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.

Somebody cracked/hacked the OS SMS app and posted it over on PDAPhoneHome:

It's working on my 8125 so far. It's kind of limited (all notifications and SMS related events still open the Outlook/Text Message app), but if you're having a conversation with one person it seems to work nicely.

o2sms
i have been using this program and its great, i keep it minimized so when i get a text i just hit the icon and just use it for my sms. the only problem i have is i wish i didnt have to manually open the message so that the notification goes away. i have been looking for a reg hack that will still notify me via tone and vibration when a text comes in, but doesnt sit in the notification area. i aslo use pocketplus which allows you to preview texts and reply from them from the today screen, and right now im kind of torn between the two.
Hmmmm...I'm not using PocketPlus and I can also preview text messages and reply from the Today screen, are you sure that's not a WM5 attribute?
But you're right, it would be nice to have all the alerts, and default SMS handling go through this app, and I know there are some developers working on just that. But until then, this helps a bit.
I only use it when I get a message that I expect to turn into a conversation with lots of back and forth dialog. Most are ask/answer/done or just informational, but a few I get during my week I can pretty easily tell will involve several back and forth points. Other's text usage may not be so clear cut so this partial functionality is not good enough.

O2SMS
I am using the wizard and used the O2SMS programs for a few months. I often use the program to send to a group. I notice sometimes that while sending out to his group (1 by 1) the program will stop sending and close. Does anyone else have this issue..if not any suggestions to fix
thanks
screenshot please
I've used O2 SMS Plus also, but I must say that Palm Messaging is more, if not fully!, intergrated in the "system"
yes
i love palm messaging
I know there is a standard feature in the wizard where when a new voicemail comes in, it does a popup notification saying you have 1 new voicemails, etc.
I also know that when you click "dismiss" the popup notification is hidden, but no new popup notifications can come in until you actually listen to the voicemail.
Since I don't like to listen to my voicemail, is there a way to change the behavior so that it "clears" the popup notification and I can get to my other popup notifications?
I too HATE this problem. I have not yet searched the forums for a resolution, but I will see what I can find.
BTW: I had forgot about that problem (must have just been ignoring it) until you brought it up again! :x
Later; Lew
As far as I have been able to determine, there is no way to make it go away. However, new notifications do come in (but do not pop-up automatically). You can access the new notifications by clicking the notification balloon on the top of the screen. I use this quite often to get to the missed call notification without checking my voicemail first.
i too am having this problem and was wondering if there was a fix for it, it is quite disturbingly annoying.
Sometimes i get a slew of notifications and since i cant see them all since i am at wrk and i get time to see them usually voice mail is the "TOP" one and will not dissapear until i LISTEN to it, EXTREMLY annoying.
Does anyone have any fix/work around?
It's because of WM5

Hi... I wanted to bump this message because I have the same problem and I was hoping there was an easy answer.... i figure its an easy fix.... but man its annoying getting that voicemail txt msg and you tap on dismiss and its still there...
thanks in advance..
I just posted an ongoing email thread with Cingular/HTC support for the Cingular 8525 (Hermes) about the exact same issue. Included in the emails is a verification that this is also a confirmed bug on the Cingular 8125 (Wizard). I am going to stay on their asses about the 8525, and post any replies I get. Here is the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299865
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!!
Hi,
The email notification icon which should appears every time a new email arrived isn't consistent; I was wondering if other people have the same issue and if there was a fix for it.
By that I mean: the "email notification" icon shows up only 20% of the time upon newly received mail. So I constantly have to check the email tabs to see if something new has arrived. It's a bit frustrating...
Also: Is there a way to have the SMS blinking light and sound behavior for the email? Meaning: if someone send me a SMS; the phone emit a beep and a green blinking light reminds me of this new SMS. I would like the same behavior when I receive an email.
SMS is such a rip off; making you pay 20c a message or $5 for 500 messages; it's so ridiculously expensive... Especially since pushed email work really well!

Go again through the list of sounds and notifications, there you will find exactly what you are looking for.
Indeed; I didn't thought about that list... it's not too often than m$ provide something useful up front
Thanks you very much for the reply I did work
I still don't have a consistent mail icon in the notification bar; but at this point I don't really care; the blinking light + sound is way enough
1. Email: Every time email polls it deletes all messages. It drives me nuts, because I want to keep most recent emails on my phone as reference (which is what I did with my iPhone, and before that with my WM).
This happens both with the stock email and with K-9.
2. Notifications: I get a call and a notification pops up on the top bar - I pull the shade down and clear it. But then, there is also a counter on the bottom phone icon, which does not clear until I go into the call log. Any way to clear these at once (since it's the same notification)?
Also, is there a way to get a text message notification to work like the iPhone: to wake up the screen for a few seconds upon arrival, so I can see what is says and who it's from, without turning on the phone?
I hear you, Macguy!
Driving me nuts too! I'm used to WinMo phone where I can have my emails on my phone and in my PC.
Why can't anyone make such an email app for Android??? I don't want to live in the Google cloud!!!
