On my iphone 3G, I used to get email notifications without checking manually, on my iphone 4 not so much.I went to the Genius bar and they had me send a test message while I was there and i got a notification right away, but prob still exist w/ mobile me.

Question

I just want to know why I have to open my mail app to get my emails. On my 3GS I used to get notified without opening the mail app and now on my 4 i don't get the same functionality. I have a mobile me account, and I have my settings set to receive push notifications every 15 minutes....what gives?

Answer 1

If you are getting Siri when you double tap, then your home button must be sticking. Siri comes up when you hold the home button. Try tapping quickly twice. When that happens, the multi-tasking list comes up and you will see the app icon and then a thumbnail, or reduced size view of the app above it. You put your finger on that thumbnail and swipe upwards with your finger.
For that issue, you might want to do a reset of the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. This will not affect your data.
To be honest, your novel is a little difficult to read, and I think you put too much information in there, and a lot of it is unnecessary. Be to the point and just add information necessary to understand the issue.
