Using stock email app with hotmail email address I have this weird notification bug. When an email comes in I get the notification icon and then pull the dropdown and select the email to read it. As soon as I am done selecting it and while the email is opening I get a second notification of that same email.
Not sure if this happened on 4.4 but I have been noticing it ever since the first update but don't recall if it happpened prior to that.
And it only happens if the notification has been there for a little while before I select it, if I happen to be using the phone and an email comes it and I select it right away it does not double notify me.
Anyone else seeing anything like this?
Stock rooted 4.4.2

Ok guys. Sorry if I have simply stumbled over a setting or something but for the LIFE of me I cannot get the HTC Mail widget OR the Mail shortcut to notify me when I receive a NEW mail. The only notification I get is in the notification bar, but no "1 new email" in the widget (which btw IS logged into my gmail account)
I have been tweaking random settings and sending emails to myself but still the only way I can actually get to my NEW mail WITHOUT touching the notification bar up top is to go into the actual Gmail APP.
What's the point of the widget if it won't update on it's own and let me scroll through messages?
Is there a PUSH feature somewhere I can't find....I have looked everywhere and it's REALLY pissing me off.
Please don't flame...just got my hero rooted and ModAco 1.3 installed a few days ago....everything else works flawlessly. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Bump...please tell
Same problem here
I'm having the same problem, its not notifying me of new emails unless I actually open the widget.
Mine is connected to my works exchange server.
EDIT: Think I figured out my problem, when I would kill tasks with the task manager it was one of the selected tasks. I've added MAIL to the ignore list and we will see what happens from here.
Have you tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945298?
So I have a hotmail address setup in the stock email app and when I go to the email via the notificaiton in the drop down bar when it brings me to the email in the email app I get a second notification sound and then the email stays open like it is new after I exit from the email.
Hope that wasn't confusing.
Receive email notification > Pull down notification menu and click on the email > Brought to that email > Immediately I hear a notification sound and I see that exact same email come across on the notification panel > Exit email and go to email app and that same email that I was just in is showing as new and not read.
Phew, sorry for that, wasn't sure how to explain. This doesn't happen every time but it is happening a lot to me, stock rooted and on the latest OTA.
Thanks
I am a new Z3 owner (D6603, rooted, locked BL on 23.0.1.A.5.77) coming from a long list of Samsung devices. I've noticed two small things that bug me and wanted to ask if these are normal.
The first thing is, for lack of a better word, keeping apps in the background. For instance, if I am in the twitter app, click on a link to a story which opens in Chrome, then share the story via email by way of chrome's share function, it then opens my email app. When I'm done sending the email and hit the back button, instead of taking me back to Chrome, it returns me to the home screen. This is different than every other Samsung device I have. Those will return me to chrome, then hitting the back button again returns me to twitter app. Basically it reverses the complete path. I'll admit this might seem silly but given my normal workflow of going from app to app, returning on the same path is important. Is there some setting on the Z3 that I need to set to enable this behavior?
The second has to do with notifications. If I have multiple notifications, as expected, the icons for each notification appear in the notification bar when the notification window is collapsed, but as soon as I click on any one of the notifications, the icons disappear from the collapsed notification bar. If I expand the notification bar, all the notifications are still there, but the icons don't show when the notification bar is collapsed. Is this normal for the Z3?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Hi there
Regarding your first problem: I actually just tried this with Facebook (clicking a link), open Chrome and sharing it via Gmail
and it behaves just as you said you wanted it to, it brought me back to Chrome and then back to FB.
That notifications disappear from the status bar (collapsed notification bar?) is really unusual.
Never happened to me before, neither did I hear/read about such problems.
I'd suggest to either check if some apps are causing this (like apps which handle notifications)
or reflash the firmware through recovery (but a different, maybe your own created zip) as I think
the first problem is a system failure.
Maybe someone else can help you better, just wanted to let you know that this isn't usual for the Z3
Settings, Personalisation, Clear viewed notifications
Edit: The default setting is unticked btw, so I guess you must have changed it.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thank you! That took care of the notification problem.
So I just noticed the back glass panel on my phone wasn't fully glued at the factory. Kind of a major defect for a waterproof phone. Shame, I really like the phone but sending it back for replacement. Hopefully the new one doesn't have the recents problem. Thanks everyone.
I thought I would just post this here, it's both my question with my answer as a work around that I found...
My question/ Problem is that my Hangouts Notifications weren't always coming through. Hangouts (and Gmail) is not displayed as an application in my "Notification Center" (in EMUI 4.1). ((I was also trying to turn off the banner display, which I find incredibly annoying. )) It's like it doesn't exist on my phone. Too bad it's a system app, so I can't uninstall and reinstall it. I tried rolling it back and updating it to get it to show up, but no luck. Because it wasn't showing up, I couldn't change it to be a priority notification. (I had already set it to protected in the battery manager with no luck.). My question is: How do I get it to show up in the notification center so I can adjust it?
My work around is to change the notification through the "Apps". I toggled it to be a "Priority Display" and I was able to turn off the banners. Hopefully that takes care of the missing notifications. I'm sure it will take care of the annoying banner.
Has anyone else experienced applications missing from the notification center? For beta testers, is this fixed in the EMUI 5?
My notifications work perfectly fine for Hangouts and Gmail. Like you said, I have the applications setup as being protected. And yes, Hangouts and Gmail may not show up in the notification center, but if you go to Settings>Apps>Hangouts>Notifications, it gives you the option there, including setting as priority. Try that and see if it works for you.
Don't know how else to put it...
I noticed that if I double-tap the gmail notification on the AOD, I will be taken directly into the email message but the gmail notification does not clear/get dismissed if I just hit the home button. It will dismiss if I hit the back button within the gmail app and go back to the inbox.
However, when I receive 2+ gmails, the notification works properly and dismisses immediately when the app is launched from the AOD notification shortcut.
I thought it was just my phone but I tested it out on my wife's S8+ as well and the same issue <-- she hadn't noticed since she didn't know the AOD notifications were shortcuts...she thought they were redundant notifications so she would just click on the notification through the shade and enter the app (which works correctly and dispatches the gmail notification promptly).
This only occurs when you receive ONE (1) email and enter the gmail app thru the AOD notification. <-- I guess it's a bug (or does Samsung intend to say it's a feature????). Being kinda OCD, it bugs me. But I had to make sure since I just performed a factory reset as my gmail app was crashing on me all day and only a factory reset cured it (yes, I tried force disable, clear cache, clear delete from both the gmail app & google play services; remove account and add my gmail account back; nothing worked except for a full system factory restore and then a manual set up)...<--Ahh, I miss being able to TWRP, use Titanium Backup and do whatever the hell I wanted with my Nexus 5 (and the only reason I had to let it go was that it won't hold a charge for more than 4 - 6 hours tops now).
Roll call and let me know if you guys are facing the same issue. I'd like Samsung to fix it since I don't face this issue on my Nexus 5 or Nexus 7 tablet.
Thanks!
