Hi All,
Just upgraded with the AT&T release of WM6. Everything works well though the phone has done a few quirky things like locking up on the unlock screen and once setting off the vibrate notification and never stopping.
Two questions though.
1. The Messaging app periodically checks for mail and then vibrates the phone and pops up a notification telling me I have x unread messages. I KNOW that I have unread messages and have not chosen to read them but I get a new notification every time it checks to see if there are new messages regardless of whether any new ones came in or not.
Can the notification be stopped without shutting off all notifications from other apps?
2. Every time I turn the screen off, when I turn it back on whatever app I had running has gone to the background and the phone has shifted to the today screen. Can this be stopped? I want it to be whereever I left it. I have searched but cannot find an option for that behavior.
I have to say that the Bluetooth stack works SOOO much better than did the one in WM5. And I love that Messaging now supports HTML. Profimail stopped working with html links in messages from yahoo news and it was getting annoying that I could not go to the full article if I wanted to read more.

My TP2 has developed a problem where it doesn't beep when I get SMS or email messages, and the first I know is when I look at the phone and see the notification icons on the TF3D bar.
I have the tones turned on under settings>sounds and notifications>notifications. The event new text message has an alert, and I have tested the sound which does work, but it just doesn't seem to play when I get a new message, nor for emails.
Make sure "Notifications (alarms,reminders)" is checked in sounds & notifications setting panel.
Same problem with Windows Live mail... SMS and other email seems to work...
yes, i have checked that and it definitely is checked. any other suggestions anyone?
Do you use an application called Gyrator by any chance? I had this exact same issue with my SMS / email tones. Try quitting/disabling Gyrator and see if it has any effect in your case.
I've had the same problem since day 1 with my TP2. I configured my email accounts and they've never managed to play a notification. SMS works fine, but emails don't. I have 4 email accounts and have to continually check for the flashing green notification light.
I've settled on waiting to see if any 3rd party ROMs solve it, following release of HardSPL (it's an exciting wait!).
Oddly enough I seem to have the same issue with another screen rotator app called changeScreen. I wonder what it is that causes these screen rotator applications to disable the alert tone for both SMS and e-mails? I do get the blinking led though...
SOLUTION (for me)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's wrong to assume screen rotation software is affecting the notifications. I had the problem before installing such software.
Incidentally, since my problem was confined to email notifications, I've installed a workaround in the form of GudenSoft's 'Email Scheduler'. When using that software, my email notification sounds are working just fine.
Here it is if anyone else wants to try it - http://www.gudensoft.com/emailscheduler/
yes, I do have Gyrator 2 installed, but I don't think that is the problem. I exited the application and sent myself a couple of texts from another phone and it still didn't give me an alert.
Oh well I think it is hard reset time. I'll install things one by one and try to find what causes my problem and let you know my findings!
Hey guys i noticed 2 days ago that when i receive an sms i get two notifications (previously i had only one). The first one says that i have # new messages and when you click on it it takes you to the messages app where you see all the threads you have. And the second notification is the default one which has the sender and a preview of the sms message.
I didn't find the first notification anywhere neither in the guide or online but i only want the default notification with the sender and the preview...
In addition even if you click on the first notification it stays there but it says no new messages!!!
How do i disable this ???
edit: i uploaded screenshots that show this notification
edit2: i even disabled the notifications in the messages app and i don't get the sms preview notification but this one still comes up!!!
ok please a mod close this thread......it was from the beautifull widgets 2...i didn't have the sms widget on my home screens but it still was getting notifications.UNINSTALLED and everything ok
No No No - Dont close this
This has annoyed me for 4 days now and if this fixes it, then it needs to be left there....
Testing to see if it works now.......
Yup it works, Uninstalled the same app and we have lift off..
Thank you. this has dont my nut in all weekend.....
I have also had this problem for the last few days, but didn't connect Beautiful Widgets with it. Problem solved when BW uninstalled.
Hi there,
just did a quick search in these forums an didn't find a similar problem or an answer, so here's my problem / question:
On my Desire (official FroYo, not rooted or anything like that) i've set up my e-mail account (not googlemail) in the stock e-mail-app.
It's the german e-mail-provider web.de, and as i'm a paying customer there i get full IMAP access. (but just to mention it, the problem still occurs when using POP3, but i'm using IMAP on my phone anyway ).
I've set up the phone to check for mails every 5 minutes, and in this case everything works just fine.
Usually it works this way:
I receive a new e-mail, it plays the notification sound and LED is blinking. fine so far.
I open the mail, notifications disappear. Just like it's meant to be.
Now the other case, where i'm not capable of instantly opening the newly received mail:
I receive a new e-mail, it plays the notification sound and LED is blinking. fine so far.
Now i don't open the mail / react to the notification, after five minutes, when the phone checks for new mails like set up in the options, it plays the notification sound again. And five minutes later, again. And again. And so on...
Just to mention: This happens if i don't receive any more new emails, just the one.
So, my phone thinks it has received a new email, even if it has already checked for exactly that mail and as a consequence, tries to notify me. Which gets really annoying, if e.g. i'm sleeping at night and it starts making noise every five minutes.
Just an example, i know i could turn it silent but there are situations where this isn't possible...
When i'm using the Desire as a GPS-Navigation device while driving in my car, it gets really annoying. Pulling down the notification bar, clicking on the notification, opening and closing the email just to mark it as read, so that it won't play the notification any more is quiet tricky while driving...
So, is there any fix to this, without disabling the general sound-notification for new emails? I'd just like to hear (or not hear, if i'm not near the device) the Sound ONCE. And only again, if i receive any NEW emails, but not every five minutes for the same one until i open it...
yes i get the repeat email alert if i don't look at it.
would like an option to disable or set a time like every hour?
also i have this prob with getting text message for every email but i can see the email in the text too!!
I've been having an issue with this, and it's only started recently. FroYo has been installed for weeks prior to this (unbranded HTC Desire, so no mods or custom ROMS here).
I receive a text. The alert displays in the pull down menu. I pull down the menu, click the notification which then rotates the screen for a half second or so, opens the SMS app (default HTC messaging app), but it opens to the very first message in that thread meaning I have to scroll through around three hundred messages to get to the new one, or close the app, then re-open the messages via my icon which then jumps to the new message.
Quite weird. Any thoughts to help alleviate my head scratching?
All of a sudden I'm having a strange problem with notifications in the notification bar. It use to be till today when I got an email and I could read the top line then two finger pull down to reveal more. Since today it's the opposite all the notification is showing and I have to two finger push up to get it back to one line.
Any help on getting it back normal would be appreciated
I've noticed this behavior as well. I thought it was just me.....
Its very odd can't find any settings for it. Tried disabling and re enabling notifications but still happening
by default the first notification is expanded, might be you had other notifications before
that does make sense and could very well be the reason then usual do have a pile of emails as well as texts, but binned an email account as it was mostly junk. thanks for reply
