I don't know why but for some reason I don't get notified when I receive a text messages and no sound either, I can only see my messages when I check the messages icon any solutions? All other apps such as whatsapp and facebook seem to be ok. Notifications are set to be on, I attached a photo
Settings > Notifications > Advanced
Scroll down to messages and click it, press allow notifications, etc
I had this problem for a while and finally figured it out yesterday after I sat down and realized how much it really bugged me. Haha
oops. i see.
Thanks it worked! It's confusing because on the app settings the notification is on but I didn't realize there was another notification settings on the phones itself.. thanks! :good:
Old thread, I know, but can I just express my thanks for this. Oh my god, it was driving me nuts trying to figure out why my phone, all of a sudden, stopped giving me audible text notifications. Got me in deep trouble with The Mrs. because I missed some of hers. Arrgh! I changed nothing, did nothing. Checked to make sure it was enabled in Sounds, and in the Messaging app itself. So, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Hi, I'm sorry if this has already been brought up by someone.
Every now and then I hear an unknown notification for something. I can't find what application is doing this and it's obviously something you can't set at the normal sound settings menu (all the tones I've selected for receiving SMS, ActiveSync, WiFi networks or any other app are different). It must be some kind of system notification, but I can't find out what is causing it, because it happens when I'm not even touching the phone.
(BTW, I have the LED notification installed, and it doesn't light up when this tone sounds).
does it sound a little bit like a bird tweeting? the twitter tab makes that sound when it auto updates.
Thanks for your quick reply!
Yeah, I've thought about that, because I thought it was Twitter in the first place, but I've checked and there were no new tweets when I checked after hearing the sound.
(But thanks a lot, it definitely is the Twitter notification sound, I just checked!). Now when does it sound... that's the question
It makes it even if there are no new tweets, it's just to tell you it has checked.
Well, ok then. But then it's not very consistent, because it should check every 5 minutes and I don't get notifications every 5 minutes
Hi Guys,
for some reason when i receive email to my phone it doesnt seem to vibrate or ring. It pops up on the email tab to say its been received but theres no kind of indication. Its sort of like its on silent. Ive checked all my sound settings and notifications, events e.t.c are on but still no joy.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Have you change manila language ?
Im a physician and need to use my EVo to be paged by SMS, can someoen recomend a setting or hack to ensure when message is recieved, I get notified every X mins till I acknowledge, this way I dont miss any messages
I like handcent SMS. It can do all sorts of stuff including reminders.

Handcent does not have the option
I beg to differ docsboard... It has many different reminder settings. I had the same need and it does extremely well. Try it and dig into the settings.
handcent does have the options for reminders.. can't tell ya where exactly it is in the settings, but it's there.
Handcent does have reminders. Open Handcent, on the main screen hit menu and open Settings > Notification Settings > Notification Settings and scroll down to Reminders.
Also try Tasker. Great app. Tasker > State > Received SMS > Sender >
Can set alerts, like flash led, vibrate, notify, etc. Can use it to call a number (home phone, pager?) play a sound, or anything else you can think of.
It's free on their home page, I recommend buying it from the market if you use it.
The good doctor must not have time to check his thread or thank people for their help, even when he overlooked Handcent altogether. Or he's just rude. Maybe he needs to get an e-mail reminder (assuming thread replies send him an email).
Kidding, kidding.

Just picked up the G2 yesterday and I love it for the most part. Hoping some of you can help me on one thing.
I generally keep my phone on vibrate mode and want notifications for text messages, calendar reminders, etc... but not when I receive a new email. I've checked my Gmail settings, and vibration is turned off there. However, my phone still vibrates for every email.
I've gone through every general setting I can, but I can't seem to figure out how to turn this off. Anyone have an answer?
it's not under the general settings, its under the account settings.

Gmail account settings? If so i already have those settings set correctly. If not which settings are you referring to?
Anybody else? I'd really like to solve this issue.

I went to accounts under settings and removed my gmail from the Email accounts. There is no reason to have gmail there when you can just use the gmail app... kinda annoying. Then you can just have gmail give you notifications when you get a gmail.. like it should be?
I know this thread is a bit old, but I still can't figure out how to stop Gmail from vibrating every time I get an email. Has anyone figured this quirk out?

If you are using the Gmail App then go to the gmail app settings > click your email> then "Inbox sound & vibrate" > uncheck vibrate
That's just it though, it still vibrates even when vibrate is not checked.

Anyone figure this out? I keep my phone on vibrate also and gmail vibrates every time even though it's unchecked.
Did you ever figure this out? I am also being affected by this problem.
Hi guys, yes I managed to make the incredible annoying vibrating to stop each time I get a new e-mail or message (sms).
Go to the Message-app - in the right corner (on the phone) press Menue - Settings - Turn off "Vibrate".
Now you should get no vibrations at all when receiving sms/mms or email (I have a Sony Xperia P).
this worked for me

Open gmail icon then in menu mode, look for settings under label settings. Not sure why it's there but it is. Open label settings and choose the device notifications
Sound, and under sound choices choose Silent. It's at the top of my lg choices. I can't think why they combined text and email. Who in their right mind want a d
ing every time an email comes in!??
hey.
for some reason, i dont get notification on whatsapp even after disabeling battery optimisation for the app.
i get them for about 1-2 minutes after screen off and then i stop getting them untill I open the app again.
anyone having the same issue?
and even better, anyone found a workarround?
I don't have this issue. But I do notice that sometimes it wont vibrate but I believe that its because the phone was not locked. Go into whatsapp Settings then Notifications and make sure its all good.
hmm mine come through fine. only thing that annoys me are these new in line replies for 7.0. i liked that when i clicked the convo from the dropdown menu or heads up notification it brought up that popup where you can swipe between messages without having to open the app and conversation.....you can't see more than the latest message with in-line notifications so it's annoying, and you have to open the entire convo bc clicking it in the dropdown now opens the whole app. kinda sucks compared to before!
Thanks for posting.
I have the exact issue and it's really annoying!
I keep missing other people's message until I wake the phone and open the App.
Is there a solution?
Try go to notification setting turn on the light setting
