I'm running Calkulin's E4GT v2.5, and have noticed that gmail is not background sync'ing and alerting like it used to ( no idea how long its been not doing it ). I made sure background data and auto-sync are on, but it seems gmail only 'sync's when i hit the power button to check to see why i havent gotten any notifications.. then within a second or two, it does the notification thing.
Any idea how I might fix this?

I've always had this problem since I can remember and it seems to only happen with sense roms as far as Iknow but randomly on the notification bar the little sync icon will appear and stay there unless I goto accounts and sync and hit cancel sync. The thing is nothing is actually syncing. It just randomly does it
Its something minor and small but very annoying, does anyone else get this and know how to fix it?
Settings>Accounts/Sync> and uncheck the auto-sync option. Should fix ya right up.
Scenario:
I plug my phone in at night to charge. When I wake up, I expect to see the notification light blinking for new gmail, however, it doesn't. I then activate the screen and expect to see a gmail notification in the notification bar, and that is missing as well.
I than open gmail, and it looks as if there were no emails since the previous night. However, the gmail refresh icon is running and after about a minute, all of my emails since the night before then show up in my inbox.
Is there some setting somewhere that tells gmail not to sync when the phone is in sleep mode?
I haven't installed any power management apps although, on my last phone when I had JuiceDefender, gmail sync was not affected.
Any ideas? THANKS!
I just moved to my S3 from my E4GT. I loaded all my programs and now I get this random notification tone every so often. It could happen at different times, 15 minutes, 1 minute, 18 minutes between each tone. The thing that is driving me crazy is it doesn't have any icon in the task bar letting me know what program is doing this. I have checked through every program that I can think of and none of them has this particular tone and I know they all have a task bar icon. The newest app I installed around this time was Falcon For Twitter, but I have put it silent notifications and also changed the tone and it appears it is not from this app.
Ugh, I don't want to uninstall one app at a time, but it might come to that.
what does the tone sound like?
Turn off Auto-Sync for a while and see if that stops it. It seems like I heard a similar sound when I first installed this ROM, but I always turn auto sync off to save battery and I haven't heard it since.
Did you check the email app?
Of it only happens on WiFi check to see if you have the box labeled check for internet connection under advanced in wifi, if your internet drops I.e. still connected but it doesn't have and download it will alert you

I finally found it. When Yahoo mail updated it turned on notifications. I thought I shut it off but it only turned off the visual notification not the audio.
I can't find any reference to this happening to anyone else, but I'm getting very frustrated with the Facebook app. I explicitly changed the notification settings to never vibrate, and only notify me for messages, not for anything else.
Inevitably what happens is, a few days later, it vibrates out of nowhere with a notification for something that isn't a message. I open the app, look into Settings and everything has a checkmark again (including Vibrate and all of the things I don't want to be notified about). I have to fix the settings roughly three times a week.
Does anyone else experience this?
I'm wondering if maybe the best solution is just to download Facebook Messenger and then use the Jelly Bean option to ban the Facebook app proper from sending me any notifications at all.
OK, this is a bit minor, but it is really bugging me. I use Business Calendar Pro for my calendar. I turn on notification with Business Calendar, and then turn them off in the Android calendar. That way I won't get two notifications. This has worked with the past three HTC phones.
The problem is that no matter what I do, I can't get the built in calendar to stop posting reminders. Every time a reminder goes off, I get two notifications. I've gone into the default calendar app and made sure the notifications are off, but when I get a reminder, it appears that the setting gets turned back on. This is not one of the apps that can be disabled either.
I've also gone in and deselected all calendars from the app, so that it should not in theory contain any appointments anyway.
I'm not rooted, but I'm hoping someone else has had this and found an answer.
