Anybody else have this problem.
Notification for missed call and texts works great.
Notifications for exchange email account worked for one day then stopped.
chatted with tech support and gave typical answer, reset phone. It is only 2 days old and spent ours configuring...
Only Samsung's native apps show on the the AOD
yes i know exchange account is a samsung native app and it worked on day 1

Try to clear the apps data and cache. Then add your account again. Might solve it
I use the native samsung email app and I don't get icons. I think only calls/texts
So we are supposed to get email icons then? hmm

thanks tried that with tech support and didn't solve it
ooops ok looked again on the net and it seems it is only for text and missed calls. Someone did mention that it would work for native samsung email app. Funny thing though is a chatted with 3 different samsung techs to get it to work and none said it didn't exist.hahaha
Let's hope there will be afuture upgrade which will do more. But for now loving my phone came from 3 htc phones and 1st Samsung and so far loving the S7 edge

So I successfully rooted my phone, removed abunch of bloatware, like verizonbackup, friendstream, tweeter, flickr, and a few others. but now my gmail wont sync automatically, i have to manually refresh my inbox, it doesnt seem to be "pushing" new messages to me and its getting very annoying. Is anyone else having this problem?
I think we will start seeing more and more of these issues as people root the phone and/or remove apps that they think are "bloatware".
Did you try removing and re-adding your gmail account?
I just completed rooting my phone this morning, but only removed City ID. My gmail is working normally, including giving me new mail notifications as soon as emails come in. Maybe you deleted something you shouldn't have deleted.
As an aside, why did people hate City ID so much? I deleted it because everyone else was, and because I wasn't using it, but not really sure what it does.

If you removed the verizon backup assistant you have to do a factory reset, meaning wipe all your data, this could be your issue. I seen somewhere else saying you have to do a factory reset once you remove that.

It nags every 15 days and wants $2.99 a month fee. It is useless since all it does it tell you what the city and state is associated with the caller's area code and exchange. Most everyone knows the local area code and exchanges. if it was a one time $2.99 maybe, but $2.99 a month they are crazy.

I agree. That would be irritating as hell. I have only had my phone for 3 or 4 days, so I hadn't seen any nag screens yet. Now hopefully I won't!

Oh, you will I think the cost is outrageous too, especially since all the program is doing is checking the XXX-YYY-0000 against a data base, where X is state and Y is town.
As for the OP, just go into Applications menu and clear your Gmail and Gmail Storage cache. We used to have a similar problem way back in the dark ages of 2008 G1, when rooted owners would immediately uninstall the Fave 5 application Tmo so kindly put on there, which would immediately erase all Cloud contacts AND break sync
I performed a factory reset after removing everything I didnt want, but I think I read in another post that it might have something to do with friendstream.apk, does anyone happen to have this and can host it somewhere? I'll try removing and readding the email account.

Same here.....looking for the friendstream.apk. On a side note, don't install the friendstream.apk for the evo, as it put me in a nasty reboot loop.
I too am having this issue, but it is only happening to one of my two gmail accounts, one pushes fine but the secondary account I have to manually refresh to get my email. I haven't removed any bloatware from my phone.
Count me in... Neither HTC Mail nor gmail are auto syncing on their own. If I turn OFF then back ON the auto sync (via the power widget) they sync, but any futher emails are not working.
This is on the leaked 2.2 for me
For some reason I can't receive or send pics through my text messages anymore on my EVO Shift. It used to do it just fine but for the past month or so it wont do it. I went to Sprint and the CSR tried to update a few things and even tried to send a pic to me from her phone and it wouldn't do it. She said I need to take it to a repair store... but my phone isn't broken!! I have never dropped it, never scratched it and have never had it near water.
I run Lookout (free), JuiceDefender (free), Launcher Pro (free), FW (free) clock widget, Apps2SD, Some icons I downloaded from this site, and that's pretty much it. Everything else with this phone is working flawlessly and I have no problem getting pics through my mail on the phone. The Micro SD card was upgraded a while back from 2gig to an 8gig. Any experts out there that might know what's going on? Do I need to remove some apps?
I don't know why juice defender?? The Shift has a great battery as it is.
No need for such apps.
I got the feeling that it is juice defender what is causing your troubles since usually those apps shut down your data services to save battery.
Try resetting everything to default on juice defender and get rid of it.
I have only had Juicedefender for like 3 days, the issue has been ongoing for a month or more sadly

What about a data reset??
I had the same problem bro. A factory reset fixed the issue.
I think I will do the reset tonight... I need to back up all of my phone numbers though and sprint said this phone wont do it. This was an odd statement to me because when I upgraded from my Samsung Instinct S30, all of my contacts were in this new phone and all they did was activate it... no sync or hooking it up to anything.
Ugh... Well the Data Reset worked... I can now send pics through MMS. However I have lost all of my contacts. Oh well... time to start fresh lol.
UPDATE!!
Accounts and Sync... Sync your google account and BAM!! All contacts are back!
That's why I always export my contacts to my SD card. Keep that in mind

Same issue here. Has been ongoing for some time. I've heard turning off WiFi while sending pictures works and it seems to be hit and miss.
This happened on both CM as well currently on MikShift. Also with GoSMS and default messaging app

I don't see why.. contacts are saved on Gmail so just sync your Gmail acct and they should be there again..

At the time I was unaware that Gmail and my phone was linked like that... I am glad though, now I won't hesitate to do a factory reset if something messes up again. Also, I talked my girlfriend into an HTC phone... she got the EVO 4G in white. She loves it.
I have my Email app setup and I'm not using the gmail app. I get emails and it vibrates and makes a sound, the notification will show in the notification bar for 1-2 seconds max then will disappear. This happens allot but not all of the time. I have notifications enabled for my 4 accounts, like I said it shows sometimes and not for specific accounts.

This is a continuation of a thread I saw in T-Mobile. I am having this issue as well and I wish there was a fix!
Guess no one else has this issue?
Alrighty, Stu,...
We played this game regarding the forced closed Email app,...I'm going to wait and see what you find out regarding the email notification disappearing instead of trying to figure it out myself and realize you already found out the cause AFTER I spent the time figuring it out on my own,...
Won't fool me twice, sir!!
Nimitch the ball is in your court. I have no idea why the damn notifications show then disappear. Please figure it out and let me know. I am stumped!
same here on dissapearing
Anyone have any idea in how to solve this? This is driving me crazy
Yeah I have this issue also. Though it was just me.

I have the issue also. I installed the email and exchange apk's from the 4.4 dump and everything seems to be working well. Maybe it is just an issue with the Samsung email app. I would revert back if it gets fixed as I liked the Samsung app.

Had the same problem with Samsung app, I think it was happening when you were getting mail on one account and new mail was coming to another. I switched to 4.4 and uninstalled the original samsung one. I love how every account in 4.4 has a separate notification area. I wish it had an option to disable multiple message stacking though.
Hi guys,
i've updated to KitKat from 4.3 on my Nexus and now i am not receiving new email sound notifications unless i open the app and mark all messages as read. This is my work account (exchange) and the issue is really annoying because my daily email flow is about 100 messages. Most require my attention right away and i have to turn the phone on and off every few minutes to see if new message is there.
i've tried re-adding the account, changed notification sound, updated to 4.4.1 and then to 4.4.2 but the issue is still there.
any suggestions?
device is complete stock.

I'm having the same issue here. Did not notice the issue on 4.4 or 4.4.1 but as soon as I updated to stock 4.4.2 the issue showed up. Sometimes the unread email will be there if I open the app but no notification sound or icon. I'm also getting delayed push emails randomly. It seems to work fine for an hour or two then no emails will show up unless I manually pull and I'll get a flood and e-mails will come in normally for a while.

i am still getting emails pushed, but no notification sounds...
any ideas how to fix this???
I tried wiping my device and flashing the factory image, issues remain.
Something I have noticed is that the second I open the Email application, the messages show up in the list .. of course no notifications.. Another behavior is that when the sync is configured with "Push" it is supposed to be realtime, and before KitKat, it was that way.. I'd get an alert on my phone the next second I received an email.. However, that also seems to be screwed up as well. I was hoping this 4.4.1 or 4.4.2 would resolve the issue but it didn't.
So I contacted google about this yesterday and the first few emails went nowhere. Then they transferred me to a 'specialist', here is their response:
Hello Brian,
Thank you for your response. Not being able to sync your emails through exchange is frustrating. I would be more than happy to assist you in syncing with the Exchange server. Unfortunately, at this time in order to sync with the Exchange server you need to access a third party app through 'Google Play'. In the future there may be updates to the Android OS that may allow for syncing with the Exchange server. Currently, Kitkat is unable to facilitate syncing with the Exchange server.
If you have any further questions, concerns or downloading a third party app does not resolve the issue please feel free to reply to this email or contact us at support.google.com.
Best Regards,
Valerie
The Google Support Team

WOW!
Will they pay for that third party application for us???
I remember how everybody was bashing Apple when their update broke exchange sync. But they fixed it quite fast.
Never thought i will see that approach from Google...
Very sad
anybody was able to fix the issue?
anyone?
still have this annoying issue!

Same here.. I really need a fix for this, I keep missing important messages
I think Google tweaked the email client to turn off notifications unless you open the app. If you get the first email, it will make a sound. If you don't open the app and check it, it will stop notifying you of further emails. I'm really not sure what the solution will be to this issue..
This is on my Nexus 5, but I have the same email client that the N4 does.
you can change that in settings :

That's a Gmail setting, we're referring to the native email app that handles Exchange accounts
For me not
It always works for me
try using the application of your email provider(f.e. if you have a microsoft account use outlook.com app). that is what i do and i don't have any problem anymore. if you like to have all your different accounts in one application i would suggest to find another application. droid mail and k9 mail are quite good as far as i know

It makes an audible beep every time you get a new email in the "Email" app even if you don't open the app every time? Are you on 4.4.2?

I use it for my Exchange account for work email, there's no other email provider client. I'll see if I can get droid mail or K9, but they're relatively expensive options for just this 1 issue.
Ever since I received the update to Nougat when I receive an Email the screen I am in is replaced with the open email message, for example if I am in the middle of a Text Message and an Email comes in the Email is displayed interrupting me typing etc. Other than installing a 3rd party Email App. is there a way to turn off this behavior? I have looked but cannot find it.
Thank you
Went ahead and installed Boxer, which solved my issue. Wish I knew if the issue I was describing was just to my device or not? Would have liked to stay stock on Email but oh well.

Samsung goofed up the stock email client in Nougat. Mine won't authenticate unless it is on 4G. I even have AT&T fiber!
I switched to Blue Mail. It works pretty well so far, and isn't a battery hog like Gmail.
I never had an issue with authentication. Just the issue I reported might be by design but very annoying to lose focus of the app you are currently using when new email comes in.
Have not heard of Blue Mail, I went with boxer because a co-worker recommended it.
