Hi,
I've had my Galaxy S5 for just over a week and I noticed that the notifications (email, hangouts) do not update if I read the messages from another device. If, for example, I have a new email and read that email on my computer (or tablet), the notification on the phone will still be there until I read that email on the phone. If i just swipe the notification to make it dissapear, when a new email comes in, it will tell me I have two unread messages eventhough the previous messages have been read (on another device).
Before the S5, I had a Nexus 4. Whenever I read a message on my computer, the notification on the phone would dissapear and messages would be marked as read almost immediately.
I find it really annoying to have the notifications and specially the LED light blinking for messages I already read.
Can anyone please tell me how to have S5 work the same way? All my settings are set to "push".
Thanks!
Check if you have enabled auto sync.
Can you tell me where auto sync is? I only found "activesync" under the exchange settings and it's enabled. I didn't find anything like that for my google account settings.
Thanks

So nobody else has this problem?

I was screwing around in HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Inbox/Svc trying to delete my outlook account, and when i deleted the folder i noticed that my phone stopped vibrating when i received text messages or emails.
I have since updated the ROM from the HTC website and the outlook account has come back, but i'm still not getting any vibration on messages.
Does anyone know how i can get it to vibrate again?
And i'm still looking for a way to remove the outlook safely - any ideas?
thanks
i know this is simple but is worth a shot if you havent already;
check sounds and notifications (in settings)
check in the notifications tab using drop down menu
Yeah - i have vibrate checked there. it totally sucks because i have to keep looking at my phone to tell if i have a new message
Try installing third party apps like phone alarm and use their profile settings to set vibrate - see if that works.

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..
So here's my problem - when I read an e-mail from gmail on my computer, I get a notification from gmail on the phone that I have a new email. I guess when the new mail number goes down, it sends a notification, even though I haven't actually gotten a new email. For instance, if I have 10 unread emails in gmail, and read one of them on a computer, my phone will emit one notification, when the unread count goes from 10 to 9. It's starting to drive me nuts, but I can't find how to fix it.
Anyone else experience this? How can I fix it so that my phone gmail only gives a notification when a new email actually arrives? Not every time the unread count changes?
No responses...? I'm assuming either I wasn't clear or no one else is experiencing this...or that this is the norm and I'm bat****. Either way, I'd appreciate someone with some info to tell me which of these is the reality, cuz if there IS something I can do about it, I would really like to know. Or, if there's nothing I can do about it, to just make myself get over it lol.
Again, briefly: When I read a gmail email on my computer, I get a notification on my phone showing that the unread messages have gone down by one. Is there a setting so that I only get notifications when a NEW EMAIL actually arrives?
I swear I've been playing all around with gmail and can't figure this out.
Im having a problem with it telling me I have 10 emails in the application on phone, but I have to sync a dozen times for it to show me a few of them.
Anyone else experiencing this? I have work Exchange account set-up through the stock E-Mail app. I have the notification box not checked at all in both my account settings as well as the priority sender options.
Yet every time I get an e-mail, I get a notification, the LED light, and a beep.
Any ideas?
I'm sorry, I've posted this in the wrong forum. Please ignore!
With the latest Gear Manager update I get a request to access my Gmail account (I can live with that), but now I receive notifications for EVERY incoming e-mail and not just for my primary inbox as it was in the past. I often don't read notification e-mails and every time I get a new message I get reminded for EVERY unread message on my Gear (vibrates on and on and on).
Does someone know how to revert back to the old notification style or find this update also extremely annoying?
