Notification problem: tap on new mail doesn't do anything

Hi,
I've noticed that when I get new mail, I get the little mail icon at the top of the screen. I tap and get the notification manager. When I tap on the new mail item, nothing happens. It's just an annoyance because normally I wouldn't bother and just go straight to the inbox, but jas anyone else come across and know of a solution please?
Cheers,
Pete

Hi there,
Just wanting to check in to see if anyone is having this problem.
To recap, when I tap on the notification area and get the list of notifications, if I tap on ANY notification (whether mail, SMS or reminder) nothing happens. All I can do is exit from the notification manager or dismiss all.
Anyone else seeing this please?
Thanks,
Pete

thats how it is with the stock rom im pretty sure...if you download something called the "topaz notification" it will enable you to do what ur trying to plus go directly to more specific settings directly from the notification manager...i used it on stock verizon...try it out...hit the thanks if it works

Thanks, I'll have a search and try it out

Notification problem - alarms as well
I have a similar issue - if I have an Alarm reminder and go to the Notification Screen, I can't select it - all I can do is dismiss it (actually dismiss all) and I can't see what the reminder was....any ideas out there?

same problem
I have the same problem and will be very gratefull if someone has a solution.

Also had that problem. I just figured it was caused by one of the programs I had installed. After removing several programs and resetting the device to default status, I still had the problem. So I decided it was time for a hard reset. That solved my problem. Drastic solution I admit, but it fixed the problem

I have the same problem with new messages and missed calls.
They wont be shown when I tap on it on the notification manager...

Just pinging this thread again to see if anyone might have ideas how to resolve this without a hard reset...

Some CM7 and GO DEV TEAM issues

Have been doing a bit more customising and almost set up properly but still a few hanging issues:
cormie said:
Sometimes when I unlock the phone, the brightness is set differently even though the ambience of where I am is the same, sometimes it could be dim and others bright and it doesn't really change.
Not fixed - CM7 issue
The Email app doesn't appear to be the best. It's very dark, is there any brighter theme available or maybe suggestion of another app for pop3 mail?
Not really an issue - APP Issue
I'm using GO SMS and unfortunately I'm still having an issue sending group messages, I've the option to seperate each message to each person into its own thread, sent a small group text, only to maybe 10 people yesterday and it split it into 4 separate threads, only 4 separate contacts who I sent it to as opposed to the 10, so where did the other 6 go? I couldn't check delivery status or anything.
Not Fixed -Possible App Issue, possible CM7 issue
Also with GO Dialer EX, I assume it's because I've over 1,900 contacts, but it freezes quite a lot if I'm going through my contacts/groups/adding new etc. Also you can't see the individual times of consecutive missed calls from one contact and if you have a missed call notification in the notification bar, clicking the notification used to clear the notification and bring you to the missed call screen, now it just brings you to the missed call screen but you have to go back to the notification menu to "clear" the notification, again, this didn't happen in sense and clicking to see the missed calls also cleared the notification. I also miss being able to just open up the dialer, press call on a blank field and it would call the last dialled, also with the way the call log is, I don't like that it groups the contacts together, I much prefer being able to see a log based on time only. Also by grouping the contacts together, you can't just click on a recent called contact and it will go to phone them immediately as you could with sense.
Not Fixed: App Issue, plus now discovered, if you have 2 missed calls, clear the notification and get 1 more missed call, the notification will come up again but say 3 missed calls
I miss the fact with Sense, you just clicked the clock and you got to your stopwatch/countdown timer/alarm straight away. Is there any way to get this back? Clicking the clock now brings me to a screen that isn't much use.
Fixed: App Issue - Got a separate stopwatch/countdown timer app and use stock alarm and using Go Weather widget
The included Calendar app widget has a few annoyances, you can't click a number to go straight to dialpad with from within an event, only 1 event is displayed in the widget and to go into details of that event you've to click into open the calendar first and then into the event. Again, the sense calendar app was better and you could also scroll through the events from the widget itself.
Fixed - Assigned swipe up and swipe down action to open calendar from home screen, this makes it just as quick as before to open the calendar app and gets right into the app, also I can now just click numbers and it opens the dialer, not sure what the issue was before but it's working grand now
Twitter widget is also worse than it was in sense, it only shows one tweet at a time as opposed to sense which you could again scroll down which is much handier if you're looking for say updates from AA Road Watch while stuck in traffic and you can just keep your eyes open for the AA logo on a scroll rather than clicking and clicking and clicking to see if they have any updates.
Not really an issue, I don't even use twitter that much
Calculator is too basic compared to sense one too
Fixed - Real calc
Another thing is I used to like to have "camcorder" shortcut instead of "camera" (I just feel it's better to have instant access to record something rather than photo it). You could easily then switch to camera if you want to photo something, there was no camcorder shortcut so I downloaded one, but it opens only the camcorder alone, as opposed to the same thing that you got when clicking the camera, in which you could easy switch between camera and camcorder. Any way to start that same thing, but just in camcorder mode by a shortcut?
Not really an issue, added camera and camcorder shortcut to home screens
Can someone also tell me if the CM7 "File manager" does the same as Astro? I installed Astro before realising there was a file manager there, guess there's no need for both so can I uninstall astro again? I'm only a very basic user that would be copying/pasting and installing apps via astro, so if this can all be done via file manager, I'll just get rid of Astro
Not really an issue, seems astro is better though, you can select multi select files in a folder to edit.move etc and just looks to be more options in general.

A few more issues then using Go Dev Team apps:
on froyo, I had handscent and loved the way if I got a text, the led would be a permanent blue until I read it. I checked this option in go sms too but it doesn't seem to be working at all. I tried flash on at 300ms and then off at 0, I also tried at 300/300 and it didn't seem to flash at all.
Have also noticed a bug in go sms where a different contact name could appear in someone elses text, which happened before with Handscent on froyo, was hoping it would have been fixed. I wonder is it go, or a bug with android itself that's causing this.
Hoping I can sort the above not fixed issues so any advice would be appreciated, the LED notification thing is a strange one, just doesn't seem to work at all for go sms but it may be something conflicting with the CM7 settings or stock settings? Any feedback appreciated!

Note & Thanks

Not sure what your reply means, are you on the dev team for go/cm7 or something? If so, have plenty of suggestions and bugs to report

[Q] Hello?! Wake up!!!!

When I receive a text message I want the screen to wake up for a few seconds. I can't find this option.
Using stock EVERYTHING right now.
I know other apps like GO SMS and Handcent have this option. But, anyone find a way with stock text message client??

no way to do it with the stock app. Unless someone finds a way to make it happen

I think the led notification is all ya get with stock with i like because it uses less battery

Lightflow app (led color control app in the themes/app section) does it as well as sms reminder etc. Theres a bunch of apps thatll do it for the stock messaging app.

Can't do it with stock... at least not stock phones on Sprint.
The stock SMS apps on US Cellular Android phones do this... I'm running a ROM on my Moment based off the Acclaim (DL25), and the SMS app turns on the screen for a couple seconds if not in use, or beeps quietly if you are on a call.

Prevent Screen from turning on when receiving a notification?

I tried searching xda and google and haven't found an answer to this question.
I'm using BLN to make the soft keys flash and that works great, but I'd like it if the screen didn't come on at all when I'm receiving notifications.
Is there an app/tool I can use to turn that off?
Thanks

This has been covered many times but I can see how it would be difficult to search.
The solution is to either use third party texting app (like hand cent) to circumvent the auto screen on or you can do what I did if you want to use stock messaging app and download "SMS popup" from the market, disable stock messaging notifications in settings in your messaging app and setting up your desired notifications through SMS popup instead making sure to disable "screen on for text" feature and any other features you will not be using (I. E. The actual pop up feature)
Also remember to enable led light notification in order to activate bln.
With this method you also will have the added ability to set custom notification tones for specific contacts =]
Please hit thanks if I have helped you!

Ah, yeah I did see someone saying they use handsent. I was looking for a less complicated solution (ie, just turning off the screen wake lol).
I'll try that for now. Thanks
Edit ***Just put on sms popup, and that's the perfect solution. I really wanted to avoid handsent as I don't like that application, and also my current ROM won't allow me to change the stock SMS icon on the main screen (Juggernaut 5.0)
That was the last step I needed and now I finally have my phone perfectly the way I wanted it

[Q] Sms notification suggestions?

Hey, I'm currently running AOKP ROm on my GS3 and I use the built in sms quick reply option for the notification drop down menu when I'm normally using the phone, But I want that same or similar feature for when my phone is locked. I currently have chompsms and enjoy its pop up, but its a bit much and runs slow. Is there any tweak than can be done to shunt the notification quick reply window that pops up after selecting quick reply in the drop down to the lock screen? Or is there an app that has a very clean and fast lock screen pop up?
I've tried most of the other sms apps out there including handcent, GO sms, sms pop up, and popup sms. Are there any others I could try?
Thanks
