Gmail Iphone sound notification

I have been trying to figure out a way to get my Iphone to give me a sound notification automatically when I recieve an email. Pretty sure It did this when I first got it
Currently it only makes a sound when I manually press the "mail" app after it connects with my inbox, but I want to be able to only check my mail when I hear a sound. I feel some obsessive behaviors building up here !! LOL
Is this possible, with gmail? It seemd like it did this when I first got it but after a few emails I had to check the mail each time.

It is, and has been on. Very strange it won't notify me until I actually access the inbox. It makes the sound then,...but I want to be notified without having to sign in and connect.
thanks

For any of you's who have been frustrated with no sounds for notifications on Facebook, and to those who despises them!
There is now a fix for both worlds..Yes Facebook finally fixed their facebook notification sounds on iPhone. This post is for the people who enjoy getting facebook notifications, like me!
-Go to the facebook app on phone
-Go to Account Settings
-Go to Notifications
-Go to Mobile Push
-Look at the top of the screen, go to where it says "Sound for push notifications"
-Edit it to ON for all notifications
Enjoy guys. And for those who dont want sound than dont edit this and leave at default!!

Try:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
then set it up as a new phone (not using the backup).

I have a nearly identical problem with my Ipad 3. Mine is the left channel. I've yet to find help, but have found a number of other posts on this and other forums discussing the issue. People have tried restore, reset etc. Also, cleaning the ports with compressed air or cotton swabs. It appears to be a software issue, but no one is sure.
Along with the original poster, I'd appreciate any help.
As far as the 'level 6' poster, if you're going to be rude, please don't bother. Hope it was just a bad day.

Sound notifications on iPhone 4S with iOS 6 go silent occasionally

Since upgrading my 4S to iOS 6 there have been two occasions where the sound notifications (email alerts, alarms, etc) go silent (the vibrations still work). I am able to get sound out for other items (music, games, etc). The only way I have found to get the sound back for the notifications is a hard reset of the phone.
Has anyone else had this isse?

The strange thing is that my wife have iPhone 4 and I updated her phone to iOS 6 and it works. The autobrightness doesn`t go upp all the way. It works as it did in iOS 5.1.1
Isn't it weird??? It shuold work in the 4s too.

TS1702 Why we still dont have sound notifications on iPhone??? This started in September with the launch of the new IOS and iPhone 5... I've been waiting and waiting and still nothing... How hard can this be to fix????????

Why we still dont have sound notifications on iPhone??? This started in September with the launch of the new IOS and iPhone 5... I've been waiting and waiting and still nothing... How hard can this be to fix????????

Hi guys... The notifications i'm speaking about are everything that happens on our facebook. The only exception where i get notifications is if someone actually use my name on a post, then i have a notification. Now, if it is a post on my wall, a comment on one of my photos or even a like, there is no sound or vibration at all.
Also, when i say "We" is bacause there are a few users complaining about the same. There are some other forums, specially on facebook about this. What happens is that facebook blocks some of those groups.
One more thing is i did try all possible things to make sure i was doing the right things in order to have notifications. Slider is obviously not in mute position, notifications sounds are on on facebook settings on main settings and also inside the app they are on. Did try to switch everything off and reboot then change again. Did restore the iPhone as new a couple of times. And like i said, if someone actually write my name i will have sound notification...
Anyway, many thanks for your help

Check the Mute switch, which is on the left side of the phone above the volume buttons.

IPhone 5 Update 7.0.2 Sound Notification Issues

Hello Apple support,
my wife and I both have iPhones 5 and after the 7.0.2 update we are having issues with iMessages getting stuck and not being delivered nor sent.
Also, on normal messages/texts my wife's iPhone 5 is NOT getting any sound notifications when someone texts her.
And, the normal messages/text are sometimes not being delivered to people at all...
Please make a usefull and fixed update soon, or let me know what I can try to fix this issue.
Thanks

Ok, I just found out that my wife's phone had a Do Not Disturb option ON somehow
but her messages are still not all being delivered to people she texts.

IPhone 5 when SMS arrives double sound notification one screen notification

Hi all,
Today I have faced a sms notification problem and couldn't solved yet.
When somebody sends sms to my phone first I hear sms sound notification but nothing appears on the screen, after 1 seconds I hear second sms sound notification and sms notificatin appears on the screen. The first sound notification is redundant. I have checked the notification settings, all of them are default settings..
Thanks in advance..

That's odd. Try a reset and see of the results change. Press the Sleep/Wake button and Home button at the same time for ten seconds until the Apple logo appears. Note: No data will be lost.

No email sound notification

Hi all,
on my new iPhone 3G I have several email accounts set to check every 15 min. When the iPhone is in standby mode it does receive those new mails, which I can see on the Mail icon when I switch on, but I never hear a sound notification, although switched on.
Is this supposed to work like that?
Thanks

I have been having the same problem and even got Apple to replace the phone.
Same problem on the second phone.
But, everyone I know who has an iPhone, including my husband, has the email sound working fine.
Has anyone found the answer?
Also, a question: What type of email account is giving you the problem and what is the domain?

How can I get my sound notifications to work? They used to but have stopped. I get the banner alerts. I have checked in Settings - Sound and the volume is at max. Help please.

For some reason the sound notifications on my iPad mini have stopped. I still get banner alerts but that is it. I have checked Settings - Sounds and the ringer and alerts setting is at max. I have updated the IOS system. Not sure what else to do.

Unlock can be done only by original Carrier. You should get
this straightened out before leaving Canada. Warranty on your
iPhone is not international - if you need any repair or replacement,
you will have to return iPhone to Canada for this to be done.

Why won't DND supress sound notifications when earphones are connected?

The other day I was listening to relaxation music and switched on DND to avoid being disgurbed by any notifications. My earphones were connected. The iphone did play all sound notifications like mail and whatsapp and that was a big annoyance to my meditation.
I know I could use airplan mode but i dot wanna miss important notifications for review later.
Anyone facing a similar issue?
Neerav

Yeah, i did it already but i can not get the device to reset. I let it for 10 sec. But the logo never appeared. Tried it several times, no result. Is there a another way to do that ?
Thanks

Send Mail Sound Notification

Hello All,
Prior to iOS 7 when sending email you would tap send and the mail would process the email and once the messages was carried you would hear the "whosh" sound indicating the email had been sent. Then since iOS 7 when sending email you hear the "whosh" sound immediately and the email processes to be carried. This is very misleading that the mail has been sent when it is still sitting in your out box. I had more confidence knowing when I hear the mail notification that the email had been processed and sent. Now I have to keep tabs on whether its been sent or not; this has burnt me when I upgraded and my mails didn't get sent, thinking that they had.
Anyone had this problem, is there a way to trigger the sound notification when its been sent rather than making the sound before its been sent?
Again very misleading when it actually hasn't been sent yet.
Thank you

You are probably connecting to GMail using IMAP and have Mail set to allow push connections (ie, the server contacts your machine when new mail comes in). The sound is not played in that case. Go to Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts, select your GMail account and click the Advanced tab. The checkbox at the very bottom says "Use IDLE command if the server supports it" - uncheck that. Now you'll only get mail as often as you have Mail set to check for mail, but you'll get the sound when there's new mail.

SMS Repat sound notification

Hi,

The sound (notification) play only one time ... it there any way to repeat this notification ?
Because if we got one at 3 AM and if im sleeping and this single beep will not waking me up
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Dany

EXACTLY my problem with the iPhone... EXACTLY!
My NOC sends us SMS notifications when servers/services are down or having issues. One chirp doesnt do the trick! I used to use PhoneAlarm for Windows Mobile (GREAT APPLICATION with a GREAT developer).
The only iPhone app that comes close is Intelliscreen and Kate (Caterpiller). Problem... These applications require you to Jailbreak the iPhone as Apple may/will NOT allow apps to run in the background - TOTAL JOKE for the IT and Business customers.
Unfortunately, our Network Operations people cannot have iPhones. Windows Mobile and others are it for now.
Apple should add repeating alarm options...

Sound notification for SMS

How can I set a sound notification for SMS? Thanks!

For SMS, you are limited to the six default choices unless Apple changes that.
