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 am no longer receiving text message or email notifications on my watch. It doesn't buzz/vibrate. When I check the cards, the messages are there, the watch just isn't vibrating to let me know. I've restarted the watch, and resynced applications, and then restarted the watch after I re-synced apps, still nada. I've tested sitting still at my desk, so it isn't that I'm not feeling the buzz, it just isn't buzzing. It is vibrating for phone calls though. Suggestions?

Instead of restarting watch, I would unpair watch (bluetooth) & then factory reset the watch
Thanks, I tried doing a factory reset twice now. But I didn't unpair it first. I did uninstall all my android wear apps, or a I thought I did... but after the factory reset, some of apps came back, a timer and stopwatch. But they don't have companion apps on the phone, so I'm not sure how to uninstall them. But, the problem persists. I did discover that, at least at this point, it is only when the phone is in vibrate or silent mode. If the phone is on regular mode, then I do get the text notifications. Once I put it on vibrate, thaen I stop getting the notifications.

OK, I figured out how to uninstall the apps, which I did, unpaired it, did a factory reset, started all over from scratch, to no avail. Still not getting text message notifications... actually, the text messages come through, just no vibration to alert me. Same with emails, I get the emails, but no vibration. Oddly, I do get my Gmail emails with vibration alert. But no vibration alert for the non-gmail emails. This is not a good thing.. one th the things I liked most about the watch was to know when text emails came through and quickly check if it was something that needed prompt attention.

Well, not sure what changed, but texts and mail vibrations are working again.. thankfully... the only thing I can think of on the texts was that I switched over to hangouts on my phone. That didn't work too well, but the vibration notifications were working, then I switched back to the built in application. But, at least its working..

Not exactly a solution that gets at the root of the problem, but have you tried a third party notification app? Something like Feel the Wear? I believe that overrides the default vibration settings completely. I say that because the app needs its own "quiet time" setting and/or manual mute from your phone. Simply muting the watch via the pulldown menu won't stop the vibrations from the app.
So if you're still having issues using your preferred apps and getting alerts, perhaps give that a try?
THanks for the suggestion, will check it out...
I have the same issue. Tried everything it will not give me alerts to email or text messages. Wish I could figure this out...
A couple of things to try, change your messaging to hangouts (or other app), and see if you start getting notifications. When I switched to hangouts, I started getting the text message alerts. Then, when I switched back to the default app on my phone, the alerts (vibrations) continued. I had also gone into settings on the phone, I think it was under sound-notifications ... there was something in there that had email notifications turned off. I hadn't touched those settings, so I don't know how it got changed, but I recall there was something that seemed incorrect. I don't know if that was part of the problem or not...

I had a similar problem with my watch but only with vibrating. I figured out my problem was that if your phone doesn't vibrate, your watch won't vibrate. It actually mirrors the vibrate including custom vibration.
I have just hit the same problem, any solution guys? I get phone call notifications but nothing else no email or text message notifications...
Same problem... I get cards but no vibration. New watch. Motor vibrates when powering on.
Whatsapp & SMS notifcations not working on Huawei Watch
Any clue guys on how to fix this, since last 2-3 weeks I have stopped getting just SMS & whatsapp notifications on my Huawei watch, everything else is working just fine....I reset my watch, restarted it and unpaired as well.
But nothing seems to be working for me...
please help !!
Thanks.
hi.i have the same problem with my alcatel smartwatch and redmi note 3 pro.one day it warks but i dident know how i done it.i try everything.
After using google reminders for years ("Ok google...remind me about laundry in 45 minutes")..i have suddenly encountered a strange problem. When i say a reminder command, the "ready to save?" screeen comes up, showing the reminder title, time etc...and then there is the blue check mark to confirm and save reminder.
The issue is, when i touch the checkmark, 95% of the time, the screen just minimizes and goes to my home screen. The "reminder saved" window doesn't come up, and the reminder does not get saved. Anyone experienced this issue before? It just started happening about 3 weeks ago, and once in a while, it will actually save the reminder, but 95% of the time it just closes the window, and goes to the home screen, and the reminder is not saved. Please help!!! thanks
It is probably the same update that broke my ok Google confirmation tone. Revert back to an earlier version and test. My tone reverted to a vibrate after saying ok google, which most of the time, when you're talking to your phone, you are hands free so you don't hear an audible tone to know to start talking. I reverted to the version before update and all is right with Google again lol.
The lasted Google Now version is also bugging me. Sometimes it pops up the voice recording when I plug my headphones in for no reason. This didn't happen before. I'm pretty sure it's the app that I'd bugged
