The Hong Kong based Post76 channel, with over 40 million views, has stolen a march on US and UK reviewers by bringing sample movie footage and a technical review of the latest 2024 Sony Bravia 9, the first Sony flagship TV in many years to use mini LED rather than OLED, to our screens. This is a short summary of some of the key takeaways from that review - full video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dFlh_7KHARQ.html
Agree with previous post ... this only clears the notification and the email app keeps running in the background and displays another notification some time later. And turning the app off in the background also does nothing as it's automatically restarted by some other process, usually within moments. This was not an issue prior to the last Software Update pumped out by Samsung a week or so back ... my phone is a Samsung A53 but I don't have any problems on my Samsung Galaxy S3 Tablet.
Thanks for confirming. The email app *always* ran in the background (syncing and hence using up battery life according to the scheduled frequency that one can configure for each email account). The issue is that Samsung has changed the app to notify us of this. This is deliberate and the latest update release notes suggest this is required to conform to Android specifications. The long term solution for this is to go to the Samsung Email app settings and turn these particular sync notifications off. Imo those sync notifications should be off by default since they are just confusing for the user, especially when the same envelope icon is used as for unread emails. I don't know whether this (imo undesirable) notification change was demanded by a Google Android specification that Samsung has to conform to or Samsung have interpreted the specification more strictly than required.
It's actually very simple, just turn off email sync notifications. Pop into Samsung email-hit the settings cog wheel-scroll down and hit notifications--scroll down to other notifications and hit that then finally scroll down and unchecked "sync notifications" Job done. No point in swiping away a ridiculous and unnecessary notification just to have it pop up later.
If you do that, does the existing notification disappear or does it just affect future notifications? I agree about this notification and made similar comments in replies below
Hi, if you scroll to the bottom of that screen I see "Notification categories". Tap that piece of text and a whole new screen comes up with "Email sync notifications" near the bottom and a toggle switch next to it.
Yep, I mentioned this in another reply here and that this seems imo like an undesirable and pointless notification - if anything there should be a notification where the app *isn't* able to sync for some reason.
Not sure I follow. What do you consider the core issue to be - presumably we want the email app to run in the background since otherwise we'd never get any emails?
I agree it is not a notification we should see but curiously Samsung seems to have introduced it deliberately and there is even an app setting to turn it off (described in other replies here)
👍Thanks. When I restart my phone it's there again so overall my feeling is that this is undesirable behaviour and needing to swipe is a workaround for a notification we shouldn't see in the first place. Or at least the notification shouldn't show with the envelope icon. I do see that buried under phone Settings > Notifications > App notifications > Email > Notification Categories > Email sync notifications, it *looks* like one can turn these off though imo that is not something the user should have to do. I don't want to see an envelope icon at the top just because the app has decided to sync - there is no action I can take about that so why alert me?
@@GIChow I followed what you so easily showed, I shut off 'Email sync notifications', lets see if that works, I had already swiped right, and then uninstalled and reinstalled the app, a pain, but it shows up. Also, now getting this 'pop up: 'Check background activity, These apps and services are active while running in the backgrounds: Email', I then force stop but that notification still shows up, really annoying, sounds like a bug from what I've had to search
Not great, my S21FE has been fine so far. I didn't personally turn the sync or any other email app notifications off and this sync notification shows up occasionally but am living with it to see how often it comes up and whether there is any pattern..
AirPlay doesn’t connect to my iPad. I discovered where the cast link is on my iPad though, so all controls necessary are instigated by the iPad. Share, then scroll down to AirPlay. In case it helps anyone else.
