Odd. New mail indicated. Can't see it.

I had 2 new mails in my Gmail. I read one, and couldn't see the other one, even though while I am in the vanilla Gmail app it still says 1 new mail at the top of my inbox. Ordinarily I would have just assumed a glitch and moved on.
Except right now I'm sitting in front of my computer and logged on via my computer. Sure enough, I do have a new mail that I still haven't read. I go back to my phone and the notification bar isn't showing any new mail but inside the Gmail app it shows one unread email. Though the view shows everything greyed out and the new mail which came today is not visible.
No refresh, exiting and re-entering or moving around the screen can fix it. I wish I could keep it like this to test what is going on, but I need to read and respond to the mail.
This is a strange one.

Same problem
I hadn't yet worked out the details, but I am almost certain that I've had the same problem. I certainly seem to see nothing new, even although the app says 1 unread.
Looks a bit like a sync error with the cloud. Anyone else got any thoughts?
[EDIT]
I just looked at my Desire and it told me I had 8 unread messages. Opening GMail it said the same in the title bar but only showed 6.
I opened GMail on my Mac and sure enough, I had 8 messages; there was nothing obviously different with the 2 missing ones.
I used Search on my phone to look for the 'missing' messages and to my surprise, they came up! So they are there on the phone, but not showing in the list? So my idea about a sync error is not so good!

Are the extra emails in the inbox, or do you have a rule which applies a label to them and moves them out of the inbox?

Good suggestion.
I know in my case (I just checked) it wasn't labelled and wasn't due to skip the inbox.
I think I may have had this once before and it is rare. But it is strange.

In my experience it happens sometimes but I have solved opening from the web browser Gmail, then you'll find the unread email. Once the unread email is opened, the notification will disappear. But maybe this is a different situation. I hope this can help you.

Yes, this happens from time to time. It's not a desire thing, it used to happen on my G1. I think it's normally a mail within a threaded mail that does it. Annoying but logging into the gmail website usually reveals the answer.

I had the exact same thing happen, not sure why it does it BUT i found the emails...
So SOLUTION/LOCATION of hidden emails are... in email app press menu, goto view labels and hit All Mail, this shows up the messages that didnt show up in the Inbox...
Hope this helps

I done that too, and I enabled large picture under the 'display contacts picture' setting. still no luck

in that case its probably an issue with handcent, itll probably get updated soon so keep your eyes open you can always leave a comment on the market?

You can add me to the list . I thought it might have been something I uninstalled, but doubt it.

Contact the developer of the app.

I got the same problem , only a few pictures works ...
It seems to work well with Chompsms, but i dont want those damn "iphone" bubbles

I'm having the same issue but I am doubting that it is due to Handcent.

I have my contact sync'd from Google and Facebook for HTC Sense on my HTC Incredible. Any SMS or MMS message I receive will show the contact image except the 10 or so contacts that I have in my Google Talk list. I have tried "un-linking" them but it didn't correct the problem. The same thing is happening in the original Messages application so that is why I am questioning the cause being associated with Handcent.
Any other thoughts about this?

I'm having the same issue. I recall I fixed this once by going into the contacts application and clearing the data. Everything synced up again.
OR perhaps I just uninstalled Facebook for HTC Sense and reinstalled it..I can't remember. Damn.

Yep..uninstalled FB from syncing, and reinstalled..takes a while..but they are all back in hancent.

Galaxy Nexus, notifications and email check frequency

I noticed that the Nexus misses LED notifications and won't go out to check for email unless I wake the phone and open the email app. Pretty annoying. Does it have anything to do with the sleep setting on the phone ?
For example: I work in an environment where I can't always pick up my phone, that's why I prefer the LED notifications. Someone called through the land line and asked if I recieved an important email, they also texted. I wake the phone and there was a text with no LED notification and no email. So I opened the email app and then 10 came through.It is set for 15 minute intervals and SYNCH on all accounts. WTF ?
Later I wake the phone, to find 2 voicemails and no LED notification. It is also set to vibrateand ring on calls and sometimes I believe it doesn't even ring, or vibrate.
Anyone else having this issue ?

I can't say I've had this problem but I'm pretty sure the notification led does not light up indefinitely. You would need a third party app like light flow.

I am having the exact same issue and it is really starting to annoy me (especially since I spent $900CDN to get this device). Anybody have any suggestions on a fix? I have to enter the email application in order to receive new emails. I have it set to check for emails every 10 minutes, it just doesn't.

There is another options for mail - you can setup different notification options for each label (folder) - by default you have there only for inbox. For gmail - there are also options for other labels too (and by default - there are no notifications specified).

I wonder why it worked for a few days and then quit.

Sync is fine here. And so is indicator. Used lightdlow for a bit but the repeated superuser requests made me uninstall

It might be because of your mails belongs to Inbox and Priority box or other labels and you might have notifications and synchronization only for some of them. Not really sure.

Do you have to have the sync feature enabled for it to work. I want to be able to delete emails from my handset only so sync is not important to me. I just can't seem to get my device to "grab" the emails unless I physically open the email app.

The phone will not poll for emails at your set interval (ten minutes) if sync is not on. The reason you get emails when you open the email app is because it auto-syncs when you open the email app.

Actually, mine worked at the beginning too, but for the last 2 days, nada. Just turned the "sync" feature on but it doesn't seem to have cured the problem.

I've found that my "sync" keeps turning itself off, somewhat randomly. Which would cause the problems mentioned in this thread. So just because you set it on doesn't mean it stays on.
I have a thread on it in the Q&A thread. A poorly visited thread =(

This does annoy, greatly.
EDIT:
Oops, realized this would affect google account related stuff (gmail, voice) but probably not email related notifications, since they are not 'syncing' an account, but just polling a server.

on that note, go to your Gmail account under accounts and make sure mail is set to sync

Ahh... found out my problem. User error.
On the power widget, I thought the rotating arrows was for auto-rotate.
They are not.
Apparently that's the universal sign for SYNC.
Or auto-rotate.

Precisely. That threw me for a loop several times when my brother has come to me asking why Gmail wouldn't sync. The problem is you can (intentionally or unintentionally) hit the "sync" button on the power widget, then delete the widget, and have noooo idea why you're not getting your mail .
Glad you figured it out.

[Q] Did the Yahoo! Mail app break for anyone else?

It auto-updated last night.
I wasn't able to sign-in until I enabled Yahoo in my sync settings. Previously it worked just fine without being synced.
Now it no longer pushes emails to my phone and doesn't display notifications. Even with sync enabled.
The only way to check mail is to enter the app and manually refresh the inbox.
Anyone else having these issues?
I need this email for work, I have already been late responding to a few emails this morning.

I also noticed that it doesn't push the emails to my phone in real time like GMail does. I get the notification after awhile. I am going to try and find the old apk file. Not sure what the issue is.

hey guys i updated mine too and now push notification is not wrking. can you please share it if you found a working one?thanks

Naw. 2.0.3 hasn't restored the notifications for me yet. I'm running JB as well on my SGS3. The only thing I take comfort in is I got rid of the disgusting purple theme Yahoo put into the new mail app version. Took me a week of work, but I got everything changed to blue and/or neutral gray.

It really bothers me without the push nptofication finally found the old version and now its working again

Question Notification question

Is there a way to turn on the screen upon receiving a notification?
Been look8ng everywhere to no avail.
My phone blips but screen remains off: need to raise it to turn it on.
thx

Enabling Always On Display will show you icons for pending notifications that you can glance over without touching or picking your phone

AON display is enabled but only when I tap: are you sayng that I shlioud enable AON on "ALWAYS"?
On my Xiaomi and Pixel even if AON is off, when I receive notifications the screen turns on...

I have the notifications set to show the edge color and the fireworks behind the notification preview. Is that what you mean, or do you want the entire screen on? (I have AOD always on, too. I don't wear a watch, so that's my clock and calendar, plus the notification list and what song is playing if I'm listening to music.)

I would like AOD off and screen turning on when receiving a notification: could nkt find a way.
So at the moment I have your same setup but... not all notifications get the edge color, some like emails do not. Seems that only notifications grouped under conversations do, but I find no way to change that.

I have mine set to match the color of the app, so like Instagram DMs are magenta and my different e-mail accounts match the color I've selected for them in the e-mail app (I use Aqua Mail Pro for personal and business e-mail acc'ts and also the Gmail app for my Gmail acc't, and Yahoo! app for that but I don't have notifications on for that one since it's my shopping/newsletter/Spam acc't). I also have a few keywords set up for certain contacts when they text, but I honestly haven't even noticed if that works 'cause I forgot all about it until I saw it when I was looking at the settings for you.

Was thinking of giving Aqua Mail Pro a try, but app hasn't been updated since October 2019. Nine has been the best for me.

The Pro is just the paid unlocker app; the actual Aqua Mail app was updated just the other day (got a pop-up change log when I opened it recently). It is way cheaper to buy the Pro unlocker app one time than to subscribe yearly via the actual Aqua Mail app (there is no difference between the two; I asked them, and they are very responsive to customer e-mails). I had been using K-9 Mail, which hasn't been updated in years, and Aqua is way better. I especially like that I can use different fonts and colors in the e-mail and signature, and include my logo/any other image in my signature. The double-sided layout works well on the Fold 3 inner screen, too.
