1.1 email notification change

jameskk · 07/23/2009, 07:10 PM

email notification no longer display a snipit of the email across the bottom of screen when they arrive.. just displays envelope in corner... I noticed this behavior in the SDK Emulator when it was released. Not sure if I like this or not

Jordus · 07/23/2009, 07:35 PM

just noticed this, and it dissapoints me because id like to see who is messaging me to know if its urgent or not.

trim81 · 07/23/2009, 07:36 PM

believe it or not, but this will save alot of battery life

seanb61 · 07/23/2009, 07:45 PM

tap the icon

jameskk · 07/23/2009, 08:04 PM

yeah I am kinda liking it... it still shows with txts which is good.

WhoAmI · 07/24/2009, 10:01 AM

I like the change - I can easily tap the icon to see what it is after all!

Jaer57 · 07/24/2009, 10:04 AM

Not only it doesn't show the "preview", but it doesn't wake up my phone either. It may save battery life, but I would at least like the options. Palm, please let us customize all this! One size fits all doesn't work with email, especially for business users...

Totally agree. I want options menus for my options menus.

sanmanc · 07/24/2009, 01:36 PM

It does show the preview when the device is locked but goes away after you unlock the screen.

JohnnyKat · 07/24/2009, 09:28 PM

totaly agree with Jaer57- give us options!

njeske · 07/25/2009, 01:50 PM

i personally like the change. however options are always a good thing so that people can customize it themselves.

a.u.c · 07/25/2009, 11:19 PM

no wake up is correct...all I get is sound and vibe...but no wake up on screen...
I use my pre mostly for business ie emails mainly...this will take some getting use to...

T.E.N. · 07/31/2009, 08:56 AM

I second (okay15th) Jaer57's customization call.
Removing that functionality definitely takes away from the unobtrusiveness (word?) of the notifications.

Sullivan Black · 07/31/2009, 11:01 AM

A mixed bag for me. The fact that it doesn't wake up the screen is a very good thing. Why it only shows a preview while the handset is locked is beyond my ability to comprehend. If I am already looking at the device it would make sense to show me a preview...

Enlil242 · 07/31/2009, 11:42 AM

When my screen is locked, it does 'wake up' and display a preview notification of the an email ... at least two out of three test messages did. As far as when I am on the device doing something. I would like an option to view the preview as well. That is one of the 'cool' features I like[d] about the phone. To have more control over notifications should be inlcuded in 1.1.x

sivan · 07/31/2009, 11:42 AM

Gawd. What an idiotic move.

Honestly every time I need to tap that icon I want to throw the Pre under my car and run it over.

Adding a tap? What bull**** is this Palm?

For years Palm was religious about eliminating unnecessary taps.

Stop annoying your users!

SDash · 07/31/2009, 11:51 AM

I prefer it this way,
I text often and do things often on the phone and the preview minimizes my screen so there's less to work with >

.

But I do agree we should have options for our notifications.

meyerweb · 07/31/2009, 12:37 PM

Meet the new Palm, (NOT the) same as the old Palm.

All those usability engineers that built the P-OS interface and PIMs appear to be long gone. All the ex-Apple engineers who believe in the Steve Jobs philosophy that "we know what's best for you" are in charge.

Customization? That implies that the developers didn't get it perfect.

sivan · 07/31/2009, 01:08 PM

If you think about it, the Pre notifications are now even worse than the ******** iPhone!

You get something to tap on if you want to see what the notification is about. At least the iPhone shows you some text.

Notifications are one of main reasons I got the Pre. With that crippled what else is left? Nothing the iPhone can't do.

Really? I used to NOT get woken up (screen turn on) in 1.0.4, and I loved it. Ever since 1.1 my phone now wakes up when a notification happens and I hate it. The sound (and vibrate) are all I need, turning on the screen wastes battery.

Ideally they should make it an option to satisfy both groups of people, but I can't understand why you're experiencing the exact opposite of what I am.
