Help Corporate email notification doesnt work.

Tinkerman61 · Feb 23, 2011

I have set up a corporate email account on my phone and set turned the notifications (status bar) on, ringtone to silent, and vibrate on. I do not want a ring every time a get an email, only vibrate.
When the phone receives an email, nothing happens. No status bar notification or vibrate. Very fustrating.
If I select a ringtone, I get the ringtone, vibrate and status bar notification sometimes.

How do i get this to work?

thanks!

Not working for me either. The notifications for my corporate email are set to on, but I get nothing in the status bar and no sound notification. Can anyone else confirm that this is an issue or know how to fix it?

Do you have notification set in the Corporate email app instead of just in settings??

CHINE · Feb 24, 2011

I have this problem too. I tried readding the email account but that did not fix it.
When I add the account for the first time I do get notifications when the phone first downloads the emails already in the account. Besides that, nothing works. No vibrate, notification, or ring tone.

Pretty annoying if you ask me.

Its extremely bad. I am not realizing when I get important emails. Will have to return for this reason alone.

I JUST got a notification for corporate email a second ago. It gave the sound, vibration and notification.

Are you saying if you select the silent sound, you dont get anything?

Tinkerman61 · Feb 24, 2011

@dsjr2006 - Yes, and i have tried all different iterations of settings. Sometimes it works, and most times it doesnt.

@ranova - Yes, but it seems not to be tied just to the silent mode i have found from much testing. It works sometimes, but mostly, it doesnt work no matter what settings i use.

I finally called AT&T yesterday and got forwarded to Motorola. Hopefully they can get this fixed soon.

If the "system" is set for silent, then no, you don't get any audible/physical notification for "anything". You may want to look into installing an app called "Quick Settings" (by Sergej Shafarenka), in order to micromanage sound. There is also a toggle widget (Silent Toggle Widget by Droidmania)that lets you select between "Ring, Vibrate, and Silent" for the system as a whole.

I can't even add my work email because the server ends in ".coop". Anyone have that problem or a solution?

Thanks for the info. However, I am not getting the blinking light on the phone nor the icon in the notification bar, so it is something more than just the sounds and vibrate, the incomming email is not triggering any notification in the phone.

This is weird. I got my corporate email set up last night with no problems(after I was helped through how to do it of course). Set up vibrate and my own sound for notification. I do have the quick settings app but dont know if that helped at all. I get the little corp sync logo in the notification bar when I get a new email.

Is your email server "IMAP" or "Exchange"? If IMAP, I'd opt for the K-9 Mail app (free). If Exchange, the generally accepted defacto client is Touchdown (paid, possible free demo avail.). Both apps have proven less issue prone, and more robust than any default mail client.

FWIW, K-9 will allow you to edit the LED color for notification.

I have Exchange. Looking in the market for touchdown. Found 'Exchange for Android 2.x by Touchdown'. Is this the one you are referencing?

Thanks!

yes, Ive used that for awhile now since stock android does not have all the security policies. Motoblur does have all the required policies. Touchdown does also, and works well

Thanks ranova. I will give a try. Reading the permissions, it sucks that you have to give that app total control of your phone? That bothers me. Also does not say what the price is after the free trial.

well it integrates (if you want) your exchange contacts and such. You can also do a global search and call from the app. It stores attachments on your sd card.

Its $20:

Same problem here. I removed the email account and did a factory reset, then installed the exchange email again and I had sound. It was long after that it faid to notify AGAIN. There is a glitch in the sw somewhere. I contacted Moto and was told to exchange it. I really don't think that will help.

Yeah, exchanging won't fix a software issue.

CHINE · Feb 25, 2011

so do you think this is going to be fixed?
it has really began to annoy me and its a bit upsetting

Tinkerman61 · Feb 25, 2011

I talked to Motorola yesterday and they were able to duplicate the email notification issue as well as not being able to select/copy/paste in a corporate email. So these are hopefully now official Motorola Issues to be fixed.

He had me do a factory reset and try again with Push disabled and use only Fetch (for polling new email). As with otter9309, it worked the first few emails, and then nothing.

They are supposed to call me back today to check progress. Will post any updates.

otter9309 · Feb 26, 2011

***UPDATE***

This does seem to be a Exchange 2003 conflict. I changed over to another account (2007) that is getting the alerts. I still think this needs to be addressed. There are plenty corporat there on 2003. I am going to temporarily forward to this account, but this is not a rea Please look into this Moto.
