Email Notification: Icon and Blinking Light ???

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

New SMS Notification Clears Prematurely on Lock Screen

So, I honestly don't know what I did to cause this.
Normally the little slider on the lock screen would display the # of unread SMS messages I have. For some reason now what happens is I receive the SMS, the counter ticks up to 1, and then when the message disappears (automatically) the counter also disappears.
So, basically, if I didn't hear the new SMS sound, I'd never know I'd have a new one by looking at the lock screen. The SMS tab in TF3D still shows the unread count until I go there and read the message.
It still works correctly for new email messages.
Any ideas or suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks

Notifications disappear from the bar

Hi all,
i have a question about notifications :
How long notifications such as a received text messages disappear from the notification bar?
I often have to go to the Friends of the widget to see the new sms icon in green, after 1 or 2 hours that i cant use phone and notifications disappear.
Tnx to all

Notifications normally don't disappear until you're explicitly read them or cleared them. Text notifications should still be there even if you restart your phone.

thanks for the reply, but I still have this problem with the notifications in the bar, as if there was a deadline in time, perhaps some setting?
maybe because i installed the ota 1.72?

I also find the notifications on this phone to be haphazard. I'm sure the light notifications clear after a short time. I've missed several important messages as a result.
I will monitor this more carefully since I am not 100% certain that this behaviour is actually happening -- but I think it is.

Just got this phone last week and same here. Notifications are fine for everything except SMS. I sometimes dont get:
a) A Notification of a new SMS.
b) the messages icon on my home screen, doesnt show a new text count, with a green circle and number.
When I go into messages, there is a new sms or sms's.
Im running 1.75.110.2
and kernel 2.6.32.21
Its a pain.

Concerning the no SMS notification, it's a known bug since the 1.72 update. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887098 .

I've concluded that SMS is a disaster on Android in all respects.

OK. I have been monitoring this for the last few days. I can now confirm that the notification light goes on when I receive a text (SMS) message but it does not stay on. So, if I don't notice the light at the time, I am unaware that there is a text message waiting for me.
I presume that this behaviour effects everyone running the 1.72 update.

Notification while on a call

Wondering if there is a setting or app that I haven't find that will either turn on the screen, or give me an audible sound when i receive a text message while I'm on the phone. I actually am on the phone about 4 hours a day, with no notification I reply to text messages later than I would like.
Thanks for the help!

Anybody?

Limit number of notifications by time

Hi,
I have been using WhatsApp a lot more than usual lately and there's something that's bothering me. While the screen is off, there's a notification for each message received. So, in case I have someone messaging me 20 times in a row, I will hear the notification tone 20 times. I know some apps limit the number of notifications by time and I'd like to do this with WhatsApp.
Is there some way to do this? To make it clear, I'd like to be able to set an option like "Only ring once for whatever number of messages every 30 seconds".
Thanks

I've seen this in custom Roms but not in Stock.

You can limit notifications frequency in light flow. I am not sure if that's exactly what you want or not, but I have it set so if I get more than say 2 texts in a row within 10 seconds that it doesn't play the sound or vibrate more than once in that time frame.

Thank you so much @frigidazzi ! I already used Light Flow to manage the notification led but never used it to manage notification sounds. I just configured it to only ring once every 10 seconds and it's working perfectly.
Again, thanks a bunch!
