Email Notification Glitch || Motorola Droid 4; v.4.0.4 ICS || ongoing as of 17 January 2013

For the past  past week or so my Droid 4 has been repeatedly and continually (non-stop!) providing "new" Email notifications when I have none whatsoever, or only one new mail. The notification I receive is that I have hundreds of new mails when either one or no new mails have delivered to my mail account (for reference, hundreds of notifications per hour). Not only that, but when I open the new mails I cannot access the contents of the mail I have received, and there are always at least three to five duplicates of each "new" mail, sometimes more.
I have researched this issue via Google Search: Droid4, ICS and Android help communities and sites and now on this forum. I have attempted to troubleshoot to rectify the issue by disabling my Email notifications, powering down the device, powering-up again, then re-enabling my Email notifications, all to no avail. If I receive no resolution here @VerizonWireless Community, my next course of action will be to enter the same information and request for assistance w/Motorola.  
In my research on this topic I did find the Motorola Droid 4; v.4.0.4 ICS rollout documentation, which was no help to me for this particular issue, but from which I did learn some neat things about that software version which I'd not previously known and which were helpful to me in other ways. That file is linked below as well as the attached .pdf file in hopes that it might be of help to others.
I would most certainly appreciate any and all help and/or suggestions from anyone here at the Verizon Community.
Thanks so much and kindest regards,

Cheers!

I disabled my Email alerts and enabled gmail alerts because I couldn't stand it anymore... still hope someone here can help me, though because I very much dislike using the gmail platform on my Droid4.
I'm uploading screenshots of examples of multiple instances showing of one actual new mail and of what I see when I open a new mail... which is nothing in the body of the mail.
Multiple instances of some mails:
Email body blank when opened:
Thanks all! I appreciate any help or suggestions anyone may be able to provide.

  • Email Notification defaulting to DROID

    I've set my email notifications to SILENT multiple times but within a few days it always defaults back to DROID.  It is very annoying and I've even done a factory reset but it still happens.  Almost like its in some kind of demo mode. 

        Have you tried running your phone in safe mode to see if it reverts back to the Droid notification alert sound after a few days? The way to set your phone into Safe Mode is found through this link: http://bit.ly/Zd7nFH Please let us know if you notice a difference. If it does not switch, there may be a random app that is switching it back. Safe Mode disables any downloaded apps, so it is a good way to test what may be the issue.
    We look forward to hearing back from you. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Thank you cmgladden and kcb48. May you both take good care!

  • What is with these email notification glitches?

    Suddenly, I'm subscribed to updates from the Using iPad community.  I never selected "Receive Email Notifications", and the community doesn't recognize that I am getting the notifications.  I'm getting a flooded inbox and I can't do anything about it!  Any thoughts?

  • HT204368 Do not hear message or email notifications using Motorola Oasis, how do I fix this

    How to get Motorols Oasis to play alerts

    new account are created without a password, so asking for it is normal.
    see http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2011/07/pssswords.html
    Compare the passwords Thunderbird has for the other accounts and see if using the same one is what you need to do.

  • "Undelete" Email on Motorola Droid

    Unless I've skipped past this problem, I didn't notice anyone else with something similar. If I missed it, please direct me to the thread that will hopefully assist me.
    I accidentally deleted an email with an attachment (corporate email) on my Motorola Droid . I thought there was a way to transfer the email from the deleted folder back to the inbox to be downloaded later from the server & into my regular Outlook at work.
    I've tried everything I could think of, but can't transfer it.
    Any other ideas?? o_O
    Thanks - I appreciate your help!

    Thank you for trying to help.
    I tried that method - and just tried it again, hoping something had changed in the past 24 and then some hours, but unfortunately, it hasn't. When I long press the selected email in the Trash Folder, the only choices I have are "Open" and "Delete". I know in pressing "Delete", the email is completely gone.
    So, the deleted email still remains in my "Trash" folder on my Motorola Droid.

  • Exchange 2003 Email Notifications

    What's the story with not getting email notifications with the Droid X? Thsi is a very basic function and I see lots of posts regarding this issue but no resolutions.
    When will this be fixed?  Touchdown  or using other third party apps is not the fix I'm looking  for

    I have read that this is one of the things that might be delaying the deployment of 2.2.: there were some issues with Exchange interfacing generally, especially with Exchange 2003. I believe Motorola (perhaps working with Verizon) is doing extra testing to make sure everything works well before they release 2.2. My point here is that your concern is one of the main things addressed in 2.2, I believe. The latest reports suggest that we should have it by sometime in September if not late August.
    In the meantime, enjoy the wonderful other aspect of your phone!

  • Motorola Droid doesn't copy and paste from email?!

        Is it really true the Motorola Droid will not copy and paste from an email? My business sends me emails with information that I need to enter in the NOTE section of my phone CONTACTS and obviously a copy and paste option is the way to do that. I use three different email accounts on my Droid two of which are Outlook Webmail. Tell me there is a way or why would I have a smart phone if it can't perform the most basic computer functions? I've been online with other forums and the consensus is that the Motorola Droid doesn't. My friend has an HTC smart phone that copies and pastes from emails. Thanks for any help and I have tried holding down the SHIFT key and that does not allow me to copy precisely what I need.

    The only way to do this is to download K9 mail from the market (free). To copy paste in email you need you forward the mail, don’t send and then you can copy text. I know, it’s a kludge but that is where you are, and one of many reasons Android is not fit or the enterprise. It’s a work in progress. Sorry

  • Changing font size for motorola droid's emails

    Hi, is there a way of changing the font size with the motorola droid, when working with emails? The emails font seem a bit small. a Little hard to read. I'd like the font to be larger.
    Thanks.

    I tried Spare Parts, because I have the same problem with the font size on email - way too small for these 50-year old eyes.  It does not work on email.  In fact it says in the Spare Parts menu under Font size "this only works within this screen."  I'm using an LG Ally, BTW.
    Any other ideas for increasing font size for emails? 

  • Email notification keeps reverting to DROID sound - ever since 2.2 upgrade!!!!

    Ever since the upgrade to my X, I can set the email notification for my email to any other sound and it will work great for that DAY - after which, it reverts back to that STOOPID DROID sound. It doesn't matter what I do, it always reverts back.
    Man this is annoying.....is it a KNOWN issue with the OS??

    The Froyo update added a new option that wasnt under 2.1 for each account...  Each account allows you to give a customs alert for each account...   Goto Messaging > Account Name > Left Menu Button > Email Settings > Notifications > Select Ringtones, this will be the primary alert for that account and all others will use the default notification...
    Also remember that when you use the device as Mass Storage and using custom ringer that the ringers are stored on the SD Card so the device can not use that alert so the device usually reverts to the default alert so you wont miss a notification for new message, usually you have to restart to restore the custom alert settings.

  • Anyone has email notification problem w/ the droid & default email app?

    Just want to see if anyone/everyone out there has the same problem getting email notificaiton using default email app for gmail or any other email with all the setting enabled.   (I am not talking about gmail email app)

    I just paid my Verizon bill on line but the only problem this time is that for some reason, I never received an email notification of my bill.  I just happened to stumble on my bill on line while I was reading about other information.
    I always received the email notification before and I never delete emails like that.
    What's going on?
    Interesting......I did receive a notification on 11/11 for my bill due 12/2. I have not received a notification for my bill due 1/1 and I received the 1/1 paper bill today. Just checked my Account Profile and found that the Bill Notifications box was not checked and I think that is the setting that controls the bill notification email (and/or SMS). I have been getting notifications each month for quite a while, so I am guessing some Verizon maintenance update caused the check to be removed. I have activated Bill Notification again so now I guess I just have to wait and see if I get one next month.
    I suggest you check your account profile to see if the Bill Notifications setting has somehow been turned off.
    Edit: I See you edited your post while I was writing mine.  I do not use paper-free billing so that is one difference.

  • EMAIL NOTIFICATION but NO EMAIL

    The wife and I have Motorola Droid's (the first version)  We both have 2 email accounts on the phones, Gmail and AOL.
    Her phone KEEPS notifying her  that she has NEW EMAIL but there IS NONE!
    This is getting pretty annoying, does anyone have a fix for it?
    We have empty her email accounts of all incoming and all out going emails, on both accounts and yet it still sends her a notification that she has an email that has not been read or opened!
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you

    Have you tried to perform a soft reset on the device? To can do this by removing the battery while the device is powered on, wait about 30 seconds then re-insert the battery and power up the device. If you still experience the new email alerts when there is not any new emails, try to remove the email accounts and set them up again. To remove the email accounts follow the steps below:
    From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located on the bottom of the screen).
    Touch Email.
    Touch Menu.
    Touch Accounts
    Touch and hold the email account.
    Touch Remove account.
    Touch OK
    To Set the email accounts up, follow these steps for both email accounts:
    From the home screen, select the applications tab (located on the bottom of the screen).
    Select Email.
    Select Menu
    Select Accounts
    Select and hold the email account.
    Select Account Settings.
    Select then verify the incoming and outgoing server settings.

  • Android 2.2 update coming in early September- Will it address the email notification issues??

    The upcoming Android 2.2 update for Droid X. Will this update address the email notifications issues?? I don't have a corporate email account, but use my Droid X for my personal business. I love this phone but the email is annoying. The emails are not coming through quick enough, I don't get notified when new email arrives. I have to do a refresh to lear that I have new emails in my inbox.
    I want like to know if the upcoming 2.2 update will address these issues for personal email like aol, yahoo etc. I know they mentioned something about exchange servers being faster. This is a disappointment for me, I thought I have push email with Droid X but not really. Can Verizon comment on this?
    Thanks,

    I did all those, ie. set my email config to push email, battery on performance mode, check my outgoing and incoming servers and ports. All are corect settings, I even configured all my aol accounts with gmail settings to see if that would work but still not getting push emails. I even did a factory reset. I know this is an issue because I also checked Motorola support forums, a lot people were experiencing what I am going except that I think most them have corporate email and exchange issues.
    I don't know whether this could be addressed with the upcoming 2.2 update not just for corporate but personal emails as well, VERIZON ? Motorola??
    Thanks

  • One Email Notification to Rule All Emails

    Coming from a OG Moto Droid to Bionic so everything has been pretty thumbs up with this new phone.  I did notice what seems to be an oversite from the designers/coders.  If you sync a exchange email account and a POP email (like I do) or probably any two email accounts (except Gmail), all email (again except Gmail) gets assigned the same email notification ringtone.  This is pretty annoying on a phone that was delayed to market, and cost me $300.  Hopefully this is just an oversite by someone but I wanted to make sure I pointed this out in an official forum so that it can be fixed in future updates. 
    Of course if anyone has a solution I'm all ears...would love to hear two different ringtone notifications for my two different email accounts.  Right now they are all getting the "WORK EMAIL!" alert.  I just confirmed that this is an issue at the store, my OG Moto did this very easily but for some reason (while I get two different icons notifications in the status bar) the ringtone alert has been combined for all non Gmail accounts. 
    Thank you for any help you can provide.

    BionicDroider, thanks for posting and congrats on your new device! I understand why you would want to have separate email notifications for your work and personal email accounts. This is not something that was just overlooked or a design flaw for the Bionic. This is how Android is designed. Any emails in the default email application will have the same notification sound. You can try 3rd party mail applications from the Market for other options. 
    This is not the way Android is designed, my ORIGINAL DROID could perform this simple (but important) function and is a total step backward.  My 4G Dual Processor Machine to Rule All Machines can't tell the difference between my email accounts?  This a totally BOGUS response and very disapointing.  This machine can do better and I expect this to be fixed.  
    Thanks to the other forum members for suggesting apps to fix this.  Fortunately this is an open platform so the market can correct this.

    Hi Andrew,
    We haven’t had any issues since we started using Forms Central until after your site was down for maintenance a couple days ago.  That’s when the issue started for us.  I’m thinking a glitch on your end?  I actually called the day the site was down and it was confirmed that the Forms Central was in fact down and to give it 1-2 hours and check back.  The next day is when the email notifications stopped coming into our email address.  If you could check that out and let me know, then we’ll take it to the co-author step if need be.
    Thanks,

  • Email notification issue on E90

    Hi,
    I am using mail for exchange(version 2.9.158) on E90 (software version 300.34.84) and I use the default email notification (under settings --> General --> personalisation --> standby mode --> Active standby plugins). This show the count of unread mail in the screen. When I change my connection type in mail for exchange (I generally switch between my service provider and my WiFi connection), the default email notification disappears. I have to manually go back and enable the plugin.
    Has anybody faced this problem? Is this an issue with the software? Is there a way to fix this? Thanx
