Hey all,
I've been on the iPhone for the last 2 years, but decided to jump back into the Android world. Picked up the US. T-Mobile Galaxy S8+ and so far the only annoyance I have is this:
If I receive an Exchange email notification (tried default app, Outlook for Android, & Nine), and then read the email on my computer the notification does not clear on the phone. On the iPhone, it would automatically clear out.
I disabled the battery saving features to make sure the phone isn't putting my app to sleep, but it's still not working. Is this just a limitation of Android? I can't remember how it was a few years ago.
Thank you!
I have the same question. Thanks for posting. Did you end up getting a solution from anyone?

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.

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!

Hello everyone.
So first of all I love this phone, the speed, the capabilities and especially the battery life.
What I don't feel is tied to just this phone is me not being able to get facebook notifications. I get a notification if I receive a new message but that's all.
This happened on my Note 3 as well. I have logged in on a friends phone into my facebook account and the same thing. I do not get any notifications. I even used the old method of trying to log in on a blackberry and that didn't work either.
What I have noticed in Facebook Account settings is that I can not check on "group post or comments" under my notification settings.
I'm thinking it's some old app that I used on another phone that stopped this from working but I could be wrong. I have tried to turn off app on the platform setting and still nothing works.
All I receive now is the number of notifications "number" on the Facebook app icon. Don't shoot me but I like getting the actual notifications from Facebook to my phone to alert me.
Does any of you kind souls have an idea to how I can fix this? Or something you have tried that got your notifications working again.
I know about some third party apps but that's not what i'm looking for if I can help it.
Any help or ideas help.
Thank you
Did you got a solution?
I have this issue since a year and I cannot fix it. It's related to my account because whenever I log in to any other account, I got notifications.

Has the schedule an email option been removed or is it me who can't find it in email client?!
Here is how it works on my Note 3
Go to ‘Emails’
Enter the email address you want to send to and compose the message in the normal way
Tap the ‘Expand Menu’ icon
Tap ‘Schedule Sending’
Set the time you want the message to send
Set the date you want the message to send
Tap ‘Done’
I really need this great feature that I have been using a lot. Is there any other email clients that has it? I don't like K-9 Mail. Thanks in advance.
I miss this feature too, coming from Note4.
Seems the new mail app does not have it, in the message app it's still there!
What the hell, Samsung?! I relied on this simple email scheduling feature in the native email client on my Galaxy S3, S4, & S5. First they eliminated the micro sd card slot and removable battery (grrr!) And now I can't find this useful feature. I had liked my previous galaxies so much, each one better than the last, that I didn't bother to do much research before upgrading to the S6. I feel like Samsung has betrayed its loyal customer base in hopes of attracting a share of Apple's devotees. Dumb move!
My thought exactly. They are going in the wrong direction. Only good thing is the "premium" quality instead of the old Samsung plastic.
Why Samsung why???
Why did u remove this amazing feature Samsung..
.why?
has anyone found a way to get back the schedule send email later and schedule send text later options I had on my S5 that my $850 S8+ doesn't have?
S8+ here too and I'm disappointed that they haven't brought back that useful function. I tried moving the apk file from S5 and other roms with no success. We need someone with experience to help us out. I would even pay for a working stock email apk with schedule function.
Boomerang app has schedule send, so far so good.

And its 2023 and Samsung still hasn't added scheduled send lmao.
im still waiting for the answer from 2015
Hey everyone!
I bought a Samsung S8 two days ago and there is one thing that bothers me A LOT. I spent a lot of time on my computer working, so I usually open my e-mails, Facebook and Twitter messages on it. However, after opening those messages, I want notifications to go away on my phone, but it's not happening.
This worked perfectly on my S6, but S8 is really annoying and I am not sure how to fix it. Anyone?
Another question: Any way to turn off heads-up notifications? They are killing me.
Anyone?
