Text and email notifications

Recently my storm has not consitantly been giving me sound notifications when I get texts and emails...maybe one out of 10 do I get a sound. And the LED doesn't always change either....anyone else have this problem?

Re: Text and email notifications

Hello,

I think you can try two things : the soft reboot, and if it does not work, the hard reboot. Don't worry, you can't lose data with these two reboots.

Soft reboot :
1) Hit the three following keys at the same time :
- Alt
- Left Shift
- Delete
2) wait 2 minutes for the Blackberry to wake up.



Hard reboot :
1) your Blackberry device is on
2) remove the battery and wait for a minute
3) Put the battery back
4) wait 5 minutes for the device to wake up.


Please tell us if it works for you.

Re: Text and email notifications

I have done that 3 times now.....and it is still very random with the LED and sound notifications. The LED is more reliable, except over night, I notice in the morning it's not red even though I have gotten 5 emails! Any other suggestions? I wonder if upgrading to the .99 software would help? I am hesitant to put beta software on my phone though....  :smileysad:

Re: Text and email notifications

the red led notification lasts only 15minutes. So it's normal for you not to see it blink, except if you have received a new mail less than 15min ago.
