IOS4: Texts, mail and cal notifications

I think I found a possible iOS4 bug..I have a one year old 3GS running iOS4. When I get a text message, new mail, or calendar reminder, the music volume dips, the audio reminder (chime) rings and then the music volume comes back up (ok fine no problem there).. but then a few seconds after, the music volume dips a second time - no audio chime this time- and comes back up.
This happens both with the ipod function and when listening to pandora.
Happens on both 3G and wifi.
I did a reset and a full clean restore. Didnt fix it.
Does it both with phone in speaker mode and with headset.
I do not have my text chime to ring twice and even so this problem happens with mail and calendar things too.
friends have the same problem too

I just looked through this on my Droid X2 and it's not as straightforward as it used to be (but what will, now that Steve Jobs as resigned as CEO of Apple? WHO SAID THAT??? Yes, I know, he's remaining as Chairman of the Board. Ooh, this was more like a topic skid!...) Okay, back to business...
You can see if this applies to the Droid 3 as it should be similar because both are Gingerbread. I'm listing the procedure for the Droid X2.
Open Gmail, then hit the menu button (there should be one of those on the Droid 3, too, at the bottom left of the face of the phone. I don't know if it's a hard or soft button).
A set of options will open and select "more", if it's there (I hope it is, otherwise, this post just got really short). You should now be able to select "Settings". This choice should be at the top of the list. Now select your account ([email protected]).
Here is where it gets weird. Pressing your account name should open a page full of options. Scroll all the way down to "Labels to Notify" and press it. A box will open with two choices, Select "Inbox". A box called "Notifications for Inbox" should open.
Whew! From here, you can turn off or on notifications, select a "ringtone", oddly enough and select "vibrate" options.
That's a mess. I really hope this helps and good luck,

Not receiving e-mail and facebook notifications

Can someone help me??? I am not receiving any e-mail or facebook notifications on my blackberry curve 8530. I took the battery out and also ran a Diagnostics Test that said I was connected. When I tried to run e-mail setting it said "having trouble connecting to server". What can I do???
Solved!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
There is an ongoing major outage...formal information is available here:
http://www.rim.com/newsroom/service-update.shtml
From my experience, this is affecting BIS, BES, and all services that depend on those (BBM, email, AppWorld, web browsing, application access to internet data, etc.). Troubleshooting specific problems during this outage may be pointless.
Once the outage clears, if things are not yet flowing for you, please try these steps:
1) Register HRT
Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > (it does not matter which line is current) > Register Now
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you!
Cheers!

Multiple Mail and SMS Notifications Even After Reading

Is it normal to get repeat notifications of Email messages and SMS messages?
The "repeat alert" setting under Settings>Messages is set to off, but I nevertheless receive two distinch audible or vibratory alerts (per message) whenever I get an email or SMS.
The second message occurs *even after I read the email or sms*.
Thanks for any ideas.
iPhone 4/OS 4.02

switche of stamnia did not help, but i think i found the troublemaker:
i disabeld every app to get the notifications (security->notifications) and then it worked everytime - then i activated all the apps that i need (there where two left overs - apps that i allowed to fetch notifications that i don´t use anymore....) and it still works.
the two apps are:
-floating notifications
-Garmin connect
i don´t like to test the both if one is the bad boy and the other one not...but now it seems to work!

Delayed text messages and voicemail notifications

Hi all,
I am really at my wit's end with this problem. For about a week and a half, I have been having a severe text message delay. My sent messages go out fine, and are received immediately, but I have been receiving messages anywhere from a few hours to a few days late. These messages are from both people on AT&T and otherwise. When the messages do come through, they come in bursts--one message right after the other as if they were all just sent. The only luck I have had in receiving my messages in a more timely fashion has been to keep turning off and turning back on my phone.
Additionally, I have been having similar issues receiving voicemail. Someone could leave me a voicemail in the morning and I won't even be aware there was a message until well into the evening. Again, turning off the phone and turning it back on is the only thing that seems to work.
I have spent countless hours on the phone with both AT&T and iPhone tech support over the past 4 days, and each day I am told "all set, the problem's fixed!", and yet it persists. I have already reset my phone, completely restored my phone, etc., etc. Also I have not changed locations recently (that might affect the service, for example), and this problems persists even when I have a full signal. Earlier today, AT&T support completely reset my voicemail, and that has not fixed the situation, either.
Please if anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. AT&T seems to have no more options for me, and naturally they blame the phone, and iPhone support blames AT&T, and ultimately nothing is getting fixed.
Thank you for your help.

Text & voicemail are both carrier features, so I would lean more to the problem being on AT&T's side than your phone. Especially since you've indicated that you've done a restore. However, there are a couple of things left you can do:
1. Get a new sim card. Go to an AT&T store & have them replace your sim, they should not charge you for this.
2. If the problem still persists after replacing the sim, make an appointment at an Apple store. They have diagnostic equipment that can tell instantly if your phone has a hardware problem.

Ical, mail, and email notifications to events -- how to turn off

I do not use iCloud and do not want to have iCal send email when I accept into my calendar an event invitation or modify one.
Every time I accept an event, iCal tries to launch Mail, which I do NOT use for email (Thunderbird instead). I have already replied to who i want to reply to about whether I will participate in invitations and do NOT want iCal to respond.
I could tolerate iCal asking me whether it wants to respond or not, but can find no preferences or other modifications to control what iCal is doing.
This is very frustrating. Absent a fix, I believe I will have to abandon Apple software for calendaring and other applications.
Any suggestions???

Update - I finally discovered that you can unflag a message in the Flagged category, so that issue is resolved. I would still like to remove the VIP category in Mail completely, right now it is still at the bottom of my email addresses and that's the best that I can come up with. Anyone else come up with anything?

Mesage type for outbound mail and extended notification

3 month ago I used Extended Notification. All was correct.
Now in tr SOST when workflow item was created I see in front of outbound item message type Q and sending time "in 1 hour". But in the past there is message type I (and message class type was XS and now SO)
Where can I change (or bask situation) Q on I and resolve this situation and how?
In my wf I switch off deadline monitoring, but no result.
In SBWP all is correct.

Hi,
If any message in waiting status, then it will have message type Q and message class SO.
If any message is in sent or transmitted status, then message type would be I and message class XS.
Error status msg type E and msg class XS.
From the above, you will come to know that your workflow items are in waiting status.
To change it from Q to I and SO to XS, ask your basis guys to do the required changes in exchange server so that all of them will be sent to the corresponding recipients.
Cheers,
Raja.D

E-mail and Text Mesage Sounds (Notifications)

E-mail and Text Mesage Sounds (Notifications) are too low and since they all sound the same I never know if I have a new E-mail or a New Text Message. How can I set up different sounds for E-mails and Text Messages?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)
This question was solved.

if you go to pimpmypre.com, you can change the ringtone for your text/email. unfortunately, you cannot change them individually for text and email, but it expands your options from the pre default ringtone.
it's a small step, but not the solution.

Mail App and Push Notifications

I've done a bit of research and apparently the way to enable push on Mac's Mail Application is to check the "Use IDLE common if the server supports it" option. My problem is that I use a Yahoo account and this option, while checked, is faded out. Does this mean that Push notification is not possible with a Yahoo account?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select

from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Restart the computer. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. Any custom stationery that you created may be lost. Ask for instructions if you want to preserve that data. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

Find text in webpage and email notification applescript/automator

Hey guys, I'm trying to make (what I think is) a fairly complicated automator/applescript action. Basically, I'm trying to buy a certain product and it is only available on the webpage at certain times. So I want to create a function that will constantly run in the background on my computer. I want this function to reload a safari page every 10-15 minutes (the one with the store's product page), search for text (the name of the product) and either stop there if the text isn't found or if the text is found, open mail and send myself an email notification so that I'll get it on my phone if the product becomes available. Is this possible at all?

this might do what you're looking for:
on idle
          set pagURL to "http://page.url.com?whatever"
          if application "Safari" is not running then
                    quit
                    return
          end if
          tell application "Safari"
                    set URL of document 1 of window 1 to "http://your.web.address/"
                    delay 5
-- delay to let page load.
-- there are more elegant ways of doing this using do javascript, but this will suffice.
                    if source of document 1 of window 1 contains "search text" then
                              my sendAMail()
                    end if
                    return 900 --fifteen minutes
          end tell
end idle
on sendAMail()
          tell application "Mail"
                    set theMess to make new outgoing message at end with properties {sender:"your name", subject:"some subject line", content:"The message you want to send to yourself", visible:true}
                    tell theMess
                               make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:"[email protected]"}
                    end tell
-- send theMess
          end tell
end sendAMail
copy it into the applescript editor, edit in all the correct information about the web page, your email address, etc., then save it as a stay open application. when run, it will periodically reload and check the page - adjust the number after the return statement to set it to different time periods.
test it first, then when you're ready to use it set visible:false in the line where you make the message, and uncomment the send theMess line. this will get mail to make and send the message invisibly.

Why can't I set my downloaded .dm ringtones as text and email notifications?

I have an HTC Incredible 2; I paid for and downloaded several ringtones from the Verizon store, two of which I wanted to specifically use as the text and email notification sounds. I then had the already discussed problem of not being able to find the newly downloaded ringtones immediately, but from the postings on here and the Adriod forums, I followed the directions to set up the folders titled Ringtones, Notifications, and Alarms on my sdcard, and moved the downloaded ringtones into their respective folders. When I opened up the Personalize menu, under Sounds I was immediately able to find the ringtones I'd placed in the ringtone folder, but my phone wouldn't recognize the ringtons I'd placed in the Notifications folder.
I downloaded the app Zedge, downloaded specific Notification sounds (.mp3, and they work). I also downloaded .mp3 ringtones and then moved them into the Notifications folders, and THAT worked. The problem seems to be that these are .dm files? Is my phone unable to read .dm files as Notification sounds? Or is there something I missed? Something else I can do?
I looked all over for software that will convert .dm files to .mp3, found a suggestion calling for the deletion of a couple of the lines of code from within the .dm file using Notebook ++, but that didn't work. I don't remember seeing anywhere in the store that these ringtone files come in the protected .dm filetype; that many players will not be able to play them, and that I won't be able to use them for notification sounds?
Ay one have any suggestions? Verizon: am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Usually when you purchase ringtones from the Verizon store, you can only use them as ringtones. Since you have a smartphone, an app would be the best bet. You can find almost any song you're looking for in a free ringtone app, there's no need to purchase them.

Why am I all of a sudden getting all my text and email notifications in Spanish? How do I switch back to English? I can't find that option in profile or notification settings . . .

elliew,
That's a great point! If all other messages and apps on your phone are in English, the preferred language may need to be updated on your account. If this is the case for any of our customers, just reach out to our customer support team at 800-922-0204 or http://vz.to/1vsIHJq .
