Hi there!
I am on a DHD Dutch stock version, kernel: 2.6.35.10 / build 3.12.405.1
I have a problem with the notifications: I don't get any! That is to say..I do receive a notification in the bar and there is the flashing LED,m but no sounds. This is for all apps which are supposed to give you sounds (facebook/email/whatsapp/sms etc).
Of course I have checked the settings..I also tried a hard reset, but neither are working.
According to the shop I will have to send my phone, but you can imagine that I don't like to send my phone away for 2 weeks if I can solve this myself. I was waiting for the ICS update and with all the hassle going on for the update (is it coming or not...), I would rather wait with putting a custom rom on it..
however since the absence of notifications is really annoying...does anyone know a solution?
thanks a lot,
Karin
Missing Notifications
I had the same problem back before i put a custom rom on my phone.
i would say just root your phone and flash a rom of your liking. MIUI is nice
that would fix your problem.
with me i think it turned out to be a conflict between the notification settings in my apps and in the phone itself.
in messages there should be settings to change the notification. have you looked there?
I guess i will have to do that if nobody knows a solution...i think it is some kind of bug...in the stock rom...
I have checked my settings, and...resetting to factory settings didn't help to get notifications back, not even for text messages for example...

Notification fix
I know you checked settings.
Did this include opening the message app to the main screen, them pressing menu>settings>notification>play notification sound?
also while in notification settings on your messaging app, choose one of the sounds and is should play as a preview. does this work?
have you set "quiet hours" on your phone?

no , just checked again
damn...so i guess i am going to root again...it is a while ago...my last custom rom was with my samsung i8910 :s
Wanted to let you know that I solved it
First, I have set all settings, being the general settings, specific settings and app settings to ' do not receive any notification'... This didn't change anything, it even kept on giving led flashing although I disabled that....
than I did a factory reset again...after that, all settings were on 'standard', and nothing was working...
Then I changed everything to a custom sound in stead of the standard beep... No luck....
then I did the factory reset again....and than suddenly it worked
Yeah....
(although I am still seriously tempted to root )

I upgraded to 2.2 OTA yesterday. Everything has worked great except that out of all issues, the notification sound for my text message became a very low key pop sound. I attempted to change it various times and tried resetting my phone a couple of times to see if that changed anything and nothing.
The funny part is I can still change the sound notifications for my twitter, so it is specifically the text messaging that is causing a problem. I have never rooted and didn't flash that early froyo, just the legit one yesterday.
Can anyone help me?
Does anyone have any ideas ?
Have you tried a reboot?

By rebooting you mean turning off and turning on? If yes I have many times and tried taking out the battery too.

Im rooted using fresh right now it is built on the latest OTA and I'm trying to replicate your problem. What happens when you attempt to change the sound also where are you changing the sound at in messaging settings or the default in sounds?

When I go to settings/sound/notification sound I click any of the sounds and click ok. (As I highlight any of them it plays the preview sound).
Then I exit and have multiple people text me and it plays a little tiny sounding popping sound instead of whatever sound I picked.
Now I am on launcher pro and attempted changing on regular sense and nothing happened. I'm also using chompsms. (maybe uninstall chompsms?)
I don't know what to do . I turned off the phone several times and also took out the battery. Twitter notifications work fine, so its directly related to texting
go into your messages home screen press menu, press settings, scroll to received messages heading, make sure play notification sound is checked and than select a notification sound from the next option below and select ok

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG THANK YOU !!!!!!!! You have no idea how frustrated I was with this !
I really appreciate it man.
OK for the first time since I had this phone which is almost a year I installed sprint lovers which I usually use onto my replacement phone and actually got notifications like wall posts and pictures to pop up in my notification panel on my phone and they would be instantly pushed as soon as they happened. Usually the only notification that did show up in my notofication panel were messages events and friend requests but never actual notifications like wall posts and tags from facebook and I'd get them at the refresh intervals set on facebook app. Well I installed cm7 and it wont do that anymore I can't get the instantly pushed notifications. I know there is away somehow since I finally managed to get it on sprint lovers but I have no clue how I did it. So any help

Open Facebook app, hit menu, then setting, then notification. Change the sound from silent and put check marks in some boxes

thats not going to do it. the boxes are for messages friends and events. None for wall posts photos tags ACTUAL notifications. and adding a sound doesnt make them pop up in my notification panel
Well push notifications finally started suddenly working for me on CM7. I can't tell you why it works now but for what it's worth I have refresh set to never, notifications active with notification ringtone set to silent. My contacts are also synced. If those settings don't work adjust your settings in your facebook account perhaps.
Guess it happend to you too what version are you running maybe it's the version that works

Try going menu>settings>apps and find Facebook. Click it and clear data/cache. Reboot your phone and see if that helps. It ussualy fixes things in a lot of apps for me. And if that doesn't work and your rooted go into rom manager and fix permissions. Reboot after that and hopefully it will work for you. Hope this helps

did you restore it from titanium or did you just re download it from the market. because i have noticed when switching between roms types (which for me is like every 3 days or less haha) such as sense to aosp or 2.2 to 2.3 etc some apps have some left over data from previous installations (if using titanium) and it messes with other roms. like when i switched from cm7 (aosp) to myn's warm twopointtwo (2.2 sense) 2 days ago about a good half of the apps i restored didn't work.
nope i always download it from the market
Flow is good for push notifications, you have to set it up through your email account. I've never had the stock Facebook app work right. If I actually used Facebook more than once a month I might care.
I think the name of Flow just changed to Friend Caster or something, if you're interested in looking it up.

Somehow it pushes notifications again didn't do anything. So maybe they finally worked out push notification because since day one of the evo release it didn't work and now this is the second time in 2 weeks it works

Hi guys.
Am running a stock Evo 4g, and when i receive text messages, the notification light does not flash. Iv made sure to check that is checked on in the settings menu, but for some reason more often than not ive an unread text message (SMS) but the notification led does not flash. the notification light flashes just fine for all other alerts, eg gmail.
also, am using the built in sms app. no third party sms/mms apps installed.
what gives?
regards,
asmd.
Did you check in the messaging app settings or just phone settings...I'm not sure but there might be something in there that has it turned off...I can't confirm cus I'm running miui and my settings menu is different than yours I'm sure

thanks for the reply.
have checked both menus. The setting menu as well as the messaging app menu. cant find anything that could have been turned off to set the notification led not to flash.
regards,
asmd.
googling for this only brings up my own post here at xda!!
wtf?? how can i be the only one with this problem?
am running stock, no root, a couple of games installed, skype, fb... no alternate core system apps. triple checked all settings, and yet it doesnt flash when i receive text messages.
*disgruntled*
asmd.
after a couple of resets, ive got the notification led back again.
really know what i did to get it working or what caused it to stop.
so summary, reset solved the problem. (after 3rd time)
Just so you know, the LED will stop blinking after 6-7 minutes of you receiving a text/MMS/missed phone call....
It's by design. A HTC rep told me it was to 'conserve' on battery power.... LED's don't use THAT much juice...
thanks for the reply.
i knew that.
my problem was that it wouldnt flash at all on receiving a new text message.
but its working now.
wish i knew what went wrong.
I'm getting no sms notifications (not in status bar or SMS tone) and I can't link my ring tone and SMS tone volume. Even with aftermarket ringer apps. The options r grayed out. Has this happened before?
I was rooted, then unrooted and went back to stock ROM. Using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099
Any help would be appreciated.

Did you restore data when you went back to stock?
If so, I'd try to factory data reset and configure your phone from scratch loading no data.
i did restore data, then did another factory reset. still had the same issue. i'll try it again.

i did another factory reset and still nothing. Both of the apps i downloaded have the box grayed out for combining the ringer and SMS volume.
i downloaded "Quick Settings & Rvolume Control".

I'm more worried that you aren't getting any notifications for SMS.
Are you using the stock Messaging app?
Are the notifications turned on (stupid question I know but its a question that needs asking sometimes)

I followed what I could and nothing. The notification toggle isn't in the pull down. I went and got another copy from qbking77 and flashed again. Still nothing.

Hello everybody,
I got a strange problem occuring only in a certain situation. In order to explain better, have a concrete example here:
I write a message in Whatsapp or Threema. Then I lock the phone by closing the flip cover: The screen then shows the clock from "Asus Flip Cover" and turns off after 5 seconds. So far so good. Now: When I get a message, I hear the notification sound. I open the flip cover and... the notification immediately disappears. So sometimes I miss important messanges, just because of this bug.
At first I thought that it is a third party app that is responsible for this strange behaviour. But yesterday I did a reset of the entire phone via the settings app and didn't even use a backup to restore it. The bug reappeared.
Apparently nobody else is encountering this bug, so before sending the phone back I thought that maybe someone has an idea or even solution for me. The phone is the ZE551ML (not rooted or unlocked) and yesterday I also installed the new firmware (.59); the bug was there since I got the phone, but as I said: I thought it is a third party app that is responsible for this behaviour and I had no time to reset it earlier because of exams and stuff... Is there another way to reset the phone? Maybe a better one than the one over the settings app?
Sincerely,
Christophe
Is autostart denying these apps from automatically starting? By default it denies all apps. D'you have smart-saving mode on with extend standby or the option that turns off data when screen is off?
Is your lockscreen set to show notifications?

WhatsApp and Threema are both allowed to auto-start. I remember that I had to set both of them to "allow".

The following are my settings under "Settings" -> "Sound & notification":
When device is locked: Show all notification content
App notifications: Threema and Whatsapp have no special settings
Apply Material Design: OFF
Notification access: ASUS Launcher
I'm sorry you're experiencing this. I'm tagging ASUS employee @Tuanies hopefully he can provide further assistance. I'm out of ideas since you have already factory reset the phone.
Does this happen if you disable the flip cover features?

You mean turning the entire Asus Cover View off? I just tried and the messages still disappear. Actually the screen turns on automatically, the lockscreen appears and they disappear within a second.
After the reset I even got the strange behaviour that messages arrive, sometimes, late or only when I open the specific app.
Do you have any notification filters set?

No.
Just tell me if you think the problem is hardware related or software related. Personally I wouldn't say it is hardware related but one may never know for sure.
I know the firmware from ASUS is quite buggy (and has a lot of translation faults btw.) and, according to some research on the internet, ASUS often tries to break the law by not repearing rooted devices even if it is entirely legal in the EU. So before unlocking the bootloader and trying an alternative firmware, I just want to be sure.

Sounds like a software problem, does it happen right after a wipe without anything else installed? Could just be an installed app causing issues.

What do you mean by "wipe"? Do you mean booting into recovery? As is mentionned above I did a reset via the settings of the phone. After this reset I only installed Threema and Whatsapp and the problem appeared again.
Does it happen before those two apps are installed?

How should I know? The problem appears with messaging apps, so I can't test it without them.
a possible answer
I think I had the same problem after arbitrarily swiping or tapping the wrong response to use CM lock for Asus with the latest updated.
Google "Lock apps" function integrated with CM AppLock" to navigate to a possible hidden app setting preventing you from seeing notifications and uncheck "Hide notifcations... " under the "Options" heading on said page.
shortcut:
(App Drawer settings, lock apps, input pattern you chose, settings (upper right 3 dots), uncheck "Hide notification")
I now have all my notifications back that I allowed in other settings.
I hope this helps.
