Email sound notification not working?

Hey everybody,
I know since the 2.1 update has came out alot of people have been having a problem with there push/fetch email not working as well as me. The only way for me to get any notification that email has arrived is to check it manually. I have learned to live with that till 2.1.x comes out but now I am noticing that even when I do check it manually, and I get the little number telling me how much email I have next to the specified account, I am noticing I don't hear the sound telling me there is new email? I used to be able to hear that sound? I have check the sound settings and email notification is turned on. Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if it's just a thing that 2.1 has done.
Any help or comments would be much appreciated
Thanks

Jim,
A .me (MobileMe) is an IMAP type account, and this behavior is well known for it, if in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced it is select to use the IDLE command (which is to enable Push email that people like to use when accessing via cellphones. Is this the case?

Email push notification not working

I have z-push working as an activesync tool for Zarafa (ZCP) in my LAN. The account is set to an "Exchange Account", with push notification working for email. The Zarafa-server has local IP-Adress (like 192.168.0.x). Email push notification from z-push using WIFI is not working while "Mobile Data over GSM" is activated on my Iphone 4. (with IOS 5.1.1 running).The only way to get email is to open the mail client software.
Any ideas why i have to switch off data over GSM/3G to be able to get push notifiactions ?
Thx for your help !
Michael

Yahoo email "push" stopped working for me on my iPad (3.2) and, later, on my iPhone 3G (ios4). The fixes turned out to be different on both, but both are now working...
On my iPad, I needed to Reset Network Settings (under General, Reset). It did it's thing, rebooted, and I needed to re-enter the password for my home network. Poof... Push notices came in.
On my iPhone 3G, I deleted my yahoo account and re-entered it. Push started working right away.
Hope one of these is helpful for you.

Email alert/notification not working with Exchange/Activesync

Hello, I have an Exchange Active sync setup that is otherwise working just fine. Up until this morning, I had the standard audible and vibrate alert when an email was 'pushed' to the iPhone (when locked). This stopped working. I now have to go into the email app, it seems to then 'check' for emails, and only then I receive an alert. I should mention that I upgraded to 2.1 this morning so this could be related. Is it possible that 'push' is not working properly? All my other 'push' settings are the same, and I deleted my account and re-established it to verify I did not miss anything. Thanks in advance.

I am experiencing the same issue. I logged a support incident with Apple; the tech I spoke to added an Exchange acocunt to his iPhone and had the same problem - no "push". He promised to get back to me tomorrow with hopefully a solution. I will keep you posted.

New email sound alerts not working

Hi, I have tried setting up a rule to make a sound effect play when a new email arrives but whatever i do it does not seem to work - has anyone tried this? I just want a little noise to sound when a new email arrives but I get nothing with a correctly set up rule. . . . . .

It works fine for me, selecting a sound there in Preferences. If all you want is for any arriving email to trigger a sound, that is all you need, rather than trying to set up a rule.
Two things you have probably tried: One, make sure your sound is on, rather than muted. Two, delete any rules you may have tried setting up to play sounds and try it with only the Preference enabled; it's possible the rules you've set are interfering with the Preference doing its job.

My sound is not work at any app my ipad 3 gen

aim tried to listen music my sound is not work yesterday was fine i don't get what is the problem
i need help thanks

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430 It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker

iPhone: Can’t hear through the receiver or speakers

http://www.atreks.com/app-no-sound-on-ipad-4-%E2%80%93-what-to-do/
To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap on General
3. Tap on Reset
4. Tap on Reset All Settings
What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

If you lose sound for games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Alerts sounds are not working after upgrading to iOS 7.1.2

Hi,
I've noticed that all the alerts sounds are not working anymore after upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.1.2
I’ve reviewed similar posts regarding the same issue; and it seems this is a common issue in iPhone 4S when upgrade to iOS 7.1.2.
Apple, please Advise if there anything I can do to resolve the issue especially that my work deepens on the push emails and alerts that requires prompt response.

I got this issue resolved.
It caused due to some dirt in the charger slot; such dirt caused the phone to assume as if it is connected to a car kit and that is why it does not produce any sound except the Ringer and the Alarm.
It has been fixed by cleaning the charger slot by toothbrush! with some
drops of a cleaner.
Do not do it by yourself, as it might be a risk; rather, let it to be done by an expert.

Sound alerts not working in Mail and Ichat apps since upgrade to 10.4.9

I just noticed my Sound alets not working in Mail and Ichat apps since upgrade to 10.4.9.
I'm using soundsticks which is playing sounds thru quicktime, itunes, etc but my alert sounds for getting new emails and IM messages is not working. I get the quick "white flash" on the screen instead. I checked the prefs on both apps and it is set to give me the alert sound, I can even test it in the ichat pref when I change the new message alert sound it will play it thru my speakers but when I get a new message in either app it just gives me the white flash.
I'm read that it can be an issue of not having the balance in the system sound pref set the middle, so I checked that, restarted, all that but still no luck.
I really like the sound alert features because I can be in another part of my house, turn the sound way up and I'll know when one of my clients is trying to reach me but now I can't do that.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Ok, weird, strange...did ONE more restart and now its working fine...who knows?

Sound control not working on my blue tooth keyboard

sound control not working with my bluetooth keyboard

UAVPilot,
Thank you for the information. I do show that the device and car are capable of this function. I do not show any reason you should not be hearing the notifications. One thing you will want to check is that the sound for both your notifications and media are turned up. Also you can look into going into Settings>Apps>S voice Drive Mode> Clear Cache. This should clear any possible bugs in the application. Please keep us updated on this and we can check on other options.
Thank you,

trying to access a read only location. Or, the server the document is stored on
may not be responding.�
When i trying to open xls and PDF file
Expected Result:
All type of file attachments should be supported with all valid email address
(servers).
Pls help me about this senario:
What is problem in this case:
I am sending code
Session session =getSession(host,port,secure);
session.setDebug(this._debug);
               Transport trans = connect(host,port,session,userID,password);
               Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
               InternetAddress[] iAddr = null;
               message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(fromName));
               iAddr = InternetAddress.parse(toUserName, true);
               message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, iAddr);
               message.setSubject(subject);
               //BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
               Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
               MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart=null;
if(dataLocation!=null && dataLocation.equalsIgnoreCase("ATTACHMENT")){
                    String tmpName=fileName;
                    if( inputstream != null)
                              tmpName = makeAttachment(fileName,inputstream);
                    messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
                    DataSource source = new FileDataSource(tmpName);
                    messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
                    fileName = fileName.replace('\\', '/');
                    fileName = fileName.substring(fileName.lastIndexOf('/') + 1,
                              fileName.length());
                    messageBodyPart.setFileName(fileName);
                    multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

First, when sending your message, the filename should be a simple
filename, not containing any directory names.
It sounds like your mail server might be doing some special
processing of attachments, perhaps to prevent viruses.

TS5180 The sound is not working on my Iphone5, what do I do?

Sound is not working on Iphone. Have gone to settings and checked to besure sound is on, etc.

They are giving superficial solution in that post. I think the problem could be software (developers should look into it). I have this problem too, the speaker works with voice memo and ringtone but not with the notifications and apps. Apple is not taking care of this issue and they should resolve it as soon as possible.

Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Sound is not working in apps or keyboard clicks even though they are on in settings.

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.

Iphone5 push notifications not working

Exchange push notifications not working on iphone5

My work email is exchange, and it doesn't push on my new iPhone 5. I have all of the settings right for pushing. If I go to my mail, it says 'Checking Mail' and then new message show up. Any help with push notifications not working on the 5? Thank you.

This is an issue that a lot of people are having... it's all on this thread.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4345374?start=0&tstart=0
The 'fix' that is decribed in the first post does not work. The only workaround is if you are on Wi-Fi, turn off Cellular Data and then reset the push service by turning on Airplane mode for a few seconds and then turn it back off. Seems to be an issue with the iOS talking to the new LTE CDMA chip on Verizon and Sprint iPhone 5s.
