call will be recognized but not the sms
pretty weird
I agree. I've been having the same problem with viber contacts. Everyday once or twice I have a bunch of contacts, that I have already matched, suggested for matching. It's really annoying and I am considering uninstalling Viber for this reason. Did anyone find a solution?
Thanks
Same here on htc chacha, viber keep prompting contacts to link and for one of the contacts I have 8 linked viber for the same number.

Gmail not updating, just manually

Why is the last couple days my Gmail will not check for mew mail? Stock rooted with update done yesterday. I have to open Gmail and refresh and get all my mail I've been missing all day. Doesn't makes sense since it was working before the last couple days. I have 3 accounts setup to sync and none are working.

I'm also having issues with emails pushing to my Infuse. They show up on Sparrow on my Mac, but I have to manually check from my phone. I noticed this a couple days ago and again today.
My stock infuse is has also switched to only rerrshing gmail when I manually do it.
Have task killer, juice defender, sjd watchdog installed but I don't think that is the issue

I also have task killer, BUT, I do not have it running. Only have it in case I need to manually kill something.
One account had 1 email this morning, another I checked manually and one showed up. Not sure what to make of this.

Weird, my gmail is no longer updating automatically either. But it is working on my tablet.
EDIT: Well, I checked my account settings under Settings > Accounts and Sync and somehow my gmail, calendar and contacts magically got unchecked.
I had not heard that it does more bad than good, can you point me to a discussion thread on it?
I had someone else say the same thing about juice defender but did not get a explanation why either.

Seems to be back to normal for me. Anyone else see it working correctly now?

I had this issue on my Inspire. I went to GTalk and apparently, I was signed out. I signed back in (as I believe this is how it communicates with google servers and syncs) and mine has been syncing correctly since.

What the heck is gtalk? And whats it got to do with gmail refreshing on the phone. Ive never heard of gtalk !!! I googled it and came up a bunch of different things
All day today, no email. Manual refresh and a bunch of emails show up. This is annoying! I thought alot of my issues with the dell streak were solved by moving on but i guess i only moved onto different issues..... so annoyed

Google Talk. Google's chat service. It shows in your app drawer as "Talk". If you've ever noticed, when you access gmail on a computer, you're automatically signed into Google Talk. I was told a while ago in the past (when I owned a captivate) that Talk is what the phone may use to communicate with Google servers (makes sense), but not completely sure. By no means is gmail buggy or have issues because 99% of the time it syncs perfectly and without problems. My time period where it didn't sync was the first time it ever happened since I've had my Inspire (since February). My gmail has since returned to normal.
Do you have a task killer that's possibly interfering?
Are notifications enabled? (in gmail settings - "notify in status bar when mail arrives")

Still having issues with my Gmail syncing. I had no issues for the first few weeks I had phone, but now it is rare that push actually works. I have verified all settings are correct. I had issues on my iphone with email syncing also, so I changed to fetch emails every 15 mins on that to make it useful still. I don't see an option for that on the gmail app though.

That's really weird. The Gmail app has always worked for me, and very well at that (and on different devices). My GF's gmail app works just as well and she uses the Infuse. The only thing I can think of at this point is to go to the gmail application info page (via manage applications) and "clear data. Verify all of the settings again, reboot, and see what happens.

I do have advanced task killer but its not enabled at all. My gmail settings and notifacations are all set correctly.
Gtalk was logged in on my main account. I dont think that has anything to do with this problem though. I have 3 accounts setup and it worked fine for a little bit there before noticing the problem. If it was linked, i would have 3 loggins!
The gmail app has always worked fine for me also, UNTIL getting this phone! Sux

I was reading the help part in the gmail app and there is a long list. I guess clearing data is next for me. I just turned everything off and turned it back on. Ive rebooted today too.

Sporadically loosing Mail notifications

Hey guys!
I'm loving my One S (except some few bugs, but hopefully they'll be fixed).
One of the bugs is kind of wierd...Sometimes, my Mail-notification just won't work.
That is, I receive a mail but no sound or icon is popping up.
Anyone seen this?
I'm using HTC Mail-client as I think it's way better than the Gmail-app
Have you set up everything in the mail notifications settings (for every account seperately)? I have 3 accounts and often forget something
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Yes, all the notifications are set correctly.
It's working, but sometimes it won't vibrate, notify or play the sound :S
As I'm using the mail for my work exchange server, I wonder - how can you tell the mail arrived and no notification is seen.
As you enter the mail application it will update itself. Might be that your mail application didn't check mail until you entered it and then you also saw the new mail?
Well, 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.
I see...
So I can't help
I discovered a new problem, so I gathered them in this thread
Can one of the MODs please close this thread?

[Q] Facebook Notifications Annoyance

I'm sure this has already been posted but.... for some reason my Facebook notifications are not showing up at all. I literally have to click on the app to view them. The notifications won't be sent to my main menu and it's annoying the crap out of me. I've tried numerous things to try and fix the issue and everything has failed thus far. So now I turn to the forum of maybe someone who has the same issue and fixed it... not even my mobile phone carrier retailer had an answer to fix it... I have the latest Facebook update as well. I never encountered problems until the most recent updates.
any help is gladly appreciated :good:
clear app data usually solves this for any app

I had the same weird problem. I want to say I narrowed it down to being logged in to your facebook on the same device's browser. That is what I came up with. The only way I found to fix it was to do a complete factory reset.
Facebook is a poorly coded app. Sometimes it's just on their end. Clearing data + cache should fix it... But if it doesn't you may need to play the waiting game or use a 3rd party client for Facebook.

[Q] Facebook Notifications not receiving them?

I've read all the threads regarding this topic and I couldn't get an answer so I'll ask
Facebook for Android has been skipping n a lot of my notifications. All I get notifications for are comments, nothing else.
I know it's not the phone, this has been happening over every Android I have had, also friends can log-in and get their notifs.
But I also don't think it's the account because I made a fake account to test is and I didn't get notifications either.
I tried all the connected app clearing, didn't work.
Any Other Ideas? :laugh:
Thanks in Advance

If all your friends get notifications and you don't, it seems you need to change your notification settings in www.facebook.com
No other option I guess
Id get rid of the app all together. Its a data and battery hog!
