I noticed that text messages send toast notifications when there is a new message on the top or the screen. It's there a similar function for email? I believe email has all the same options as text in the notifications settings.
Can this be done? Getting fed up of getting a notification for whatsapp for example that sits over my browser search bar for too long, have to stop what I'm doing to open the app to clear the toast bar..
I got my 950 xl yesterday and have been having fun setting it up. Fairly new to Windows phone, so a few settings I'm still looking for. Have spent a few weeks reading this forum in prep, so am fairly up to speed with most things/issues to expect - for example my update to .29 got stuck yesterday, with low on space messages popping up, but i found a thread on here which said to plug my phone in and leave it and it eventually installed fine :)
My Glance was set to 15mins, but was always on, so now i set it to 30 seconds and it seems to like this setting. I'm missing Quiet Hrs setting, but I understand this will prob come back in a later update. Hoping the double tap to wake will come back at some point (I experimented with a 640 over the last two weeks and loved that feature). I would also like to disable vibrate on the navigation buttons, but I dont this is possible yet in Windows 10.
My question at the moment is - is there a way to disable toast notifications from apps when my phone screen is off, as at the moment the toast notification activates both the screen and Hello, which I don't think is particularly energy efficient. I still would like a toast notification when the screen is on. Is this possible?
I love the Toast notifications on my Icon, which has Windows 8.1 through Verizon. The only problem is that they only display for a few seconds and they usually vanish before I can get to the phone to see what the notification was, and as far as I can tell, there's no way to pull up a list of old notifications. So I'm wondering if there's any way to make these notifications display longer. Right now, they seem to be about five seconds and they're gone. I'd like to extend that to at least ten seconds. And is there any way to pull up a list of old notifications so I can see what I might have missed when I was away from my phone?
I have been given a lumia 950 at work but used to have an android based phone. I have configured my work email and can see the inbox and all other folders as I should.
The problem then starts here, on my desktop outlook I have email rules that move new emails from certain people into relevant folders for them but on the lumia I only see a notification saying there is new email in the inbox and not for the other folders I have. On the android I used to have this would show all new emails on one screen even if they were in another folder.
How can I be notified of new emails arriving into other folders within my mailbox or have them showing up on the first screen like the android or otherwise the phone will be unusable as I will miss too many important work emails because they don't show me notifications that they have arrived.
In the past few days, the following things have happened.....
-Email notifications no longer show up on my lock screen or the email tile. They used to, now they don't. All the setting are unchanged. -I get notifications that my phone is running out of storage space. I'm using 6GB out of 32, AND I have a 32GB card installed. -Battery drains like someone shot a hole in it. Even plugged in to the USB port on my computer, it's slowly dying. This, of course, makes the back hot to the touch. -I can't attach pictures to text messages anymore.
I'm not enrolled in any preview program, I didn't install anything strange, I didn't receive any notification updates, just business as usual until things went bad.
If your answer is going to be "hard reset" or something
I have a Galaxy S5 and would like to be able to stop the notification of receiving an e-mail without stopping the notification of text messages. Is there a way to differentiate? I was able to do this on older phones.
I am new the blackberry and I have a Tour. I have tried to set up the notification settings such that the email is silent and the phone calls are on vibrate- is there a way to do that?
I started having this issue yesterday--I have YMail, Hotmail and GMail accounts all in the stock e-mail app on my Nexus 5. I also use Lightflow for LED notifications and have had no problems. I noticed I was no longer receiving the taskbar icon notifications in the upper left for new e-mails, nor the Lightflow LED notifications. I still get Hangout/text notifications, not sure about missed calls.
1) Confirmed notifications set to On in the e-mail app for each of the e-mail accounts
2) Turned phone off and then back on
3) Cleared data and cleared cache in e-mail app -- didn't work
4) Uninstalled Lightflow app
5) Deleted all 3 accounts from the e-mail app, then added them back in; rebooted -- still no notifications
I don't use the stock GMail app for GMail since I prefer to just have one icon to use to keep track of all my e-mail accounts.
After doing a hard reset to solve the e-mail image problem, another problem occurred, when I went to Settings > System > Notifications & actions > 'Show notifications from these apps', nothing appeared. After a day or so, the apps started trickling back in (I think they actually had to try to push a notification in order to re-appear?) and seemed to work fine for a few days. Problem solved, right?
I don't seem to get notifications (specifically from Outlook Mail and Facebook). Both still show under the 'Show notifications from these apps' section, but I just flat out don't get the Banners, Sounds or Vibrations. When I 'wake' my phone with the power button, it will show x number of notifications in the 'quick status' at the bottom of the screen, however I never got the notification as a Banner, Sound or Vibration. (This means I'm not just Charlie Brown waiting for his Valentine's card at the mailbox.) Silent/night mode is disabled in Cortana and I get other notifications (Text messages, phone calls, etc).
im am trying to hide SMS notification on the Display of my Nokia Lumia 800, because if i leave my Phone somewhere one the Table, everybody can read my sms and the sender. That is making me really nervous and i have always to hide my phone in my pocket. I searched over internet and in discussion board, also on troubleshooting page, but still couldn't find any help. Im using more than 12 years only Nokia and until now, i haven't experience any trouble like this. But since windows phone, i think everything is more complicated with Nokia Phones.
I'm using Gmail in Lumia 950 while setting Battery Server to On, and I have set the sync settings to "As Items Arrive". I have also assigned Mail and Calendar App to receive push notifications while Battery Saver is On. However, I'm not receiving push notifications and I am forced to sync Gmail manually. My phone is running the latest release, i.e., .71. How this can be resolved? Or, is this is a known issue which MSFT is still working on?
Have new notifications in the Me hub and they show up as unread, even after you open them. I have several that are still showing up as unread, even though I have opened them several times.
To clarify: My theme is cobalt and I have a handful of notifications that are still showing as cobalt, while the rest are white. I thought after you checked the notification, it turned white. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm having trouble with my new Nokia Lumia 1520. My notifications for both Whatsapp and Viber dont work. They dont come up on my screen or in the notifications center, been trying for nearly 2 weeks now ! :(
I've been using a 950 XL since early December and have been experiencing spotty performance with receiving App notifications. After performing 2 hard resets (one in particular to solve the Outlook email image problem), my 950 XL has been performing well except with failure to receive notifications from apps which are all set ON for background use. These include the MSN News, Sports, and Money apps, as well as other apps such as CNN, ESPN, ABC NEWS, NBC NEWS. Fortunately, Outlook mail and calendar notifications work fine and IM apps such as Telegram and WhatsApp seem to work on occasion (with some delays), but Skype rarely works.
But after I do a soft reset, a flood of notifications from the aforementioned apps will normally come through. Notifications will continue to work for up to about an hour, then nothing until after I do another soft reset. The same thing then happens and notifications start to come through. I have Bluetooth enabled and paired with my Vector watch and Band 1, and notifications work perfect for them. I've tried turning off Bluetooth, but this did not solve my problem with receiving notifications. I just received the most recent firmware update 2 days ago and I'm currently on build .29.
I have a Nokia Lumia 820 from ATT. So I cant seem to get voicemail notifications unless i have my data connection. I usually leave it off so I was wondering if there is a way to get voicemail notifications without leaving my data on all the time.
We cant get Facebook notifications. We get the Alert on the Me tile but when we get into the NOtifications section and click onthe notification we get the following message - "Cant get Picture. It may be a connection issue (You can try again Later) Someone else's Picture? It maybe an issue with their privacy settings"All other sections of the Facebook integrations work fins, apps, email, browsing all works fine.Internet works perfect, dont know what the issue is with the Notifications, even if it is my own Picture.
I can't seem to get facebook app notifications to work on my Nokia Lumia 920. I've selected 'toasts and tile count' and all the boxes underneath are ticked, yet i still don't recieve notifications. Even on my lock screen i don't recieve notifications.
So im not reciving any update notifications for any apps. If i go to the Store there is no notifications but if i got to an app like "Nokia Maps" there will be an update. Also I dont recive any of the updates for "Extras+info" that i keep hearing about. I know some people are saying to go to windowsphone.com and force the update from Puchased apps but it doesnt show up there.
Attached is my "Extras+Info" information. Iv tried factory reseting my phone too.
After trading in my unlocked 950 for the ATT 950, glance doesnt show SMS notifications. Missed calls, VM, and facebook all show normally on glance. SMS turns on screen and toast notification as normal, just not on glance screen.
I just got a Lumia 950, and I'm not very happy .. I had my previous Lumia for 2.5 years with no issues .. I'm consistently losing the sound notifications on everything (ie: messaging, alarms, calendar, mail, etc).
I have gone through all of the banner checks, setting everything to "default sound", and consistently having to reset this stupid phone to get the sound to work for only a couple of days, before it goes away again, and I have to go through the process again ...
I got my Lumia 950xl last night. Had some problems setting up but all is well now. But, for the life of me I can't find where to enable notifications on the pulldown screen. I only get two notifications (Outlook mail and phone and only these two are shown as enabled in the notifications and action screen) . I had no problem with my 830. When I pulled down the screen from the top, all the notifications from all my other emails etc would appear but I cannot find a way to enable this in the Lumia 950xl. Maybe I just have a case of the "dumbazzzz" today but this is bugging me.
I have just got the new phone and the charger.. Pairing and all went fine., but no notifications from the charger (fast blinking)..I did try soft reset, forget the charger and pair again to no avail..Do the Gadgets app need an update?It does show the led light intensity changes when changing the setting from the gadget app, so I'm guessing its not the pairing problem.
***I turned on the keep notifications private on the lock screen toggle.How do you snooze the alarm while Glance Screen and lock screen is active? For example, my phone screen times out bc I'm sleeping for 7-8hrs and then I want to snooze my alarm?The alarm has a little pull down but i don't see the snooze or dismiss.
