Notification sounds stop working. (Bug found) - Xoom General

Is anyone else having an issue in which notification sounds stop working after about an hour after the Xoom was booted?
I have rebooted it several times and keep having the same issue. After about an hour, the notification sounds no longer play, but the notification light will still blink. The clock alarm notification sounds still work at all times though.
I have tried changing the notification sounds on the apps but it has no effect. When it happens, all app notification sounds stop working. The only unaffected app is the Alarm Clock sound.
Reason (Bug found):
Ok, so after a lot of testing. I found what causes this bug.
I have 2 gmail accounts that I use for mail. So I set up 2 GMail Widgets on the home screen. One for each account, obviously. The problem happens after both accounts have received mail and the mail is accessed through clicking on the mails in the widgets to bring up the full gmail client. It doesn't matter if the accounts have both received mail at the same time or hours apart.
I did find that as long as you never open gmail through the widgets, the notification sounds keep working. I sent myself mails about once an hour to both accounts for over 8 hours using gmail on a PC. During this time, I simply listened for the notification sound after each email was sent. Every one worked perfectly, until after I opened the a mail item in each of the gmail accounts on the Xoom using the widgets. Then, I no longer received the notification sounds.
Now during all the times of testing, the notification light always works. Regardless of the notification sound. Also, sound within applications were never affected. However, when the notification sounds stopped going off due to this gmail widget bug, none of my applications notification sounds worked anymore.
After the notification sound bug kicks in, the only way to remedy it is to shut down the tablet and reboot.

Reason found and put into post above.

I have the opposite happening to me. My light won't blink on Gmail notifications but the sound works just fine. I've done multiple reboots too. Good find on what may be causing the bug though.

I am currently experiencing this issue but I dont have two gmail account widgets and after a reboot I still do not get any sound notifications.
I do have a gmail and an email widget. Perhaps I will remove both and reboot.
I am running Team EOS 3 (latest nightly)
Thanks

Gmail Notification Issue?

Hi all, copy and paste from Amon_RA's thread which I've posted in also. I'm running Amon_RA's 1.6.1 ROM and am wondering if the following happens to you as well? If it does, what ROM are you running? Is it donut-based? Thank you.
Some bugs/features in 1.6.1? I'm not too sure if it's intended to function this way in Donut, hence the bug/feature portion. I'm experiencing the following problem on 1.6.1, with email notification and vibration turned on:
Assuming I do not have any email notifications currently, and I have zero unread mail in my email. When I receive a new email (be it for one or two email at a time), my phone will vibrate and have the notification, as expected.
However, this is where things get different. If I were to ignore the notification (let it remain there) or clear the notification WITHOUT tapping on it and going into Gmail, any subsequent emails I receive will only result in having the LED blinking, and the number of unread count in the notifications bar will increase. The phone does not vibrate, neither does it ring.
If I were to tap on the notification and enter Gmail, then my phone will vibrate and notify me again. This happens regardless of whether I read the unread emails in Gmail, or let them remain unread.

Anyone?
Yup, I concur.
I just tested this. Received an email, cleared the notification. Then sent another email to myself from browser. My phone didn't vibrate and notify me, except with the green LED.
Cleared the notification by opening Gmail.
Then i re-sent the same email, notification & vibration is back again.
Wondered what's wrong, i've got a feeling that the flag is set wrongly too.
Ive posted this to Google already but have yet to receive a reply..

[Q] Phantom notification sounds - every 5/10/15mins

Anyone else getting the whistling notification sound (the default sound) coming from the phone, but no actual notifications on it?
It keeps whistling at me for no reason.
Yesterday evening it was doing it like clockwork every 15mins, but sometimes after 10mins. By night time it was sometimes every 5mins, driving me mental!
I disabled Gmail, Email, disabled most of the funky control functions (like "Air xxxx" and "xxx motion") and it still does it.

I've had some phantom notifications too, but only the odd one. I was thinking it was something to do with my pebble but maybe it wasn't after all.

I have the same issue and its really irritating... Sound notification without any trace of what program is notifying. I have tried with apps that log the notifications , but it does not even show up there. My workaround, put standard notification to "quiet" and set specific other notification sounds for the apps you do want notification from. Could be done in the apps, or in for example light flow app.
Not had this problem yet, been using mine for about 2 days now, the only other apps that I have that would give me notifications is whatsapp and Facebook, maybe something you've installed?
£620 machine needs to work without workarounds.
Looks like I need to reset and install apps gradually.
Check Settings under "accessibility"
there is an option for:
Reminder of Notifications all 5, 10, 15 minutes
turning off
The new gmail does this, since it has tabs for social promotions and forums and.primary and whatnot,it will only generate a notification for the primary inbox but the other inboxes still make a.sound even without the notification. This might be what your experiencing, I get this.on.my HTC one
Possibly even a.combination.of this and the.notification reminder setting

This option is not available on Moto X (VZW). I'm seriously sick of these notifications.

Constant notification sound with cm11 m3

Recently flashed CM11 m3 and having a strange issue. It seems like unread emails (gmail app) are setting off a notification sound every 30 seconds or so. I'm not talking about new emails setting off notification sounds, its existing unread emails. If i swipe off the notification from the tray, they stop, until I get a new email, than continues with the excessive notification sounds again. I looked in the gmail app for a setting for this, but cant find it. I see an option to notify for each new email, but not continued notifications for email. Any ideas?

Notification clearing delay

Hi!
Like a lot of people, I've had problems with push notifications which seem to have been at least partially solved by exempting specific apps from battery optimization. The other issue I'm seeing with notifications is that they are not cleared or have a long delay. For example, if I delete an email in gmail on my computer, the phone notification will take at least two minutes to clear. This sometimes happen in reverse - I'll delete/read an email on my phone, and the gmail web will still show the email as unread.
Also, if I get a notification from facebook, if I clear it on my computer it won't be cleared on the phone. This I suspect might be a Nova launcher problem, but I'm not sure as I've had so much trouble with notifications even before I switched to Nova.
Can anyone help sort out the notification clearing problems?
Anyone?

Calendar Notification Tone issue

Since abt 5-6 years I have been using Business Calendar 2 app for setting up reminders for events & tasks.
But in Mi A1 the notification tone does not sound up. Phone vibrates & the reminder pops up if the relevant setting in BC2 is enabled. This issue is existing since the day i bought it.
I tried several other apps like DigiCal, Calengoo, aCalendar.... But still no notification sound.
Notification tone works perfectly in Gmail, WhatsApp, Sms..
What could be the solution ?? Is this happening with others too ??
Mods pls delete this thread. Notification was blocked in app settings. Issue is now resolved.
