I've asked multiple people about this and haven't been able to find the answer. Everytime I get an email I get two notifications one with the yahoo icon and then the red one with the @ sign. I go under accounts and under motoblur accounts it shows the @ icon and shows my email address. I use yahoo. When I press on that it doesn't let me change the username but let's me put in a password yet I can't remove that account. Basically, how do I stop from getting double notifications
Settings- data manager- data delivey- email and corprate sync- notifications...
Uncheck notifications.
That will get rid of the red one with [email protected] sign.
(Thanks are welcome if that fixed it for you. )
Ill get back with you to let you know how that worked
Need hotmail notifications
I'm also having an email notifications issue. It's a little different but I don't think it needs it own thread.
I use hotmail instead of Gmail, but my launcher pro mail icon won't show the number of emails. It works fine for text messages, just not my hotmail. I am getting a notification on my top bar, I just want to be able to quickly see the number. I'm really new to Android so it's probably an easy fix that I am just overlooking.

Weird, I used to get the double too.. unchecked that and emailed myself and only get one now.. maybe its through launcher pro? I get the black M notice still. And my normal text alerts.

I had a similar problem, where I kept getting dual notifications. I fixed it by uninstalling the beautiful widgets addon pack.

Hm interesting because I do have that addon installed? Now what exactly were your problems? Would you get the y! And the @ notification each time you got emails?
I'm GreyBlured!
Sorry it took so long for me to post. When I had the beautiful Widgets pack, I would get double notifications for everything, email and text. The fact that you have the y! means that its a yahoo email. So either it's the Widgets or you may have a yahoo email app that's also notifying you.

Has anybody else found annoying bugs so far? Here's the ones that I've run into:
- Address Book server sync overwrites changes that you've made from the phone (haven't confirmed this one, might be my fault somehow)
- Multimedia volume slider plays your ringtone once you adjust the volume, but plays it at the volume set in the ringtone slider (not the volume that you're actually adjusting)
- Browser bookmarks list has a lot of trouble keeping site icons straight, it just kind of randomly shuffles them around to the wrong site as you load different bookmarks
- AOL Instant Messenger app shows weird behavior, not sure if it's a bug but it is definitely difficult to use in its current state. Locking the phone prevents messages from showing up, then on unlock they stream in all at once, and if you go too long without checking in on it the program will be terminated but your screen name will not be signed out of AOL's server
- There doesn't appear to be any way to set a vibration for notifications like Text Messages or IMs
- Some apps (MySpace Mobile, specifically) do not account for their process being interrupted when the screen rotates and the current action will be cancelled or the program will freeze.
Overall great phone, I'm really extremely impressed with it as a whole so far. I'm amazed at how fast my internet connection is on EDGE, my old Dash was technically on the exact same connection but took 5 or 10 times longer to load a full web page. Even without 3G the web browsing experience is comparable to using my desktop at home.

ya there is. for example, go to the main Messaging page where it shows all of your threads. Click on Menu > Settings > Vibrate (put a check mark)
same thing with IMs or EMail

Android will get it wrong sometimes on sms threads when the sender is not in your contacts.
I noticed yesterday I received an sms from [email protected] and deleted it. Later an sms from +1913XXXXXXX. When I pulled up the my sms folders later, the newer, undeleted sms from the 913 number said it was from @domain.com.
(and the two are in no way related.) I did a reboot and it still displayed the same.

here's an email bug...
Go to craigslist.org. I wanted to ask a seller a question. When I email from there, it gives me 2 options, to use my pop 3 email account or gmail. If I use gmail, it takes off the craigslist.org extension and replaces it with gmail.com. If i choose to send with my pop 3, it just opens a blank email without the email address. I try to copy and paste the address into the sending field, but it won't let me. I use craigslist a lot, so this is a bit of a pain...
Otherwise, lovin the G1

Just switched back to windows mobile from android when the HD2 came out. One of my biggest issues is the fact that I do not receive notifications for messages/alerts from fb on my home or notifications screen. You have to go into the FB app and refresh to see anything new. Does anyone know of an app/solution. The SMS notifications don't work quite well.
I know what you are talking about with the notifications pooping up at the top. I know that my Mom, Wife, and sister all have Android Devices and they all hate that feature. I don't know of a way to get that, however there is the Facebook Tab you could install that could eliminate one step and you just slide to the Facebook Tab and hit refresh.
www.brighthub.com/mobile/windows-mobile-platform/reviews/29269.aspx
Could try that. leave it running in the backrground and you get a pop up notifaction whenever you get a new comment or message. I used it for a while but i got rid of my Facebook cause its a pain in the ass!
You can setup Facebook (the site, not anything related to your phone) to send you e-mails for your notifications...
...which would ostensibly come to your phone...
use FIM. It runs in the background and delivers a WM notification if there is an update on FB.
I was actually coming on here to post that. I came across the app and it's amazing. Does everything I need. Notifcations, Chat, etc. Thanks Guys!

I read that 2.2 lets developers add this functionality into their apps. I tried Gmail Notifier by Jonas Larsson and Trackball Alert but neither change the trackball color when I click on the test notification button. I'm currently using SMS Popup to change the Messaging trackball alerts. Now I'm looking for something similar for Gmail. Thanks.
in trackball alert did you click Settings->Patch CM5?
edit: nevermind, it apparently isn't working for 2.2 yet

I don't see anything like that (I don't have Cyanogenmod by the way. Using rooted version of 2.2). There's...

OR
Settings -> Advanced -> Framework debug, Application debug, and Bypass framework check (I tried checking Bypass framework check but it didn't help when I clicked on test notification)

Hmmm.. This is weird. I changed it to yellow and it worked for a test email I sent. Then I sent another and it stopped working. I changed it to red and it doesn't work either. Not sure how I got it to work once but not all the time. that tells me that the app is capable of doing it.
It works with test notifications in Gmail notifier for me too.
But when recieving a mail, I don't get any notification.
If I enable notifications in the Gmail app, I get the classic gmail notification and not the Gmail Notifier one.
If I disable notifications in Gmail, I don't get the Gmail Notifiers one when I get a new mail. :/
How did you configure it Danimar?
well I did try it with the test notification, not with a real mail. Sorry about getting your hopes high if you say that it only works in test mode

Well, maybe Gmail notifier is not yet compatible with the Gmail app included in Froyo, so it won't detect gmail notifications correctly.
It's just a guess though.
so what we are all saying here is that currently there is no app that does this without root?

I'm rooted and these apps don't work for me. Pretty sure they just need updated to 2.2. 2.2 supports trackball colors but the devs need to update their apps.

Well, Gmail Notifier handle very well the trackball color, but actually it looks like it can't handle the notifications from the updated gmail app in Froyo.
For SMS, SMS PopUp works perfectly fine for notifications and you can change the trackball color.

You might be right. I already use SMS Popup too and it was never updated to 2.2 yet I can change trackball colors so I'm thinking something changed with Gmail so all the Gmail apps might have to be updated for it.
For anyone trying this out on Froyo - the test notification would only worked for me after I switched off the screen. I was frustrated before I figured that out, but now I'm captivated by the glowing blue light

Did the trackball color work for you when you received an email with the screen off? I tried but it never worked.
Nope, it didn't, but I was just happy to see coloured lights at all since I couldn't get it working with chompSMS yesterday.
Gmail Notifier works great on Froyo.
As others have pointed out, it just doesn't work when the screen is on.
Also, you HAVE TO TURN OFF the native gmail notifications otherwise it notifies with a white color and there is no succession to whatever you have set with Gmail Notifier.
I have 5 accounts working with different colors on N1 Froyo.
Hope this helps.

Yes I have notifications turned on for Facebook.

It's definitely something odd going on.
When you responded to this post, I got the Tapatalk notification instantly however my Gmail isn't updating on it's own all of the time which means the push notifications don't come across. I have to do a manual refresh in the Gmail app. With Facebook, I am getting the badge icon instantly but I am getting no sound or banner notifications with the phone on or at idle.
I normally don't use the app. I'm not a big FB fan but the app is working fine for me. I only use FB for a few mobile games. But I'm getting notifications without any issues.
I seem to have fixed my Facebook notifications or at least I think I did. So far it has worked with a few test posts I made.
For some reason, I think this has to do with migrating to the iPhone and then switching back.
Anyhow, I downloaded and synced Facebook with my old Nexus 7 that we keep around to keep our 3 year old daughter entertained with when we go to restaurants.
What happened is kind of strange. I started getting notifications on my S7 instantly but now I am not getting the notifications on the Nexus 7. Anyone else find this odd?
i have kinda the same thing. it give me notifications but only on the app widget. it shows the number of notifications but not a notification in the bar on top. i have to keep the facebook app on my main screen so when i turn it on it shows if i have any notifications in the app. it has bugged me like crazy.

I don't even have the option to put the Facebook widget on my homescreen. Where did you find the widget?
Also, it sounds like you are having the same issues I was. I had the facebook icon sitting on my home screen and it would show the icon badge for how many notifications I had but I wasn't getting the notification banners at the top.
I don't understand how syncing Facebook with a old Nexus 7 cleared this issue up but so far the notifications on my S7 seem to be working.
I've had no push notifications for about a year and a half on my HTC One M7, and still the same issue now on the S7 Edge, however I do get the widget notifications at least. I have checked all my Facebook settings and all notifications are enabled. Dont know why I just stopped getting push notification. Wonder if its something on my Facebook account.
I am not getting any Facebook notifications either. I migrated from an iPhone 6S and I'm wondering if that has something to do with it.
Not sure how I would go about fixing it though.
I have never owned an iPhone so it's not that for me

That's what I am thinking. Do you have another device laying around like a tablet or another phone? If so, try loading your Facebook account on it. If you don't then maybe you could try a friends phone.

I have a backup Galaxy S5 that I could try it on. I'll see if I have some time this week to experiment.
Might be worth logging into your Facebook on the desktop version and going into settings, Notifications, Mobile and seeing if something has been disabled in here.
I wasn't getting Facebook notifications on the Messenger app, just the badge and icon. Took me ages to finally find out that somehow that at option was disabled when I logged into the app on my S7. Not done this on any other phone.
Not sure what happened but I'm getting notifications now.

That is the stupidest app Google ever invented. An email app where you can't mark messages as read. And if you mark them as "done", they are deleted from Inbox. Not sure how anyone could ever use that app.
