Hello to all!
I am new to this scene, did a search but could not find solid info on the issue I'm having/researching. I have an O2 Xda Orbit2 with WM6.1 (and using it in the US no problem), have gone through and set all preferences, etc to my liking, etc. I added a few AOL email accounts to the Messaging feature so it can grab emails and prior had set within the Notifications and Sounds settings that the phone NOT give me any notification (all boxes unchecked) of when new email comes in from when the phone runs its scheduled send/receive. However, the phone displays that envelope icon on the top status bar when it retrieves new email...even though that particular setting is NOT checked.
I have tried everything...playing with the notifications, setting it off then on, soft reboot and even a hard reboot (YUCK)...nothing cured it. I still get the envelope icon up top when it pulls new email, I don't want it to do that. Glitch, bug or problem with my phone? Anyone else have this or know what or why it is inherently defaulting to give an onscreen notification of new email when I set it not to??
GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY INFO!!

I've been trying to get Pocket Outlook (8125/Wizard) to provide mail notifications when new (IMAP) messages are received.
Automatic polling is working fine -- the headers and/or messages are retrieved appropriately at the indicated intervals. I'm aware that Messaging cannot be in the foreground if notifications are to be received -- so I've tested with messaging completely closed or minimized.
I also specifically enabled (in sounds/notifications) sound notification for "new e-mail message" and made sure the sound was playable.
It's all to no end. New messages (headers and/or complete text) do come in from IMAP, but there's no notification of any kind. Nothing visually appears. No message text appears (despite the configuration setting that says it should). No audio notification occurs.
I have changed the Messaging paths to use the storage card rather the internal memory -- this unfortunately required me (apparently) to disable the Today messaging line (to avoid the Storage Card2 problem -- I'd love to find an alternative way of getting something back on the Today screen in this regard). However, even before I made this change I wasn't receiving any mail notifications of any kind.
Any suggestions appreciated! Thanks.
calendar notifications
I have the same issue with calendar notifications. everything is enabled, just it does not notify me. It just happened suddenly.
Anyone knows what ther problem might be? I am using Calendar+.
Thanks
Hi
I had to do a complete ROM reload after a complete crash / lock-up.
All fine and dandy, but now I get no notifications of email / VM / SMS - either audible or visual. This is a right pain in the proverbials, as I now have to open the beast up to check for anything rather than just listen out or look for a red flashing LED.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks
have u tried start> settings>personal tab>sounds and notifications>notifications, then from drop down menu anything you need a sound for, such as Messaging:New text message,
Yes - I've set everything as before
e.g. permanent flash for a voice mail or email
This sounds like what ended up being a corrupt notification on my device. Search for 'check notifications' software, it will find and delete all your duplicate notifications.
I have searched for awhile on the forum and came up with nothing so here goes.
I constantly get an Orange Cingular icon in the top status bar with the a 'Notification'. The problem is that I have my 8525 set to notify if I get an email and it changes the Led to blink orange. But I get these Cingular notifications all the time and although I never get a message for it.. it just shows the word 'Notification'. When I click 'Notification', the icon goes away and that is it. No text messages or any other messages. It is just annoying and wonder if I have set something (or didn't set something) that makes this icon come up.
Thanks.
Wow, 74 views and no one has any ideas?
Does this mean that none of you Cingular users get a Cingular icon at the top of your screen on an hourly-daily basis that shows up as a notification? Maybe it is just me?
Notification
The only Notification I get is when I receive an email, voice message or missed call. The Notification is at the bottom left of my screen and is accessible witht he left softkey or touch screen.
i have never gotten anything like that... through my 8125 or 8525
Very odd. Have you tried clearing your notifications queue with the likes of Sktools, Memmaid or Scarybear? Though I'm not clear exactly what kind of notification this is!

He's talking about using Xpress Mail.... it pops up an ugly cingular thing on the top bar. I don't like it either.
Yes, he is referring to Xpressmail, which pops up a very nasty jagged-looking Cingular notification when a new email has arrived.
I found that Xpressmail doesn't really add any functionality to the phone anyway. You can set up any pop/smtp email account already in the phone, and if you leave the app running it will send/receive on a more reliable basis than Xpressmail does.
I understand the idea of Xpressmail -- waking up the phone if you have a new email -- but it just didn't seem to work for me at all. And yes, I really hated that ugly notification icon. I uninstalled it happily.
Bummer
Yeah, so far XpressMail is the only one that can get my work email. I have my Outlook set up on my laptop and XpressMail grabs it. I can't set it up through pop/smtp because it goes through the work Outlook server and requires authentication. I guess if I want my mail, I have to learn to live with it. At least until they set me up with the push from the outlook server. Though that won't happen this year at least due to IT restraints.
Oh well.
Hi
I've gout my Touch HD syncing with Exchange Server, and so constantly get a 'Notification' on the screen that requires dismissing, as new e-mails arrive.
(I thought I would be able to go to Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications, then find the Messaging: New e-mail message and uncheck the 'display message on screen' but this isn't checked)
Are you only able to switch notifications on or off globally? I guess you still get an icon to indicate a missed call or sms.... what do other people do?
Thanks for any advice / comments
Try one of the Tweak software packages out there, I am sure there is something in there for notifications.
Regards
Tweak HD lets you switch SMS sent notifications on/off, but that's all.....
Hi, since upgrading my Xperia to 2.1 I've notice something really annoying and all I want is for it to STOP!!!
Has anyone noticed whenever they sign into their google/twitter/faceache account the mobile's automatically sync's it's contacts? However instead of updating the outdated information with recent edits (either online or on the handset) it adds to it!! Often leaving a single entry with multiple parts (if you get what I mean) and multiple copies of the same address, number, email and notes in a single contact.
Does anyone here a solution to this?
I just want it to bleedin' STOP!!!
It's sooooo damn bloody annoying!!
I like the mobile contact list to remain the same, unaltered by it's software sync utility yet I like my emails to be pushed... So far, I've played with the phone till i'm completely stressed, only to achieve nothing!
STOP SYNCING my contacts!!!!
ALSO...
Where's the option to have assign different colour flashing LED status, for various types of notifications?
i.e.
Green - missed call
Blue - new sms
Orange - new email... etc...
Did you try going to the "Sync Settings" and turning off Sync? Menu button on the contacts list, go to "Account & Sync Settings" and uncheck "Sync Contacts" ?
when opening facebook on the settings you can disable the updates
