I have set my lock screen to "productivity", so I can see my alerts, the "issue" is that my GMail app notifications do not appear, am I missing a setting somewhere or is this the same for everyone?
Well, I can only select MAIL in Settings, GMail is missing.. seems to be a missing Software Feature.. Maybe because GMail isn't a Sense-App?

Same for me, the option in settings allows you to only pick accounts set up in the Email app.
Another annoyance!

So I have a question. I've got two accounts on my email tab on TP2. My gmail and my hotmail. Both are set to check but the only one that ever checks unless I manually tell it to check is gmail. Anyone else have this problem?
Open your Windows Live app.
Tap Menu.
Tap Options
Tap Sync Schedule
Set accordingly (you probably have this set to Manual at the moment)
Tap Done
Tap Done
Thanks muchly
Hey there everyone, just wanted to see if anyone's experienced the same problems as I have.
So I have 2 email accounts with gmail, one personal and one work account. I've enabled both of these accounts in both the mail app and the gmail app, and set notifications to be true for both accounts in each app.
Whenever a new email is sent however, it doesn't seem like the default mail app sends any notifications. Another thing is that even when I go into the app and force a sync, the icon on Home will only show the unread count for only 1 of the accounts.
I am still rather confused as to whether 'Sync Automatically' has to be turned on along with either WIFI/Mobile Internet to be able to receive notifications? Do you need to have 'Sync Automatically' enabled all the time, or would an active WIFI connection suffice?
Thanks in advance!
*Update*
It seems the Gmail App works fine, but not the Mail app regardless of whether only one or both are running... any ideas?
Bumping this up...
Anyone experience any problems with the default mail notifications?
I can see how to Manually Refresh the Calendar (Menu --> Refresh in the Calendar App) and Facebook feeds but cannot see the option to Manually Refresh Facebook Contacts and Google Contacts.
Where is this? Thanks
You can do Google contacts via...
Settings -> Accounts & Sync -> Manage Accounts, Google -> Sync Contacts
I'm not sure if you can do Facebook contacts that way too though, as I don't use Facebook.
Thanks but that's how you do it automatically.
You have to mess around enabling and then disabling it again. The Sync button cannot be used unless you enable (tick) it but by doing so, you're also enabling the Automatic Sync. Yes it also works for Facebook Contacts but the same rule applies.
I'm not sure there's an option like the one for the calendar, but if you're concerned about how often this is happening, and want to only allow updates on demand, one option would be to use the "Power Control" widget and you could then control them all with one click on, or off.
Probably not quite what you're after, but the best compromise I can think of at the moment!
Maybe someone else will have a better idea...
Thanks. I'll have a look. What does the half moon with antenna coming out of it button do? On this widget.
That switches the GPS on or off.
Ah. Thanks.
For some reason, my Facebook application (the official one from the market) does not create any notifications when I receive a message, etc on Facebook. Only when I actually open the Facebook application does it realise I have a message and then creates a notification.
In Facebook -> Menu -> Settings I have Refresh Interval set to 30 minutes and Notifications checked. What could I be missing?
Thanks.
You're not missing anything. In my experience all FB apps, even the one on my iPhone, have this problem or at least that of inconsistent notifications. I suspect the FB API is pants.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Do you have a task killer/manager running that auto kills...?? If so make sure to exclude all instances of Facebook, even if there are duplicates, as this will stop notifications being diaplayed.
That could be, I'll set ATK to ignore Facebook and report back if it starts working. Thanks.
Hi just got this phone today, ive changed it in the notifications ring, but it hasnt changed it, keeps with the default one, so wondered if anyone knows why its doing that
Try launching the sms app, press menu, settings and notification sound

This also works on ur gmail, Hotmail, google chat, facebook chat, calendar. make sure inside the app, setting and go to notification setting choose ur ringtone. The only one I cannot change is my voice mail alert...it uses the default ringtone.
