Thread: Email Notifications not showing properly on .167

I am using .167, its an official OS when I bought my Storm from Etisalat of Dubai.

I have a problem with the Email Notification when using most of the themes that i downloaded

i shows that i have new emails but when i check it from the email icon itself, its not there. i can only read it from the messages icon.

but everytime i quickpull or go back to my default theme, then its showing.

can somebody help me pls

thanks a lot!

Could be an issue with the theme. That's about all I can figure.

Jinda, welcome to BBOS!!!!

The issue that you are having with the email notifications is a known bug in that OS. The best way to eliminate the bug is to use a default theme. If you choose to use a custom theme, to minimize the bug, when you receive a message, open it, then delete it. Also, delete each message individually, as the phone may freeze. (happened to me on .151 a lot of times) You may also get a notification for sms/mms, but when you go into the sms/mms folder, the new message is not there. In this case, you would need to go to the sms/mms folder, click bb key, view folder. I hope this information helps you.... Don't hesitate to ask questions.

No problem. I wish I could bring you more positive news. Hopefully something leaks for 9500 users to fix multiple issues.

Hi,

I am also from Dubai. I too had this issue and despite several calls to Etisalat, they could not pin it to OS. I downgraded the OS and the problem disappeared.

BTW Jinda, I notice that you bought a Storm and your details indicate a 8900 phone. Do you have this issue with the latest OS on the 8900 as well.

You can also into your messaging options>general options> switch sms and email boxes to seperate.

I found this helped me with my icons from staying on my screen when using a default theme.

.173 has been released and I'll try and see if the issue has been resolved.

i also installed .173 2 days ago and have no problems yet but im only using the default themes.

Maybe i'll switch to any of Natemz' themes and see.

none of non standard themes work either in 167 or 173
All themes features are well functioned except the message.
I guess we have to wait for all themes' makers to find the culprit behind this annoying bug.
