Weird: getting iphone notification sound when I receive a new Gmail email even though account is deleted on phone?

I've been trying to debug an issue with receiving notification sounds
that I don't want to receive, and I don't know where to go from here -
I am totally confused.
A couple of days ago I started having a problem where anytime I
received an email I would get a notification sound. I didn't want
that, so I tried turning off all notifications on mail. This didn't
fix the problem, I would still get a sound when receiving a new email.
Next I tried removing my gmail account from the Mail app.
Surprisingly, I still am having the problem with getting a new
notification sound when a new email is received. (I tested by sending
emails to myself).
Next I tried turning off cell data on the phone, and also removed the
phone's sim card so that I would be sure it was only communicating
over my wifi network that it was connected to. Bluetooth is also
turned off.  I downloaded the Mac OS X Program Eavesdrop[1] and
started watching the network traffic, sent an email, received the
notification sound on my phone, and checked the network wifi traffic.
Surprisingly, there was no connections listed. So how does the iPhone
know a new message was received? This is repeatable.
I had the Gmail app running but not logged in, so I tried quitting
that app and it had no effect: I still received the notification
sound.
I tried changing the password on my Gmail account and then
tried sending another email, and it still makes the notification sound
after the email is received!
I have a list of open applications if you're interested in that. I did try turning my iphone on and back off but it still happens.  I realize I could probably fix by re-installing the OS but I'm interested to know what's going on and why.
I have my iPhone connected to my iMac and running Xcode, when the
weird email notification comes in there's this line in the console:
Nov 23 14:43:16 unknown SpringBoard[15] <Warning>: No alert sound
found at path 'UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName'.
AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundIDWithPath() returned: -1500

Hi,
I had the same issue for somtimes now and eventually removed the GMail app because the sound notifications I had happened everytime I received an e-mail in my GMail account (including spam).
Since I removed it, no more problem and my battery life is way better !

  • I want a notification sound when I receive a new email

    I have the sound turned on Windows 7 Enterprise, and I have checked in my Outlook 2010 to make a notification sound when I receive a new email, but no sound is made when I receive an email.  Can anyone advise me how to get this to work?

    Hi,
    The sound option for new coming emails lies in: File tab -> Options -> Mail -> Message arrival -> Please confirm you have selected the checkbox
    Play a sound.
    If you only don’t get a sound when receiving emails from some specific senders, you may have set up some rules to manage incoming emails, please make sure you have selected the
    Play a sound checkbox in the rules.
    If there’s still no sound, please run Outlook in Safe Mode to determine if it’s related to 3rd-party add-ins:
    Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
    If there’s no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
    I hope this helps.

    I realise there have been a number of threads like this now that I have started looking, the problem is the back-ups i made were saved to a server network which has now also gone down, a case of dreadful luck really. Is there any other way to get the music back?

  • TS4002 How can I get a notification sound when an email arrives?

    I am using Safari and icloud to manage and check emial. I am not receiving a notification sound. How can I get an audiable sound to alret me?

    Thank you. I meant new mail alert sound, but I didn't word it right   I just want to know when  new mail comes in, but its not happening. I have done different methods, including the one you suggest, but it will alert sometimes and most of the times it doesn't. For a while when I got my phone (Iphone4) and downloaded IOS6 it worked. It stopped working when I had to reset my phone to factory settings a week ago.
    IOS has been updated and I have the latest software,. but it will not alert me each time I get mail. In few occassions I get the Ding of new mail, but for 15 mails I get maybe 2.
    Thanks for replying to my question

  • Continualy getting mass emails even though they are deleted. Everytime a new email comes in I get 400 old ones..delete them, new one comes in..400 old ones return..?

    Everytime I get a new email on my computer, 400 old deleted ones come back. I delete them, a new email comes in, and I get 400 more. It is constant. Any ideas how to stop this? Thanks

    Your Mac doesn't run Classic or Mac OS 9.  Best to post in the forum that closest resembles the e-mail client.  If it is the postage stamp e-mail program that comes with Mac OS X, pick the Mac OS X version here, after going to Apple menu -> About This Mac to find your Mac OS X version:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2463
    Generally if you mix gmail, AOL, with or IMAP and POP3 it is possible you have a mix of e-mails sitting on the internet and on your computer, and the Inbox will combine both if you click the wrong one in Mac OS X Mail.  Be sure to know what accounts you have selected by selecting the mail program's preferences.
    IMAP normally is server only, where POP is normally local to your machine.  Other e-mail programs have other designations usually described in your mail program's preferences.  When you delete you have to make sure the server copy is removed of any e-mails you really don't want, or get all e-mail locally and immediately delete off server.    You should backup your data even more regularly if you keep e-mail locally on your computer.  See my FAQ on backing up:

  • TS4185 Why don't I get a ring tone or sound when I receive a call on face time?

    Why don't I get a ring tone or sound when I receive a call on face time?

    On a Mac computer the Facetime ringtone is VERY weak, even with the volume turned up. If you have your audio level adjusted to a normal level you may not hear it. A number of people have complained about it on this Facetime for Mac forum. On my iPad the alert tones when receiving a FT call is much more robust.

    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPad 2 in relation to sound. To troubleshoot the microphone on your device, see the following resource. While titled for iPhones, most of the steps are applicable for your iPad as well:

  • Not getting any notification sounds through my wired headset...WHY??

    Hi, I have a small problem with my Z10, No notification sounds come through at all when I have my wired headset is plugged in.
    The phone rings as normal during incoming calls/ txts and all I get is muted sound when listening to music at the time of the call.
    I've the very latest 10.3 update but it's still not working. I want to be able to hear any notifications that arrive to my phone when my wired headset is plugged in. It must be an easy fix??

    It says "Stop Email Updates" (indicating I should be getting them). Also, they do not show up in an spam folder. My almost worthless ISP always tells me they need headers from rejection notices that senders get when they try to send me something. But how am I supposed to get those? No one I ever have this problem with ever says they get a rejection notice.

  • How do i get iphone to blink when i have messages?  already did settings, general, accessibility, LED on

    i am trying to get iphone to blink when i have messages, got any suggestions?

    From what I was told the iPhone 5 doesn't this capability.  U would think that would be one of the basic features of the phone.  I switched from an Android and now pretty much regret it.  Android has so many more features than the apple. Only thing I like better is the iPhone is alot faster otherwise Android has it beat.  If there is a blinking light notification I would sure like to know about it.
