Hi guys, I wonder if this is a setting issue or something.
I have my phone set to vibrate mode. I get notifications on second screen as per normal when i am using the phone. When the phone is locked, sometimes I still get instant notifications (ie. gmail, whatsapp etc)
But sometimes the phone doesn't show any notifications at all! (Noticed this as I was logged into gmail on pc, I had new emails but none were popping on the phone)
However, upon unlocking the phone, all the notifications started popping in!!
This defeats the purpose of a second screen if I have to unlock the phone to receive notifications!
Please help~
It sounds like the phone went to 'sleep' and doesn't wake even as I get new mails and stuff.
EDIT: I have tried battery optimization, set gmail and other mail apps to ignore. But that doesn't help.

i have a problem with e-mail..
When my Tocuh Hd in sleep mode, i can not see any signal or notification while a e-mail is recieved (from web based gmail). After i open the screen accumulated e-mails are received and warn me with sound and vibration and flash light as i arranged before..
I have a no problem with data connection or getting instant message from Live messenger..my cell warn me when i get instant message even it is in sleep mode.
How can i get E-mail notifications like SMS?
Ever since I enabled activesync for pushing gmails to my phone, my vibration notification for incoming emails gets stuck on vibrate whenever I receive an email. What I mean by getting stuck on vibrate is that the phone literally stays on vibrate and will only stop once I wake up the phone. Any ideas what might be causing this?

Have you got the email notification sound set to a file that is no longer there?
1024 Leo, USA T-Mobile version.
It only happens with incoming email, SMS and calls are fine.
When I try to reproduce the problem, I simply have to wait for the phone to check for new mail. The the phone notifies me about new email. If I try to turn the screen on, it won't. The hard button lights up, indicating the phone is on but I can't interact with the screen. Resetting the phone via the red button is the only remedy.
If I act real fast when new mail comes, sometimes I'm able to start sliding to unlock but it still crashes. If I'm really fast I'm able to even get to the mail screen but it still crashes.
But the crash does not occur if I'm already using the phone when new email comes in. If I want to reproduce it, I have to leave the phone "alone", with the screen off. If the screen is on when the new mail comes in, the crash does not occur.
The problem started occurring with completely stock phone, the very first day, without making changes. As I cab tweaked the phone, (no ROM) the problem persists, it happens.
Because of this problem, when I wake up in the morning, I can't use my phone because the screen doesn't turn on and I have to restart the phone so I can use it. My mail send/receive interval is set for 4 hours so while I sleep the phone receives new email at least once.
I investigated similar problems for TP2 and Touch HD but it does not help.
I backed up everything on my phone so I'm ready to make changes if you have any advice. I checked for: changing the email ring tone, wake up on new email setting. They have no effect on this problem.
After this happens, I tried calling my phone. It will not ring, but the hard buttons light up but are unresponsive, I can't neither pick up nor reject the incoming call. I sent an SMS to the phone in this state, it didn't do anything.
Do you have knowledge that can help me? Is anyone willing to try to reproduce the problem on their phone?
All you would do is set any ring tone for incoming mail, leave the phone with the screen off and "wait" for new email to come in. Don't do anything for a minute and then check if the crash occurred.
Please help, I hate waking up to a crashed phone that I need to restart every time. Because of this problem, setting a wake up alarm is useless.
If you can't help with this, at least is there any way I can "force" the phone to restart without removing the battery cover?
Thank you.
I didn't notice this before
but now that i actually use the phone (rather than play with it )
I noticed the phone will automatically do a short alert every now and then, if you are on bluetooth you'll hear it
if bluetooth is not ON, then it will just do a short vibrate
but there is no email, no missing calls, no missing SMS, no nothing of anything, yet every 30min give or take does a random wake up? alerts, then goes back to sleep.
perhaps it's some of the software that i've setup to check for update/refresh every 30 min
but if there are no changes, the Alert tone/music shouldn't go off, right?
Hey AG
I have not had experience of this. I am using chomp and not have had any strange alerts.
Pull a logcat and see if you can see what's going on.
Sometimes it's helpful for me to have the phone plugged to usb and running logcat (via adb) full time to my terminal, then I have it open and ready to see what's scrolled on the screen when the odd thing happens.
Hello folks,
Since upgrading to the S4 from my S4, I seem to be having a very odd and annoying issue.
I normally have Touchdown which I use for email set to notify via sound and light only, however when I set my GS4 to vibration mode, and despite not changing my touchdown settings, the phone vibrates for new emails.
My research has shown that yes, you can disable vibration altogether (system wide) to avoid this but I want to know if there is a way to ONLY get Touchdown not to vibrate on new email when the phone is set to vibration mode.
Thanks for your input!
Bump!

I just got an upgrade to my Sprint S3 to 4.3. Now I have this problem. Did you discover a solution?
More info: currently, my email notifications in Touchdown are set to custom sound and vibrate off. When the phone is in normal sound, I don't get a vibration and get my custom sound. When the phone is in vibrate, then I get a vibrate notification for my email. I suspect that there is a way to do this via "Blocking Mode", but I don't want to put the phone in and out of that every time I turn on vibrate.
Thanks.

Nope.
Pretty sure it's a system wide thing in Android as it seems to apply to other apps as well.
Which sucks.
That does indeed suck. I'm going to try using "Blocking Mode", but it's still a bit more universal that I want.
