working!

Notifications stopped working again today for some reason. Live tile turns itself off whenever I try to turn it on, and toast notifications refuse to turn on altogether.

Is that fixed now? Amazon has been giving us some issue lately. We had to do a reboot to the servers, which meant a downtime of about 30mins. That's how long the outage should had been. Let me know if that's not the case.

What about custom notification sound for MetroMail?

as from GDR3 every app can make an option for users to select a custom notification sound (also coming soon to WhatsApp).

 

[Qtweeder]

i am not sure if you mean custom, as in select your own....but metromail now allows you to select a sound file, from a selection of files that are pre-chosen by the dev.

what is the actually meaning of background sync, I don't understand, anyone pleas explain
if I don't allow background sync (off) then I will get mail or not??
as I am happy with notifications with last version

That's coming next week. You are only going to be able to select an alert sound, out of a list of sounds supplied by the app. In fact, you can select a different alert for each of your email accounts.

Only in the beta Hitting the store hopefully next week. I assume the OP was referring to the public version.

If you leave it off, the app will work exactly as it works now. If you enable it, it will be the case that occasionally, newly received emails will be pre-downloaded for you when you launch the app.

will we be able to select a specific notification? i mean if i add a notification sound to the phone itself and it appears on my notification files list, will it also appear in the app sound list?

For now, it is only possible to select one of 10 pre-defined alert sounds. Just curious: are you aware of third-party apps that do what you suggested?

As I understand this feature is coming to whatsapp (already in beta) and we will choose notification from the phone sound directory.

Hi...Nokia Lumia 521...
problem associated with last two Beta updates:
I manually refresh for new mail...
lately, MM seems to get caught in a loop...the progress circle just keeps spinning and spinning...
this happens approx every other refresh i perform....
can i go back two versions? or is this related to something else?

THANKS

Unfortunately you can't go back in versions. Are you on the beta? 1.4.0.3 that was just submitted now, should address this (fingers crossed!). Please note that this bug is simply the animation; the app doesn't actually use your data connection indefinitely.

Sorry about this!
