Email and text messages notifications

I was wondering is there any way to set the iphone so that as soon as you get an email or a text, you are notified immediately. It seems that I am only notified when I update my mail and that's when the phone tells me how many mails I have received. It only happens at that moment.  I want to be notified right away as soon as I receive the email or text.

If you have an email account that supports Push access for received messages which doesn't require having the account checked automatically or manually for new messages, you will hear the new mail notification sound if on when a new message or messages pushed out by the incoming mail server are received along with a badge notification on the Mail app indicating the number of new and unread messages.
If the email account does not support Push access for received messages or this is turned off, you can have the account checked for new messages automatically, which is the Fetch setting and the same will apply when new messages have been received.

  • My iPhone no longer gives me audible alerts for email and text messages.  Just stopped. Help.

    My iPhone just stopped giving me audible notifications for email and text messages.  It still rings for calls.  I have checked the settings for "Sounds" and they have not changed.  However, in these settings when I try to change the sound I get only the vibration and not the sample sound.  Can anyone help?

  • How do I get my Blackberry to only show me email and text messages? OS 6.0

    I'm in a love/hate relationship with OS 6.0 on a Bold 9650
    It is giving me too much information.  I only want to see and be notified of email and text messages, but it is now showing me Calendar and Facebook messages and notices.
    Can I change the settings and turn off these items?  I can't find anything on it.
    Thanks!!! SheriGNP
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Facebook messages: Open Facebook > press the Menu key > Options > scroll down to and UNselect the option to integrate Facebook with your Messages application.
    For both Facebook and Calendar notifications, go to your profiles and set the notications for these two apps to be silent or no notification.
    Untill you learn many of the simple features of the BlackBerry 9650, you will be frustrated.

  • When will the bluetooth support audio alerts for email and text messages?

    When will the bluetooth support audio alerts for email and text messages? It works when I get a phone call, but I'd like it to work when getting a text message (I do this a lot in noisier areas and would rather not have to look at the phone every few minutes)
    Or is there a configuration option I'm missing?

  • Email to Text Message Notification

    I'm trying to set up a text message notification for an "emergency" email account as my company is closed between Christmas and New Year's Day and I'm running into an issue with sending messages to Sprint customers, which is really weird.
    I can successfully send the stock message that I have to customers @txt.att.net and @vtext.com for AT&T and Verizon customers, but when I try to send a message to @messaging.sprintpcs.com my message status says that everything went successfully, but the text is never received. Now to pile on the weird... I can create a plain new email message and copy and paste the Sprint text message address from the same rule that I'm trying to create and the message successfully goes to the phone. So to recap, email to text by a rule doesn't work, but email to text by a stand-alone message goes through without a problem. Everything seems to be tied to the email to text being generated automatically and on the Sprint network only. Sprint is pointing me to something with how the message is getting sent from GroupWise because a manual message will successfully go through but not the automatic ones. Has anyone ever heard of something like this?

    Could be this switch 'realmailfrom' is needed, TID 10100683

  • Droid Mini notifications for email and text not working

    I am having a problem with notification sounds not working for email and text messages with my Droid Mini. I took my original phone to the Verizon shop. They did a factory reset. Sound worked for two days. Went back to Verizon and they reset it again. But they did tell me if it happened again to call Verizon and they would send me a new phone. Well it happened again. Got my new phone just last week. Well yesterday and today the sound notifications for text messages and email is not working on the new phone.  Last night I powered the phone off and back on and all was working well until this morning.
    This is very upsetting as I really do like this phone. Would like to know what is going on with it. Have checked all the volumes and they are all up.
    Is there a fix for this.
    Thank you.

    For Gmail it is: open Gmail > menu > settings > your gmail address > notifications check box is unchecked.
    There are some additional notification options for labels too.

  • Email and Text Alerts for deaf users? A critical necessity!

    I'm a little confused. I have to use "vibrate" as my ring tone because I'm deaf. Email and text messages **ARE** the telephone for deaf users and we want to know immediately when we receive an email or txt message. But I only get one little buzz when I get an email message and I almost never notice it because it's so short. Isn't there a way to make the vibrations repeat, say, 3 or 4 times, or even until you respond to the alert? I could ask the same question about calendar alerts. Is there any way controlling how many vibrations you want to receive when your calendar kicks in? I need an alert that will draw my attention to it, nag me a little when I need it to.

    There is no way to adjust vibration lengths or times.

  • Email and text Notifications when on a call

    Is there a way to stop email and text notifications when I am on a phone call? I have a long email alert and message tone, and when I'm on a call and they go off, it's so loud and long I can't hear who I'm talking to.
    They can't hear the alert but it goes on for so long they waffle on and I miss a lot of conversation. Why is this not automatically disabled or set to silent when taking a call?

    Again,we shouldn't have to. I've been an iPhone user since 3G and its taken years just to get simple things that even 10 year old nokias can do. Since we can now use our own alert tones etc, they can't even get them to be quiet when on a call. I've no need to know I've received a text or email when I'm on a call.
    Always seems like apple don't think things through in the rush to get their gadgets out. Surely this is an easy fix that could have been sorted by now, there are enough complaints about it.
